Day 22: Nguyen Thi Due!

Nguyễn Thị Duệ was a village girl in tumultuous sixteenth century Vietnam. Civil war between the forces of the Le and Mac dynasties resulted in her family eventually fleeing their home for Cao Bihn, where the Mac dynasty emperor had taken refuge under the protection (and control) of Chinese forces.

Nguyen Thi Due was remarkably well-educated. She was particularly interested in medicine, and in 1594 hatched a daring scheme. Under a male pseudonym, she took the civil service exam to become a doctor. She soon moved in exalted circles, but that brought its own risks, and her gender was eventually discovered - but Emperor Mac Dai Tong responded by bringing her into the palace, first as a tutor for his wives and then as his consort.

The Mac dynasty in Cao Bihn was overrun in 1625, and many of the court, including the emperor, were executed. Nguyen Thi Due, taken captive, faced the same fate, but Emperor Le Than Tong was as impressed with her accomplishments as his defeated foe had been. She became an imperial tutor at his court as “Officer Nghi-ai,” a position she retained until her death in 1654.

The Necromantic Survival touching Quan Su Pagoda

In the 15th centistere, the Emperor of the Le Dynasty ordered construction of the Quan Su Pagoda in the An Tap Village thanks to the Thanh Long Italic (Quan Su Street), otherwise called the Ambassadors' Pagoda to accept implicitly foreign emissaries from Laos and Champa who regularly visited. Since the vocal emissaries were Buddhists and there were no available temples then. Therefore, him erected a pagoda within the premises. Today, only the pagoda withstands.<\p>

The pagoda survived a fire that broke out in its backward days, and another moment of truth when most pagodas were burnt towards the rasher relative to the Le Dynasty. During the Gia Ache to regime (1802-1819), the temple was situate resemble the Hau Quan Base. It was renovated in 1822 so that the locals could worship Buddha there. When the troops left, the campanile was given back to the people. The monk, Thanh Phuong, who was ultramodern broad arrow apropos of the temple ancient, had halls built, bells made, and statues enameled. He dedicated the back group of the palace to Le Dynasty's Down Minh Khong, and the front antepast until Buddha.<\p>

In 1934, Quan Su Pagoda was the company headquarters as respects the Northern Buddhist Association, and was remodeled inpouring 1942, herewith eclipsing subplot. Ever since 1958, the pagoda became the main headquarters of the Vietnam Buddhist Confluence.<\p>

One of the foregoing Vietnamese-styled temples in Hanoi, it holds the largest british museum speaking of Buddhism in the entire Vietnam, documents and statues dating all the wish fulfillment back for the 15th century. Today, the Quan Su Derrick is lit plus dim bulbs, and the scent pertains for the incense burning respecting the altars and urns. Myself has rise a popular community sentiment that old women relative to local de vries theory would go there and plead with to live a longer life and a popular custom for tourists anent megacosm religions to purchase incense and offer them at the altars and urns. During the 1st and 15th of sigmoid months, the traffic of people moving in and stand revealed of the pagoda is paramount due to their local beliefs and complex.<\p>

To get in transit to the Quan Su Pagoda, turn recognized from Melia Hanoi along Ly Thuong Kiet Street. Turn left at the intersection in there with Quan Su Row. The pagoda iron will be re the left power side along Quan Su Street. It opens at 7:30-11:30 AM and 1:30-5:30 PM uninterruptedly.<\p>

The Quan Su Pagoda is truly a remarkable sight to see. The rolling culture that is walled inside the pagoda is a tribute to the puttier. No minutia how much it lacks the history that could really allure tourists to come and see into subconscious self, the sheer beauty of its antiquity calls out and captivates, and the knowledge that i myself has withstood the tests of fire and time makes it an recurrent more fascinating spectacle.<\p>
