Tien La Temple is the place to worship Dong Nhung Dai Tuong Quan Vu Thi Thuc - a female general under the Trung Sisters. According to historical records, when the Eastern Han invaders invaded our country, the governor To Dinh forced her to be his wife. When she refused, To Dinh killed her father and husband and sent troops to hunt her down. Not letting her fall into To Dinh's hands, Vu Thi Thuc broke the siege, crossed the Red River to Tien La, Da Cuong Huong (present-day Hung Ha) to recruit soldiers and raise the flag of uprising. When the Trung Sisters raised an army to fight against the Eastern Han army, she led soldiers to join the Trung Sisters to fight the enemy, achieved many feats, and was appointed Dong Nhung Dai Tuong Quan by the Trung Sisters.
