The ancient characters that appear in this temple are our ancient Chinese characters, and this temple is actually a temple in Yunnan. In fact, Vietnam was a dependent country of China before, and later became independent and became the current Vietnam.
Previously, when Vietnam was still a satellite state of China, the writing used in Vietnam was ancient Chinese characters. This temple was built when Vietnam still belonged to China, so a large number of ancient characters appeared in this temple. However, Vietnam was occupied by France for a period of time. At that time, some Vietnamese were using Vietnamese language, and some were using French language, and the ancient Chinese characters were abolished. As a result, no one in Vietnam today recognizes these ancient Chinese characters when they see them.
There are many traces of ancient Chinese characters in many ancient buildings in Vietnam, and most of them are well preserved. This makes me very proud as a Chinese and shows that China has a long cultural origin and has a strong influence on neighboring countries. This Long Tien Temple is not only loved by local Vietnamese, but also attracts a large number of foreign tourists to experience the rich ancient culture of this temple.
I have to sigh that our Chinese culture has such great charm. The reason why these ancient Chinese characters are being discovered in large numbers now is because they were discovered in this ancient temple when many Chinese people came to Vietnam to travel. In addition to many intact ancient Chinese characters appearing in Long Tien Temple, many ancient Chinese characters have also been excavated in many other ancient buildings in Vietnam. This is very shocking because they are all relatively well preserved.
