Looking at the brutal people, I hate them to the core.

The patriarch of many generations, worthy of a famous family. The power throughout the region, worthy of a great clan.

Respecting the wise, guests gathered to discuss literature. Admiring the heroes, warriors came to practice their spears and swords.

High virtue and prestige, grace and power spread throughout the east and west. Great righteousness and steadfast will, courage shine bright across the north and south! When:

The end of Emperor Xuan's reign was chaotic.

Doc Co Ton was confused and scared.

Thousands of years of resentment, the waves rose and swept away the foreign invaders. The three armies joined forces, the fire burned down the lackeys in the country. Waving the flag of Righteousness - occupying La Thanh.

Swinging the Treasured Sword - determined to gain Independence, claiming to be the master of the country

The Song of the First Lord, the feudal life, national pride

Father, internal affairs: consider leniency - simplicity - peace - happiness as the top priority.

Son, diplomacy: take gentleness - wisdom - victory - firmness as the foundation. Strengthen the government:

set up prefecture, road, district, commune, ward...

simple and tolerant land reform:

tax, lock, household, army, salary... Slow and steady wins the race

Soft straps tie tightly! Therefore:

Orphans escape poverty, widows escape hardship

Inside and outside the city, melodious singing sounds. At the end of the sea and upstream, the moonlight shimmers. Every house plows and grows crops in prosperity.

Everywhere is peaceful and happy, the country is peaceful.

Beautiful country!

The Song of the Fairy Godmother - opening her arms to open the foundation of independence for the South

Khuc Thua Gia - passed down for three generations. Eradicated the yoke of foreign invasion from the North. Although not an emperor, Father kept the power to unify the country.

Although not the emperor, I truly rule the country! A heroic man, governing the country and saving the world, leaving his name on the mountains and rivers. A heroic woman, mother of the world, her name is known in heaven and earth! A thousand years of history books shine brightly.

The moon and stars are always bright! Therefore:

History forever engraved

People forever admire Cuc Bo for building a local sacred temple to replace the old temple.

Through four autumns, so much rain and sunshine, so much hardship. Fifty months, what to mention the hardships of day and night! The temple stands tall, the mountain behind, the river in front.

Majestic form, dragon claws, tiger claws, water-reflecting relief of Erhu

Four-pillar cloud-rolled roof

Green stone steps, symbol of the emperor. Patterned pedestal, meaning nine-five!

One bell, please send to the ancients. Three drum beats, please echo into eternity!

So dare to ask:

The infinitely holy One, the ocean of understanding, the Song of the Immortals, the compassionate Lord, protects with a broad heart:

favorable weather

To leave the remote hamlet deep in the countryside, the fields and gardens fertile all year round. A thousand years ago, our ancestors worked hard to lay the foundation, to lay the foundation. For generations to come, our descendants will wholeheartedly build the citadel and build the pillars.

Integrate and exchange with five continents, compete and compete with four seas.

Vow to preserve the traditions of our ancestors and always remember the merits of our ancestors.

The Eastern land has a common spirit, the Vietnamese land has a beautiful landscape.

THE STORY OF THE TURTLE APPEARING AT THE CEREMONY OF THE STATUES OF KHUC THUA DU - KHUC HAO - KHUC THUA MY AT CUC BO ON JULY 21, THE YEAR OF THE RAT (2008)

Mr. Bui Van Nam, the person who brought the strange turtle to the Khuc Thua Du Temple, said:

That afternoon, I went to visit the fishing area at "Cong Nhang" in front of the Temple (the section of the Luoc River connecting the Red River and the Thai Binh River). I saw something swimming around the fishing bag, it looked like a turtle. I waded down to stop the fishing bag and then went back to catch it with a net. When I pulled it up and looked closely, it was not a turtle but a turtle, so he brought the turtle back to the Temple.

That night, during the ceremony, the turtle was released into a large basin, under clear water. Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, the turtle still swam normally. Seeing the gong, many video cameras and cameras did not leave their lenses. Looking at the enlarged 50x75 photo, the turtle had something very strange, different from the usual turtle: the whole body was yellow, the ears were red, the back was dark blue, mixed with faint yellow stripes. On the shell, separated by the border and the back, nestled in the first fin, appeared a portrait of a person: including the face, collar, chest, head wearing a wide-brimmed hat, on the top of the hat on the forehead was the "Shine" part. The face was plump, the forehead was high, below were the eyes, nose, mouth and cheekbones. Below the face, the part next to the spine was a closed collar, with a border, then spread out to the two shoulders covering the chest, like a faint yellow, faint blue shirt.

The second image next to it is of a woman, standing sideways, with a round face, her hair tied back, wearing a long, loose dress. The dress has two parallel yellow stripes from the neck down to the feet, revealing her feet like square-toed shoes.

The portrait on the turtle's shell resembles the statue of Princess Khuc Tien currently worshiped in the palace. Princess Khuc Tien wears a "Xung Thien" hat. On top of the hat are two dragons facing the moon. This part of the photo "shines". Her face is plump and kind, her collar, chest, and shoulders are very well-proportioned.

Far away is a portrait of a woman standing. It could be the portrait of Princess Khuc Thi Ngoc - the younger sister of Lord Trung Khuc Hao. She contributed to helping her father and brother build and expand the country. When she "transformed", she was loved and revered by the people as "Saint Mother Quynh Hoa". According to researcher Hoang Tuan Pho: She was the daughter of Khuc Tinh Quan and Princess Quynh Cung in the Upper World, reincarnated to the human world as the daughter of Mr. Khuc Thua Du to "Encourage good and eliminate evil".

