In the past few days, the information about the Nguyen Dynasty throne at the Hue Monuments being violated has caused a stir in public opinion. The gold chair broke the left arm rest after being hit by a man.
The golden throne of the Nguyen Dynasty located in Thai Hoa Palace is a unique artifact. The forehead is 101cm high, 72cm wide, 87cm long. The base is 118cm long, 90cm wide, 20cm high.
On top of the throne are splendid golden earrings. The entire artifact is elaborately crafted with precious wood painted with gilded lacquer, delicately carved with hidden cloud dragon motifs.
The back of the throne shows the image of "a fairy-tale", surrounded by dragon heads pointing towards the center, showing the world submitting to a match. The golden throne is a unique work of art of Hue royal art.
In January 2016, the throne was recognized as a National Treasure, carrying many historical and cultural values.
According to the Hue Monuments Conservation Center, the Nguyen Dynasty throne was crafted under the reign of King Gia Long (1802 - 1819), then used throughout the Nguyen Dynasty with a total of 13 kings, lasting for 143 years.
In the book "Kinh Thanh Hue: Learning about the process of building the Nguyen Dynasty Capital" by author Phan Thuan An, the king sitting on the throne placed in the middle of Thai Hoa Palace.
Inside the palace, only the four pillars and the royal court members were allowed to appear before the king.
Other officials lined up in a row in order of being painted with small stones on the field, according to the principle of the officers standing on the left side and the officers standing on the right.
The national treasure of the Nguyen Dynasty throne is one of the artifacts that "witnessed" the historical ups and downs of the 143 years of this dynasty.
According to researcher Phan Thuan An, the Nguyen Dynasty's independent period lasted 56 years over the four kings of Gia Long, Minh Mang, Thieu Tri, and Tu Duc.
Since ancient times, Hue people have never dared to use a brick or brick from the Royal Palace. When the Nguyen Dynasty ended until the period of national division, no one dared to offend the high officials who arbitrarily sat on the throne or offend anything.
With the success of the August Revolution, President Ho Chi Minh issued a decree requiring localities to preserve relics and treasures left by previous generations and not destroy them. After historical events, the throne still did not shift from Thai Hoa Palace.
