Photo series recorded by Nghe An Newspaper reporters at some relics in the province

Xuan Hoa Temple, located in Quynh Xuan Commune, Hoang Mai Town, is a historical and cultural work recognized as a National Historical Relic in 1997. However, after many years, many items have degraded, and the restoration work has been carried out in a patchwork manner (In the photo: The temple is covered by thickets, and the waiting area has been rebuilt by the people according to a new architecture that is not true to the original). |
 |
The Temple still preserves many precious wooden artifacts, demonstrating the ingenuity and talent of ancient craftsmen. However, despite being hundreds of years old, these artifacts have not been regularly preserved and restored, causing many of them to be moldy or termite-infested. |
 |
The temple is also currently preserving many royal decrees and ancient books in Chinese characters. However, at present, none of the artifacts remain intact, although the temple management has tried to carefully store them in boxes. |
 |
The Temple Management Board said: The biggest wish now is to be supported to digitize all the royal decrees that are still preserved. This also needs to be done soon because in just a few years, all the royal decrees are at risk of being no longer preserved. |
 |
In addition, some of the elaborately embroidered tapestries have also been torn, losing their artistic value. |
 |
Dinh Bat Tuy Temple is also a valuable national historical relic in Hung Trung commune, Hung Nguyen. The temple's three-entrance gate is one of the few remaining in the locality. |
 |
The wooden palanquin is also a valuable artifact, but in humid, cramped conditions it is difficult to keep it intact. Mold distorts the artifact's color. |
 |
Also located in Hung Trung commune, Bui Ngoa pagoda is a provincial historical relic. However, the restoration of the pagoda is currently facing many difficulties, many items are degraded. In front of and inside the pagoda grounds, the local people have repaired it in a patchwork manner with many different designs. Besides, many items are still temporary. |
 |
Sy Market Communal House is also a valuable relic of Dien Chau district. This place used to be a bustling trading place for the people in the region. |
 |
However, this is currently the place where the waste of the traders doing business in Sy Market is collected. |

The stone stele at Trung Can Temple in Nam Trung Commune, Nam Dan District has been broken into ruins. According to current statistics, more than 50% of the total of about 1,400 relics in the province have been damaged and seriously degraded, which is also the main reason why the preservation and maintenance of relics and artifacts is facing many difficulties. |
