The act of giving letters at the Temple of Literature is rooted in the tradition of studiousness from ancient times. Before each important exam, students often come here to ask for words like "Thuan Khoa" (approval), "Dang Khoa" (registration), and "Do Dat" (pass).
Today, asking for letters and offering at the Temple of Literature before each exam still help to create a spiritual fulcrum for the students./.
