Based on Han Nom sources still inscribed on wooden pillars in the communal house, it is said that the Noi communal house was built during the reign of King Le Hien Tong, the 34th year of Canh Hung (1775), on a high, open mound in the middle of the temple. 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. If you want to visit the relic, visitors can go from Bac Giang city along National Highway 1A (old), cross Song Thuong bridge, turn right along provincial road 398, Bac Giang - Cao Thuong route, pass kilometer 11, turn right. Go right along the inter-village gravel road for about 1km to Noi communal house. 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. During the flood, suddenly 3 eggs floated to the front of the minister's hut. Seeing that it was strange, he picked them up Those 3 eggs were then taken away. Not long after, there was a heavy rain, thunder and lightning, the 3 eggs exploded like thunder and the flood water suddenly drained away, half happy, half worried, thinking that the 3 eggs were gone That egg is unusual, please order The soldiers held a ceremony to sacrifice the three magical eggs.

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.

Dau Pagoda.

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.

Lang Le Bau Co is located inside a large field with many shrimp, crabs, and fish. Along with many species of birds such as mallards, storks, teal, nuthatches, gongs, partridges, herons, and red armpits come to feed here. Therefore, Tan Nhut people call it by the familiar and rustic name Lang Le Bau Co. Lang Le Bau Co relic is considered the gateway to move to the center of Vuon Thom base and attack the enemy headquarters in Saigon. Previously, Lang Le Bau Co relic area was originally a field of overgrown reeds. On April 15, 1948, the French colonialists sent 3 thousand soldiers and many modern weapons to simultaneously attack the Lang Le Bau Co area to destroy the Vuon Thom base. At that time, the revolutionary armed forces in Lang Le - Bau, because of their small force and rudimentary weapons, had the help of local people along with the advantage of terrain.

For our side, the battle opened the door to heroism in a strong resistance position. As for the enemy, they had to retreat into a strategic position and were destroyed. The French colonialists could no longer form a strategy to defeat the Viet Minh. Moreover, at Vuon Thom base, Lang Le Bau Co also took place a determined battle to protect our base and destroy all sabotage plans of the enemy. Lang Le Bau Co relic area, after the Dong Khoi movement in 1960, was also a logistics and springboard for the armed forces to liberate Long An - Saigon - Gia Dinh. To commemorate the sacrifices of our compatriots and soldiers, in 1988 Binh Chanh district built a historical building in Lang Le Bau Co land with an area of ​​1000m2.

Hoc Mon District Palace

Complete liberation of the People of 18 Betel Garden Villages. After defeating Chi Hoa Fort, the French colonialists built a 3-storey wooden house here to use as a military post. When Tran Tu Ca took office as Governor of the Palace, he used the Station as the Palace of Binh Long district. Originally a cunning drunkard of the French colonialists, Tran Tu Ca was led by a group led by Mr. Phan Van Hon (Quan Hon) and Nguyen Van Qua (Chanh Lanh Binh) of nearly 1,000 insurgents who came to burn the District Palace, captured and head cut off in the middle of the market. That was February 8, 1885, At Dau Tet. Afterwards, Hoc Mon District Palace was rebuilt with a blue stone foundation, brick walls, and a defense system from the upper floors to the fence. The architecture is similar to the Military Fort, so the locals call it Hoc Mon Fort. Tran took over from Tran Tu Ca as Governor of Ngon district, moving to Tra District and then Tho District. This was a long period of time when the people of the Hoc Mon region suffered from many cruel and despicable scenes from the French colonialists and their oligarchic henchmen mentioned above. With the indomitable tradition of Hoc Mon people. On June 4, 1930, around 6 a.m. in front of the District Palace, hundreds of Hoc Mon people protested demanding "abolition of poll tax, reduction of license and market taxes, and granting land to poor farmers." Tra District invited the leaders into the Palace to negotiate, but they cunningly arrested them, including Mr. Le Van Uoi (Secretary of Tan Thoi Nhi Commune), who was the leader of the protest. People were undaunted and fiercely demanded that Tea District release those detained. The protest group became more and more crowded, the fighting spirit spread somewhat, causing Tra District to give in. On the one hand, they released the detained people, on the other hand, they called the officials in Saigon for help. 2 hours later, the struggle was led by two men, Blachole and Nobbot, who opened fire on the protest group, causing many casualties. But the most impressive historical event at Hoc Mon District Palace was the Southern Uprising on November 23, 1940. Hoc Mon Fort is very solid, built of green stone like a fortress, about 15 meters high, has a gun emplacement and a defense system with battlements guarded by a platoon of green soldiers. On November 22, 1940, France reinforced one more platoon to deal with the situation. On the afternoon of November 22, 1940, Mr. Do Van Coi's army broke into the town, disguised as civilians, ambushed behind the Station waiting for orders to rob the Station. Another army wing has the task of destroying bridges, cutting down trees blocking roads, and occupying offices and houses... The army wing from Phuoc Vinh An, Tan Thong, Tan An Hoi, Tan Phu Trung is led by Mr. Pham Van Sang and Dang Cong Binh commanded, started from Ben Do hamlet, attacked the house, killed 1 person, collected 4 guns, and took control of the situation here (Tan Phu Trung). Immediately this army was ordered to pull back to Hoc Mon. The Long Tuy Thuong army was commanded by Mr. Bui Van Hoat. 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). Although the attack on Hoc Mon Fort (later called Hoc Mon District Palace) failed, it left a deep impression in the hearts of all civilians admiring the courage of revolutionary soldiers in the fight against colonialism. steal the country. During the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, at 7:00 a.m. on April 30, 1975, Hoc Mon town was completely liberated, the National flag fluttered above the District Palace, where District Chief Nguyen Nhu Sang and his gang sai has been running away since last night. Today, Hoc Mon District Palace is chosen as the District Museum, where many documents are displayed, illustrating the ups and downs of historical periods as well as the revolutionary fighting spirit of the army and people in Hoc Mon district over the past two years. resistance war against French colonialism and American imperialism.

