Huong Canh communal house

Huong Canh communal house

Huong Canh was originally the name of a commune of An Lang district, Son Tay town in the Later Le dynasty, then was taken as the general name of the Nguyen dynasty and the name of today's town - Huong Canh town (in Binh Xuyen district, Vinh Phuc province). According to folklore, Huong Canh is also called Tam Canh because this is the common name of three Canh villages including: Huong Canh, Ngoc Canh, Tien Canh. The place name Huong Canh also has the ancient name Ke Canh. This name comes from the local rice variety, which has two pointed rays on both sides of the grain. People call those two sharp rays WINGS and the grain of rice is called WINGS, taking the word WING as the name of the village. Initially, there was only one Huong Canh village here. Gradually, the population grew and the village was separated and named Ngoc Canh - a place with Gie Canh rice, rice grains as beautiful as pearls. Finally, when both villages Huong Canh (fragrant Canh rice) and Ngoc Canh (beautiful Canh rice) were densely populated, they expanded to the West and Northwest with another village and took the name Tien Canh, meaning "rice". Early wings”. Three communal houses in the three villages of Huong Canh, Ngoc Canh and Tien Canh are all ranked as national historical and cultural relics and are currently in the process of preparing documents to request special national ranking. The communal houses are located 50m to 100m apart, forming a monumental relic complex, adjacent to National Highway 2A, convenient for sightseeing, tourism and pilgrimage. Regarding the gods worshiped, according to local people's legend, after defeating the invading Southern Han army, Ngo Quyen became king and established the capital in Co Loa (now in Hanoi). The country was independent and at peace, but Ngo Quyen still did not forget to be vigilant and train soldiers and horses to prevent enemies. At that time, hunting was also a form of exercise, so once Ngo Quyen sent his two children, Ngo Xuong Ngap and Ngo Xuong Van, along with his close general Do Canh Thac, to bring troops to conduct an exercise in the form of hunting. They marched through Huong Canh, camped at a mound in the middle of the field, the people called Go Ngu. To record the sacred mark and pay tribute to the heroes of the Ngo Dynasty, the people of Huong Canh built a temple in Go Ngu to worship them, according to the concept of "life is a general, death is a god" (living is a good general - death is sacred). During the Later Le Dynasty, the people of the three villages of Huong Canh, Ngoc Canh and Tien Canh built a communal house in each village, took the sacred names to worship at the communal house and held festivals and offerings every year like today. 1. Huong Canh Communal House Formed the earliest, Huong Canh village built its communal house before the other two villages. Although not larger than Ngoc Canh communal house and Tien Canh communal house, Huong Canh communal house is crafted and shows more decoration and carving. The communal house is located in the south of Huong Canh town, the facade faces southwest, overlooking Diem Lang lake, the river arena and Cau Treo river. Through time and the ups and downs of history, for nearly 300 years Huong Canh communal house still stands there as if challenging the sun and rain, fighting with nature with its massive, graceful roof. The communal house's roof is covered with funny-nosed tiles, arranged in an orderly manner in the style of dragon-scale screws, very tight and beautifully flat. The roof of the communal house is built straight and the tips of the blades are curved. The entire roof of the communal house looks like a giant kite moving, about to fly into the air. 2. Ngoc Canh Communal House was built in the Later Le Dynasty and restored in the early Nguyen Dynasty. On the first sentence in Ngoc Canh communal house, there are two embossed words: "Twenty years in Gia Long, ten years in Quy Dau, ten moons, twenty-six days in old Thuong Luong, restoring earth and wood Giap Tuat years, five moons , the fifteenth day is completed, peace and prosperity are great." (Meaning: The 12th year of Gia Long is the year of the Rooster, on October 26, erect the roof tree as before. Repair the wood and door in the year of Giap Tuat. Complete on May 15, hoping for good harmony). According to the solar calendar, Quy Dau is in 1813 and Giap Tuat is in 1814, the restoration lasted 7 months. The second first sentence engraved is: "The year of Minh Menh, the year of Canh Thin, six moons, ten days, starting the golden cycle jewelry, ten months, ten days, completed great auspicious and prosperous" (Meaning: The first year of Minh Menh was the year of Canh Thin, construction started on June 11, painted golden, and completed on October 10, wishing good luck and prosperity. According to the solar calendar, Canh Thin is the year 1820, the first year of Minh Menh. The decoration lasted 4 months. 3. Tien Canh communal house was built last, but Tien Canh communal house is larger in scale than Ngoc Canh and Huong Canh communal houses. Regarding the construction date, when Thuong Luong's back house was dismantled for restoration, the engravings were still clearly clear: "Canh Hung thirty-seven years, five years Binh Than, twelve moons, twenty-two days, zodiac time, Receiving a high salary, great benefits and prosperity" (Meaning: Canh Hung year 37, year Binh Than, December, day 22, zodiac hour, building a roof tree is very auspicious, brings much prosperity). According to the solar calendar, the year Binh Than is 1776. So the communal house's back house was built 300 years ago (2022). The old first sentence of the great bow is engraved "Year of the Goat, ten months of At Hoi, twenty days of Dinh Mui, At Ty of the year, the great worship of Thu Thuong Luong" (Meaning: Year of the Goat, October of At Hoi, day 20 Dinh Mui, 10 a.m. At Ty, build a tree on the roof of the house to worship). Thus, the Tien Canh communal house was built in the 8th Canh Thinh era, Tay Son Nguyen Quang Toan dynasty - 1799, 223 years ago (2022), 23 years after the post house. These are three typical ancient communal houses of Northern communal house architectural art, built around the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The architectural and artistic relic of Huong Canh communal house cluster was recognized as a special national monument on December 29, 2022 by the Prime Minister.
