Seminar on preserving Confucianist heritages
Hanoi (VNA) - How to preserve and uphold the cultural values of Confucianist heritages, including Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam (Temple of Literature), was the main topic of a scientific seminar held in Hanoi on Jan. 13.
More than 40 reports delivered at the event highlighted typical features of
Confucianism in Vietnam , the role of Confucianist temples and writings in the
Vietnamese culture.
They also introduced documents related to the rituals of worshipping Confucius, and
places of worship as well as the preservation work at Van Mieu in Hanoi and other
Confucianist heritages in several northern and central provinces.
Confucianism entered Vietnam in early years of the Christian era when the country
was colonised by China . Chinese feudal mandarins opened schools to teach
Confucianist principles in order to impose a cultural assimilation for an easier
governing.
However, during nearly 1,000 years under the Chinese domination, Confucianism
played a barely visible role. It only went mainstream when the nation strengthened
its independence under the Ly Dynasty (1010-1225).
The emerge of Confucianism was marked by the construction of Van Mieu to worship
Confucius in 1070 and to teach crown princes. In 1076, King Ly Nhan Tong decided to
set up Quoc Tu Giam, the first university in Vietnam , to educate mandarins.
Confucianist education then developed through the dynasties of Tran, Le and
Nguyen.-Enditem
