This pavilion, built in 1819, was included in the Emperor's list of the capital's twenty most beautiful sites.
Construction began in 1819, during the reign of Gia Long. Emperor Minh Mang assigned it the function of the Edict Pavilion. From 1821, the list of winners of mandarin competitions was read out here.
