second is with Khue Van Pavilion. The pavilion symbol is used on all street signs of Ha Noi. The third
courtyard is the place where doctorate names were listed on the stone tablets above tortoise backs. The fourth
courtyard is dedicated for Confucius and his 72 honoured students, as well as Chu Van An - one of the most
