In April 1995, Dong Tai communal house was recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as a national historical relic. "... Legend has it that Dao Cong Bot, from An Bang, Hai Dong district, was a deputy mandarin during the 18th Hung King's reign, held the position of minister of Chau Hoan (Thanh Hoa), and was later assigned by the king to the palace. Thuong Hong (Hai Duong town) was a minister. During his time in Thuong Hong, he married a female scholar named Nguyen, daughter of a famous family in Kenh Trieu, Gia Phu district (now known as Thuong Hong). Gia Loc). About 3 years Then Thuong Hong suddenly had a big flood, the Minister and the people had to build high huts to avoid the water. During the flood, suddenly 3 eggs floated to the front of the minister's hut. Seeing that it was strange, he picked them up Those 3 eggs were then taken away. Not long after, there was a heavy rain, thunder and lightning, the 3 eggs exploded like thunder and the flood water suddenly drained away, half happy, half worried, thinking that the 3 eggs were gone That egg is unusual, please order The soldiers held a ceremony to sacrifice the three magical eggs.

All three sisters are handsome, handsome, with unusual appearances, gentle personalities, and excellent martial arts skills. In particular, Dao Cong Hai and Dao Cong Thong have the power and strength to be able to scale mountains, block rivers, and walk on water waves like walking on land. People here consider three saints to come to earth. After their parents passed away, the three Dao sisters built a restaurant at the beginning of Kenh Trieu village to make a living. At this time, the Thuc dynasty sent a large army to invade Van Lang country. King Due Vuong and his officials directly went out to fight the enemy, but because of that and their forces were not balanced, they both fought and retreated. Arriving at Hau Bong commune, Gia Loc district, it was late afternoon, and the king issued an edict for his soldiers and officials to set up camp to rest. That night, the king sat down at Quang Minh pagoda, Hau Bong general. In his sleep, the king saw a tall man with neat clothes and hat approaching and saying: "I have obeyed the Emperor's orders and told the army to meet talented people to destroy the enemy." When I suddenly woke up, it was a dream and next to me was a brocade with a few verses written on it: The Emperor came down to help the army/ Went to Kenh Trieu to meet the Saint/ Dao Thi's brother was the one who helped save the country. people". The king immediately sent his troops to Kenh Trieu, invited the three Dao sisters back for an audience, and then appointed Dao Cong Hai as the acting head of international China; Dao Cong Thong is the General of the Army. The two men accepted the position, commanded a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses, divided into many columns to attack the enemy station. In just one battle, the Thuc enemy was defeated, and the survivors scrambled to escape. The country returned to peace, all people lived peacefully...

On the way back, dark clouds suddenly appeared from somewhere, thunder and lightning were fierce, and in just a moment the two generals transformed into clouds and water. The king mourned the talented people and ordered the people here to build a temple and worship..."

Dau Pagoda.

