Der Thế Miếu, auch Thế Tổ Miếu genannt, ist ein Ahnentempel und wurde auf Befehl von Kaiser Minh Mạng in den Jahren 1822-1823 errichtet. Sie ehrt die Kaiser der Nguyễn-Dynastie. Neun gefärbte Urnen (vietnamesisch cửu đỉnh 九鼎) vor dem Thế Miếu wurden ebenfalls im Jahr 1822 gegossen und den ersten neun Nguyen-Kaisern gewidmet. Kaiser Gia Long ordnete 1805 den Bau der Zitadelle Hue an. Der riesige Komplex ist nach den Vorstellungen von Fengshui oder chinesischer Geomanz gebaut, aber nach den militärischen Prinzipien des französischen Militärarchitekten Sebastien de Vauban aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. Das Ergebnis ist ein un

The Thế Miếu, also called Thế Tổ Miếu, is an ancestral temple and was constructed on the orders of Emperor Minh Mạng in 1822-1823. It honours the emperors of the Nguyễn Dynasty. Nine dynastic urns (Vietnamese cửu đỉnh 九鼎) in front of the Thế Miếu were also cast in 1822 and dedicated to the first nine Nguyen emperors. Emperor Gia Long ordered the construction of Hue Citadel in 1805. The vast complex is built according to the notions of fengshui or Chinese geomancy, but following the military principles of the noted 18th century French military architect Sebastien de Vauban. The result is an unusual and elegant hybrid, a Chinese-style Imperial City carefully aligned with surrounding hills, islands and waterways, but defended by massive brick walls between 6-12 metres high and 2.5 metres thick, punctuated by towers, ramparts, a massive earth glacis, and 24 Vauban-inspired bastions. The entire complex was further protected by wide moats, crossed by gracefully arched stone bridges leading to ten gates, the chief of which is Cua Ngo Mon, the south-east facing ‘Meridian Gate’. To compound the exotic hybrid effect, guard posts designed as Chinese-style miradors, complete with sweeping eaves crowned by imperial dragons, surmounted each gate. Finally, directly in front of the Ngo Mon Gate, a massive brick fort 18 metres high was constructed both as an additional barrier against malign spirits, and as a defensive redoubt. The area within the Citadel - in all, 520 hectares (1300 acres) - comprises three concentric enclosures, the Civic, Imperial and Forbidden Purple Cities. Access is by way of ten fortified gates, each of which is reached by a low, arched stone bridge across the moat. In imperial times a cannon would sound at 5am and 9pm to mark the opening and closing of the gates. Hue was the imperial capital of the Nguyen Dynasty between 1802 and 1945. The tombs of several emperors lie in and around t
