Temple of Literature

Located in Dong Da district of Ha noi, Temple of literature is the  t school in Vietnam. It has been famous as a symbol of Ha Noi and Vietnam for a long time. It is also known as Vietnam's first university. The idea of building the temple came from the reign of  King Ly Thanh Tong in 1076 . The university functioned for more than 700 years. At first, its purpose  was to educate Vietnam's talented learners, royal members and other members of the upper class. Traditionally, any learners  passing the extremely difficult  doctor of literature tests would be written on the series of stone in the temple. But  few students passed final examinations because they were very very hard. The list of names  during this period was very small. Nowadays, after a lot of changes and conservations, temple of Literature has its new look. And thanks to people’s awareness, the temple is still  a center for writers and artists  to meet and share their interest. It also attracts many tourists not only in the country but also from foreign countries.
