The village of Đông Lỗ, in Toàn Động district, traditionally venerated the deity ‘Diêm La Trung Chính Đại Vương ’ (閻羅中正大王) (identified with Yama), reputed to have protected the kingdom and its people and to have been awarded honorary titles under previous dynasties. The imperial court conferred upon him the additional title of ‘Công Minh Chi Thần’ (公明之神) and authorised the continuation of his worship so that he might continue to protect the people.
