Ceremony to receive the Certificate of Historical Relic of the Tomb and Temple of King Mai's Mother.

(Baoghean.vn) - The People's Committee of Nam Thai commune (Nam Dan) has just held a ceremony to receive the provincial-level historical relic certificate for the Tomb and Temple of King Mai's mother.

According to historical records, King Mai's mother was originally from Mai Phu village, Thach Ha district (Ha Tinh). At the end of the 7th century, she came to live on the top of Con Chen in Ngoc Trung hamlet, Dong Liet commune (now Nam Thai commune). Here, under the care and protection of the villagers, mother and son worked hard to support each other. Once, while going up the mountain, she was attacked by a tiger. Mai Thuc Loan and the villagers brought her back to be buried on the top of De mountain.

Leaders of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism awarded the Certificate of provincial-level historical and cultural relic to the tomb and temple of King Mai's mother.

Grateful to the mother who gave birth to and raised the national hero who led the Hoan Chau uprising to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, for more than 1,300 years, the people of Nam Dan have always cared for and offered incense to her temple and tomb. In 2012, the local government and people restored the sacred temple and shrine of Mai Thanh Mau on Con Chen, including the main hall, kitchen and stele.

Many people from all walks of life came to offer incense and visit the relic site.

The tomb and temple of King Mai's mother in Nam Thai commune are important historical relics in the relic complex of King Mai Hac De in Nam Dan land. The Provincial People's Committee's granting of a Certificate of ranking the tomb and temple of King Mai's mother is an affirmation of the historical and cultural value and the establishment of a legal basis for the protection and promotion of the value of the relic.
