Ly village and Noi village. However, because the communal house was built by people of 3 borders: Western, American, and Domestic of Noi village, that's why the communal house is called Noi communal house. In addition, when the communal house was completed, the villagers also named the communal house "Tien Dinh". Those two words are embossed on the top of the communal house's roof for everyone to see.

Going back in time to find the history of Noi Communal House's construction, it is known that when they had prepared enough materials, Noi villagers welcomed carpenters from Bac Ninh to build the communal house. The workers competed with each other to show off their talents, so they left behind many beautiful wood carvings at the Noi communal house. Among them, a typical carving with the theme "rowing a boat to catch a stork" is based on the classic story: "If you keep the fish alive, the fisherman will benefit", depicting the scene of a stork pecking at a boy, and a boy holding his shell tightly to the stork's beak. So the old fisherman rowed out to catch both of them. There is also a carving of two mandarins sitting and drinking together, but behind each mandarin are two sword-wielding warriors standing right next to them. People call this carving "fighting while talking". The artist seems to want to say that in anything, we need to be calm and discuss carefully, then we hope to succeed. Again, these are crude carvings, but all the meanings are clearly visible. There is another painting depicting the scene of cavalry going into battle in an extremely strong and sturdy posture. In addition, in the communal house there are many carvings with delicate lines, each of which the artist reflects a current social reality with another profound meaning.

This story is told by the elders: The front communal house faces southwest, the roof points straight to the Noi hamlet. People see "the corner of the family pond" as an unfavorable thing, causing people in the village to often quarrel and lose unity. Therefore, the villagers asked Mr. De Tham to change direction when Hoang Hoa Tham led the army to fight the French, having a close relationship with Noi village. The insurgents often came back here to meet and discuss with Mr. Doc Tuan (Ly village); Chanh Hoach (Noi village), Tong Lo (Temple of Literature). Knowing that, De Tham, with his prestige, stood up and turned the direction of the communal house to Noi village. From there, the communal house rotates to the Southeast.

In April 1995, Dong Tai communal house was recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as a national historical relic. "... Legend has it that Dao Cong Bot, from An Bang, Hai Dong district, was a deputy mandarin during the 18th Hung King's reign, held the position of minister of Chau Hoan (Thanh Hoa), and was later assigned by the king to the palace. Thuong Hong (Hai Duong town) was a minister. During his time in Thuong Hong, he married a female scholar named Nguyen, daughter of a famous family in Kenh Trieu, Gia Phu district (now known as Thuong Hong). Gia Loc). About 3 years Then Thuong Hong suddenly had a big flood, the Minister and the people had to build high huts to avoid the water.

All three sisters are handsome, handsome, with unusual appearances, gentle personalities, and excellent martial arts skills. In particular, Dao Cong Hai and Dao Cong Thong have the power and strength to be able to scale mountains, block rivers, and walk on water waves like walking on land. People here consider three saints to come to earth. After their parents passed away, the three Dao sisters built a restaurant at the beginning of Kenh Trieu village to make a living. At this time, the Thuc dynasty sent a large army to invade Van Lang country. King Due Vuong and his officials directly went out to fight the enemy, but because of that and their forces were not balanced, they both fought and retreated. Arriving at Hau Bong commune, Gia Loc district, it was late afternoon, and the king issued an edict for his soldiers and officials to set up camp to rest. That night, the king sat down at Quang Minh pagoda, Hau Bong general. In his sleep, the king saw a tall man with neat clothes and hat approaching and saying: "I have obeyed the Emperor's orders and told the army to meet talented people to destroy the enemy." When I suddenly woke up, it was a dream and next to me was a brocade with a few verses written on it: The Emperor came down to help the army/ Went to Kenh Trieu to meet the Saint/ Dao Thi's brother was the one who helped save the country. people". The king immediately sent his troops to Kenh Trieu, invited the three Dao sisters back for an audience, and then appointed Dao Cong Hai as the acting head of international China; Dao Cong Thong is the General of the Army. The two men accepted the position, commanded a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses, divided into many columns to attack the enemy station.

On the way back, dark clouds suddenly appeared from somewhere, thunder and lightning were fierce, and in just a moment the two generals transformed into clouds and water. The king mourned the talented people and ordered the people here to build a temple and worship..."

