Not long ago, 23/23 countries participating in the 10th General Conference of the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Memory of the World Program Committee held in Mongolia also voted to include the reliefs on the Hue Nine Tripod Cauldrons in the Memory of the World List.

It is known that the Nine Dynastic Urns in the Hue Royal Palace were ordered by King Minh Mang to be cast in 1835 and completed in 1837, placed in front of the The To Temple yard, with the purpose of representing the longevity of the dynasty, the wealth and territorial integrity of Vietnam.

According to researchers, the 162 carvings with various themes on the Nine Tripod Cauldrons contain many hidden values. This puts the Nine Tripod Cauldrons beyond the national level.

The reliefs on the Nine Urns placed in the The To Temple (a place to worship the Nguyen Dynasty kings) in the Hue Imperial Palace have also just been included in the Memory of the World Register. (Photo: Le Hoang)

This is a unique and rare source of information that is of interest to domestic and foreign researchers because it has valuable content on history, culture - education, geography, feng shui, medicine, and calligraphy. In particular, it highlights the status of women under the feudal regime, of which the image of Vinh Te canal on Cao Dinh is a clear demonstration.

The reliefs on the Nine Tripod Cauldrons preserve values ​​about the cultural and social interactions and contacts between Vietnam and countries in the East Asian region.
