OLD LATERWELL IN DUONG LAM
OLD LATERWELL IN DUONG LAM In the village organization system in Vietnam, especially in the Northern Delta region, ancient wells have become an essential project, closely linked to the community whose main life is agricultural production. Along with the silhouette of the ancient banyan tree, the airy courtyard of the communal house, the village well and its valuable image are deeply ingrained in the memories of everyone and every home. The well is an indispensable friend in every spiritual project of the village communal house. This "trinity of cultural heritages" is always placed in convenient locations by the people, making it easy to gather and gather people in the village. The Northern Delta has many villages associated with ancient wells. Referring to those places, one cannot help but mention the Ancient Village in Duong Lam (Son Tay, Hanoi). There, in addition to the famous and precious works of tangible and intangible cultural value, including the once famous laterite ancient wells, always create unforgettable memories of generations of villagers, happy and sad memories, pride, pride in the homeland, the land of ancient and spiritual masterpieces. Laterite wells in Duong Lam Ancient Village are distributed everywhere: places of spiritual belief (communes, temples, pagodas, shrines, churches), and residences of households. Depending on the location, people explore and dig wells. Water geysers are sprayed through laterite seams to create clarity, cleanliness, coolness, and remove harmful impurities. The laterite stones are dug up from the ground. Wherever you dig, the stone will be hard (it will not break or distort the circular shape of the well when the soil fibers have been dug). Therefore, digging a well in Duong Lam is not an embankment, a round well is built and then dropped down to attach screws (like in low-lying areas or the Northern midlands). The well of a communal house or spiritual place is usually 3 - 5m wide and 7 - 10m deep; The mouth of the well is placed with large laterite stones, monolithic or pieced together, which are both durable, strong, and clean. Well at home has a smaller diameter, only 1.2 - 1.5m, the depth also depends on 5 - 7 - 9m. Wells in public places such as villages and hamlets do not have buckets, so anyone who wants to use them must bring a bucket. When a family well doesn't have a winch, people have to use human strength to pull the bucket (which also takes a lot of effort). Later, when there were soft cable pulleys, water was scooped with higher productivity, and people spent less effort. Wells that appear in public places or monuments are often given names associated with this location such as: Dinh well, Dong well, Chua well. Offshore wells, there are a number of well names associated with hamlets such as: in Mong Phu village there are wells in Dinh hamlet, Sui hamlet, Sai hamlet, Giang hamlet. Particularly, the wells on both sides of Mong Phu communal house are likened to two sacred dragon eyes. Giang hamlet's well is famous for being cool, making delicious tea, and drinking sweet "Giang hamlet's well water, Buong field's sweet potatoes". The well is located in front of the door of communal houses, pagodas, and temples as a way for relics according to Confucian feng shui theory. Around it are often planted some ancient trees such as: banyan, rice, and muom. Around the circular shaft of the well, the part protruding from the ground, over time, the laterite surface is covered with moss, which is also a good environment for the vines called squash grass (snail scale plant, dragon scale plant) to grow, creating a tangled rhizome system, firmly attached to the laterite wall surface. There are ancient wells dug in square shape (symbolizing that mother earth always nurtures and loves her children and reflects the silhouettes of ancient buildings) and round wells (like the shape of the sun) that have the meaning of always shining the sunlight day after day radiating the harmony of yin and yang. The digging of a well is considered and discussed very carefully by the people in the village, such as the geographical location and feng shui of the place to be carefully considered to choose a source of water that is clear, cool, sweet, not cloudy, not foul, not salty; The water circuit must ensure flow all year round, throughout the month. At the beginning of the year, people have the custom of slapping wells to receive new vitality and prosperity, and also in the early morning of the first day of the New Year, many families go to the village well to carry water to fill tanks, jars, pots, and storage containers to hope for a year where the family and clan will have lots of blessings and great fortune, because according to the village's religious customs, the village well is the deepest place, the gathering place, containing vitality and fortune (underground water flows forever). According to the confidence of many old people, the heart of the well is the heart of the people, of the villagers, as well as the nature of: people are tolerant and compassionate, the village well does not contain hatred for what has gone