| Description: |
Located to the south of the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long,
Temple of Literature was founded in 1070, almost 1000 years ago,
by Emperor Ly Thanh Tong as a temple to worship the Chinese
philosopher Confucius. In 1076, his son established the Imperial Academy as a royal school for only members of the elite such as princes, nobles, and bureaucrats. The Imperial Academy, which was considered as the first university in Vietnam, opened for about 700 years and educated hundreds of well-known scholars and mandarins. Despite continuous wars and disasters, the Temple of Literature remained its precious architectural and cultural value. Covering an area of over 54000 square meters, Temple of Literature, which is surrounded by an ancient brick wall, consists of five courtyards in different styles. |
