Ly Thai Tong establishes Temple of Literature in Hanoi
1043
The Vietnamese king founded the Van Mieu, a temple dedicated to Confucius, in his capital at Thang Long. The complex would later house Vietnam's first national university and become the ceremonial heart of Vietnamese scholarly life. Stone steles recording the names of examination graduates would accumulate there over seven centuries, a testament to the power of learning.
