The genealogies of the two gods are now lost, but the villagers still tell the strange story about the doctor of Le Dynasty Tran Xuan Vinh. Legend has it that, after passing his doctorate, on the way back to visit his hometown by Chau River, his and his parents' boats capsized, the whole family drowned, and his body floated to Bai Nhot. People built a small temple to worship him. The temple is very sacred, so the villagers asked for incense sticks to build a temple to worship him as the tutelary god. Thus, according to legend and logical reasoning, the god Cao Mang of the Tran dynasty must have been worshiped before, and after having a temple to worship the doctor of the Le dynasty, a communal house was established to concubine these two gods.

The three main rooms are designed with ironwood like the front hall, although the carvings here are not as elaborate. Trieu Hoi Communal House is classified as a historical relic because it was here that a demonstration march to demonstrate the prestige of farmers in the area took place on October 20, 1930. This march aimed to mobilize the masses to fight for the abolition of the Cai Luong council, for a reduction in tax collection, to support the Nghe Tinh Soviet and the struggle of farmers in Tien Hai and Thai Binh. Bo De commune was chosen as the location of that protest because the Ha Nam Provincial Party Committee determined that not only was the movement stable, but it was also adjacent to three districts of Binh Luc, Ly Nhan, and My Loc, so it could focus on promoting prestige. The time of the protest was set for October 20 because that was the main session of 3 markets: Bo De, Thanh Thi and An Ninh. At exactly 7 a.m., the drums at the Trieu Hoi communal house rang out, the red hammer and sickle flag flew, and protesters posing as market goers began to stand in line. Under the direction of the Ha Nam Provincial Party Committee and Binh Luc District Party Committee, the protest group went to designated locations such as Diem Tong, Don market (An Ninh), Ba Hang (Thanh Thi), speaking and broadcasting while walking.

The protest group is increasingly crowded, starting from Bo De market with 300 people and reaching Vac market (An Ninh) to thousands of people. Faced with the overwhelming revolutionary spirit of the protest, the landowners, tycoons, and lackeys of the French colonialists were very frightened. At 12 noon, the leaders decided to hold a rally at Voc market and then disperse. The demonstration was a complete victory. The victory of the protest is an important political victory, having a great influence on the political struggle movement in the province and the whole country. This event was taken by leader Nguyen Ai Quoc as a proof of the spirit and revolutionary ability of Vietnamese farmers in his report to the International Farmers on November 5, 1931.

At around 10:00 a.m. on March 30, 1963, the US embassy on Ham Nghi Street was hit with explosives by the F21 Commando team, collapsing three floors: 1, 2, 3, so the US decided to rebuild it.

The main door is equipped with thick steel, the other doors are blocked by a special thick bulletproof layer. All doors use automatic systems, including iron doors blocking the way to the upper floors. Inside the building there are 140 rooms with 200 staff serving day and night. In addition, next to the building is also built an additional row of houses called the "Norodom" area exclusively for C.I.A. employees. When inaugurated, the building had only 3 floors.

Another equally humiliating event for the US Embassy was the chaotic escape that occurred on April 29 and 30, 1975 by the US and its accomplices. Faced with the rapid attack of the Vietnamese army and people in the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, over 1,000 Americans and more than 5,000 pro-American Vietnamese jostled, pushed, and kicked each other to compete for a place on the terrace of the building. building to be rescued by helicopter. This relic was granted a certificate of recognition by the Ministry of Culture on June 25, 1976.

Faced with the power of the insurgents and the masses, the soldiers in the Station no longer had the spirit to resist and fled in disarray. The insurgents completely occupied the inside of the station, but upstairs, the enemy still stubbornly used guns to shoot sporadically, at the same time calling Saigon and Thu Dau Mot for emergency help. Because he was eager to capture the name of Tho District, comrade Do Van Day climbed up to the upper floor of the Station by clinging to the gutter. Halfway up, he was hit by bullets, the comrade fell and died later. The battle was at a standstill when enemy reinforcements arrived. Unable to hold out, the insurgents withdrew from the town, dispersed to the villages, the armed forces withdrew to Ben Do hamlet (Tan Phu Trung) and then moved to My Hanh hamlet (Duc Hoa).
