Information about the stele of doctoral examination in the year of Quy Suu

In the sacred space of the Temple of Literature – Imperial Academy, the stele with the names of the Doctors of the examination in the year of Quy Suu, Hoang Dinh 14 (1613) is a vivid proof of the tradition of learning and examinations in Vietnam. The stele was erected on November 16, 1653, 40 years after the examination, to record the names of the talented people who passed the examination and contributed to serving the country.

The stele has a majestic appearance, 160cm high, 100cm wide, 17cm thick, placed on the back of a sturdy stone turtle 147cm long, 136cm wide, 19cm high - a symbol of longevity and wisdom. The stele's forehead is elaborately carved with clouds and dragons facing the sun, surrounded by soft decorative borders creating a majestic yet elegant look.

The stele, engraved in Chinese characters, not only records the history of the examinations and the names of the Doctors, but also contains the idea of ​​promoting talent – ​​considering it the national spirit. This is also a strong message that the Le Dynasty wants to convey: respecting talent, encouraging learning, and taking education as the foundation of governing the country.

The examination in the year of Quy Suu (1613) took place in the context of the Le Dynasty paying special attention to education and examinations. The erection of the stone stele was a form of honoring intellectuals, as well as a reminder to future generations about the value of learning and morality.

Today, the doctoral steles at the Temple of Literature have gone beyond the value of a relic, becoming a world documentary heritage recognized by UNESCO, symbolizing Vietnamese intelligence and the aspiration to reach knowledge. Each engraving on the stele not only records the names of the past sages, but also inspires learning for future generations.
