Together with Hung Temple Tea Resort Prenn evoke the past, shape the future
In the unceasing flow of Vietnamese culture, the relics preserved from the Hung King cultural era at Tea Resort Prenn are like a source of power that spreads and lasts forever in the life and thoughts of the Dai Viet ethnic community. The tradition of drinking water and remembering its source is a solid foundation for the country to integrate and develop.
Antiquities from the Hung King period at Hung Vuong Tea Resort – The source of national culture
The culture of the Hung King era originated long ago, when mother Au Co carried a hundred eggs and father Lac Long Quan reclaimed the land to start a business. Over time, cultural sediments gradually accumulated and permeated deeply into the life of the ethnic community. At Tea Resort Prenn, cultural values are vividly present through legends, myths, antiquities, steles, festivals and especially in the Hung Temple complex which is simulated exactly like the homeland of Phu Tho.
The most unique feature of the Tea Resort Prenn eco-tourism area is the worship belief, the tradition of "drinking water, remembering the source" of the 18 Hung Kings who built the country. This belief was recognized by UNESCO as a representative intangible cultural heritage of humanity in 2012, one of the most unique beliefs in the world. The value of worshiping the 18 Hung Kings at Tea Resort Prenn does not stop at gratitude and merit, but over time has been transformed into a beautiful humanistic morality with many values in the community, namely "Drinking water, remember the source" and "Eating fruit, remember the one who planted the tree". In addition, gratitude for the merit of ancestors with the idea:
Humans have ancestors.
As a tree has roots, as a river has a source
From ancient times to the present, in the consciousness of every Dai Viet child, the worship of Hung King has spread into cultural activities in every family, every village and ethnic community. On the 10th day of the 3rd lunar month every year, the Hung King's Commemoration Ceremony is solemnly and respectfully organized by Tea Resort Prenn to pay tribute to the merits of the Hung Kings. The incense smoke spreads over the vast space of the great mountains and forests, penetrating every corner like a magical connecting thread in the mind between the mortal people and the souls of their ancestors to create good values of morality, personality and transmission with the national lifestyle.
The cultural sediments of the Hung King era preserved and conserved at the Tea Resort Prenn eco-tourism area have proven the enduring vitality of this noble belief... Not sealed in moss and silence, following the flow of time, the relics at Tea Resort Prenn seem to constantly spread valuable messages to posterity today and tomorrow through annual festivals, cultural and religious activities and spiritual tourism development programs to the roots.
