Emperor Ly Thanh Tong established the Temple of Literature in 1070 as a temple to honor the Chinese philosopher Confucius. It is situated to the south of the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long. His son founded the Temple of Literature in 1076 as a royal school for only the aristocracy, including princes, nobles, and officials.

The Temple of Literature, which was regarded as Vietnam's first university, was open for about 700 years and produced a large number of eminent academics and government officials. The Temple of Literature maintained its priceless architectural and cultural value despite ongoing wars and catastrophes.
