Dinh Nam

Dinh Nam

Nam communal house in Bac Son ward, one of the important religious buildings of the people of Do Son area, has just been restored. This is both a spiritual activity spot and a sacred destination in the city's famous tourist area. Located in the middle of a crowded residential area in the center of Do Son district, not far from the beach with waves crashing all year round, Nam communal house today has a moderate scale, bearing the appearance of ancient communal houses in the style of the Le Dynasty. The communal house has Dinh architecture, consisting of 3 compartments, 2 left, made mainly of wood and green stone. The curved, curved roof system with intricate carvings of four sacred animals bears the mark of the 15th century. In particular, all 38 wooden columns in the pavilion have a diameter of 34-45cm, carefully selected from tree trunks. Kien Kien - a precious wood, as hard as ironwood but tougher. Through the ups and downs of history, Nam communal house was completely destroyed twice. The first time around the 17th century, Nam Communal House was one of the military bases of He Nguyen Huu Cau District in Do Son. When Lord Trinh Doanh sent Hoang Ngu Phuc and Pham Dinh Trong to bring troops to suppress the uprising, the communal house was destroyed. After that, local people rebuilt the communal house with 5 rooms, 2 left, solemn and majestic. By the end of 1953, the communal house was destroyed again when the French colonialists forced the people here to move elsewhere, establishing a "white belt" in Do Son. In 1993, the Party Committee, PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE, Vietnam Fatherland Front and the people of Van Son ward rebuilt the communal house on the old foundation. At that time, due to economic difficulties, they only temporarily built a level 4 house and created a few wooden statues to serve as a place for people's spiritual and cultural activities. Since then, although it has been upgraded and repaired many times, the church space has seriously deteriorated, and the wooden statue system has been damaged by termites. In 2011, thanks to socialized funding, 6 worship statues were recast in gold-plated bronze. Based on the wishes of the people, the ward leaders were determined to restore the old communal house, starting construction in October 2014. The Nam Communal House Management Board is completing the grand pagoda, couplets and some details inside the communal house. The desire of the government and local people to continue expanding the communal house's grounds, restore the relic area and carry out relic recognition procedures SOURCE: Hai Phong City Electronic Information Portal
