Explore the Doctorate Stele of the Year of the Dog (1646) on the YooLife digital platform

The Doctorate Stele of the Year of the Dog (1646) in the Temple of Literature – Imperial Academy is a testament to the talented people who have contributed to the glory of the country. Each engraving on the stele not only records the names but also contains the wisdom, personality and aspirations of many generations to build the country. Now, this relic is vividly recreated on the YooLife digital platform, providing an intuitive and modern experience.

Among the 82 Doctoral steles currently remaining at the Temple of Literature – Quoc Tu Giam. The seemingly dry numbers of size or date, when placed in the historical context and people of that time, become vivid, evoking a whole story about the era.

The stele is 153cm high, 115cm wide, 27cm thick, placed on the back of a turtle 160cm long, 100cm wide, 28cm high. Its moderate size allows viewers to easily approach it, while still exuding majesty in the sacred space of the Temple of Literature - a place to honor 82 Doctoral steles, a precious heritage of Vietnamese Confucian education .
