II. Read the text carefully, then do the tasks.
The Temple of Literature (Van Mieu) was constructed in 1070 under the reign of King
LyThanh Tong. The temple was originally dedicated to Confucius as well as other scholars and
sages. Six year later, the Imperial Academy (QuocTuGiam), Vietnam’s first university, was
founded by King Ly Nhan Tong on the grounds of the temple. Initially, the Imperial Academy
was the school for princes and sons from royal families and then expanded to admit brilliant
students from all over the country. In 1484 Emperor Le Thanh Tong ordered the erection of the
first stone tablets that were carved with the names, places of birth and achievements of doctors.
The university operated for more than 700 years, from 1076 to 1779.
Nowadays, the Temple of Literature – Imperial Academy (Van Mieu - QuocTuGiam) is one
of the most famous historic and cultural heritages of Vietnam. And the Doctors’ stone tablets
were recognised by UNESCO as World Documentary Heritage in 2010.
