The story of the hundreds of years old communal house in Ngam Luong village, Lang Ngam commune, Gia Binh district, Bac Ninh province that we talk about below is an example to prove that. Ngam Luong village, Lang Ngam commune (formerly named Ngam Dien) is located adjacent to the Thien Thai mountain range, and is the meeting place of many transitional geo-cultural circuits. In the area, there is Duong River hugging the West and Northwest. Along with that is the ancient road route, now the Duong River dyke. That river route and ancient road form an East-West connection between the Thai Binh and Red River basins. Lang Ngam is also located on the western bank of the Luc Dau Giang area, where the high mountains and low hills in the North end; The place where the Thuong River, Cau River, and Luc Dau River converge, opening up the delta and down to the East Sea. Those river routes are important traffic arteries in transporting ancient Vietnamese residents along with the country's economic, historical and cultural elements back to Lang Ngam; And from here - thanks to these special bloodlines - it continues to spread out, integrating with the country in all fields. That has made Ngam Luong - Lang Ngam countryside - since ancient times - a place to both witness and directly contribute to the creation of many unique cultural histories of the homeland and the country. Located at the beginning of the village, looking to the Southeast, Ngam Luong village communal house is in a beautiful feng shui position. In front of the road is a lake with water, the village road curves around, and in the distance is fertile countryside. On both sides are villages and fields. Behind the communal house is a great dike and the Duong river like a strip of noise surrounding it. Perhaps the village and communal house are located by the river, but when the ancients built the communal house, they worshiped the three Water Gods as tutelary gods. The water gods are considered to be figures with a decisive role, directly influencing the thinking, daily life and production of agricultural residents who have grown wet rice since early times. Currently, their records in the locality have been lost for a long time, so it is unclear what their merits were. But in the pavilion, there are still Chinese characters recording their names: First Five Six Shows Improvising Linh Hon Than, Second Trung Thien heroically heroic and strategic Hon Than, and Third Chan Nhi Thong Rui Mat. attain godhood. Ngam Luong village communal house has quite a large scale, containing many unique values of history, cultural beliefs and architecture - art.

Inside are two Dance Strips, each side has 4 compartments. Next is the Great Court and the Harem. Over time and war, some works such as Tam Quan and Dai Vu of the relic site were demolished. In 1962, the wooden floor in Dai Dinh was also removed to make tables and chairs. Later, the villagers repaired the outer garden, built walls and gates, and redid the three gates; Gather enough remaining floorboards to fit the floor on one side of the house. Currently, when villages are gathered together, houses are spacious; The communal house, which was originally large and imposing compared to the people's houses in the past, is now somewhat less massive; But the spiritual value and historical and cultural value are multiplied over time.

The main columns in the front and back horizontal rows of the three main halls all have column ears. That is the worker who sawed the top of the column into a wide frame, then brought the wooden slab down to spread out on both sides of the top of the column, below was the support arm, and on top was a dowel attached to support the upper beam. Thanks to this structure, the column ears are always in a stable position. It is these pillars that the craftsmen have turned into works of art with embossed techniques and rich themes, bringing the bustling breath of life. The rear palace is in the style of a mallet, consisting of 5 architectural compartments in the style of a row, surrounded by bricks, the axis is 11.5m long, 8m wide.

Dong Lan Pagoda located in Hung Dao commune (City) is a pagoda with a long history, built during the Le - Mac dynasties. The pagoda was recognized as a provincial cultural and historical relic in 1997. Dong Lan Pagoda is located on Dong Lan mound (Doong Lan in Tay language), in the northwest of Cao Bang city. The origin of the name "Dong Lan" has many hypotheses, associated with historical stories through many periods such as the story of Thuc Phan organizing the contest "Nine lords fighting for the king" (there are many other place names associated with this story such as : Tong Chup field, banyan tree in Cao Binh, stone clogs in Ban Thanh, upturned boat in Khau Lua). Dong Lan is the place where the lord went to get the bronze drums. He came back tired and fell asleep. Rats bit the drum strings. The drums rolled down the hill and echoed throughout the whole area. The other lords thought the lord who went to get the drums had won, so they abandoned the competition, so no one won. . Tong Lan is a rolling drum, called Dong Lan. There is a hypothesis that Dong Lan is a pagoda located on the Lan hill. During the Ly Dynasty (late 11th century), Dong Lan Pagoda was built to worship Buddha. From the year of Tan Hoi, the 19th Canh Thong era of the Mac Dynasty, the Queen of the Mac Dynasty ordered the pagoda to be built in the shape of a nail, with corridors and a back hall on both sides, and a monk's room. Behind the pagoda is Ly palace of the Mac dynasty. The pagoda is a place for queens and princesses to chant Buddhist scriptures.

