Life
The old chronicles say
Later generations did not remember Queen Trung's three years through records but through temples, and this is there in the national history itself. The Complete Annals record that after the Han army went home, the people of the region loved Queen Trung and built a temple to worship her. In 1160, in the reign of Ly Anh Tong, the same history records that the Ly court built a temple to the Trung sisters in Bo Cai ward.21
