It is believed that this sculpture brings bad luck to visitors, so no one wants to get close, even many people refuse to walk across the bridge. So what makes this stone lion so scary? How true is this fantasy story? The stone lion on Duan Hongqiao Bridge Even when viewed with the naked eye, people can also feel the difference of the 4th lion on the bridge.

According to historical records, the special stone lion on Doan Hong Kieu Bridge is related to King Thanh Tuyen Tong (1782 – 1850), the era of Dao Quang, the 8th emperor of the Qing dynasty. King Dao Quang had a very smart son, Prince Dich Vi, although Thanh Tuyen Tong put a lot of expectations on his son, Prince Dich Vi, who loved freedom, was not subject to discipline, so he clearly showed it. stubbornness. When the school teacher advised the prince to read hard to become a wise king in the future, Prince Yi Wei defiantly said: “When I become emperor, I will execute you first!” Dich Vi’s insolent words soon reached the emperor’s ears, making Thanh Tuyen Tong extremely angry, the king was not dead, but I wanted to become emperor, I also wanted to kill you!

Legend has it that not long after, the king passed by Duan Hongqiao bridge, saw a stone lion on the bridge with a tragic posture identical to that of Prince Dich Wei before his death. red on the stone lion so that no one can see it again. Expert explanation The authenticity of the story of Dao Quang Emperor seeing a stone lion has never been confirmed, however, experts have also made their own comments about the strange posture of the stone lion on Duan Hongqiao Bridge.

For the common man or the craftsman, the lion is a strange animal. The stone lion statues born from the hand-crafted hands of folk artists are also very subjective and creative, mainly combining the characteristics of cats, tigers and other animals, so there are no stone lion statues. the majesty and majesty of lions in reality. The legend of the stone lion has helped the Forbidden City attract many tourists. Photo: Sohu. The construction of Doan Hong Kieu bridge itself has not been able to determine the construction time. According to China News, the bridge may have appeared before the Ming Dynasty and was built during the Yuan Dynasty. Stone carving expert Luu Ve Dong said: “The stone carvings under the Nguyen Dynasty are very vivid, the stone lions of this period have a large head and small waist, so the sitting posture resembles a frog.” After Confucianism flourished under the Ming Dynasty, creativity waned significantly, the new lion gradually took on the unified shape of a majestic, fierce and tame posture as commonly seen today. At this time, the unique and unconventional sculptures from the previous period easily became the inspiration for thrilling stories handed down in folklore.