Xa Temple is located on the south bank of Cau River, near Xa junction, which is the confluence of two ancient rivers Ca Lo and Cau River (also known as Nhu Nguyet River) flowing into Luc Dau River (Hai Duong province). Xa Temple, Xa Doai village, Tam Giang commune (Yen Phong district, Bac Ninh) worships two generals Truong Hong and Truong Hat. The two were siblings and talented generals of Trieu Quang Phuc in the resistance war against the invaders of the Luong Dynasty. Nearly a thousand years ago, in the 11th century, Lieutenant Ly Thuong Kiet built the Nhu Nguyet river defense line here during the second resistance war against the Song Dynasty, leading to a famous victory over the Song invaders in October 1077. Talking about the history of the temple, Mr. Vu Cong Tuong (82 years old, from Xa Doai village, head of Xa Temple) said: Xa Temple worships Saint Tam Giang - the brothers Truong Hong and Truong Hat, who are famous generals of the temple. Trieu Quang Phuc was credited with fighting the Liang invaders in the 6th century. The sacred temple also dates from the 6th century, after their death. The legend of Saint Tam Giang says that, in the past, in Van Mau village (Kinh Bac region) there was a girl named Phung Tu Nhan. At the age of 18, Tu Nhan dreamed that the Dragon god descended from the sky and entwined herself on the Luc Dau River. After that, she was 14 months pregnant and gave birth to a bundle of 5 children: 4 boys and 1 girl. Because she was a child given by heaven, she took the Jade Emperor's surname Truong and gave it to her four sons, Truong Hong, Truong Hat, Truong Lung, Truong Lay, and her daughter, Truong Dam Nuong. Some time later, Heaven sent La Tien Ong to earth to teach literature and martial arts to Tu Nhan's five children at Trang Hoc beach near Co Trach's house. The five brothers, all skilled in literature and martial arts, grew up responding to Trieu Viet Vuong's call to become generals to fight the Luong invaders in Da Trach lagoon and win a great victory. Truong Hong and Truong Hat were appointed talented generals of Trieu Quang Phuc. When Trieu Quang Phuc ascended the throne (other names are Trieu Viet Vuong, Da Trach Vuong), Ly Phat Tu led his army to fight back but could not win, so he used the trick of marrying his son, causing Trieu Viet Vuong to fall for the trick and be defeated. When Ly Phat Tu won the throne, knowing that Truong Hong and Truong Hat were talented generals, he invited them to become mandarins. But with your loyalty, you decided not to worship two kings. Knowing that he could not be subdued, Ly Phat Tu ordered them to be arrested everywhere. They knew they couldn't escape so they committed suicide in the Cau River to maintain their loyalty to the king. Also according to legend, the Jade Emperor felt compassion and ordained Truong Hong and Truong Hat as River Gods. Since then, the people of 372 villages along the Cau River, Thuong River, Ca Lo River and the places where the two men were stationed to fight the enemy all mourned and built temples to worship them as Gods. The Ngo, Dinh, Le, and Ly dynasties were later blessed by Yin to keep their territories in peace, so they all honored the Truong cousins as Saint Tam Giang - great kings and superior gods. According to history books, Xa Temple and Saint Tam Giang are also associated with the birth of the poem "Nam Quoc Son Ha" by Ly Thuong Kiet - our country's first declaration of independence. Talking about the legend of the story of the poem Than, Mr. Vu Cong Tuong said: According to the elders of Xa Doai village, one night in October 1077, at the sacred temple on the Cau River battlefield against the Tong and Ly Thuong invaders. Kiet went to the temple to pray for yin and yang to support the resistance war against foreign invaders. After the ceremony, the sky suddenly lit up like daytime, two clouds appeared in the air, one white, one red. Above were two brave soldiers, one riding a white horse, the other riding a pink horse, riding the clouds among the four armies cheering their horses. hi. Legend has it that he was Mr. Truong Hong and Truong Hat who appeared to bless our army and people in fighting the Song invaders. Tu Vu Cong Tuong was moved and respectfully said: "You are "born as a form, death as a spirit"; That means living as a general, transforming into a god, and still carrying out the noble mission of serving the country." At the same time, in the air or in Ly Thuong Kiet's mind, the poem "Nam Quoc Son Ha" suddenly echoed: Nam Quoc Son Ha Nam Emperor's residence/ Absolutely destined to be in the book of heaven/ Like a rebellious river invading/ Nhu "The king of the South lives in the rivers and mountains of the country. The fate is clear in the book of heaven. Why do