About the place

How later ages remembered

According to the heritage listing file — a secondary source, not a historical document — the temple in Ha Loi hamlet, Me Linh, holds its main festival on the sixth day of the first lunar month, recorded as the day the Trung sisters held a feast to reward their troops. Of the festival days at the three main places of worship, this is the only one tied to the time when the sisters still ruled, and that day comes to us from the heritage file. The temple honours both the sisters' parents and the parents of Thi Sach, while the histories record only that her father was a Lac general of Me Linh district, with no name.12
