The Mystery of the Chastity Stone Pillar – The Hanging Stone Pillar of Hà Giang – A Grim Relic of Sùng Chúa Đà ⛰️⚔️


The Mystery of the Chastity Stone Pillar

Hà Giang is not only famous for its majestic roads 🌄 and rustic villages 🏡 but also for its mysterious and thrilling legends. One of the most chilling is the Hanging Stone Pillar – a relic tied to a bloody past and haunting tales… 🩸😨

📜 The Legend of the Hanging Stone Pillar

According to legend, in the 18th century (over 200 years ago), in Đường Thượng, Yên Minh, Hà Giang, there was a notorious and cruel Mông lord – Sùng Chúa Đà. 👑⚔️

He enforced harsh laws and mercilessly punished those who committed adultery 💔, theft 🏴‍☠️, or simply defied him. To execute violators, he erected a giant stone pillar 🪨, where victims were hung and left to starve to death… 💀⚖️

🏛️ Today, this massive stone pillar (1.9m tall, weighing several tons) is displayed at the Hà Giang Museum, bearing an inscription:
“According to legend, in the 18th century, Sùng Chúa Đà used this stone pillar to punish those who violated his laws.”

Chastity Stone Pillar

🔍 A Unique Relic

📖 Historians have searched for evidence to verify this legend. A document by Lieutenant Biofacy (a French officer) mentions Sùng Chúa Đà as a “King of the Mông” 🏯, who built strong fortresses and raided villages, but does not reference the stone pillar.

👉 When researchers traveled to Đường Thượng, they found the stone pillar buried under a cornfield 🌽. Locals, believing there was gold inside, had broken parts of its base. 🚜🔨

💎 The pillar is meticulously crafted, featuring intricate carvings. Nearby, there is also a cylindrical stone resembling a male genital organ. Folklore suggests that Sùng Chúa Đà suffered from impotence, leading to blind jealousy. Anyone who merely glanced at his wife could face brutal punishment! 😵🔥

🛣️ Transporting the Stone Pillar to the Museum

🚚 Moving the pillar was no easy task. The rugged roads of Đường Thượng were treacherous 🌄, requiring heavy-duty trucks to haul it inch by inch. It took days, with assistance from the power company, to get the pillar onto a main road. 🏗️🚛

☠️ A Barbaric Execution Method

Several stories detail how the pillar was used for executions:

🔗 Victims were tied to the stone, with their hands inserted into two carved holes.
🥖 They were left to starve, with no food or water.
💀 It served as a terrifying punishment for adultery and theft.

🗣️ Mr. Hùng Đình Quý, former director of the Hà Giang Museum, shared:
“Upon becoming chieftain, he ordered the carving of this execution pillar to punish those he deemed traitors. There was no need for torture—victims simply withered away in agony.”

💭 Conclusion

📌 To this day, the Hanging Stone Pillar remains a mystery. Researchers continue to seek evidence to remove the words “According to legend” from the museum plaque and confirm the story as historical fact.
