Announcement Ceremony at Nguyen Xi's tomb

Nguyen Xi Temple is the place to worship Grand Tutor Cuong Quoc Cong Nguyen Xi - the founding hero of the Later Le Dynasty, who had great contributions to the Binh Ngo campaign of King Le Thai To and also had great contributions in abolishing Nghi Dan, bringing Le Thanh Tong to the throne, opening the golden age of the Vietnamese feudal regime. Nguyen Xi was not only a general with great contributions to the national liberation movement but also had great contributions to the construction and development of the country in the early Le Dynasty. Nguyen Xi was a great minister serving four kings: Le Thai To, Le Thai Tong, Le Nhan Tong, Le Thanh Tong, and was the regent for two kings: Le Thai Tong and Le Nhan Tong. For Nguyen Xi, supporting the King was supporting the people and the country.

The 2013 Nguyen Xi Temple Festival took place over three days, March 10-12. In addition to the traditional ceremony, including the opening ceremony, the procession, the proclamation ceremony, and the thanksgiving ceremony, there was also a festival with a rich and diverse range of cultural exchange activities, tug-of-war competitions, games of returning home to pay homage to ancestors, playing cards, volleyball competitions between strong teams in Nghi Loc district, and a photo exhibition "The Communist Party of Vietnam's journey through two centuries".
