At that time, the An invaders appeared on our land, and the king's envoy sought talented generals to help the king defend the country. The envoy reached Giong's village, and upon hearing the envoy's announcement about the king seeking talents, Giong's boy spoke up, asking his mother to call the envoy in. Overwhelmed with fear and joy, Giong's mother shared the news with the village, and someone suggested bringing the envoy to see what the boy wanted. When the envoy arrived, Giong told him about bringing a horse, a sword, armor, and a helmet from the king for him to drive away the invaders.

As relatives, the envoy immediately returned to inform the king, who, upon hearing, rejoiced and instructed the blacksmith to forge everything the boy Giong needed. The villagers contributed rice, cattle, and fruits for Giong's sustenance, but no matter how much food he ate, he was never full, and the clothes made for him were always too tight. When the enemy came, the boy grew into a valiant warrior, clad in armor, riding a metal horse, wielding an iron rod to chase away the wicked invaders. When the iron rod broke, Giong pulled up even the bushes by the roadside to fight off the enemy. With the enemy vanquished, Giong alone mounted his horse and flew to the peak of Soc mountain, then soared straight into the sky.

Through this, readers see that Saint Giong symbolizes the strength of our country, our nation. The image of Saint Giong fighting and triumphing over the enemy is truly beautiful, symbolizing the intense patriotism and heroic spirit of the Vietnamese nation and people.

The stories, settings, and characters depicted in folklore are very close, intimate with the material life and soul of each Vietnamese person. From mythology, legend, fairy tale to humorous stories, fables, each story has its own shade, its own flavor, and is truly adorable, memorable.

Saint Giong is one of the folk tales reflecting the strength of Vietnam from the dawn of the nation to the era of the sixth Hung King. Moreover, Saint Giong is also a folk tale full of national spirit with beautiful artistic images, built with a lofty and majestic stature.

First and foremost, the story of Saint Giong is full of patriotism - the beloved country of Van Lang is invaded by the An enemy. The enemy is like a fierce wave rushing in. Our village is burned, our people are brutally massacred by the enemy. The king calls for talents to come out to fight the enemy and save the country. At the age of three, Giong stood up to respond to the call of the mountains and rivers. The first words of Giong are words of patriotism, elevating heroic spirit, determined to fight the enemy, repay the king, and repay the country. A resounding voice echoes through the mountains and rivers for generations: - Your house, return to the King, have a blacksmith make me an iron horse, an iron whip, an iron armor, I will defeat this enemy!

After meeting the messenger, Giong grew up quickly, eating as much as he could, never full, and his newly made clothes were already tight. Giong's mother's house was very poor. The whole village sympathized with Giong, bringing rice, silk to feed him. This detail shows that when the country is in danger, our people knew how to unite, bring talents, and resources to fight the enemy and save the country. On the battlefield, Giong urged the iron horse to charge into the enemy. The iron horse spewed fire. Giong wielded the iron whip, striking the An enemy fiercely, terrifying their souls.

The iron whip broke when the battle was fierce. Giong ingeniously used bamboo as a weapon to strike at the brutal enemy. The enemy fell like grass. Giong turned a simple bamboo stump into an extremely powerful weapon to destroy the enemy. The image of the boy from the village of Giong charging through the forest of enemies, the spear of the An enemy, sometimes wielding the iron whip to fight the enemy, sometimes pulling out bamboo to strike at the enemy's head, showed brave fighting spirit, unparalleled intelligence, and the invincible strength of the national hero in the early days of nation-building and defense.

Defeating the enemy, Giong and the iron horse flew to the sky. The king ordered the construction of a temple, and Giong was proclaimed as Phu Dong Thien Vuong. Saint Giong has become an immortal hero, admired and grateful by our people for generations. It can be said that the boy from the village of Giong is a mythological hero, his life glittering with military achievements. The Saint Giong story will forever be a patriotic song, reflecting the heroic uprising of our nation.

Saint Giong is also a fairy tale with beautiful artistic images. From the giant footprints in the sweet potato field to the heroic posture of the village boy turning into a majestic warrior has shown a heroic step in the history of the nation and the rising strength of our country against invaders. The iron horse spews fire, neighing through the sky. Giong wielded the iron whip to fight the enemy, pulled out bamboo to strike the enemy's head, chased to the foot of Mount Soc Son, then the enemy vanished. Giong left behind an iron armor and then flew up to the sky. These beautiful images speak of miraculous imagination, praising the spirit of determination, and victory of our people.

