According to Vietnamese folklore, Holy Mother Lieu Hanh is one of the Four Immortals. Holy Mother is the daughter of the Jade Emperor, who descended to earth three times, manifested her spirit to help the people and the country, was honored as "Mother of the World" and has been honored and worshiped by the people of the whole country for hundreds of years. In the past, in Vinh city, there were many cultural relics worshiping Holy Mother.
