Decorative themes in the communal house are quite diverse, most of the classical motifs are used and have a profound philosophical nature such as: "Four Spirits": Dragon symbolizes power, Lan symbolizes the desire for Thai Binh, Quy not only symbolizes endurance and long life, it is also conceived as a union in the relationship between heaven and earth. Mother, Phung represents the eternal desire of the Vietnamese people in their relationship with the gods. With the eight treasures theme, there is the Sun Flower (heaven) symbolizing the sacred place where the gods reside. The sword represents the power of martial artists to eliminate evil and demons. Fan figs to eliminate evil spirits. The altar represents the nobility of the Taoist. The wine gourd symbolizes Ly Thiet Quai's search for "forgetfulness" to escape the evil bonds of life and the Nhu Y stick represents power... Over the past 100 years, due to the impact of nature, Dinh has built through many renovations. During those renovations, due to limited awareness, some architecture such as the East house and West house were completely renewed on the old foundation, but basically the main hall and the Tien Hien house still retained the original elements. so it still does not lose the majestic, ancient appearance of the communal house.
