At the ceremony, officials, people and tourists had the opportunity to review the history, tradition, merits and career of King Le Thai To.

King Le Thai To, also known as Le Loi, was born on August 6, At Suu year (1385) in Lam Son, Tho Xuan, Thanh Hoa. From a young age, Le Loi showed himself to be intelligent, brave, virtuous, and loved to read books and study strategy.

In 1416, in the Lam Son mountainous region, a major event took place: Le Loi and 18 of his close friends, Nguyen Trai, Le Lai, Nguyen Than, Dinh Le, Nguyen Xi, Tran Nguyen Han, Nguyen Chich... made an oath, cutting their blood and swearing to live and die for the cause of killing enemies to save the country.

On February 7, 1418 (the second day of the Lunar New Year of the Year of the Dog), Le Loi and the entire insurgent army officially raised the flag of uprising. Le Loi proclaimed himself King Binh Dinh and sent orders everywhere to call on the people to rise up and fight the enemy to save the country. Responding to the uprising flag of General Le Loi, the heroes and the peoplepatriotismfrom everywhere came to Lam Son to gather.

In 1424, following Nguyen Chich's plan, Le Loi led his troops into Nghe An. The reputation of Le Loi and his army reached every village and alley. Wherever the army went, the local people came out to welcome them and gave them gifts. At the same time, they encouraged their children to join the army to fight the enemy. The victory of the army in Tra Lan, "split bamboo, flying ash" made the people and soldiers happy, creating momentum for the army to advance to liberate the Nghe An plain.

In February 1425, Le Loi led his troops down to the Nghe An plain, set up his headquarters in the Da Loi area and built a strong defense line on Thien Nhan mountain, called Luc Nien citadel. Here, the insurgents could cover a large area of ​​the Lam river basin and besiege, moving towards liberating Nghe An citadel.

After 10 years of "tasting honey and lying on thorns", our nation's resistance war against the Ming invaders under the leadership of Le Loi came to complete victory. On April 15, Mau Than year (1428), Le Loi officially ascended the throne at Kinh Thien palace, Dong Quan citadel (present-day Hanoi), proclaimed himself King Thuan Thien, named the country Dai Viet, and issued the Proclamation of Victory over the Wu. During his reign as King, Le Thai To laid a solid foundation for an entire dynasty and a prosperous independence of Dai Viet nation.

After 6 years of reigning the country, Le Thai To passed away on August 22, Quy Suu year (1433). To remember the great contributions of King Le and the heroic martyrs, the people of the ancient Trieu Khau area (formerly Hung Thanh commune, nowLam Thanh, Nghe An province) built the temple right on the land where Le Loi and his army achieved the feat of liberating Nghe An citadel.
