Under the Ly dynasty, the altar was built in An Tho ward, Tho Xuong district, Thang Long capital. At this time, the lute was also known as Hoan Khau or Vien Khau. This is the flock established right after the Ly dynasty established the capital in Thang Long.

During the reign of King Le The Tong, after defeating the Mac Dynasty, the Le Trung Hung court returned to the capital Thang Long. According to the records on the epitaph, in September 1663, the court repaired the Chieu Su palace and restored the Nam Giao sacrifice rituals. Chieu Su Palace is now located near the road to the south of the Imperial City through the gate of Thinh An – the folk name is Cau Den.

Towards the end of Le Trung Hung’s reign, when the Trinh lord was in decline, King Le Chieu Thong burned the Trinh lord’s palace, causing the fire to spread throughout Thang Long, destroying many large architectural works and the Nam Giao flock gradually became desolate. .

In 1802, when King Gia Long ascended to the throne, the Nguyen Dynasty built the capital in Phu Xuan (Hue) and built an altar in An Ninh village in 1803, and in 1806 started construction of a new altar in the south of Hue citadel (Thua Thien Hue province). Thien – Hue today). At this time, Thang Long lost its role as the capital, was demoted to a town and then a province. Since then, the Nam Giao flock in Thang Long no longer holds sacrifices.
