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

The pagoda was built in the 12th century during the reign of King Ly Cao Tong (1176-1210). This is one of the few pagodas dating back to the Ly Dynasty until today. The pagoda is built on a high hill, with luxuriant trees, windy on all four sides, beautiful scenery, quiet, full of solitude, a place of meditation. In the past, this area was called Tieu Dao Mountain, and is commonly called Cam Forest, perhaps that's why the pagoda is famous as Cam Pagoda. According to inscriptions and genealogies, the pagoda has existed for a long time. In the 12th century, the crown prince, son of King Ly Cao Tong, donated more than a hundred acres of fields, two thousand francs of money to repair the pagoda, and 700 francs of merit for a banquet. worship easily. Assign martial general Nguyen to directly direct and mobilize donations to repair the pagoda. As a result, the pagoda was restored with "seven newly built closely spaced rooms, columns painted with bright flowers, bright jade colors, a high and precious palace, bright sunlight and moonlight, a splendid Buddha statue, and a poised lotus throne." , the big bell towers over the phoenix, the noble king holds the dragon, the splendor and majesty are clear...". The military general of the Nguyen family also had the merit of a thousand francs to buy more than a hundred acres of fields to donate to the pagoda for farming. In the 14th century under the reign of King Tran Anh Tong, Bao An Pagoda was given a lot of money to repair and embellish by Princess Hung Nuong. To remember his merits, like many other pagodas in the area, people built a shrine to Princess Hung Nuong in the pagoda. Having gone through the ups and downs of thousands of years of history, Bao An Pagoda is still at the old campus but has had many changes. Ancient architectural buildings such as the front hall, incense burner, upper palace, ancestral house, Hung Nuong princess shrine and mother shrine were demolished due to deterioration. Currently, the pagoda has been renovated and rebuilt on a large scale, with reinforced concrete architecture and tiled roof. The pagoda also preserves valuable relics and antiques such as: Dharma statues, altars, bronze bells, and stone stele. Among them, the most typical is the stone stele "Bao An Zen Tu Bi Bi Ky" (inscription of Bao An Pagoda's stele). Up to now, according to review, survey and statistical data, this is the only Ly Dynasty stele remaining in the province. The stele was engraved in December of the year Tri Binh Long Ung (1209) and re-engraved later, probably at the end of the 18th century, placed at Bao An pagoda. The stele was mentioned and published by many researchers in Ly Tran Poetry (Social Sciences Publishing House, H.1977) and Ly Dynasty Epitaph (VNU Publishing House, H.2010). This is the oldest stele in Vinh Phuc and one of the 18 Ly Dynasty stelae remaining in our country today. The stele is 1.4m high, 0.85m wide, 0.14m thick, placed on the back of a smooth-shelled stone turtle, its head protruding, its four-clawed feet spread out in all four directions. The stele is engraved on both sides with 50 lines including 1498 Chinese - Nom characters, sharp handwriting in the style of Ly Dynasty script, very beautiful.

Based on this stele, it can be seen that the construction and restoration of pagodas took place on Vinh Phuc land since the Ly dynasty. The construction and restoration of pagodas was encouraged, not prohibited, by the royal court and assigned to the mandarins and aristocracy to preside and organize. The construction and restoration of pagodas is also considered an important event in the spiritual life of the people, attracting the whole region and even the whole country to join in the merit. This proves that during the peak development of Buddhism during the Ly Dynasty, Vinh Phuc area was also a popular center of this religion. The special thing is that among the nearly 1,500 words on the stele, there are mixed Nom words, these Nom words are used to write people's names and land names. It is said that this is one of the oldest evidences of Nom script found in Vietnam. Before this stele, traces of a few Nom characters were only found in two places: on the bell of Van Ban pagoda, Hai Phong (year 1076), and in an inscription at the pagoda of Huong Non commune, Tam Nong district, Phu Tho province. (year 1173). Bao An Pagoda was ranked as a provincial historical-cultural relic in 1995.

The army of General Long Tuy Trung was commanded by Mr. Do Van Day and Le Binh Dang. At around 24:00 on the night of November 22, 1940, the sound of artillery fire had not yet been heard in Saigon. After consulting, the army commanders united to attack the enemy's post. Immediately the troops headed straight to Fort Hoc Mon, where District Chief Bui Ngoc Tho resided. Two insurgents named Nghe and Kinh volunteered to enter the front gate and sacrificed their lives. Insurgents from all directions rushed into the Fort like water bursting its banks. 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).

During his career as a mandarin, he achieved the highest title of Ta Thi lang of Infantry. With a straightforward, bold and somewhat hot-tempered personality, and born in a turbulent political era, Mr. Ich Khiem's career path encountered many storms and obstacles. He often confronted the tyrants and tyrants directly, and was forced to be dismissed from his position. At that time, he returned to his hometown to develop agriculture, buy and allocate land for people to farm, and instruct people to build roads, dig canals, and bring water for irrigation. In 1858, when the French colonialists attacked Da Nang and violated our country's sovereignty, the king called him to take up a new position, leading the army to pacify the country. Although he was originally a literary mandarin, the times made Mr. Ich Khiem become a martial mandarin.

In early 1885, he was awarded the rank of Thi Doc. Up to now, Mr. Ich Khiem's talent, dignity and merit are still preserved in history books and are remembered and praised by people.