The image of Saint Giong fighting and defeating the enemy is beautifully depicted, symbolizing the intense patriotism and heroic strength of the Vietnamese nation and people. The Saint Giong story nurtures the childhood soul with national pride. Saint Giong has brought us a beautiful dream:

'Oh, youth! Ancient Phu Dong boy

Grow up, rise up a thousand pounds

Riding on the iron horse spewing fire

Pulling out the village's bamboo, chasing away the An enemy!'

(To Huu)

Among the folktales of our country that I have heard or read, the story of Saint Giong has left me with a particularly deep impression.

Reading or listening to this story, I'm sure you, like me, must wonder why the first hero to resist foreign invaders of our nation is a three-year-old boy. Perhaps that boy represents the image of our nation in the early dawn of history when the country was still small and weak before a large and ferocious northern enemy. Therefore, our country had to grow up quickly, become gigantic enough to confront and defeat the enemy to preserve the integrity of our ancestors' land, to protect a peaceful life for hundreds of families.

Returning to the image of our homeland at that time, the invading enemy had reached Chau Son, wherever they went, they plundered and killed, causing our people to suffer. Clearly, the nation was in danger. The blood of the innocent people flowed. Therefore, the country, the nation had to grow quickly, rapidly as if blown, had to immediately leave the warm cradle of the mother's heart to stand up and become gigantic. Our Vietnamese history is not only in the early days but throughout the four thousand years of nation-building and defense were all like that.

How many times we quashed the 'Chau cricket' in a thousand years of Chinese domination. How many times we had great victories against the Mongols on the Bach Dang River, recorded in history. Ten years of 'tasting bitterness and lying on thorns' just to drive the brutal Ming troops out of the country, to regain independence for the nation. A campaign of swift and victorious combat against the mighty Qing army, the reputation still resounds. Mentioning Nine years for one Dien Bien. Red flowers bloomed, golden history (To Huu) shining on the earth. An immortal Hồ Chí Minh campaign in 1975, all those times, our Vietnamese people, our Vietnamese country all became gigantic like that.

To become a greater hero, mighty and majestic, the boy from the village of Giong had to rely on rice, the rice of the villagers voluntarily contributed to nurture him. Therefore, the birth of Saint Giong was the parents, and the nurturing of Saint Giong was the people. The people reduced their meals and clothes so that Giong could grow up quickly, have an iron horse, an iron whip, the most modern and advanced means and weapons at that time for Giong to defeat the brutal enemy. All dreams, aspirations of the people, they all put into every grain of rice, every bowl of rice sent to nurture Giong.

What were the dreams and aspirations of the people? Raising the hero of the village of Giong, the people only hoped that this brave warrior would defeat the enemy so that in the fields, the children could be relaxed, the buffalo's back could blow the flute, and the farmers could plow deeply for a peaceful life for their families. true, the girl sat comfortably by the loom frame and the mother lulled the child in the bamboo cradle, on whose roof, the smoke curled leisurely, peacefully... Indeed, without a patriotic people, how could there be a hero to save the country? How beautiful is the image of the hero on the back of the iron horse, wielding the whip to fight the enemy, each step from the horse's mouth spewing the flames of the people's resentment wanting to burn all the enemies.

How interesting! How enjoyable is the image of Giong breaking the whip, pulling the dust off the road to fight the enemy. The hero of the village of Giong not only used modern, advanced weapons but also, when needed, used the simple, traditional weapons of the people, bamboo. Another interesting thing is that it turns out that the bamboo has fought against the enemy with our nation since the dawn of history, not just a day or two of fighting against the West to chase the Americans away recently.

The most beautiful image of this folk tale is the image of the brave warrior of the village of Giong taking off his shirt, leaving it at the foot of Soc Son, both him and the horse flying to the sky. That image transcends time, lives forever in the imagination of every person, every generation, and will surely endure forever with our Vietnamese people.