Appendix 3

The Dragon Bamboo Tree at Cuc Bo Temple

Cuc Bo village has been famous for its communal house making since the post-Le dynasty. Here, the communal house makers also know how to carve wood. The carvings are part of the structure of the temple's "Vi". There are also separate carvings such as: the gate, the mai rim, the incense table, the throne, the bowl... Common motifs are: Long coiling water, Truc hoa long, Ngu dieu quan mai... The "Truc hoa long" tree carved by Mr. Bui Van Nhue, which is still in Cuc Bo temple, is a precious work.

The work was entered into the 1938 exhibition in Hanoi. After the competition, the French colonialists took away one tree. In 1940, Mr. Doan Van Phuong - Mr. Nhue's student, carved the second tree to complete the set. In 1978, the second tree was stolen. In 1992, Mr. Nguyen Van Xuong carved the third tree. This tree was entered into the 1995 exhibition at Hai Duong Exhibition House. Mr. Bui Van Nhue's work with the theme "Bamboo turns into a dragon" is 1.10m high, 0.30m wide, 0.18m deep and is composed of two parts "Yin - Yang". The trunk grows vertically with five floors. Looking from the front, the left and right sides are symmetrical, but the left side has smaller joints. The term for carving is "Thu hung" (meaning brothers), the tree base leans to the left. The dragon's head turns into a "stubborn bamboo tree". The parts "eyes, nose, whiskers, fins, scales..." have turned into uneven, rough, angular branches and roots with a natural, majestic, and lively appearance. Behind are tall and short bamboo shoots standing together in clumps. The short bamboo tree has a rough appearance, short and sturdy joints, next to the children and grandchildren of different generations gathered together, deeply implying the "father-son" and "old bamboo, new bamboo" tolerance. The fins, scales

transforms into a bunch of "sacrificial" leaves to protect the tree, prevent monotony, and reveal the traditional beauty of "Raising children to prevent old age".

Second floor: The tree bends spontaneously, the joints are short, the joints are large, rough, and have some parts that shrink and then suddenly grow. The tree still has enough branches and leaves, some small branches curl up and spiral. The leaves "Nghinh phong" appear very real to nature. The character of a gentleman: resilient, steadfast, courageous is also discreetly revealed.

Third floor: The branches and leaves gather together to form a curved support to support the water basin for the person chanting the "cleansing" ritual. The leaves are longer, more numerous, softer, the stems are small but strong as if they want to "work together" to carry the burden.

Fourth floor: A tree branch stretches out, a phoenix perches on it, its mouth holding a strip of string with a red scarf, its gentle appearance, its relaxed posture implies the meaning of "dedication".

Fifth floor: Above the top is the growing bamboo shoot, its posture is high, the tip is slightly drooping and facing the base. That is the "Hoi dau" branch facing the "roots and origins", the "nghinh phong" leaf cluster turns in many directions as if wanting to resist the wind and frost. The connection between the two parts "Yin - Yang" is the "Thach chung" block and the tree trunk is very reasonable. The tree trunk grows moderately from the solid "Thach chung" block. The dragon head is slightly high, tilted 35cm from the ground, looking funny, the body is soft, flexible and bends in the air. Two mice crawl out of the cave. The one in front has its head raised high, its body slightly bent, probably having passed the moment of surprise. The one behind has its head tilted and looks around, the other half is in the cave with a fearful look... creating a natural and lively scene.

With a rich imagination combined with skillful hands, Mr. Bui Van Nhue created a wonderful "Bamboo turns into a dragon" carving. Viewers are satisfied because of the balanced and reasonable composition, the vivid and natural carvings. The author skillfully uses the outside to express the deep inside. Using the concrete to suggest the abstract, using the real to suggest the virtual... All of these show the nature of the Vietnamese people, tolerant, generous, compassionate, upright, loyal, courageous, resilient, and steadfast.

THE LEGEND OF BANH KHUC

A year of great drought, months without rain, rivers dried up, plants and grass withered, cattle and buffalo had nothing to eat, became skinny and bony. People had to pick leaves to eat for meals.

In Cuc Thi village, there was a widow with two small children. She was so hungry that she had to go pick sweet potatoes to cook porridge, but it was still not enough to satisfy her hunger. When the sweet potatoes ran out, she had to pick some vegetables and boil them. At mealtime, the mother and her three children had enough to eat...

One time, the mother saw a strange vegetable mixed in with the bowl of vegetables and was shocked and terrified. She was in such a hurry that she didn't notice it while washing the vegetables. She was very scared, certain that this time eating poisonous vegetables would kill the whole family.

But waiting for a long time, nothing happened. Actually, that vegetable is cool to eat, has a pungent and fragrant smell. The leaves are silvery, growing a lot at the foot of the village chief's rice fields.

Shortly after, it rained, the rivers were full of water, the plants revived, there were many fish and shrimp, and vegetables grew well again. The widow's family escaped death.

Hearing the news, the chieftain Khuc Thua Du sent someone to call the widow and her children to work as servants to help with the farming.

One day, Mrs. Khuc went out to the gate to play, waiting for Mr. Khuc to return from Nam Son Ha. Suddenly, she saw a woman carrying a basket of wild grass on her head. She asked:

- What is that thing you have at home?

- Ma'am, these are wild vegetables I picked in the field...

- Why pick it up? It's just making the house crowded.

- No, we can eat it. This vegetable is edible. My son ate it, it was very refreshing. Without it, my family would have starved to death last year.

Hearing the strange story, Mrs. Khuc said:

- Really, show me!?

Khuc Ba vaguely recognized this type of grass growing on the edge of rice fields. It reproduces in winter, develops by absorbing cold dew, and its leaves have a silvery sheen. This vegetable resembles mugwort, probably belonging to the mugwort family, and is useful for humans.
