Compared to the other three temples, Kim Lien temple was built later (around the 16th - 17th centuries). Kim Lien Temple worships Cao Son Dai Vuong. At the relic, there is a stone stele with the title "The Merciful God of Cao Son" composed by historian Le Tung in 1510, talking about the merits of God Cao Son. The content said: When King Le Tuong Duc led the army to suppress the rebellion and restore King Le Thai To's fortune, there were three great ministers, Nguyen Ba Lan, Nguyen Hoang Du and Nguyen Van Lu, who together led troops to conquer. Coming to Phung Hoa district (now Lao Temple relic, Van Phuong commune, Nho Quan, Ninh Binh province), you will see a dense mountain and forest scene with an ancient temple inscribed with the four words "Cao Son Dai Vuong". Very surprised, the king and mandarins asked the gods for help. Sure enough, after ten days it was successful. Therefore, King Le Tuong Duc built a temple to worship Cao Son in Phung Hoa. After being grateful to the god for secretly helping to quell the rebellion in Dong Do, in 1509, the king rebuilt a bigger and more beautiful temple in Kim Hoa ward near Thang Long at that time (now Kim Lien). Later, Kim Lien villagers built a three-entrance gate in front of the temple gate, right next to Kim Lien lagoon and added some new architecture, creating Kim Lien communal house. In addition to Cao Son Dai Vuong, Kim Lien temple and communal house also worship Tam Phu, worship the Mother Goddess, and worship President Ho Chi Minh. The communal house was built on a high mound in the east of Kim Lien lagoon. The communal house gate and main hall door both face west, overlooking Kim Lien lagoon (this lagoon no longer exists because it was filled in to make ring road 1). The architecture of the communal house consists of two parts: the front part of the mound has a pillar gate, two rows of ceilings on both sides of a large brick yard, and the main architectural part of the monument is located on a high mound. Going to the end of the upper yard, you will pass through nine high brick steps built with large-sized bricks of the Le Trung Hung period connecting the two above architectural parts. The main communal house includes Nghi Mon, Dai Pagoda and Forbidden Palace. Nghi Mon is a three-compartment house, built in the style of a gable wall. On the architectural parts, decorative motifs are displayed vividly and elaborately in the artistic style of the Nguyen Dynasty.

Bach Ma Temple is in Ha Khau ward, Huu Tuc district, Tho Xuong district, Hoai Duc district, now at 76 Hang Buom street, Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi. The temple worships the god Long Do, titled Quang Loi Bach Ma Dai Vuong (god Long Do means the god of Long Do mountain, also called Nung mountain, the place that receives the sacred energy of the rivers and mountains of Thang Long citadel). Legend has it that when our country was dominated by the Northern Tang Dynasty, Cao Bien ordered his soldiers to build Dai La citadel. Suddenly, he saw the sky and earth being dark and dark, and a god riding a red dragon, sitting on a five-colored cloud, hovered above. city face. Cao Bien was scared and intended to use a magic spell to ward off the attack. That night, Bien dreamed that the god appeared and said: I am the elite of Long Do land. I heard that you ordered the construction of the citadel, so why do you intend to use magic charms to protect it? Bien woke up scared but still buried copper and iron in the dragon veins for protection. That night, there was heavy rain and strong winds, thunder and lightning. Waking up in the morning, Cao Bien went to see the places that had been secured and saw that copper and iron had been smashed to pieces. Cao Bien saw that it was the sacred god of the South. Bien could not do anything, so he ordered a temple to be built to ask for blessings. Legend has it that when Ly Cong Uan moved the capital to Dai La citadel, he ordered the citadel to be built but it was not completed. The king sent people to Bach Ma temple to pray to the gods. He saw a white horse coming out of the temple in a circle from east to west, leaving traces wherever it went, then returning to the temple and disappearing. The king sent his soldiers to follow the horse's footprints to build the citadel, and sure enough, the citadel was built. King Ly Thai To then repaired the temple and appointed the god Long Do as Quang Loi Bach Ma, the most sacred deity. Lifting the veil of divinity, we see that when the Ly dynasty's kings and mandarins moved the capital to Dai La, they planned the eastern capital as Bach Ma temple, in the west as Voi Phuc temple, in the north as Tran Vo temple, in the south as Cao Son temple ( Kim Lien family today). That is "Thang Long four towns". The ancients sanctified the capital's land and the king's deeds, the holy land was determined by the gods with the "magic circle" which was a belief from the tribal times. The temple has been repaired many times. The system of stone steles still present at the relic shows that the temple was expanded in the Chinh Hoa era of the Le Dynasty (1680 - 1705). At the end of the 19th century, the old foundation was enhanced and expanded. In 1781, Lord Trinh approved the 3 