On December 4, 2009, Van Son Pagoda was recognized as a historical relic and scenic spot of Ba Ria province - V\u0169ng T\u00e0u, and was officially called by this name. According to local sources, Van Son Pagoda was established in 1964 under the initiative of Venerable Thich Tam Giac. Initially, the pagoda was just a small hermitage, built to pray for the heroes and soldiers who died in C\u00f4n \u0110\u1ea3o. The name &quot;Van Son&quot; was associated with this time and became the official name since its establishment.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Source:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cVan Son Tu\u201d is the name given right after the pagoda was founded in 1964. According to Ba Ria newspaper \u2013 V\u0169ng T\u00e0u, \u201cVan Son Tu was established in 1964, under the movement of the late Venerable Thich Tam Giac\u201d.

After 1975, the pagoda continued to be used by the people with this name in religious activities. The popular name \u201cChua Nui Mot\u201d existed alongside the official name.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Meaning:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In Chinese, \u201cVan\u201d (\u96f2) means \u201ccloud\u201d, \u201cSon\u201d (\u5c71) means \u201cmountain\u201d. Therefore, \u201cVan Son Tu\u201d can be understood as \u201cCloud Mountain Pagoda\u201d \u2013 evoking the image of a pagoda located high on the top of a mountain, where clouds and mist cover it. This name carries a solemn and pure nuance in Vietnamese Buddhist culture. It emphasizes the combination of natural scenery (mountains, clouds and sky) with the sacred spirit of the pagoda.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cultural and historical context:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Van Son Tu is the only pagoda in C\u00f4n \u0110\u1ea3o, so this name has become a spiritual symbol of the island region. Although C\u00f4n \u0110\u1ea3o was previously called &quot;hell on earth&quot; because of the prison, the name &quot;Van Son&quot; (cloud mountain) represents the people&#039;s desire for peace and kindness after many ups and downs.
