The story of Tran Temple is believed to have a tradition from the time of the Tran dynasty. Tran Temple symbolizes peace, prosperity, and progress. People visit Tran Temple in the hope of receiving a seal to bring luck and attract wealth. Every year, the festival at Tran Temple starts on the evening of the 14th day of the first lunar month and continues throughout the day on the 15th. The festival takes place at the Tran Temple relic site in Loc Vuong Ward, Nam Dinh City.
Local residents and visitors from all over the world eagerly participate in the Tran Temple festival to pray for good luck in the new year. The festival also serves as an occasion to commemorate the contributions of the Tran dynasty and educate the younger generations about patriotism and the importance of protecting the nation from foreign invaders.
Obtaining a seal from Tran Temple can be challenging due to the large number of people. Therefore, after receiving the seal, people are overjoyed but also concerned about how to properly place and position the seal for optimal feng shui and spiritual significance.
Meaning of Tran Temple seal
According to ancient traditions, the Tran Temple seal has been used since the Tran dynasty to pray for peace, prosperity, and well-being for everyone in the new year, promoting work, production, education, and other endeavors.
When bringing the Tran Temple seal home, it should be placed on the wall behind the workplace. For better results, different positions have different meanings. To enhance wealth, the seal can be placed in the West direction. To promote career advancement, place it in the North direction. To boost health, place it in the Southeast direction. Additionally, you can also stick the seal on the wall or enclose it in a picture frame and hang it near your workplace, the closer, the better.
For those who wish to commemorate the contributions of the Tran dynasty and instill gratitude in their children, the seal can be hung near the workplace, on the office desk, or in the direction of oneself, a bookshelf, or facing the door.
Avoiding taboos when hanging the seal
Whether one believes it or not, the Tran Temple seal carries a sacred significance. Therefore, it is important to respect the tradition and only request the seal when sincerely acknowledging its meaning. After receiving the seal, it should not be placed on the ancestral altar, as it is not proper and does not align with the cultural norms.
Avoid sticking the seal in the direction of the bathroom or on the bathroom wall, even if it is a shared wall between the bathroom, bedroom, or living room, as it can be disrespectful and does not align with feng shui principles and cultural customs.
Avoid folding the seal on the table, and definitely do not fold it and put it in a wallet, as it is not auspicious and can damage the seal.
Avoid placing the seal on a vehicle, as it can create disturbances during transportation.