Dau Pagoda.
Dau Pagoda has the Chinese name Sung Thien pagoda in Thi Duc village, Nhat Tan commune (Gia Loc). From afar, we saw a majestic pagoda appearing in the middle of a field along with a luxuriant area of trees. The pagoda is located on a high land, with unique architecture, bearing a strong Buddhist imprint. Around the pagoda there are lotus ponds and the winding Han River. According to the family tree, Dau Pagoda worships the saintly lady Pham Trinh Hien with the name Tien Dung, a princess who had the merit of helping Hai Ba Trung fight against the Eastern Han invaders. In the year 40, the Trung sisters raised a flag to rebel against the Han Dynasty. Once marching to this land, the two women stationed a military camp here. At night, they dreamed that someone called Princess Tien Dung, vowing to fight the enemy. The next day, the two women led their troops to battle on the Han River and won a resounding victory. The Trung sisters let the generals and local people celebrate and then issued a decree for the villagers to build a temple to worship Tien Dung, with the beautiful title Dieu Quang Hue Tinh Y Pham Trinh Hien, wife of Thuong class god. Over time, people built this place into a majestic pagoda that both worships Buddha and saints. The ancient Dau Pagoda had a scale of more than 100 rooms. The date of the pagoda's construction has not been determined, but based on the traces of bricks and tiles found, it can be determined that the pagoda was built at the end of the Ly dynasty and the beginning of the Tran dynasty. However, due to war and natural disasters, up to now, Dau Pagoda has lost many ancient architectural items. Currently, the pagoda has a nail-style architecture including 5 front halls and 3 back halls. The pagoda's roof has many reliefs with beautiful patterns of clouds, sun, and moon. In the pagoda there are 12 statues, made of wood, lacquered and gilded. In addition to the system of ancient Buddha statues, the harem also has a large temple, made of wood, exquisitely carved, and inside there is a statue of Princess Tien Dung. The statue is carved in a sitting position, calm and with a kind face. According to local elders, the entire statue system in the temple is carved from mulberry wood. Legend has it that the Han River next to the pagoda often floods. One time, the water was high, the flood came from upstream, carrying a large raft of mulberry wood with golden fibers like silk. Everyone thought it was a good omen so they picked it up and used wood to carve it into a statue. From then on, the pagoda was called Dau Pagoda. When visiting Dau Pagoda, we see that this place still preserves many valuable artifacts such as 2 steles of the Le Dynasty, some pieces of terracotta towers, terracotta pieces with phoenix heads, terracotta dragon heads, and patterned bricks and tiles. dating from the 13th-14th centuries. The most unique and special is the Tran Dynasty stele arranged right in front of the pagoda yard. The stele was created in 1331. The content of the stele was composed by Venerable Hue Van, a monk here, with about 1,180 words. This is a unique work of sculpture art. The stele is about 1.5m high, placed on the back of a rather large stone turtle. The stele's roof is moderately curved, and the stele's body has a border carved with dragons and vine flowers. The stele's forehead is decorated with many vivid leaves and lotus flowers, close to nature. Prominent on the front of the stele is a large cursive engraving of Buddha. Below the word Buddha are carved two images, on one side is a crane standing with a burning candle on its head. On one side is a humanoid demon wearing an incense burner. At the foot of the stele are carved patterns of water waves and mountains. On the back of the stele are engraved three Chinese characters "Sung Thien Pagoda", below are written the full names of those who donated fields and money to repair the pagoda. Not only unique in architecture and festivals, Dau Pagoda is also one of the important "red addresses". Dau Pagoda is a place that marks many revolutionary events. Before the August Revolution of 1945, the Viet Minh Front had a meeting at the pagoda to discuss seizing power and destroying the rice warehouses of the Japanese enemy in Thanh Mien district to give to the poor. In 1945, when the French invaded Hai Duong town, the Provincial Lien Viet Association chose the pagoda as the place to evacuate. In 1945-1950, Tay Son soldiers of Gia Loc district chose the pagoda as the location to open training classes. From here, our troops spread out towards Route 17 and Route 20 to conduct ambushes against the enemy during the resistance war against the French during the period 1949-1953. In the years 1951-1952, cadres, guerrillas of Pham Kha and Lam Son communes and soldiers chose the pagoda as a base to cling to the people to destroy the enemy, and destroyed the villains in Chuong and Ba Dong markets. Currently in the temple there is still a secret vault from the previous period. Dau Pagoda is a place to worship both Buddha and saints. The pagoda's traditional festival is held on the 8th to 10th day of the 8th lunar month. On this occasion, people and tourists from all over come to attend in large numbers. With its unique architecture and value, the pagoda was ranked as a national monument in 1992. Source: Electronic information portal of Gia Loc district, Hai Duong province.
