More historical relics of Hue listed as national treasures

 

One of these artifacts includes the nine cannons located at The Nhon and Quang Duc Gates of Hue Imperial City, created during the Nguyen Dynasty in the 19th century. These cannons are named after the four seasons and the five elements: metal, water, fire, earth, and wood. The other treasures include nine urns cast between 1835 and 1837 by the Nguyen Dynasty and the great bell of Thien Mu Pagoda, which is highly regarded as an important property of Thuan Hoa Buddhism.

 

This news is a significant boost for the archaeology of Hue City. Increased funding is anticipated for the conservation of these artifacts specifically, as well as for antiquities across Hue City in general. Furthermore, this decision underscores the Vietnamese government's commitment to protecting valuable historical relics.
