Hoan Kiem Lake


Hoan Kiem Lake (Vietnamese: Hồ Hoàn Kiếm, meaning "Lake of the Returned Sword" or"Lake of the Restored Sword", also known as Hồ Gươm - Sword Lake) is a lake in the historical center of Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. The lake is one of the major scenic spots in the city and serves as a focal point for its public life.


History

According to the legend, emperor Lê Lợi handed a magic sword called Heaven's Will which brought him victory in his revolt against the Chinese Ming Dynasty back to the Golden Turtle God (Kim Qui) in the lake and hence gave it its present name (the lake was formerly known as "Luc Thuy" meaning "Green Water"). The Tortoise Tower (Thap Rùa) standing on a small island near the center of lake is linked to the legend.

          The Huc Bridge
Large soft-shell turtles, either of the species Rafetus swinhoei or a separate species named Rafetus leloii in honor of the emperor, have been sighted in the lake. The species is critically endangered and the number of individuals in the lake is unclear.
Near the northern shore of the lake lies Jade Island on which the Ngoc Son Temple (Jade Mountain Temple) stands. The temple was erected in the 18th century. It honors the 13-century military leader Tran Hung Dao who distinguished himself in the fight against the Yuan Dynasty, Van Xuong, a scholar, and Nguyen Van Sieu, a Confucian master and famous writer in charge of repairs made to the temple in 1864. Jade Island is connected to the shore by the wooden red-painted Huc Bridge (The Huc, meaning Morning Sunlight Bridge).

Meaning

It is argued that the capital was moved to compare the current quarter profound ideas, a vision of an era of King Vietnamese Dai Co 1000 years ago when he chose Dai La to the new capital to advise big business, the design thriving , for the period following forever. Slides highlight the role the capital Thang Long is worth the political, economic and cultural center of the country . Time later, Thang Long remained the capital of the Tran Dynasty, the Later Le , the Mac , Hung Le and is the capital of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam . Thang Long is really "where economic most of the emperors city forever. "

Commenting on the capital Thang Long , the historian Ngo Thi Sy in the History of Great Vietnamese border money wrote:

"Mount the cover flap, the strip of belt tightening River, behind the river, facing the sea, terrain that few strong, broad term that can be a place in the majestic king, throne firm, the can University Vietnam is nowhere more than here. "

But besides the idea that also moved the capital back projection highlights the disadvantages that it can not become a typical farming culture of the nation Vietnam , as indicated in the following factors:

• Spirit of people: the birth of a text Hanoi but moved his capital projection does not mention the traditional struggle for national independence that the court of King Vietnam has built earlier. Slides will not mentioned the role of the capital of Hoa Lu and the capital earlier as Phong Chau , Me Linh , Long Bien . Ly Thai To obtain employment intensity of the dynasties of imperial China the right to imitate. He called domination Cao Bien as "High King", called the University of La is the "old city". This makes a good reference yet moved his capital should be the spirit of nationalism that the document such as Ang Nam Quoc Son Ha ("king of the South River at South Mountain") and Binh Ngo Dai Cao ("from ... Ding, Ly, Tran how life causing independence ") was there. Screening moved his capital is meaningful only within the country that can not influence at the international level.

• Desire for independence: The research suggests that up capital of the Dinh and Le Tien home is not free as you own, short-sighted. In the context of the Northern coming out, the authorities young, the capital of Co Loa not overpower any sand disorder, the capital was established at Hoa Lu more harm than good. Vietnamese people have built capital of Hoa Lu as his own without a model of what China . The emergence of displaced reference capital is evidence that the country has developed into a new site, King Ly Thai To organization itself does not start at Thang Long , which is the court of Hoa Lu to recommend to the throne instead of the former Le . So the court system and infrastructure of the capital city of Thang Long have all inherited from the old capital of Hoa Lu . Screening Committee moved the capital event has just confirmed the negative role of the capital of Hoa Lu . Is the point to mark the history of the capital Hanoi in Vietnam on the basis, foundation capital of Hoa Lu .

• Color superstition, feng shui: Screening moved the capital to be written with content flowing with full color superstition, feng shui. The development of a capital compared to other areas completely unaffected in many elements of feng shui. Roma is situated on seven hills difficult to travel far, Seoul covered mountains, lonely little mineral inclement weather, Singapore little dehydrated, Bern rugged mountains, Tokyo tun acne, discrete, separated, Ottawa Valley is located between the wet, dense river surrounded by dense forests and swamps marsh, Amsterdam just came from a fishing village in the river Amstel dam were areas not favorable for economic development and still head of state. What is your assessment is favorable to the defense and economic development is the level and ability of the current authorities. Ly Thai To refer to the kings of the Dinh , the former Le themselves according to their own transport but par short while as the beneficiary of his platform independence that these dynasties left. This view is not consistent with moral source of drinking water, remember the Vietnamese. The fact so many heroes who sacrificed as Hai Ba Trung , Ly Nam De Street , Ngo Quyen , Quang Trung ... dynasty that existed because they build a very short history but always fair. Slide moved his capital does not show the presence of the king of Vietnam which was referred to King Ly.

The reference appears all meant so much for the history of Hoa Lu and Thang Long . It makes great nature of the journey 1000 years of history. It was a farming culture of the historic moment from Hoa Lu to Thang Long - a watershed in the nation's heroic Vietnam .

Moved his capital Journey

More than a year after the Emperor ascended the throne, in July the year Canh Tuat , Ly Thai To moved the capital from the start of Hoa Lu to Dai La . Finding land, preparing the table to move the capital to take place relatively quickly. From Hoa Lu of the University of La can go by road or waterway. Using old records detailing the Ly moved his capital in any way. The researchers concluded that the Ly displaced by urban waterways. And only moved his capital by the new waterway is both safe and load the machine with a large court matter comes massive security.

In the Pacific No. 7 (976) under King Dinh Tien Hoang was the trade with foreign countries by boat. The researchers confirmed Ly Cong Uan moved the capital also needs to put teams away by boat. Union boats from landing Ghenh Tower (now the area between the Heavenly Garden and the beer Ly Thai To monument in the ancient capital of Hoa Lu .) Then the boat into the Sao Khe river , through to the East , for the temple in Hoa Lu to the wharf Yen School in Hoang Long River . Next to Gian Khau then turn to river . From the river again turns into Chau Giang river . To Ly boat team against the Red River , then into To Lich River in front of the University La .

Thus the journey moved the capital to go through six different rivers, including the Sao Khe river cruise, Hoang Long River , Chau Giang river going downstream, the river , Red River , To Lich River is going against the current . The reason the Ly away by river rather than going by sea is safe because the boat must not bear the heavy waves at sea
