The ancestral temple of poet Nguyen Khuyen is located in Vi Ha village, Trung Luong commune, Binh Luc district. This is an ancient house - where the poet lived during his imperial examinations and his old age after he retired from office. Not only a place of worship, the ancestral temple also preserves many souvenirs closely associated with the poet's life: 2 book boxes, 2 scrolls, 2 "An tu vinh quy" plaques given by the king to Mr. Nguyen Khuyen, a photo of him taken when he was alive, parallel sentences of Governor Ninh - Thai Bui Uoc congratulating him on the autumn of 1872; a poem given by Doctor Duong Khue in 1871, engraved on a scroll... The entrance gate to the ancestral temple is built of small bricks (repainted) with 3 large characters "Mon tu mon" (students' entrance). On both sides of the gate are a pair of relief parallel sentences, Chinese characters pressed into mortar. The steps are built in three levels, 0.40m high. The ancestral temple area has 7 rooms. This seven-room house, the three middle rooms are for receiving guests, each gable has two rooms separated by wood to make rooms. These rooms are built in the style of a gong-shaped truss, the columns are 0.35m in diameter, and the sculptures are in the simple Nguyen Dynasty style. Through a 0.35m wide brick yard with brick walls on both gables, you will arrive at the second house. In the yard, towards the wall, there are some built-in flower pots and ornamental plants. The second house is now the Nguyen Khuyen Temple. The house has three rooms, four rows of columns, the diameter of the columns is 0.25m, in the style of a gong-shaped truss, overlapping beams. The two gables and the back wall are built with brick walls, and in front is a row of wooden panel doors, each room has four doors. These doors can be removed completely when needed, making the inside of the house airy, bright, and more spacious. The carvings inside the house are not elaborate. Apart from some flip-leaf images and some simple seal scripts, the technique here is mainly mortise and tenon, with a straight and decisive horizontal and vertical line, and a tight structure. The photo of Nguyen Khuyen wearing a turban and ao dai, holding a jackfruit seed cup, taken during his lifetime, is solemnly placed in the ancestral temple. Visiting the ancestral temple, visitors can immerse themselves in the poetic landscape of the autumn pond, bamboo alley, Bui garden, where poet Nguyen Khuyen is worshiped, where relics, horizontal lacquered boards and parallel sentences given to the poet by great scholars, photos of his officialdom, and his works are kept. Coming here, visitors can enjoy his poems, while letting their souls wander by the autumn pond in the shade of quiet trees with the "winding bamboo alley", a typical feature of the Northern Delta.
