Framed Print of The Temple of Literature or Van Mieu is one of Vietnam's foremost cultural treasures
The Temple of Literature or Van Mieu is one of Vietnam's foremost cultural treasures. Founded in 1070 by King Ly Thanh Tong of the Early Ly Dynasty, the temple was originally dedicated both to Confucius and to Chu Cong, a member of the Chinese royal family credited with originating many of the teachings that Confucius developed five hundred years later. The site was selected by Ly Dynasty geomancers to stand in harmony with the Taoist Bich Cau temple and the Buddhist One Pillar Pagoda, representing the three major fonts of Vietnamese tradition.
Six years later, in 1076, the Quoc Tu Giam, or School for the Sons of the Nation, was established at the same location when King Ly Nhan Tong (1072-1127) established Vietnam's first university. The tradition of Confucian education flourished at the Temple of Literature, with the custom of offering a cloak to successful candidates beginning in 1374, whilst in 1484 the first stele bearing the names of doctoral graduates was erected
