Wet Nurse Mausoleum Update:11/19/2018
|
 Told by the legend that when Nguyen Anh Lord was in hardship
and misery since he was defeated, chased by Tay Son soldiers while the troop
was so lacking; food supplies ran out and he thought he would die in this
place, luckily, there was a well-off woman in My Hiep village (Ninh Hoa) who
kindly fed and showed him the way to escape to the South. Many years later,
after defeating the Tay Son Dynasty and becoming king, the king remembered the
merits of the woman and wanted to show his gratitude toward her; however, she
was no longer alive. In remembrance of her gratitude, the king appointed her
the Wet nurse, and at the same time allocated excellent builders to construct
the palace in Hue and skilled builders in Khanh Hoa to go to My Hiep village to
build her mausoleum. (detail)
