Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism Pham Nguyen Hong presented a speech affirming the role and significance of the Ba Trieu uprising.

According to historical records, Lady Trieu was born on October 2, Binh Ngo year - 226, in Quan Yen land (now Dinh Tien commune, Yen Dinh district). As a child, with a spirit of superiority, she was nurtured with patriotism, peace, and martial arts; growing up, she became a brave and intelligent woman. In 247, from Nua mountain, her army attacked Tu Pho citadel and won a complete victory. On the momentum of victory, the army advanced to Bo Dien (Trieu Loc commune, Hau Loc district) and together with the local people built a long-term base for the resistance.

Faced with the spirit and courage of a girl in her early 20s, the people of Cuu Chan (Thanh Hoa) eagerly joined her army. From the Bo Dien base, the army attacked the Wu enemy's citadels and hamlets, causing the enemy, from the Governor to the District Governor and soldiers, to be killed or to flee in panic.

Frightened by the prestige and strength of Lady Trieu's army, the Ngo Dynasty sent Luc Dan, a notoriously cruel general, along with 8,000 soldiers and many ships to aggressively crush the uprising. Due to the imbalance of forces, in a fierce battle, Lady Trieu heroically committed suicide, to the regret and admiration of the people, on February 22, Mau Thin year (248).

1777 years have passed, but the indomitable spirit of the Ba Trieu uprising, along with the heroic sacrifice of National Hero Trieu Thi Trinh, has always been the pride and admiration of the people of Thanh Hoa in particular and the whole country in general. At the same time, the precious values ​​of the Ba Trieu Temple Festival have always been preserved, passed down and promoted by the people.