borders of Mat Thai, Bac Thuong, Bac Ha, and Ha Khau ward surrounding Bach Ma temple to be made "customary" by people (sam). offerings and sacrifices, not collections or other miscellaneous services). In 1829, it was repaired again to make it more magnificent. In 1839, additional writing was built on the left side of the temple, and the Phuong communal house (square communal house) was built to serve as a place for worshiping every week. The temple grounds have shrunk. On the occasion of the 990th anniversary of Thang Long - Hanoi (2000), the monument was majorly renovated on the basis of preserving the old architectural status quo. The temple faces south, currently including Tam Quan, Phuong Dinh, Dai Pagoda, Burning Incense, Forbidden Palace and the Council House in the back. The new communal house was built in 1839 under the Nguyen Dynasty, so it bears the architectural style of today. The cows on the cross beams and the lotus-shaped lanterns on the top of the four armpit beams are close to the communal house architecture in Hoi An. From the communal house to the great altar there is a dome shaped like a "crab shell". The "crab shell" connects the houses, creating a spacious space. Dai Bai has a wooden frame with four rows of legs, a set of rafters structured in the style of "stacking beams, gong racks", and a roof divided in the style of "upper third, lower fourth". On the wooden posts, armpit beams, and beams, there are many carved plaques. Decorative themes are fire clouds, flowers and leaves. Connecting the great altar to the incense burning house is a semicircular "crab shell" dome, decorated with flowers and leaves. In the Forbidden Palace, there is a high wooden floor with planks on three sides to serve as the seat of the god Bach Ma. The statue of the god Bach Ma (Long Do) sits in the cemetery, always covered. Both the statue and the tomb are products of the Nguyen Dynasty. The temple still retains 15 steles. The content of the steles refers to the history of temples and gods, worshiping rituals, and restorations. The temple has worshiping objects such as ceremonial sets including ancient weapons such as halberds, swords, spears, spears... painted with gilded vermilion and delicately carved. In the temple, in addition to bronze incense burners, bronze vases, and a large number of people, there is also a Buddha statue. This detail represents the folk concept of "three religions of the same religion". The temple also has a pair of high-legged, high-necked cranes and a pair of gongs in a solemn standing position. Among the relics of the "Four Towns", Bach Ma Temple in the eastern town was built the earliest. Existing in the heart of the old town with many colors, architectural artistic elements and a system of historical and philosophical legends about the worshiped deity, Bach Ma Temple forever retains its value as a sacred landmark of the ancient world. The capital city of Thang Long has a thousand years of culture. The temple was ranked as a historical and architectural and artistic relic by the Ministry of Culture and Information in 1986.

Phu Dung Pagoda is associated with the story of the person lying in the ancient tomb, Ms. Phu Dung, who later people also gave another name, Ms. Di Tu, the first nun to live at the pagoda. Actually, the above anecdote is told by folk based on the historical novel Ai Co in an upside-down pot by Mrs. Mong Tuyet. The story is summarized as follows: Cong Mac Linh, General of the Army, Grand Admiral Mac Thien Tich, has a second wife named Aunt Tu, who is "beautiful and fragrant and has good writing". Mac Linh Cong, because of his love for beauty and poetic talent, turned from favor to natural love. As a result, Mrs. Nguyen became jealous and plotted to harm the second wife. One day, while Cong Mac Linh was busy reviewing troops, at home, Lady Nguyen locked her concubine in a pot and covered it until she suffocated and died. Suddenly, it started to rain heavily and Cong Mac Linh just arrived. Seeing that it was raining but the big pot was not tilted up to catch the water, he ordered the pot to be opened and discovered that Aunt Tu was barely alive, but luckily she was still able to save her. Although she escaped death, Aunt Tu became bored with the situation and asked Duke Mac Linh for permission to become a monk. Faced with that unruly situation, the General had no other choice but to comply and build a temple for his "Ai Co" to practice. Next to the temple, he dug a pond and planted white lotus flowers to commemorate his old love. When she passed away, Cong Mac Linh built a solid tomb, structured in the shape of a pot, to pay tribute to the beautiful woman who had to endure injustice and hardship because of him... That tomb later became Phu Dung Tu. Although there are different opinions, there is even an opinion that the love story of Mac Doge and Ai Co Phu Cu is just a fiction of writers, but most Ha Tien people know it by heart and believe that it is a beautiful, true love story, associated with the work of opening up Ha Tien land. The historical love story soaked in literature and tears between Governor Mac and Ai Co Phu Cu has since then been the inspiration for many works of stories, operas and poems.
