According to the legend, on January 7, Fairy Au Co descended to earth, met and married to Lac Long Quan, then gave birth to a sac of a hundred eggs that finally hatched into a hundred sons, origin of the Lac Hong race. Mother Au Co made a great merit of teaching the local people to grow mulberries, raise silkworms, and weave fabrics, help them reclaim land and establish hamlets, making the rich and densely populated areas... When the residences were stabilized, the people knew how to do agriculture for living, Mother Au Co flew to heaven with the fellow fairies. Since then, every year people take December 25 as the day “Fairy’s ascending” and January 7 as the day “Fairy’s descending”.