And in the series of legends with the same theme, we cannot overlook the legend of Saint Giong.

And he only spoke when he heard the messenger looking for someone to fight the enemy. His first words were a request to go fight the enemy to save the country, which shows the extraordinary citizen consciousness of this person.

After the miraculous words, Saint Giong ate without getting full, clothes no longer fit. Faced with the strange phenomenon of Giong, the villagers brought rice to feed Giong and his parents. This detail clearly shows the patriotism and the strength of solidarity of our people. When the enemy came, our people united, helped each other to drive away the invading enemy, furthermore, the maturation of the hero Saint Giong also shows, the greatness of Giong originates from the people, nurtured and grown up by the people. Giong grew rapidly, when the enemy reached the foot of the Buffalo Mountain, the three-year-old boy became a valiant, majestic hero. The growth of Giong emphasizes the relationship between the national salvation career and the hero: to meet the historical requirements, Giong had to grow rapidly to fit the circumstances of the country, Giong had to be gigantic in stature, will, then could undertake the responsibility at that time.

With extraordinary strength, Giong defeated all layers of the enemy, when the iron whip broke, Saint Giong did not hesitate, pulled out the bamboo dust on the roadside to continue fighting the enemy until they were completely destroyed. To achieve these miraculous feats, not only were modern, advanced weapons (iron whip, iron armor) used, but also the simplest weapons (bamboo dust). After defeating the invading enemy, Giong went to the foot of Soc Mountain and left behind his clothes, flying alone on a horse to the sky. The hero after completing the task of saving the country did not care about fame, reward, returned to the heavenly realm.

These lessons are passed down from generation to generation and always remain, forever, a precious cultural heritage that our nation needs to preserve. The story of Saint Giong is no exception, telling the tale of a brave hero who fought bravely against foreign invaders, protecting the homeland.

Saint Giong is an extremely fascinating legendary story with mysterious and fantastical elements, yet it has a particularly captivating appeal. It not only expresses the great aspirations and secret desires of the people but also affirms the strength and love for the homeland of the Vietnamese people.

Starting the story, the birth of Saint Giong is truly strange and different from others. A couple who had long been childless couldn't conceive a child. When working in the fields, the wife saw a large footprint, she tried fitting her own foot into it and returned home pregnant. Later, she gave birth to a son who was extremely robust and chubby, but at the age of three, the child still couldn't speak or laugh.

However, the first words uttered by the child were not the usual calls for father or mother like other children. Those first words were a demand to go fight the enemy, demonstrating heroic spirit, patriotism, and a willingness to sacrifice for the cause, for the survival of the nation. After that special statement, Saint Giong grew up quickly and became a young man as fast as the wind, with a handsome, tall, and sturdy figure. Putting on armor, he mounted his horse, rushed to the battlefield, and plunged into the enemy ranks.

With just a stretch, from a three-year-old who couldn't speak or laugh, Saint Giong became a strong, brave young man like the godlike figure of a divine being. This demonstrates the age-old wish of our people: to have a talented hero always ready to come to the aid of the people, to bring peace, prosperity, and happiness to their lives.

Saint Giong donned his iron armor, mounted his horse, and wielded an iron rod onto the battlefield to confront the cruel foreign invaders. This was the action of a true hero with talent and unwavering courage. Wherever he went, the enemy forces were scattered, and upon seeing him, they bowed their heads and fled without daring to look back. He fought the enemy to the point where the iron rod in his hand broke in two, without any weapons left to fight, he pulled up clumps of bamboo to use as weapons against the enemy. This is another manifestation of the intelligence, quick wit, and courage of the hero. Thanks to that, the country was rid of the enemy's shadow, and the peaceful life of the people was fully restored.

After defeating the enemy, with no enemy troops left on the homeland, Saint Giong mounted his horse to the summit of Soc Son Mountain, looked back at his homeland one last time, and both he and his horse flew up to the sky. This demonstrates that he was not just an ordinary mortal but rather a child of heaven, sent down to help our people fight against foreign invaders.

Although this is just a story with many fantastical elements and no concrete evidence, the image of Saint Giong is a symbol of the willpower and determination of our people in the struggles to defend the independence of the nation and ensure the warmth and happiness of the people. Saint Giong is considered an immortal legend of a hero whom the Vietnamese people praise and love. For us, furthermore, Saint Giong is a shining example of courage, willpower, and fierce determination.