But what is surprising is that such a huge mass of emperors’ tombs have never been found, they seem to have disappeared into thin air. “Starting the cup” – where this mysterious valley is located, is still a mystery to this day. This problem has been troubling archaeologists around the world for over 600 years since the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, countless people have searched for the exact location of the “Kaijia Valley”. Of course, after many years of exploration, it is not without results, for example, the true location of “Starting Cup” now has some clues. Currently, in the world, there are two most valuable historical documents for studying the Mongol Empire, one is the “Yuanshi” compiled during the Ming dynasty, and the other is the “History” of Iran. However, many people have never heard of the book “History”. This book was compiled by the Prime Minister of the Yer Khanate (also known as the Yili Khanate or the Yi Er Khanate, one of the four khanates of the Mongol Empire founded in Persia in the 13th century, considered to was part of the Mongol empire that covered almost half of Central Asia). After the Mongol cavalry conquered all of Central Asia, they brought with them the secret skills unique to the Central Highlands. The book “History” was written in this context, so it belongs to the mainstream history books and its contents are quite reliable. In the “History”, it is clearly indicated the location of the “Beginner Cup” – Burkhan Khaldun Mongolian Mountains. Not only that, the “History” also lists in detail all the rivers near the mountain, which is an important basis for scholars to discover the specific location of the “Burkhan Khaldun mountain range”. In “History”, it is mentioned that the east side of the mountain is the Onon River, the northwest is “Cable Lat Hop”, the southwest is “Tula”, the south central part of the mountain is “Kep Luc Lien”, Names of rivers in Mongolian. Based on the direction of these rivers, foreign experts have finally determined the true location of the “Starting Cup” – the Great Kent mountain in present-day Mongolia. In addition, the search for the tombs of the Yuan Dynasty is not only studied by the archaeological community in China, it is also a major topic worldwide, and there are many leading scholars inside and outside China. National research on this issue. According to the “History” record, Genghis Khan and his successors were buried here, noting that the successors included not only Yuan emperors but also many the great khan of the four great Mongol khanates of more than half of the globe. Now everyone knows why archaeologists all over the world are interested in this issue. With the vast territory of the Mongol Empire, the treasures of the different races of the world in the “Starting Cup” could be piled up like mountains. If this place is found and excavated, its value will even exceed the excavation of all the tombs of the Pharaohs in Egypt. Of course, the “Beginner Cup” which is the “Mongolian Kent Mountains” above is just one of many statements, mainly attributed to many scholars around the world. Another group of scholars believe that “Starting the Cup” is near Ordos – China (a city of Inner Mongolia). This view has two bases: First, the “Eight White Houses” Genghis Khan of Ordos. The “Bai White House” is now the “Tomb of Genghis Khan” in Inner Mongolia, about 40 kilometers from the Ordos urban area, which is not only a famous 5A grade tourist attraction, but also the most important place for tourists. with people of all ethnicities in Mongolia to worship Genghis Khan. Scholars suggest that Genghis Khan’s actual burial place is probably not too far from the “Bai White House”, as the camel hair associated with Genghis Khan’s last breath is here, and the “breath” is here. last” means “soul” of the Great Khan, and the burial place of course would not be too far away. Second: Genghis Khan died midway through his conquest of the Western Summer, if the body were transported to the present “Great Kent Mountains” the journey would be too long. According to various historical records, Genghis Khan died in Lingzhou, Western Xia, now in Ningwu County, Ningxia, China. “The Secret History of Mongolia”: “In the Year of the Pig, Genghis Khan ascended to heaven after capturing the city of Duo Bon Mien Can.” “History”: “In the Year of the Pig, Han (Genghis Khan) entered Luc Ban Mountain, died on August 15. “History of the Yuan Dynasty”: “Thai To besieged Tay Ha for 22 years, in May leaped away from the summer heat in Luc Ban Mountain, descended to Tay Ha in June, and collapsed in the Thich Do Palace in Ta Ly Xuyen. in August, and was buried in the Khoi Lian Valley.” There is no doubt about the death of Genghis Khan in Lingzhou, Western Xia. So the question is, scholars have pointed out, if the Mongol court at that time would have brought Genghis Khan’s body back to the “Great Kent” mountains? If the road is so far, how should Genghis Khan’s body be preserved? These two questions are very good. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that Genghis Khan’s body was buried in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. In addition to the above two main theories, there are other theories such as Altay mountain, Luc Ban mountain where the burial site is located, and Truong Gia Khau, these statements are relatively small, so it is not necessary to repeat them here. The tombs of the Yuan dynasty are very mysterious, closely related to the Mongolian custom of “secret burial”. According to “Marco Polo’s Travels”, those who wrote the way to bury the coffins of the khan had to be killed, to prevent the news from spreading. In addition, the place where the mausoleum is located must be in the “No signs, no trees”, not have any landmarks. From the outside looking in, it is impossible to know the location of the tomb. The Mongolian custom of “secret burial” was an important reason why the Tomb of the Yuan Dynasty remained undiscovered for hundreds of years. Those who really know the location of the tombs of the Yuan emperors and the Great Khans are as secretive as the bottlenecks, unable to reveal half an hour to outsiders for a lifetime. The reason is very simple, they do not want the rest of their ancestors and themselves to be disturbed by outsiders. Diep Tu in the book “Tao Moc Tu” of the Ming Dynasty said that in the past, the way to the tomb was found by Mongol soldiers killing the young camels in front of the female camels in the mausoleum, and the female camels would recognize it. the location of the mausoleum and lead the way if needed. However, Mr. Diep’s way of finding the way does not seem to be correct, the matter of the tomb is great, how can the Mongol aristocrats find that way? Just one question: What if the mother camel died in the middle of the road or was stolen? So this statement has no basis. The tombs of such mysterious Yuan emperors are indeed closely related to the Mongolian custom of “secret burial”. Currently, it seems that Genghis Khan and the tomb of the Yuan dynasty are most likely in the Greater Kent Mountains or near Ordos. In fact, the historical records of the location of “Starting the Cup” have been thoroughly researched by experts, and now the only thing that is needed is, just to find the exact address through surveying. archeology. If it is true that the mausoleum is in China, they plan to be properly protected, but if the mausoleum is on the Mongolian side, perhaps cooperation between these two countries is needed to find the exact address.

Illustration Made with green beans, famous for their special delicious taste and high nutritional value, produced in An Thai region (Nhon Phuc – An Nhon). The reason it is called “Song Than” is because when making vermicelli, people often make vermicelli into pairs. Legend has it that the kings of the Nguyen Dynasty often summoned An Thai vermicelli workers to Hue to make vermicelli, but were unsuccessful because there was no water in the Kon River, so it was also called vermicelli “river of gods”. What makes vermicelli noodles different from other popular vermicelli noodles is that the noodles are made from mung bean flour instead of rice or wheat flour. That is why this specialty noodle dish of Binh Dinh has a unique delicious taste and high nutritional value. However, it takes up to 5kg of green beans to produce 1kg of vermicelli, but the price on the market is a bit high. Bun Song Than not only requires elaborate processing, but also requires meticulousness and precision when drying the noodles. The place to dry the vermicelli must be a sandy beach along the Con River and must be under the sun and light wind. The ideal time to make vermicelli is from March to June.

Because it is made from green beans, the vermicelli fiber is tough, when processing, it is not broken.
