In case you wonder why the symbol is a tortoise holding a sword, it is because of the legend that after Le Loi liberated his country, he took a boat trip on Hoan Kiem lake, where the holy tortoise showed up, so the king handed over the holy sword that he obtained during the war. The holy tortoise grabbed the holy sword and dived down. Thus, the lake today is known as Ho Guom (Sword Lake).
