Incense offering ceremony held in honour of Hung KingsPM Nguyen Xuan Phuc and delegates offer incense at Thuong Temple at the Hung Kings Temple Relic Site. PM Phuc and delegates laid wreaths and offered incense and flowers in tribute to the Hung Kings and other ancestors at the main temple. The same day, provinces and cities nationwide held a wide range of activities in commemoration of the Hung Kings. Ruling the country through 18 generations (2879–258 BC), the Hung Kings taught locals how to grow wet rice. The worshipping rituals of the Hung Kings are closely related to the ancestral worship traditions of most Vietnamese families, an important part of people's spiritual life.
