According to legends still at the site, Hue Tri communal house worships Thien Nhan and Thien Khanh, who together with the Trung Sisters fought the enemy during the Eastern Han Dynasty (To Dinh - Ma Vien). Thien Nhan and Thien Khanh are the children of Mrs. Nha Nuong and the grandchildren of Mr. Nguyen Cong. Both women were born on January 7, year of the Tiger. Around 13 or 14 years old, Thien Nhan and Thien Khanh were very smart, well-educated, highly talented, exceptionally moral, and had great beauty. At the age of 17, her mother died, which was also the year Hai Ba Trung launched an army to attack To Dinh. Willing to be patriotic, Thien Nhan - Thien Khanh came to the Hai Ba Trung area and was drafted into the army, appointed princess of the left and right, and at the same time assigned to Thien Nhan and Thien Khanh to control the border areas of Hai Dong. , now Hai Hung land. Thien Nhan and Thien Khanh raised troops and fought bravely with Hai Ba Trung to defeat the To Dinh enemy. Returning victorious from the battle, Thien Nhan and Thien Khanh were awarded the title: "Introducing Princess". The Han Dynasty king again ordered the three generals of Ma Vien to send troops to attack our country, the Trung Sisters once again decided to live comfortably with the enemy. Thien Nhan and Thien Khanh were originally two female generals, so this time they also joined the army. But because the enemy was too strong, our army could not resist, Hai Ba Trung jumped into the Hat Giang River and committed suicide. Thien Nhan and Thien Khanh were also unable to resist and ran to Hue Tri Trang and died there. Every year there are two festivals. 1 is January 7, the birthday of two sisters Thien Nhan and Thien Khanh. The festival opens for many days, with a procession of gods from the communal house to the pagoda. 2 is the 10th - March of the spring festival.
