Precinct of Trieu Viet Vuong temple, Da Trach commune (Khái Chau)

According to historical documents, the famous man Trieu Viet Vuong's name is Trieu Quang Phuc, he was born into a family of many generations of leaders, his father was Deputy Thai Trieu Tuc, from Chu Dien district (present-day Khoai Chau district). He was a majestic man, good at martial arts, and from early on, he and his father followed Ly Nam De (Ly Bi) in an uprising, overthrew the colonial government of the Luong dynasty, won independence, and established the Van Xuan kingdom in 544. King Trieu Viet was crowned king. granted the position of Left General. In 545, the Luong dynasty continued to mobilize great troops, sending talented general Tran Ba Tien to launch an attack to invade Van Xuan. The resistance war against the invading Liang army this time was a war lasting 5 years (545 - 550) and divided into two phases: The first phase (545 - 546) was commanded by Ly Nam De; The following period (547 - 550) was commanded by Trieu Quang Phuc.

Trieu Quang Phuc implemented a long-term strategy of fighting the enemy right in the middle of the plains using guerrilla warfare, consuming the enemy's vitality while still preserving his forces. He established a base at Da Trach lagoon. This is a land of dense reeds, luxuriant grass and trees, in the middle there is high habitable ground, all four sides are muddy, making it difficult for people and horses to walk, so they can only use light dugout canoes. During the day, smoke and fire and human traces were not revealed. At night, they used dugout canoes to bring troops to attack Tran Ba Tien's camp, killing and capturing many soldiers, taking food, and planning to hold out for a long time. Not only that, he also organized the people of Da Trach area and the insurgent army to grow rice, getting food from this land. After 4 years of fighting (547 - 550), our army fought harder and harder, and the enemy army became weaker and weaker. In 548, Ly Nam De died, the generals honored Trieu Quang Phuc to replace Ly Nam De, but he only proclaimed himself King, taking the title Trieu Viet Vuong. Then, taking advantage of the opportunity to organize a series of major attacks on the enemy army, the Luong army collapsed. King Trieu Viet was stationed in Long Bien citadel, continuing the career of the Ancestor Ly dynasty until 571.

Recognizing the merits and contributions of King Trieu Viet, the people in the area established a temple. In 2018, Khoai Chau district together with local people built a new temple on the damaged old temple foundation. The temple dedicated to Trieu Viet Vuong was completed with an area of over 13,700 square meters including the following items: Ritual gate, screen, main temple, left and right vu houses and auxiliary works. The entire building is made of ironwood, with a tiled roof combined with specific decorative patterns. The architecture is designed synchronously, in harmony with the space and landscape of the villages in the Northern Delta. The temple is a place for spiritual and cultural activities of the people in the area and is an educational address for patriotic traditions and national pride for future generations.
