The Nguyen family in Chi Ne village, Trung Hoa commune, Chuong My district is a large clan. From the end of the 15th century, the ancestor Nguyen Thuc Doi from Ai Chau - Tong Son (now Ha Trung district, Thanh Hoa province) came here to settle down and make a living. The Nguyen family's tradition of examinations began and reached its peak with Nguyen Nhuan, who passed the Third Class of the same Doctorate, and Nguyen Hy Tai, who passed the Third Class of the same Doctorate. The Nguyen family's examination career up to the 22nd year of Tu Duc recorded 2 people passing the Doctorate, 13 people passing the Huong Cong exam, and 14 people passing the Sinh Do exam.
Not only did they pass the imperial examinations, the Nguyen family also had a tradition of ardent patriotism. During the two resistance wars against France and the US, the Nguyen family had 12 martyrs, 1 Vietnamese Heroic Mother, 3 wounded soldiers, 2 people who directly participated in the resistance activities and were exposed to toxic chemicals...
The Nguyen family temple was built with a total area of nearly 600m2, including the following items: Gate, front hall, back hall, guest house... The temple still preserves 4 stone steles, including the "Nguyen family's genealogy" stele (Tu Duc 22nd year - 1869) - one of the oldest steles recording the names of 29 scholars of the family.
During the years when the US bombed the North, the Nguyen Family Temple was also an evacuation site for Soviet military experts and a place to store important documents from Laos.
With its outstanding values, Nguyen Family Temple was recognized by Hanoi People's Committee as a City-level Historical Relic - Memorial of Celebrities, in Decision No. 735/QD-UBND dated February 17, 2025.
The ranking of the Nguyen family temple is not only to honor the famous people, affirm the historical and cultural values of the relic, but also to recognize the contributions of the Party Committee, the government and the people of Trung Hoa commune, and the Nguyen family... From this milestone, in the coming time, the local government will continue to join hands and unite to effectively implement the Law on Cultural Heritage on protecting and promoting the value of the Nguyen family temple relic; continue to effectively carry out propaganda and education work for all classes of people, especially students, about the tradition of studiousness of famous people and scholars in the locality.
