For a long time, Bac Giang has been known as the " A sacred land of great people". Here, so many talented people were born, they made great contributions to people and the country.

Bắc Giang is the homeland of 58  graduates who were awarded the doctoral degree in the feudal time. They all had their names engraved on stone steles at the Văn Miếu-Quốc Tử Giám,  at the Văn Miếu in Bắc Ninh; and at the local temples. Their names are also kept in many other historical records. Their lives and careers always interest researchers. They are good examples for the tradition of studiousness and competion-examinations in Bắc Giang. More than 20  discoursed presented by researchers, leaders, managers of centres from provinces focused on discussing the traditional competition-examinations of Bac Giang province; famous scholars whose names were engraved on stone steles at the Văn Miếu-Quốc Tử Giám in Hanoi.
