These nine woks are Vietnamese showing THE finger to Chinese. From Chinese point of view, this is a challenge regarded as a declaration of war. They represent the deep root of Chinese tradition in Vietnam, and their determination of defiance against China.
The Tripod Wok was an ancient Chinese cookware. Nine tripod woks were an anicent symbol representing all nine states of anicent China. This is the symbol of Chinese Emperor, aka Heavenly Child. One heaven, one Heavenly Child. Back in those good old days, in China, the mere inquery of the specification of these wokes was considered sufficient evidence of treason punishable by death of all members of all extended families of the offender.
Consider the depth of the knowledge of Chinese culture shown at the entrance of the palace, these nine wokes is an unmistakable sign of defiance to China. They send a loud and clear message of "Bite Me!"

九鼎是天子的規格。問鼎就已經代表有反意了，越南把九鼎都鑄好了，根本就是在向中國挑釁說：「咬我啊！」
