(Baonghean)The book Place names, historical and cultural relics of the Mai King Festival in Nam Dan by Professor, Doctor Nguyen Quang Hong was just published by Nghe An Publishing House in early 2013, and will certainly receive the attention of readers!
Coming to the book, readers will learn a little about Nam Dan land, Mai Thuc Loan's hometown, the place where the Hoan Chau uprising broke out in 713. Next, we will visit the places that were associated with the hero during his childhood years, such as Con Chen cave, Con Ho cave, Con Den cave, Tuong Son mountain, De mountain... It was here that Mai Thuc Loan had difficult years, had to endure the pain of losing his mother, had to witness many humiliating scenes of his hometown people under the domination of the Tang feudal dynasty. All of these things instilled in the heart of the young man from Nghe An at that time the will to hate the enemy, and then these rivers and mountains became the place where Mai Thuc Loan trained soldiers, practiced martial arts, stored food and made the uprising. The uniqueness and appeal of the book is also shown through some original works in Chinese characters, by King Mai that still have full value today, even after 1,300 years.
In order to collect valuable historical documents, author Nguyen Quang Hong, with the enthusiasm of a son of Nam Dan, with great effort and effort to learn, research and collect, has concretized all the places and cultural relics related to the lives of Mai Hac De and Mai Thieu De. The documents have been arranged scientifically, easy to understand, easy to read, easy to remember, not only introducing in a specific and vivid way the places and relics, but through that, the life of Mai Hac De, the Hoan Chau uprising and the capital Van An have been objectively and vividly recreated, providing information for readers to continue to learn more...
The book "Places, historical and cultural relics of the Mai King Festival in Nam Dan" was published as a respectful offering to the national hero Mai Thuc Loan, and all the brave sons who fell on their homeland in the life-and-death struggle with the enemy, to gain and maintain the sacred independence of the nation!