Dau Pagoda has the Chinese name Sung Thien pagoda in Thi Duc village, Nhat Tan commune (Gia Loc). From afar, we saw a majestic pagoda appearing in the middle of a field along with a luxuriant area of ​​trees. The pagoda is located on a high land, with unique architecture, bearing a strong Buddhist imprint. Around the pagoda there are lotus ponds and the winding Han River. According to the family tree, Dau Pagoda worships the saintly lady Pham Trinh Hien with the name Tien Dung, a princess who had the merit of helping Hai Ba Trung fight against the Eastern Han invaders. In the year 40, the Trung sisters raised a flag to rebel against the Han Dynasty. Once marching to this land, the two women stationed a military camp here. At night, they dreamed that someone called Princess Tien Dung, vowing to fight the enemy. The next day, the two women led their troops to battle on the Han River and won a resounding victory. The Trung sisters let the generals and local people celebrate and then issued a decree for the villagers to build a temple to worship Tien Dung, with the beautiful title Dieu Quang Hue Tinh Y Pham Trinh Hien, wife of Thuong class god. Over time, people built this place into a majestic pagoda that both worships Buddha and saints. The ancient Dau Pagoda had a scale of more than 100 rooms. The date of the pagoda's construction has not been determined, but based on the traces of bricks and tiles found, it can be determined that the pagoda was built at the end of the Ly dynasty and the beginning of the Tran dynasty. However, due to war and natural disasters, up to now, Dau Pagoda has lost many ancient architectural items. Currently, the pagoda has a nail-style architecture including 5 front halls and 3 back halls. The pagoda's roof has many reliefs with beautiful patterns of clouds, sun, and moon. In the pagoda there are 12 statues, made of wood, lacquered and gilded. In addition to the system of ancient Buddha statues, the harem also has a large temple, made of wood, exquisitely carved, and inside there is a statue of Princess Tien Dung. The statue is carved in a sitting position, calm and with a kind face. According to local elders, the entire statue system in the temple is carved from mulberry wood. Legend has it that the Han River next to the pagoda often floods. One time, the water was high, the flood came from upstream, carrying a large raft of mulberry wood with golden fibers like silk. Everyone thought it was a good omen so they picked it up and used wood to carve it into a statue. From then on, the pagoda was called Dau Pagoda. When visiting Dau Pagoda, we see that this place still preserves many valuable artifacts such as 2 steles of the Le Dynasty, some pieces of terracotta towers, terracotta pieces with phoenix heads, terracotta dragon heads, and patterned bricks and tiles. dating from the 13th-14th centuries. The most unique and special is the Tran Dynasty stele arranged right in front of the pagoda yard. The stele was created in 1331. The content of the stele was composed by Venerable Hue Van, a monk here, with about 1,180 words. This is a unique work of sculpture art. The stele is about 1.5m high, placed on the back of a rather large stone turtle. The stele's roof is moderately curved, and the stele's body has a border carved with dragons and vine flowers. The stele's forehead is decorated with many vivid leaves and lotus flowers, close to nature. Prominent on the front of the stele is a large cursive engraving of Buddha. Below the word Buddha are carved two images, on one side is a crane standing with a burning candle on its head. On one side is a humanoid demon wearing an incense burner. At the foot of the stele are carved patterns of water waves and mountains. On the back of the stele are engraved three Chinese characters "Sung Thien Pagoda", below are written the full names of those who donated fields and money to repair the pagoda. Not only unique in architecture and festivals, Dau Pagoda is also one of the important "red addresses". Dau Pagoda is a place that marks many revolutionary events. Before the August Revolution of 1945, the Viet Minh Front had a meeting at the pagoda to discuss seizing power and destroying the rice warehouses of the Japanese enemy in Thanh Mien district to give to the poor. In 1945, when the French invaded Hai Duong town, the Provincial Lien Viet Association chose the pagoda as the place to evacuate. In 1945-1950, Tay Son soldiers of Gia Loc district chose the pagoda as the location to open training classes. From here, our troops spread out towards Route 17 and Route 20 to conduct ambushes against the enemy during the resistance war against the French during the period 1949-1953. In the years 1951-1952, cadres, guerrillas of Pham Kha and Lam Son communes and soldiers chose the pagoda as a base to cling to the people to destroy the enemy, and destroyed the villains in Chuong and Ba Dong markets. Currently in the temple there is still a secret vault from the previous period. Dau Pagoda is a place to worship both Buddha and saints. The pagoda's traditional festival is held on the 8th to 10th day of the 8th lunar month. On this occasion, people and tourists from all over come to attend in large numbers. With its unique architecture and value, the pagoda was ranked as a national monument in 1992. Source: Electronic information portal of Gia Loc district, Hai Duong province.

Especially during the Yen The uprising, the insurgent army led by Hoang Hoa Tham had a very close connection with Cao Thuong village and Cao Thuong communal house. Therefore, De Tham established a base on Yen Ngua mountain in the Cao Thuong communal house area. In 1890, the French colonialists learned that there were Mr. De's troops at Yen Ngua Mountain, so they organized a force to attack the insurgents. Defeated, they frantically burned down communal houses, pagodas and Yen Ngua mountain. During the second peace period between France and De Tham (1897-1909), De Tham helped people repair the communal house and rebuild the pagoda on the old pagoda's foundation. The historical evidence and heroic past of Cao Thuong communal house relics have been the pride of officials and people here. In addition to the unique architectural features and historical evidence, Cao Thuong Communal House is also known for its special market on the 2nd day of Tet every year, "Yin and Yang Market". According to the people of Cao Thuong village, Cao Thuong commune. (Tan Yen) is said to be special because the "Yin and Yang Market" only meets once a year, fixed on the 2nd day of Tet. People who go to the market are happy and mentally comfortable. They believe that it is an opportunity to do good and good deeds for the dead and their spiritual life will be more peaceful. With typical and unique values, Cao Thuong communal house was honored to be recognized by the Government as a special National Monument in 2012.