the invaders invade? They will be beaten to a pulp." This is the reason why the poem is called Divine poetry. When the poem was read by Ly Thuong Kiet, it resounded loudly in the area, causing the Song invaders to panic and run away, trampling each other to death. Together with the strategic ingenuity of our army and people, the resistance war against the Song Dynasty was completely victorious, destroying 300,000 Song troops, corpses piled up into mountains, blood flowed into rivers. After nearly 1,000 years since that divine victory, currently in Tam Giang commune there are still places such as Bai Xac, Bo Xac, and Dong Xa which are traces of the disastrous defeat of the enemy in the past. Every year, Xa Temple has two major festivals on the 5th of the first lunar month and the 9th and 10th of the fourth month of the lunar calendar. The Xa Temple Festival is the largest in the region. In addition to the solemn rituals of palanquin procession and water procession, there is also the custom of swimming competitions. Legend has it that the swimming custom of Xa Temple is associated with Ly Thuong Kiet mobilizing local militia to participate in fighting the Tong invaders on Nhu Nguyet River. Xa Temple today is located on a mound of land nearly 10 hectares wide, less than a kilometer from Xa junction - the confluence of two ancient rivers. The temple is currently being restored but its architecture still retains its ancient features that have existed for thousands of years. In front of the yard there is still an ancient stone stele engraved with the divine poem "Nam Quoc Son Ha" on both sides in Chinese and national language, outside is a four-pillar gate with a time-tinged relief. In addition to the system of precious antiques still kept as worship statues, in the harem of Xa temple there is also a Tao Quan altar with statues of "two men and one woman". In early spring, tourists and people who come to the Xa Temple ceremony to pray for the country of Thai Dan An do not forget to light incense at the Tao Quan altar with the wish to pray for the family to always be warm, hoping for happiness and peace for their family and for everyone. home. With a history of nearly 1,500 years, in 1988, Xa Temple was ranked by the Ministry of Culture as a National Historical Site. Source: Electronic newspaper of the Central Vietnam Farmers' Union

About 33km east of Hanoi and located close to the southern bank of the Duong River dike, Ho village or Dong Ho is a traditional craft village, whose Nom name is Mai village, now in Song Ho commune, Thuan Thanh district, Bac Ninh province. This is the cradle of a unique line of folk wood carvings known to many people both at home and abroad, with paintings that have long entered the spiritual life of many Vietnamese people. From Hanoi, if you want to go to Dong Ho, tourists go along Highway 5 (the road to Hai Phong) about 15km to Phu Thuy station, then turn left, continue about 18 km to reach Ho street, the district capital of Thuan Thanh district. From here, turn left and go about 2km further to reach Ho village. Visitors can also go all the way to Ho Street and then up the dike, turn left to the second dike guard post, there will be a sign pointing the way to Dong Ho. Dong Ho is a small village with more than 220 households, making a living from making paintings and votive goods more than farming, where the oldest way of making paintings in Kinh Bac land is preserved. Vietnamese folk songs have vivid depictions of Dong Ho painting village with the image of a simple village nestled on the gentle Duong River, outstanding with moral standards that have been advocated and preserved for many years. life, has created a unique way of behaving for the people of Mai village: respect for honor, integrity, elegant speech, clear communication from above and below, and rarely in the village do people curse loudly at each other... “Hey lady with the green sack belt If you come back to Mai village with me, then come back Mai Village has a calendar with margins There is a cool bathing pond and a profession of making paintings." Appearing around the 16th century, Dong Ho paintings are created by manual methods, the crystallization of ingenuity and patience, plus delicate aesthetic art... These are not painted paintings. inspired but reprinted through engravings, and to have engravings that reach a level of sophistication, requires the modeler as well as the engraver to have a love of art and a high technical level. Dong Ho paintings have up to 180 types divided into 5 main categories including worship paintings, historical paintings, congratulatory paintings, daily life paintings and comics. It can be said that the period from the second half of the 19th century to 1944 was the