through. In the ancient village, there is also an extremely famous ancient well that has entered the legend of many generations of villagers and surrounding areas, which is the Milk well, also known as Chuong Sa well in Cam Lam village, near the temple and mausoleum area worshiping King Ngo Quyen. It is a small and shallow well, 0.7 - 0.8m wide in diameter, more than 1m deep, the well is embanked with laterite bricks. The water in the Milk well has a very special cool and sweet taste. The water is clear in all seasons and you can see through to the bottom. When talking about the Milk Well, people recall a very thrilling legend about an abandoned newborn baby and an old woman with a kind and tolerant heart. When she met this baby, she held the child with a heart-wrenching cry, remembering her mother's milk. The two of them went looking for houses along the road to ask for water and could not see any houses or people. Arriving in a valley at the foot of Cam Hill, they found a gurgling stream of water flowing from a cave. The grandmother fed the baby some clear water. The baby stopped crying and slept soundly in her arms. Since then, she set up a tent here to raise her grandchildren. When she passed away, people in the area built a temple to worship her, called Mother Temple, next to the sacred water source called Milk Well. When in the dry season, all the village and house wells ran out of water, but the milk well was still full of water. The villagers came here to ask for water to eat, drink, and do daily activities. Nowadays, Milk Well is also known by many breastfeeding mothers for its miracle. Strangely, every time the mother unfortunately loses her milk, she asks her relatives to come here to perform a ceremony and ask for water to bring home to drink, and the mothers' milk supply is miraculously restored. At the entrance to Sai hamlet (Mong Phu hamlet) there is an old well near the Ha family church. In front there is a stone stele engraved with 4 ancient Chinese characters "Nhat bang tam", the stele is on the back of a turtle, and dated 1933. Or Nghe well in Cam Lam village (Nghè well water, Cam Lam tea Giang well water, Buong field sweet potatoes) These two wells are famous for being clear, clean, cool, delicious and sweet to drink Although there are not many laterite wells in the Ancient Village and are used frequently, there are still ancient wells at valuable spiritual and religious sites and some grounds of old houses and traditional families. Some wells are also used as incense sticks for worship. The wells in families are still pumped up for daily use (although they no longer protrude above the ground to reveal the round well's laterite well, because they want to save space, the well is still submerged, covered with a concrete cover, and water is taken up by a vacuum pump pipe). Although there are no newly dug wells, every time we visit the cultural heritage of the Ancient Village in Duong Lam, especially in the summer and fall, after a tour around the village, staying at the ancient house, no one can miss the moment of feeling the cool water from the laterite well from the water jars kept by the homeowner for visitors (washing face, nose, hands and feet, even taking a sip of laterite well water). Surely visitors will feel the sweet, rustic, noble taste of the cool, ever-flowing stream of water like the tradition of diligence, hospitality, compassion, and hard work of the people of the homeland.

Conservation of "milk well" in Duong Lam
Conservation of "milk well" in Duong Lam In the cultural space of the ancient village in Duong Lam, the village well is an indispensable part of the cultural and cultural heritage, creating a very unique feature in the lives of people here. "Milk well" in Cam Lam village, Duong Lam commune, is well known because this is a sacred well, which has brought miracles for women who are raising children with milk or loss of milk. "Milk well" is a folk call, and people here still call the bell well. Legend has it that, in a chaotic time, when this place was still a pristine mountain without a human being, a newly born baby was abandoned to cry and cried strictly at the foot of the hill. A old woman passed by witnessed but did not know how to hold the baby. She only knew how to carry the baby in her arms along the way in the hope of finding a house to ask for water. Going forever and not seeing the shadow of people, going to a valley at the foot of Cam hill, she saw a murmuring water flow from the cave of the stone so that the water would let the baby drink. The baby suddenly stopped crying and fell asleep in her hand. Since then, she has set up a tent here to raise the child. When lost, people in the area set up a temple to worship her and called the "mother temple" on the sacred water called the "milk well". The circuit then becomes sacred and is well known. When in the dry season, all the village wells were dried up in the bottom, the water circuit was still full and clear. Together they burden the water to eat, the more water takes the more water. The bell well is located at the foot of Cam Mountain. It is said that this is the land of King