US Embassy building

US Embassy building

The US Embassy relics, also known as the "White House of the East", are the origin of sinister military and political plots aimed at long-term annexation of Vietnam. The relic site is a 5-storey building built Built in modern architecture, located at the corner of Mac Dinh Chi - Le Duan Street, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, on a plot of land nearly 5,000 square meters. Previously, the US embassy was located at 39 Ham Nghi Street. At around 10:00 a.m. on March 30, 1963, the US embassy on Ham Nghi Street was hit with explosives by the F21 Commando team, collapsing three floors: 1, 2, 3, so the US decided to rebuild it. Construction began on the building in 1965, most of the materials and construction machinery were transported from the US, under the control of American engineers. According to the design, the building is surrounded by 7,800 Taredo stones that can withstand mines and artillery shells. The main door is equipped with thick steel, the other doors are blocked by a special thick bulletproof layer. All doors use automatic systems, including iron doors blocking the way to the upper floors. Inside the building there are 140 rooms with 200 staff serving day and night. In addition, next to the building is also built an additional row of houses called the "Norodom" area exclusively for C.I.A. employees. When inaugurated, the building had only 3 floors. At the end of 1966, two more floors and a terrace were built to serve as a landing place for helicopters. Surrounding the building is a 3m high wall, at both ends of the wall close to Le Duan Street, 2 high blockhouses are built, guarded day and night. The Embassy was completed in September 1967 with a defense system such as a fortress with 60 guards, a bomb shelter, and a radar screen system to control the facade. Immediately after the building was completed, on September 24, 1967, thousands of students flocked to the gate of the US Embassy to fight for "America to stop bombing the North", "America to go home" and issued a notice denouncing the US for "trampling and seriously violating the right to self-determination of the Southern people". But the outstanding event that happened at the US Embassy was the battle of the City Rangers during the General Offensive and Uprising in the Spring of 1968. The target of attacking the US Embassy was added on January 24, 1968 by Ngo Thanh. Van is in charge of general affairs.

Another equally humiliating event for the US Embassy was the chaotic escape that occurred on April 29 and 30, 1975 by the US and its accomplices. Faced with the rapid attack of the Vietnamese army and people in the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, over 1,000 Americans and more than 5,000 pro-American Vietnamese jostled, pushed, and kicked each other to compete for a place on the terrace of the building. building to be rescued by helicopter. This relic was granted a certificate of recognition by the Ministry of Culture on June 25, 1976. Currently, the US Embassy building has been demolished and a new consulate in Ho Chi Minh City has been built, but next to it is a memorial stele forever remembering the achievements of the special forces soldiers who died in the battle. .
