Hung Vuong's death anniversary: ​​but whose death is specific?

Obviously, the Hung King's death anniversary is only one day, so which king's death anniversary? This is a question many people still question.

Hung Vuong's death anniversary, also known as Hung Temple festival.

First, we must mention the origin of the Vietnamese people. Legend has it that Kinh Duong Vuong took Long Nu to give birth to Lac Long Quan. Lạc Long Quân then married with Âu Cơ to give birth to Hùng Vương.

Such King Hung Vuong is the grandson of King Kinh Dương, the year used for dozens of kings afterwards. So, according to the logic, the logic must be the Kinh Duong Vuong death anniversary, to commemorate the father who gave birth to the country.

In fact, according to some historical records, the death anniversary dates back to 2,000 years ago . Under Thuc Phan - An Duong Vuong period, stone columns swear to be built on Nghia Linh mountain, clearly stating: "May there be a heavenly land to witness and witness, the South will be kept in a temple in To Hung Vuong temple, please look after forever. Hung's mausoleum and the preservation of Giang Son that Hung Vuong handed over, if lost, it would be winded and hammered.

The death anniversary dates back to 2,000 years ago.

Other kings later also remembered, affirming the role of the era of Hung kings who built Giang Son. That is why every year always leaves a day to remember those who have established and built up the country - the Hung kings in general.

Why is it 10/3?

So is March 10 the death of all Hung kings? Of course it is impossible.

In the past, people did not have to go to the ceremony on March 10, they often chose good days according to the fate of each person and eagerly worshiped Hung kings throughout the year. The most common time falls in the spring-autumn months, not the date.

The worshiping ceremony in the locality is celebrated on the 12th day of the third lunar month combined with the worship of the Earth.

Often when the children and grandchildren from far away will commemorate the anniversary before one day, not the big one on a national scale.

Thus, the time of worship often lasts long and is expensive and does not express the respect and respect of the people.

From then on, every March 10, the people of the whole country went to Phu Tho to honor the merits of Hung kings.

Realizing this, Phu Tho's week , Le Trung Ngoc, in 1917 (Khai Dinh Year 1) has made a submission to the Ministry of Ceremony, asking for the annual lunar calendar of March 10 to be the International Day. .

From then on, every March 10, the people of the whole country turned to the land of Coi source - Hy Cuong, Lam Thao and Phu Tho communes to honor the merits of Hung kings.
