When I was small, I went to the Temple of Literature – the Imperial Academy. But I can’t remember now. I only know the Temple of Literature – the Imperial Academy is considered the first university in VN. It very famous so many tourist visit there. It is located in the centre of Ha Noi. The Temple of Literature was founded in 1070. Ly Nhan Tong decided to build the Imperial Academy in 1076. In 1483 the Imperial Academy was renamed Thai Hoc Vien. The university was a great success and many Vietnamese scholars gradute from this university. Chu van An is considered one of the most famous teachers there. It is also famous for 82 Doctors’ stone tablets. The Doctors’ stone tablets were first erected by King Le Thanh Tong in 1484. And in 2010, the 82 Doctors’ stone tablets were recognised by UNESCO. The four statues( Ly Thanh Tong, Ly Nhan Tong, Le Thanh Tong and Chu Van An) were built by Ha Noi people. They are the founders and the developers of the Temple of Literature – the Imperial Academy.
I want to visit there again in the future. Thanks for listening!