Ngo Quyen, so no one dares to build a house on the king's land, so this place still intact the ancient and dense. Milk well is located next to the trail at the foot of the blocked hill and Cam mountain in Cam Lam village. In order to reach the "milk well", it must go through Phung Hung and Ngo Quyen temples. A few hundred meters from Ngo Quyen mausoleum in the south, deep into the red dirt road will see "milk well". In fact, this "sacred well" is no different from the ancient wells in other rural areas. It is a small well and shallow well, the well is quite narrow with a wide diameter of about 70 - 80cm, deeper than 1m, the well is embankment with laterite. In particular, the water in the "milk well" has a special cool sweetness. The water is clear throughout the four seasons and can see through the bottom with a faded old laterite. Today, the "milk well" of Cam Lam village is well known because the well water is likely to cure milk loss for newborn women. The person who came to ask for milk just need to sincerely read the name, the address of the parents and the baby lacked milk accompanied by a fruit incense card and a few change. The father left 7 dong, the mother left 9 change at the temple and went to the well to scoop the water into the bottle. The ceremony after the worship is not brought back. The seniors in the village shared: People comply with this convention with the thought that Loc enjoyed after the ceremony must be "dispersed" for the children around the area. In this way, their prayers will be Linh Ung. The water asking for the "milk well" brought back to pour once into the cup for the woman to drink all not to be removed. The rest brought to cooking porridge or boiled for women to use. One or two days later, breast milk will return. The story of the bell well that helps women with milk makes many people visit Duong Lam are curious and want to take place to admire this monument. Perhaps because of this, anyone standing in front of the old well in Cam Lam has a different feeling from other wells in the ancient village of Duong Lam. In the gloomy, calm setting, each person is self -aware that he needs to speak gently in the well. In the relics complex in the land of two kings, the bell bell seemed as a treasure of the village. The cool drops of this "milk well" have brought peace in the souls of young mothers, helping them to balance their lives and in some way, have achieved their wishes. For the people of Duong Lam, the village well is an indispensable part of the cultural and cultural heritage of the ancient village, creating a very unique feature in the lives of people here. It is thought that preserving and preserving the image of ancient wells will increase the heritage value of the ancient Vietnamese village.

Ancient houses in Duong Lam were built with traditional types typical of the Doai region including laterite, wood, bamboo, straw, young mud, fine clay, sawdust, rice husk, and baked bricks of all kinds. Laterite is the main material for building walls, gables, gates or fences. In addition to being used to build houses, this type of laterite is also used to build public and religious cultural works such as: village gates, communal houses, pagodas, shrines, inns, shops, ancient wells... With the characteristic that once built, the house ensures a well-ventilated climate, warm in winter and cool in summer, that's why people also call this village "ancient Vietnamese laterite village". Wood to build a house, if in the past it was a house with economic status and position in the village, was made of four types of iron (nails, ironwood, wood, wood). Normally, houses with moderate economic conditions are mainly made of oval wood. Xoan is grown in hillsides. Bamboo and bamboo are also planted near canals, ditches, and furrows; Usually it's old bamboo with unbroken tips. Bamboo wood is often placed on the bottom of ponds and lakes to form rafts, where the pond bottom has a lot of mud to prevent weevils from gnawing away. Soaking usually lasts as long as possible, 6 - 8 months or 1 year. When picked up and peeled to dry them in the sun along with the bamboo, it smells very unpleasant before it can be considered thoroughly soaked. The roof is covered with different types of tiles such as ri-nose, comedy-nose, and fish-scale. Usually, people cover a layer of tiles first (also called lining bricks) and roof from the bottom of the roof. This type of tile was often purchased via boats transported up the Red River from famous pottery making areas such as Bat Trang (Hanoi), Chu Dau (Hai Duong), Day Well (Dong Trieu - Quang Ninh), Phu Lang (Bac Ninh). Materials such as bamboo are used to make bamboo poles, there are also houses made of oval wood, or wood mixed from large panels. The key points at important points are also made of old bamboo poles. On the front side of the house, the top bordering the door is a convenient row that can be made square, round, etc. Ancient houses often face south, are designed in the style of 5 rooms and 2 chairs, or 7 rooms and 2 chairs, with many doors facing inwards. Doors are made mainly of two types: tabletop and streetscape. This