Ha Thai communal house, Duyen Thai commune, Thuong Tin district has bold architectural features of the Northern Delta with banyan trees, water wharf, and communal house yard. This is the place to worship the two village tutelary gods, the military mandarin of Le Bui Si Luong's reign and Mrs. Dinh Thi Trach (also known as Mrs. Lay) who sacrificed her life to let the villagers escape the disaster to pay tribute. The genealogy records that: previously this land was desolate, overgrown with trees and sparsely populated. At that time, there was a ferocious tiger in the forest, called the wolf tiger by the villagers, who often came to capture people and livestock to eat. Unable to capture this mature tiger, the villagers had to pay tribute to the tiger every year on November 10. In the village, there was Mrs. Lay, a woman without a husband or children. Understanding the pain and loss of the villagers, she voluntarily offered herself to the tiger with the hope that this tribute would stop. Her prayer before heaven and earth seemed sacred and fulfilled, because since November 10 of that year when the tiger came to pounce on Ms. Oi and took her away, people have no longer seen the tiger return to harass her. To commemorate her merits, the people built a shrine. She was later honored as the village's tutelary god and that shrine became Ha Thai village communal house and took November 10 every year as the traditional village festival. Ha Thai village communal house is also related to the military mandarin during the reign of Le Bui Si Luong (1544-1597), he held the position of Grand Master and Commander of the Palace. As a man of excellent literary and military intelligence, he had great contributions in defending Le and destroying Mac. When he came to Ha Thai, realizing that this land had the power of dragons worshiping tigers, he chose Ha Thai to establish a family home and teach people to start a business, so after his death, he was also honored as the village's Tutelary God. Ha Thai village festival takes place from the 9th to the 11th of the 11th lunar month every year and attracts a large number of tourists from all over. Source Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports.

During his life as a mandarin, he held the position of Academician, concurrently the position of Deputy Thai, and teacher of Le Thanh Tong when he was young. When King Le Thanh Tong went to fight the Champa invaders, he sent Nguyen Phuc to command the transportation of military provisions. During the sea transport, there was a storm and the military supplies arrived one day late, so they were punished by death according to military law. Because he had military provisions, the king defeated the Champa army. When he returned to discuss the reward, King Le Thanh Tong vindicated Nguyen Phuc and bestowed upon him the title Minh Lang Dai Vuong, protector of the country and people, protector of the country, and at the same time, decreed 72 places of worship.

The dragon's face in the middle is placed on the back of the saddle, with a wide mouth, flat nose and raised forehead. What remains at La Phu communal house, although not much, has contributed to providing material for art research.

Huyen Thien Quan Pagoda was originally a Taoist pagoda, then converted into a pagoda at the end of the Le Dynasty, currently at 54 Hang Khoai Street. Legend has it that Huyen Thien restaurant was established during the Ly dynasty and soon became famous as one of the "Thang Long Tu restaurants" of Taoism (the other three restaurants include: De Thich restaurant, now King pagoda on Thinh Yen street; Chan Vu restaurant, ie Quan Thanh Temple on Quan Thanh Street; Dong Thien Quan, now Kim Co Pagoda on Duong Thanh Street). At the end of the Le Dynasty, Taoism declined, the shop was converted into a pagoda. The project was renovated and repaired many times and had its architecture shaped since the end of the Nguyen Dynasty in Huyen Thien village, Hau Tuc district, Tho Xuong district. There are two major holidays here on March 3 and September 9 of the lunar calendar every year. Quan Huyen Thien was originally a place to worship Huyen Thien God, the northern god worshiped at Quan Thanh temple. This worship practice appeared in our country since the Northern colonial period. In the shop there is a statue of him made of agarwood. When Taoism declined and Buddhism flourished, the villagers brought the Buddha statue to worship together, and from then on it was also known as Quan Huyen Thien Pagoda or Huyen Thien Temple. The epitaph "Light up Huyen Thien bi minh" in the 10th year of Vinh To clearly states "...This belongs to Dong Xuan ward, Tho Xuong district, Phung Thien... the name is Huyen Thien ancient restaurant... The east side touches the white Nhi Ha river , the west looks to the blue Tan mountain, the south has the bridge (Ha Kieu) and the north has Hong Phuc pagoda, what a wonderful place... The restaurant dates back to the Le Dynasty in the 7th year of Thieu Binh (1439). The stele also says that at that time (in 1628), there were 13 rooms to worship Buddha, Mother Goddess and Huyen Thien. The stele built in the 6th year of Canh Tri (1668) under the reign of King Le Huyen Tong records: The restaurant was decorated with statues, restored three gates, bell tower, corridor, incense burner, upper palace, similar to the style of large pagodas of the Tran dynasty. -Pear. In addition, they were able to "cast a new bell and engrave the book "Holy Taoism and Classics", all four volumes kept at the village. This large-scale restoration was issued by Lord Trinh himself, so there were concubines in the lord's palace and mandarins in the court who contributed merit. In the 1st year of Canh Thinh (1793) during the Tay Son period, the pagoda was restored and the bell was cast. During the Nguyen Dynasty, the pagoda built 7 more back houses in the 21st year of Tu Duc (1868). In the early 20th century, when the French colonialists filled in the lake and expanded the streets, the pagoda shrank. In the 5th year of Bao Dai's reign (1930), most of the pagoda's buildings were rebuilt and shaped into their present form. In the days of resistance in early 1947, the pagoda was destroyed and the statue of Huyen Thien was burned. In 1948, local people and visitors from abroad donated to restore the pagoda according to the old layout of "domestic Cong, foreign nationality". From the outside, it includes the Nghi Mon gate, the bell tower, through the yard to two stele houses, two ancient wells and a 7-compartment worship house built in a gazebo style with 2 floors and 8 roofs, where the god Huyen Thien is worshiped. The incense burner runs along like an upper palace, connecting with two horizontal houses behind. Adjacent to the two gables are two corridors, now used as guest houses. In 2014, the pagoda was restored again after many years of encroachment and degradation. On both sides of the front yard of the worship house, there are 2 large stone stele placed in the stele house. The ancient stele bearing the 6th year of Canh Tri (1668) has a broken surface, many words are no longer there. The Arabic version was printed by the Academy of the Far East before 1945, and is currently kept at the Institute of Sino-Nom Studies. The stele shows the architectural scale of the pagoda at that time and many other information. In addition, there are 40 different large and small steles engraved with Han Nom characters on the walls along both sides of the hall and main hall. There is an article describing the bell weighing 500kg, 1m60 high, cast in the 1st year of Canh Thinh (1793) hanging in the bell tower behind the gate.

