Dinh Yen Communal House

Dinh Yen Communal House

Dinh Yen communal house was built in the year of Canh Tuat 1909, located in An Loi A hamlet, Dinh Yen commune, Lap Vo district - Dong Thap. Local legend has it that: in the past, there was Mr. Pham Van An who was the first person to choose this place to reclaim land and establish a hamlet to settle down. To pay tribute to those who came before, the people here took his name and combined it with the word Dinh and named the village Dinh Yen (because they avoided calling the name An), hence the name Dinh Dinh Yen. The communal house is built in the style of domestic and foreign countries, with walls built with wooden columns, roofed with large tube tiles, flags, rafters and columns carved with clever and beautiful dragon head patterns. Parallel sentences and bamboo tureens are decorated with conch, carved with dragon-shaped fish, two dragons, painted with pearls, lotus, peonies... lacquered and gilded. The landscape paintings and frescoes have sharp lines, praising the country's people for literature, martial arts, wisdom, and virtue. In front of the communal house's spacious cement-floored yard with fragrant flower beds, rows of ancient poplar trees, oil trees, and tall stars swaying in the wind, evoking the scene of the old people still here somewhere. The inside and outside are skillfully arranged in harmony and balance, making the architectural work truly magnificent and splendid. At the communal house (main hall) on a high platform worship the god Thanh Hoang Bon Canh. Both sides of the ceiling are solemnly decorated with dragons, unicorns, tortoises, phoenixes, cranes, god thrones, incense burners, ashes, parasols... On both sides of the altar, the left and right sides are arranged to worship the ancestors of the communal house. . Every year on the 16th - 17th day of April and the 15th - 16th day of the 11th lunar month, the communal house worship ceremony takes place solemnly with full rituals such as: cavalry team, lion team, soldiers, students, drums, etc. gongs, ceremonial music... Coming to Dinh Yen communal house with reverence and remembering the merits of the ancients to their homeland, only then can we understand the word "God". That is the heroic spirit of the ancestors as if still mixed in the incense and smoke, always protecting many people and existing eternally in the hearts of the People. Source: Dong Thap Tourism
