The Temple of Literature (Văn Miếu Quốc Tử Giám)
Renowned as the first national university of Vietnam, the Temple of Literature (commonly called Văn Miếu Quốc Tử Giám in Vietnamese) is not only the typical historical sites in Hanoi capital, but the cultural quintessence of the bygone feudal regime also. For first-time visitors, it could be a pity if it is missed out in must-see list.
Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam has long been recognized as one of the most iconic historical-cultural heritages of Vietnam. Besides being a popular sightseeing destination, it is the place where several poetry communities are organized, the celebration of the Tet Holiday and some academy-related ceremonies takes place in order to express people’s wishes and hopes for their education paths.
Despite the fact that Ha Noi has been developed day in day out to keep pace with the rest of fast-changing world, a myriad of ancient relics and Vietnamese time-honored traditions has still lingered on some corners of the capital. Therefore, it is well-worth considering the building complex as the soul of Vietnamese cultural life and even the gratification of human beings until now.

The Temple of Literature in Hanoi - Vietnam 4K Travel Channel
The Temple of Literature is an oasis of peace, away from the heavy traffic which is ubiquitous in Hanoi. Thánh Tông, the third emperor of the Lý dynasty (Lý Nhật Tôn), built it in 1070 as the first educational institution for the sons of the mandarin and gifted persons.
It was the first academy of the country and the national university which was built to honor Confucius. The educational institution was used until 1915. The temple is based on the temple in Qufu, the birthplace of Confucius.
The complex consists of 5 courtyards, the third courtyard is particularly noteworthy. Laterally, you see massive stone pillars on turtles.
The steles bear the inscriptions (name, place and results of the audit) of the 1307 graduates of the imperial examination. Only 82 out of the original 116 stelae exist today.
In 2010, the stelae were included by UNESCO in the World Documentary Heritage.
With the relocation of the imperial court to Hue, the academy has moved and the university in Hanoi lost to meaning.
The fourth courtyard was used for ceremonies. On its north side is the real Confucius Temple. Here, the people worship Confucius surrounded by his students.
The temple is a national monument of Vietnam.

Der Literaturtempel ist eine Oase der Ruhe abseits des strömenden Verkehrs, der in Hanoi allgegenwärtig ist. Thánh Tông, der dritte Kaiser der Lý-Dynastie (Lý Nhật Tôn) erbaute in 1070 als erste Bildungseinrichtung für die Söhne der Mandarine und Hochbegabte.
Es war die erste Akademie des Landes und die nationale Universität, die im Gedenken an Konfuzius errichtet wurde. Die Bildungseinrichtung wurde bis 1915 betrieben. Der Tempel basiert auf dem Tempel in der Geburtsstadt von Konfuzius Qufu.
Die Anlage besteht aus 5 Innenhöfen, wobei der dritte Innenhof besonders bemerkenswert ist. Seitlich sind mächtige Steinstelen auf Schildkröten errichtet.
Die Stelen tragen die Inschriften (Name, Geburtsort und Ergebnis der Prüfung) der 1307 Absolventen der kaiserlichen Prüfung. Von ursprünglich 116 Stelen sind aber nur noch 82 vorhanden.
Die Stelen wurden 2010 von der UNESCO in das Weltdokumentenerbe aufgenommen.
Mit der Verlegung des Kaiserhofes nach Hue ist auch die Akademie umgezogen und die Universität in Hanoi verlor an Bedeutung.
Der vierte Innenhof diente Zeremonien. An seiner Nordseite liegt der eigentliche Konfuziustempel. Hier wird Konfuzius umrahmt von seinen Schülern verehrt.
Der Tempel stellt das nationale Heiligtum Vietnams dar.

Hanoi, Temple of Literature, Vietnam 28.12.2017
Temple of Literature is one of the most picturesque and favorite places of interest for tourists in Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. It is more an educational institution than a religious place. It is the first national university of Vietnam. It was built in 1070 AD under Ly Thanh Tong’s dynasty to honour Confucius. The building of the temple is well preserved and tucked in a compound wall with five courtyards. The first two courtyards are where scholars would relax amidst the large trees and manicured lawns. The third courtyard hosts the Thien Quang well, with two large halls on either side that house the treasured Stelae of Doctors. The Stelae are turtle statues, carved out of blue stone, that have the names and birthplaces of all 1307 graduates from 82 separate Royal examinations. The fourth courtyard contains altars to Confucius and his disciples. The fifth courtyard is where the actual academy existed. There are several exhibits here with statues of beloved figures in Vietnamese history and displays of old uniforms used by the then students. No visit to Hanoi is complete without a visit to the Temple of Literature.

