Legend has it that during the feudal war between the Le and Mac dynasties, the Mac generals were defeated, fled to Puong Cave, and committed suicide there. Deeply moved by their loyalty, local residents built a temple to honor the Mac clan; however, fearing retribution if discovered by Le imperial troops, they renamed it An Ma Temple. In the Tay language, "An Ma" means "peaceful resting place", the final resting place of the loyal Mac officials.
