Dac Nhon Communal House

Dac Nhon communal house is located in Dac Nhon village, Nhon Son commune, Ninh Son district, Ninh Thuan province. The communal house was built on a large, flat plot of land. In 1999, Dac Nhon Communal House was recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as a National Historical Site. According to the relics profile of the Ninh Thuan Provincial Museum, Dac Nhon communal house was built by a Chinese monk who came to Phan Rang in the 18th century named Venerable Lieu Minh - Duc Tang. When first built, Dac Nhon communal house was just a small temple named "Dak Nhon Tu Mieu". The mystery has existed for hundreds of years and no one can explain why the Dac Nhon communal house of the Vietnamese people worships King Po Klaong Garay of the Cham people? And the fact that King Po Klaong Garay of the Cham people became the royal god in the Vietnamese communal house is a very unique cultural exchange phenomenon. The people of Dac Nhon village still pass down the story that, in the past, the land they live in belonged to Champa. To show gratitude to the wise ancestors who cleared the wasteland and brought water to the fields, they worshiped him to pray for peace and prosperity, and in times of trouble, prayed for his blessing and protection. Through 6 generations of Nguyen Dynasty kings, Dac Nhon communal house was honored to be awarded 7 times from the reign of King Minh Mang (1840), to King Khai Dinh (1924). Among them, during the reign of King Thieu Tri, two awards were given. Thus, Dac Nhon communal house has a total of 8 ordinations. The content of the ordination papers said that the god emperor who was worshiped by the people at Dac Nhon communal house was named "Lac Phien Duong Than", also known to the people as King Lac. Architecturally, Dac Nhon communal house fully demonstrates the criteria of a traditional communal house. However, the architecture of Dac Nhon communal house has the appearance of a traditional Cham house consisting of 3 main rooms. In the main hall, there is a counter placed in the north-south direction, looking up at the ceiling is the ancient floor made of wooden planks woven together like the Lemlir curtain symbol symbolizing the sky in Cham culture or the Thang Sa symbol. Appears in the architecture of Po Klaong Garay temple tower, used to hang the Panil ceremony curtain when offering offerings in the temple tower. The traces and talented hands of the craftsman are still imprinted on the carvings and sculptures in the religious architectural work of Dac Nhon communal house, a living proof of Vietnamese - Cham cultural interference. The fact that a Cham king became a god emperor worshiped in a Vietnamese communal house is a strange and unique phenomenon that reflects the exchange and acculturation of Vietnamese - Cham culture. Vietnamese people worship King Po Klaong Garay with the name Lac Phien Duong god, who in folklore is called King Lac. At the same time, Vietnamese people also created more ideas about King Lac's origin from Cham people's fairy tales to suit Vietnamese concepts and thinking. When worshiping King Po Klaong Garay at the temple tower, Cham people offer goats and chickens. When adopting Cham culture, every year the offerings at Dac Nhon communal house always included a goat. Thus, the Vietnamese - Cham cultural borders in worshiping the gods and building houses further enrich the cultural value systems of the two nations. Source: Website of Cham Cultural Research Center

It is this beauty that has contributed to enhancing the beauty of Ca Du Mountain. With rocks piled up on top of each other and many large caves and nooks and crannies, Ca Du mountain is quite dangerous. Because of this terrain, in the early years of the Can Vuong movement, the insurgents chose Ca Du mountain as a base to fight against the French. Also from here, reconnaissance teams, armed forces and revolutionary cadres throughout the years of the resistance war against the US have stayed put to build bases and organize to eliminate traitors and traitors. Along with the revolutionary war zones at that time such as Bac Ai, Anh Dung, CK 7, 19, 35, Ca Du mountain base had a very important position in the middle of the temporarily occupied area, closest to the people and also closest to the enemy. , but the Ca Du base is inviolable. Although the enemy tried every way to destroy it, the enemy's raids, sieges, and counter-attacks were all repelled by the resistance troops clinging to Ca Du mountain. Through many years of holding on and enduring all hardships, the resistance forces in Ca Du mountain have maintained their faith in the revolution. Ca Du Mountain is a place where food cannot be produced, even drinking water needs to be supplied. Understanding this, the enemy used every trick to destroy all sources of supply from the people to the revolutionary forces. But with passionate patriotism and strong faith in the Revolution, the people in the area of ​​Dua hamlet, Du Khanh... were not afraid of hardships and sacrifices to find every way to supply food to the guerrillas. The enemy blocked the road, people transported by water through Dam Nai. It was the support of the people around the region that empowered the revolutionary cadres and created legends about the "outrageous" battles of the resistance forces. That evidence still remains in the memories of the people of Ninh Thuan province today. It is the historical significance of the revolution in the two resistance wars for national liberation that on April 16, 1999 - the anniversary of the liberation of Ninh Thuan, the Provincial People's Committee decided to recognize Ca Du Mountain as a relic. history of the province.