Temple Of Literature (Văn Miếu)
*TEMPLE OF LITERATURE (VAN MIEU)*
While visiting Hanoi, one of the places that should not be missed is the Temple of Literature. Located about 2km west of Hoan Kiem Lake, the Temple is a rare example of well-preserved traditional Vietnamese architecture and incidentally, it is also featured on the back of the 100,000 Dong bank note.
Founded in 1070 by Emperor Ly Thanh Tong, this inspirational temple is based on the teachings of Confucius and was the first Vietnamese university that has educated many great minds over a 700-year period.
Initially entrance was only granted to those of noble birth, but after 1442 a more egalitarian approach was adopted and gifted students from all over the nation headed to Hanoi to study the principles of Confucianism, literature and poetry.
The various pavilions, halls, statues and stelae of doctors are places where offering ceremonies, study sessions and the strict exams of the Dai Viet took place. Today, 82 of these pillars still stand.
Before entering the main gateway, take note of the curious plaque, which inscription requests that visitors dismount their horses before entering.
While inside, enjoy strolling among one of 5 beautiful and serene courtyards or the formal gardens of the Khue Van pavilion.
One area that may peek your interest is the large square pond located past the pavilion, which is called the Well of Heavenly Clarity. The name alone is most enticing.
On the northern side is a low-slung pagoda housing an extraordinary statue of a very majestic-looking Confucius, depicted with a goatee and wearing scarlet robes.
When visiting any temple, please remember to dress respectfully.

_Address: 58 Quoc Tu Giam Street, Dong Da District, Hanoi _

The very first stop-over of any foreign tourist in Hanoi is always Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam (translated as Temple of Literature), which reveals the Hanoians' spirit of study in the past!
Situated at the south of Thang Long citadel, is on top of the historical and beautiful sightseeings of the beautiful capital of Vietnam. Please follow us in a brief tour of exploring his beauty and deep values;
Historical meaning
Tourists, particularly the foreign ones, now flock to the site for taking a look into its profound traditional meanings of both a Confucion temple and the first university of Vietnam. Văn Miếu or Temple of Literature, known as pagode des Corbeaux during the period of French colonisation, was founded as a Confucian temple in 1070.
Only parts of the Văn Miếu complex date back to the earliest period, although much of the architecture dates to the Ly (1010 -- 1225) and Tran (1225 -- 1400) Dynasties. In 1076, Vietnam's first university, the Quốc Tử Giám (or National University), was established within this temple to educate Vietnam's mandarin class. The university functioned for more than 700 years, from 1076 to 1779, during which, 2,313 doctors graduated. Hence, the complex has been attached to the name of Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam up to now.
A beauty-spot of architectural values
This ancient Confucian sanctuary is now considered one of Hanoi's finest historical and cultural sites. The ever special architetural style of Van Mieu dates back to the 11th century, evoking an inspiration of classical creativeness of many of us, one of my tourists remarked. Just take a look into the art of architecture, you will share the feeling! The temple is based on Confucius' birthplace at Qufu in the Chinese province of Shandong. It consists of five courtyards lined out in order, entrance to the first, via the impressive twin-tiered Van Mieu gate leads to three pathways that run through the length of the complex. The centre path was reserved for the King only, the one to its left for administrative Mandarins and the one to its right for military Mandarins.
The first two courtyards are peaceful havens of ancient trees and well-trimmed lawns where the scholars could relax away from the bustle of the city outside the thick stone walls. Entrance to the third courtyard is through the dominating Khue Van Cac (constellation of literature), a large pavilion built in 1802. Central to the this courtyard is the Thien Quang Tinh (Well Of Heavenly Clarity), either side of which stand two great halls which house the true treasures of the temple. These are 82 stone steles. Another 34 are believed to have been lost over the years. They sit upon stone tortoises and are inscribed with the names and birth places of 1306 men who were awarded doctorates from the triennial examinations held here at the Quoc Tu Giam (National University) between 1484 and 1780, when the capital was moved to Hue.
The fourth courtyard is bordered on either side by great pavilions which once contained altersl of 72 of Confucius greatest students but which now contain offices, a gift shop and a small museum which contains ink wells, pens, books and personal artifacts belonging to some of the students that have studied here through the years. At the far end of the courtyard is the altar with statues of Confucius and his four closest disciples. The fifth courtyard contained the Quoc Tu Giam, Vietnam's first university founded in 1076 King Ly Can Duc, but this was destroyed by French bombing in 1947.
Though having gone through lots of restoration work, the temple still retains its very first original shape, to be one of the visit-worthy sightseeings of Hanoi, captivating to a huge number of tourists elsewhere.
A space of peace, green trees and solemnity covers the whole temple of historical and traditional love for study, making tourists feel like they were lost in a land of Confucion and traditional values. If you are in Hanoi, you should really come and explore it yourself!
