About the place

How later ages remembered

According to the official website of a state cultural agency — a secondary source, not a historical document — the group of temple, pagoda and communal hall at Dong Nhan, in Hanoi, is one of the three main places where the Trung sisters are worshipped today, and holds its festival on the sixth day of the second lunar month, recorded as the day the sisters passed away. In 1920 the Viet Nam su luoc also noted that at Hat Mon village and on the Dong Nhan flats a festival is held on the sixth day of the second month. At Hat Mon, though, the heritage file today gives the festival as the sixth day of the third month.123
