Tan Hoa Communal House

Tan Hoa communal house is located in Vinh Binh district, Dinh Vien Phu, now located in Tan Hung hamlet, Tan Hoa commune, Vinh Long city. Tan Hoa Communal House is located on the banks of the Tien River, facing the Cai Doi canal, so locals call it Cai Doi Communal House. This is an architectural work that is both artistic and marks a time when Vietnamese immigrants came here to reclaim land and establish a hamlet. In 1998, Tan Hoa communal house was recognized as a national "historical-cultural" relic. Tan Hoa communal house was built around the mid-18th century. Today, there is no document proving the date of the first construction of the communal house, but today, Tan Hoa communal house still retains many artifacts such as the sacrificial poem to Thanh Hoang Dai. Vuong - a religious mark dating back to the 18th century... Most notably, the communal house also has an ancient signboard engraved with the three words Tan Hoa Dinh in the style of a seal made in the year Mau Ngo (1798), of great size, proving that at that time, The scale of Tan Hoa communal house is not small. Around the reign of Thieu Tri (1841 - 1847), the name of Tan Hoa village due to the same name as Queen Mother Ho Thi Hoa (wife of King Minh Mang, mother of King Thieu Tri) was changed to Tan Hoa. On November 29, the fifth year of Tu Duc (January 8, 1853), Tan Hoa village as well as many other villages in the region were simultaneously awarded the title of Thanh Hoang God. However, this precious document did not last long. In 1862, the French expeditionary force opened fire to annex the Southeast provinces and Vinh Long province, and the Tan Hoa deity was destroyed. Therefore, when implementing the 1862 Treaty, Vinh Long province was returned to the Hue court, the current government quickly reported and the Ministry of Rites quickly re-issued a copy of this imperial decree to Tan Hoa village. In the early stages of the French colonial period, Tan Hoa village merged with Tan Hoi and Tan Nhon villages, taking the new name Tan Hoa. Therefore, in the year of Canh Tuat (1910), Tan Hoa communal house was restored and named "Tan Hoa spiritual temple". Tan Hoa Communal House consists of six roofs made in a stacked style, giving the appearance of a Southern village communal house but also has its own unique features. The main hall is a four-pillar house, expanded to four sides by punching rafters and eight decisive rafters. Other houses such as martial arts, martial arts, rear hall... are all made in the style of three rooms and two wings. The communal house's foundation was built of split stone, but the later restoration built a surrounding brick wall and could not hide the artistic mark of that time, the French patterns on the top of the columns outside the front porch. The communal house's roof is covered with yin and yang tiles, connected by a gutter system. The ridges and roofs are built high and decorated with many ceramic decorations such as dragon tureens with pearl paintings, fish transforming into dragons, phoenix jaws, dragon rings, eight fairies, Mr. Sun and Mrs. Moon. In Tan Hoa communal house, there are still dozens of sets of blue envelopes, dozens of horizontal panels, couplets, many symbols such as burners, burners, tops, incense burners, altars... Every year, there are holidays at Tan Hoa communal house. : - Thuong Dien Festival is on the 11th and 12th day of the 9th lunar month. - In particular, Tan Hoa communal house still retains the tradition of Than Thanh Hoang, which means the Ky Yen (old) day when the communal house was first established, before being standardized by the Nguyen Dynasty. - But the biggest holiday of this communal house is Ha Dien - Ky Yen day, from 11 to 13 of the third lunar month every year. Tan Hoa Communal House is an artistic architectural work, testament to a rather long historical period. Through many ups and downs since our ancestors began to reclaim hamlets and establish villages, however, no matter the circumstances, our ancestors still tried to preserve cultural heritage. Therefore, Tan Hoa communal house was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information as a historical-cultural relic in 1998.
