LOWER DINH, UPPER DINH THUONG

Lower communal house and Upper communal house belong to Tu Nhien commune, Thuong Tin district, Hanoi city. According to legend, the remaining divine genealogies and ordinations, the two communal houses worship Chu Dong Tu (one of the four immortals of the Vietnamese people) and his two wives, Princess Tien Dung and Hong Van. After Princess Tien Dung married Chu Dong Tu, the two learned magic to cure diseases and save people, and together with the villagers, renovated and expanded the land, planted crops, and raised livestock to establish a prosperous village. When King Hung heard the news, he was angry and ordered his soldiers to take him back to the court to punish him. Knowing that news, Chu Dong Tu and Tien Dung magically flew back to heaven, carrying with them Hong Van of Tu Nhien land. The people were grateful and built a temple. The Upper Communal House and the Lower Communal House are two parallel architectural works, with similar dates, built in the Later Le Dynasty; embellished and renovated to make the Harem Palace at the end of the Nguyen Dynasty. The difference is that the Thuong Dai Pagoda does not have the legend "Mother Dragon" but has the legend "Doc Dragon". The Upper Communal House has 69 ordinations, 3 more than the Lower Communal House. Tu Nhien village's festival takes place on the 1st day of the 4th month (lunar calendar). On this day, the villagers organize a Long Ngu procession including 07 palanquins of three communal houses: Upper communal house, Lower communal house, Thuy tribe communal house to recreate the love story thousands of years ago of Chu Dong Tu and Tien Dung. Both communal houses are ranked as national relics: Ha Communal House was ranked in 1988, Thuong Communal House was ranked in 2002.
