đ Hung Kings' Temple Festival in Vietnam seeks UNESCO recognition as an intangible world cultural heritage. Let's get information about this Festival! đ ______________________________________
âWhen is the Hung Kings' Temple Festival? The HĂčng Kings' Temple Festival (Vietnamese: Giá» Tá» HĂčng VÆ°ÆĄng or lá» há»i Äá»n HĂčng) is held each year from the 8th to the 11th days of the third lunar month in honour of the HĂčng Kings and their role in shaping the nation.
The main festival day is observed on the 10th day of the month and since 2007 this has been a national holiday in Vietnam since 2000.
âHistory of the Hung Kings' Temple Festival The official name of the festival is 'Death Anniversary of the Hung Kings'. However the date does not mark the death of any specific Hung King but honours their contribution to Vietnam as the traditional founders of the nation and the first emperors.
The first HĂčng king was Kinh DÆ°ÆĄng VÆ°ÆĄng, who came to power in 2879 BC. He ruled an area covering what is now North Vietnam and part of southern China. The area was called VÄn Lang and is regarded as the first nation of the Vietnamese people. DÆ°ÆĄng VÆ°ÆĄng founded the Há»ng BĂ ng Dynasty, whose descendants ruled Vietnam until 258 BC.
Ruling over Vietnam for 18 generations, the Hung Kings taught locals how to grow wet rice. They chose Nghia Linh Mountain, the highest in the region, to perform rituals devoted to rice and sun deities to pray for good harvests.
âHow is Hung Kings Temple Festival celebrated? Each year offerings are held simultaneously at over 1,400 Hung Kings temples across Vietnam. The key ceremony takes place at the Hung Temple on Nghia Linh Mountain in Phu Tho Province, some 85km northwest of Hanoi.
Over five million visitors will travel to the province to see the festivities. A procession starts at the foot of the mountain and stops at every temple on the ascent before pilgrims offer prayers and incense to the Hung Kings when they reach the Hung Temple.