The legend of the hero Saint Giong is extremely intriguing, appealing, and has brought many meaningful lessons, from which we recognize the precious values ​​of modern life today. The tradition of patriotism, the spirit of fighting against foreign invaders, will always be the ideal for us to protect the peaceful, happy life that our ancestors have diligently preserved until today…

The legend of Saint Giong appeared since the time of the Hung Kings and has been passed down from generation to generation by our people until now.

This is one of the best legends describing the patriotism of our nation. The love for the country is a sacred feeling of each Vietnamese person. That sentiment has been nurtured for a long time, from ancient times. Our people love the country, so when there is an invasion, everyone wants to fight the enemy to save the country. And when standing up to defend the country, everyone feels as if they have grown up, become stronger. And when driving the enemy out of the land, people return to the life of those days. Saint Giong is the epitome of our people, the image of the first hero to fight the enemy in our country's history. The story unfolds in several main steps as follows: Saint Giong is born in a strange way; Saint Giong receives the call to fight the enemy and grows up miraculously fast; Saint Giong fights the enemy and when the enemy is defeated, he flies up to the sky in a strange way; The remaining traces until now.

In the past, our people believed that a hero had to be extraordinary, with talents like a deity, a person sent down by Heaven to help...

It was truly extraordinary, mysterious.

In fact, Giong was not a disabled child. For three years without speaking, Giong's first words were patriotic; still lying down, he demanded iron armor, iron horse, iron whip to fight the enemy! While waiting, he grew rapidly: 'No matter how much rice he ate, he was never full, the clothes he just put on became tight.' The folk sayings go: eating 'seven pots of rice with three pots of sauce'; drinking 'drinking in one breath, the water level in the river drops.' So Giong was also nurtured with rice, rice, the things that still sustain human life. Giong was not unfamiliar to the people.

Giong is the child of the people. Giong eats a lot, eats unusually strong to grow up quickly. It is urgent and important to save the country, so Giong is urged to grow up quickly. Giong's growth is not only his own effort but also thanks to the care of the whole people. Giong represents the strength of the community. Giong symbolizes the strength of the whole people.

When the messenger brought iron horses, iron whips, iron armor to the house, Giong 'rose up, stretched out one arm and became a hero taller than a staff, majestic and imposing. The people say: Giong's horse spewed fire, burning down the enemy's army; Giong's whip made the enemy die like grass, everyone followed Giong to fight the enemy - from officials to the people, from old to young, from men to women. When the iron whip broke, Giong pulled up bamboo by the road to fight the enemy. The bamboo of the homeland at that time also made contributions with people. Giong fought the enemy with the miraculous power of iron, with everything that the homeland bestowed.

With the enemy defeated, at the foot of Soc Mountain, Giong took off his iron armor, then 'both himself and the horse slowly flew up to the sky,' disappearing. It's strange and noble: Giong is a Saint so after defeating the enemy and saving lives, he must fly to the sky to be worthy. The king's title is 'Phu Dong Thien Vuong' which means Giong is a heavenly person. That's the ancient people's thinking, the ancient people's idea embodied in the artistic image of Saint Giong.

Until now, in Soc Son district (outskirts of Hanoi), there is still a temple of Saint Giong. The village festival - Giong Festival is held every year, people perform reenactments of the battles against the enemy in the past.

And even stranger, she carried the child for 12 months before giving birth. She gave birth to a handsome, noble boy. But the boy was also strange in that he never spoke, never laughed, didn't even know how to walk, just lay wherever he was placed. Giong's upbringing was simple but unusual.

When the messenger came in, the boy told the messenger and the king about the need for a 'iron horse, an iron whip, and an iron armor, I will break this enemy.' Both the mother and the messenger were extremely surprised. So, Giong's first words were a call to fight the enemy, a call for patriotism. This shows that when there is an invasion, everyone must respond to the call of the motherland, even a three-year-old child who doesn't know how to speak or laugh.

After meeting the messenger, Giong ate a lot, grew quickly, and the whole village contributed rice to help Giong's mother raise him.
