Down in the world, she traveled, explored everywhere, stopped on Tay Ho island, and discovered that this was a charming place of land spirit, so she stayed to open a restaurant as an excuse to enjoy literature in the midst of mysterious nature. miraculous.

That fairy has crossed the heavens to help people settle down and settle down, eliminate ghosts, and punish sightseeing. In the Nguyen Dynasty, she was conferred “the mother of the world" by the king, one of the four “immortal four" gods of Vietnam.

These three models form the Tam Phu, explaining the evolutionary process of Vietnamese people, from forests, mountains, rivers, and streams down to the plains to settle down to grow wet rice. According to the concept of the Three Palaces, the ruler of the heavens has a celestial authority to bless people, the ruler of the earth has a place to forgive people’s sins, and the ruler of the water government has a customs authority to remove all obstacles, difficult for humans.

No one knows how long the fairy god stayed here, only knowing that when Phung Khac Khoan returned to look for it, it was gone. To ease his nostalgia, he built a temple for the wise. That is the thrilling origin of  Tay Ho government.
