The Temple of Literature is about 10 minutes away from Hoan Kiem Lake. It was constructed in 1070
under Ly Thanh Tong’s dynasty, first to honor Confucius and nowadays to celebrate the doctorate and
high rank scholar of Vietnam. In 1076, Emperor Ly Nhan Tong continued the work and built the Imperial
Academy as the first university of Vietnam.
The Temple is divided into five courtyards. The first courtyard is from the main gate to Dai Trung
Gate. The second is with Khue Van Pavilion. The pavilion symbol is used on the street signs of Ha Noi.
The third courtyard is the place where the doctorate names were listed on the stone tablets above
tortoise backs. The fourth courtyard is dedicated for Confucius and his 72 honored students, as well as
Chu Van An - one of the most famous teachers at the Imperial Academy. The last is also the farthest