heyday of the painting village, with 17 families in the village participating in making paintings. During the years of resistance against the French, due to the fierce destruction of the war, the painting profession was temporarily interrupted. Only when peace is restored in the North, especially when the country is unified, will the painting village be restored. Unfortunately, after decades of innovation under the market economy and with the impact of Western art trends, social awareness and trends have also changed, forcing the Dong Ho painting line to face decline. one's own survival (!). Every year, from March to July, the whole village makes votive products, and from August to December, the Tet painting season is busy, the whole village is filled with colorful paper messages. In particular, Ho village has a festival on the full moon day of the third lunar month. During the village festival, there are traditional rituals such as sacrifices to gods, horse competitions, and very fun painting competitions... Among the known Vietnamese folk paintings such as Hang Trong (Hanoi), Kim Hoang (Hanoi - former Ha Tay), Dong Ho (Bac Ninh), Sinh village (Hue)..., Dong Ho paintings stand out. Thanks to being closely associated with the countryside, with the simple life of rural people, very close to the Vietnamese community... Dong Ho paintings are printed on Do paper, a type of paper handmade from the Do tree that grows in the forest like eucalyptus bark. Bring the Do tree home, put it in a mortar and pound it, sift it into fine powder, then use this powder to process it into Do paper. Because the paper base is often painted with a layer of paste or resin mixed with powder from crushed Scallop shells to create a sparkling color, it is also called Diep paper. The people of Ho village know how to use and refine natural materials to create traditional colors that are both fresh and durable, such as blue extracted from copper rust; Indigo is extracted from the leaves of the Cham tree in Lang Son; crimson color from the bark of the Vang tree; Vermillion red from gravel quarried in the mountains; yellow color from Hoe flowers or sticky rice straw; Black color from Xoan ash or Bamboo leaf ash; The shiny ivory white color of scallops is due to scallops made from snail shells or clamshells from Quang Ninh waters... These are basic colors, unmixed and each color corresponds to a wood engraving, so they are often painted. Dong Ho is limited to only four colors. Particularly, the topic is taken from life itself, production activities or comes from the philosophy of prosperity. Although simple, it is also very close to everyday life. From characters in legends or stories, beautiful scenes of the country's mountains and rivers, to paintings with meanings of wishes, and everyday activities such as "Vinh Hoa Phu Quy", "Coconut Picking", " Jealousy", "The Shepherd Plays the Flute", "The Mouse Wedding"..., all contain profound humanist philosophies. Not applying the principles of light or the near-far law of contemporary paintings with strict anatomical composition, artists create folk paintings using only a single line drawing style, creating the Eastern painting line. The lake has many conventional features in both description and composition, bringing viewers of the painting into the world of naive, simple but also very interesting drawings. Especially on each painting, the artist always writes a few Chinese or Nom characters (in the past) or romantic and love poems (nowadays), making the painting even more meaningful... Dong Ho paintings are quite close to rural life in the Red River Delta and northern provinces and cities. Its images have entered poetry, literature and even in school curricula. In the poem "Across the Duong River" Fortunately, thanks to the few people who are still passionate about making paintings, the paintings their family produces are sold, and occasionally foreign tourists come to buy paintings. Their income is also temporarily stable, giving them more motivation to continue preserving and developing their traditional profession. The good news is that after a period of following the trend of "trendy" paintings, many people were able to recognize the hidden beauty in the simplicity of folk paintings and returned to the hobby of playing and hanging Dong Ho paintings. especially during Tet days. Hopefully, together with Bac Ninh province, we will build a national candidate dossier for Dong Ho painting to submit to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for recognition as a world cultural heritage. Luckily, Dong Ho painting village will smile again so that Dong Ho paintings will forever retain their fresh and bright features on Diep paper... Source: Dong Ho folk paintings
