Preparing for the high school graduation exam, many students from provinces and cities flocked to Van Mieu - Quoc Tu Giam (Hanoi) to offer incense, hoping to achieve good results in the important exam coming up.
Not only carrying spiritual meaning, Van Mieu - Quoc Tu Giam is also a special national-level historical and cultural relic, built from 1070 under the Ly Dynasty. In 1076, Quoc Tu Giam was established, becoming the first high-level education center of our country. The relic site currently preserves 82 doctoral steles, engraved with the names of those who passed exams from the 15th to the 18th centuries. With a long history and educational value, this place is considered a symbol of the tradition of studiousness, honoring talents and knowledge.
Em Ngoc Duong (Noi Bai commune, Hanoi) said that because this year's high school graduation exam took place earlier, she was somewhat worried. "Before the exam, I and my friends went to the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam to sincerely offer incense and petitions, hoping for favorable study and exams. I also asked for calligraphy from Ong Do as a lucky "amulet" for my career path," Ngoc Duong expressed.
Meanwhile, Ha Thuy Quynh (Ninh Binh), a high school graduation student, shared: "This morning, I went with friends, teachers and parents from 5 am to Van Mieu - Quoc Tu Giam. For me, coming here before the exam is not only to pray for luck but also to add motivation, because this is a place associated with a long-standing tradition of studiousness. The space here helps me feel lighter, reduce pressure and confidently enter the exam.
In the space imbued with historical imprints and the tradition of studiousness, coming to Van Mieu - Quoc Tu Giam before the exam is not only a way for many students to send their faith and hope, but also an opportunity to remind themselves of the spirit of effort and will to rise up in studying. From there, each candidate becomes more confident and confident in entering the exam with the determination to achieve the best results.
