The Temple of Literature was built in 1070 under the reign of Emperor Ly Thanh Tong to
honor Confucius and was later used as a royal school, where Emperor Ly Nhan Tong studied
when he was a five-year-old prince.
The Imperial Academy, which can be considered Vietnam’s first university, was built in 1076
next to the temple. Over the next seven centuries and more, the university produced thousands
of scholars for the country. Under the reign of Emperor Tran Minh Tong (1314-1329), the
teacher Chu Van An, was appointed the school’s principal. After his death in 1370, Emperor
Tran Nghe Tong (1321 - 1394) had him worshiped beside Confucius at the Temple of
Literature. Many schools in Vietnam are also named after Chu Ban An.
In 1946, the Imperial Academy in Hanoi was destroyed by French bombing, but gradually
restored later.
To enter the main area of the Temple of Literature, visitors must go through three gates. The
first gate is called Van Mieu Mon; the second is called Dai Trung Mon and the third, Dai
Thanh Mon.
In the space between Dai Trung Mon and Dai Thanh Mon is the one-storey, two-roof pavilion
called Khue Van Cac. Behind Khue Van Cac is the Thien Quang Tinh (Well of Heavenly
Clarity), on either side of which 41 Doctors’ stone tablets stand in two rows. They stand upon
stone turtles with the names and birthplaces of successful doctoral candidates from the
examinations held at the Imperial Academy from 1484 to 1780.
Now as a major tourist site, the Temple of Literature - Imperial Academy also hosts award
ceremonies to recognize outstanding students. An annual poetry festival is held here on the
15th of the first lunar month.