Vo Vi is an ancient pagoda built in 968. Although it has a history of more than 6 centuries, Vo Vi pagoda is not known to many people, and around the pagoda is often quiet and peaceful. About 25 km from the center of Hanoi, Vo Vi Pagoda is located on a rocky mountain about 300 m high, surrounded by trees and lakes. The pagoda is surrounded by dozens of tall, rough frangipani trees, casting a shadow that obscures the entire small pagoda. During the blooming season, the scent of flowers lingers as if leading people into a place of leisure and pleasure, the space is as quiet as space. Legend has it that Vo Vi is an ancient pagoda built in 968. During the Early Le Dynasty, the pagoda was built at the foot of Mount Trao (980-1004) and was called Phuc Tru Tu. During the Tran Dynasty, the pagoda was built on the back of the mountain called Trai Tinh Tu. During the Later Le Dynasty, the 6th year of Hong Thuan (1514), the pagoda moved to near the top of the mountain like today, and changed its name to Vo Vi Tu as in the Dinh Dynasty. Vo Vi Pagoda is associated with general Tran Van Tang, who became a monk at a young age. After fighting against internal and external enemies, he went to Vo Vi mountain to build a temple in hiding. As a person imbued with Taoist ideology, he named the pagoda Vo Vi with the spirit expressed in the poem "Duplicate Vo Vi Tu" composed by himself and engraved on stone. Stepping through the arch of the gate with three Chinese characters "Vo Vi Tu", a small road with stone steps takes visitors to the front hall, model house, and then the main hall. Only about a few hundred steps, but the path to Vo Vi pagoda is not too easy, the higher you go, the narrower and steeper it gets. Unlike the usual large-scale pagodas, Vo Vi Pagoda is more than 10 square meters wide, the design does not follow the usual rules of Dinh shape or foreign Noi Cong, but is only modest with a single compartment and tiled roof. Comedy nose with simple columns and small beams of wood and stone. In the temple, there are only the Three Jewels and statues of Buddha and saints. On both sides are two majestic Dharma Protectors. On the side of the church is a small, craggy path along the mountain. The space behind opens to a small floor designed with a curved roof, bricks, and many pillars, like a meditation place for monks. Right next to it is Vo Vi mountain with Nghenh Phong pavilion at the top, where there is also a small bell cast in 1814. Next to the side of the pagoda is a small path that can only fit one person, leading to Nghenh Phong floor. Looking down from above, the layers of roofs skillfully alternate like a link between Vo Vi Pagoda and this attic for centuries. A special feature of Nghenh Phong floor is that on the top of the roof there is a yin and yang image of Lac Viet inside the eight trigrams. This image is drawn on two halves of pink bricks assembled so that from this central point, the beams, columns, and rafters radiate down according to strict architectural rules. The yin and yang image of Lac Viet is the pride of the cultural identity of the Vietnamese people, a small motif but strong enough to affirm the nationality and independence of Vietnamese culture, and cannot be mixed with any other culture. transformed. From Nghenh Phong tower, to reach the highest peak of Vo Vi mountain, visitors must climb about twenty steep stone steps and crawl through narrow rock crevices to reach the top. Around Vo Vi Mountain is a peaceful village scene. In the middle of empty air, the temple bell suddenly rang, making people's hearts flutter and reflect on the philosophy of "no action" for which the Taoist named the temple.