type of table top creates a convenient landscape when the house has a big task that needs space, the homeowner often lifts it out to make it more spacious and puts the door down as a counter for sitting and eating. The house is arranged with 5-7 rows of legs, 2 main columns and a military column. Each column stands on a green stone pedestal, the side adjacent to the ground is square, the side supporting the column is round (symbolizing Asian thinking - the sky is round and the earth is square). Some old houses look up at the ceiling at the beams, rafters and rafters, and the roof beams are often discolored and covered in black soot because in the past, houses used to light fires with wood stoves to warm up in the winter, especially on occasions when someone gave birth, or the elderly were weak or sick... The floor that the house often used was earth that was rammed and compacted to make sure it was firm. Some houses use lime slurry, then they cut the filling beads in half and stick them on the floor in quadrilaterals, parallelograms, and door niches to clear the spaces to make the house airy, as well as to easily observe and prevent thieves (seeing their feet) wanting to break into the house. The middle space is where the altars for the highest people of the three generations are placed. The two side rooms also place the altars for the deceased in the family arranged according to hierarchy (if they are the head of the family). The altar can have more incense bowls and figures. Under the altar are large, thick ironwood counters or counters. The left and right spaces are often set up with couches: 1 table and 2 benches to receive guests with a teapot to make green tea, usually filled with water to brew in a jar with 6 dull brown bowls, a lime pot, a betel nut, a hookah bowl, and a tube to hold firewood. Below the table are a few things such as a betel bowl, a side bowl, a kettle for Chinese tea (dried tea buds), a small lime jar, a tobacco bowl or a small wooden box holding a plow pipe made of bamboo to retain the hook. Two rooms are for the daughter or daughter-in-law, in addition to being a warehouse for storing rice, pots and pans, bowls and chopsticks, and small chests. On the porch, there are 1 or 2 bamboo mats (some houses still keep a chest placed right under the main altar). This box used to contain a few precious things, expensive personal belongings, tools, and agricultural products (glutinous rice, glutinous rice, peanuts, etc.) to avoid rats and insects from entering. Other works related to ancient houses that cannot be ignored include houses, kitchens, wells, yards, gardens, screens, barns for livestock and poultry, entrance gates, and incense trees. In particular, screens and incense trees also have important spiritual roles in the family. The screen is placed on the wall, opposite the altar room - the main door, and can be made of pearl inlay with two eggshells, or porcelain with glossy celadon. The incense tree was built in the corner of the yard or at an angle to the first and last rooms of the house. The ancient laterite water well also played a significant role in family activities and raising livestock and poultry. The well is dug quite deep. In villages with high positions such as Mong Phu and Cam Lam, the water is absorbed through laterite beds, so toxic impurities are filtered out, achieving purity and not harmful to human health. Getting water from the well also goes through many stages, using different tools (because the well must be dug deep). At first, people used buckets and ropes to scoop each bucket. After improvement, use the winch to rotate with an industrial greased cable (small wire type). At this time, the bucket was designed to be larger and its capacity also increased, not wasting as much human effort as before. Then when there was electricity and science developed, every house used vacuum pumps and built filter tanks so water was stored and filtered through sand and gravel or activated carbon, making it even more secure. Today, although it is covered by a tap water system, many families still keep the laterite well but it is a submerged well (the well's barrel is not protruding to the surface to save space and replaced with a solid concrete cover that covers the surface). The well is still used, it is a valuable raw material for making soy sauce, making tea... The gate itself is made of 2 roofs, covered with fish-scale tiles, has two ways to turn inward, each way has a circular handle made of rustic wood. In the ancient house, each family still retains many precious artifacts such as: genealogy, Han Nom documents, worship objects, and artifacts related to the daily life of each member such as: old weddings, costumes, pictures, and production tools. In particular, on the roof, almost every house has a formal balcony in the middle. In the garden, it is always green in all four seasons because of perennial fruit trees in different seasons such as pomegranates, peaches, sapodillas, guavas, jackfruit, grapefruits, lemons, longans, lychees, bananas... Many larger houses also have ponds, and in the corner of the yard are some clay pots to ferment soy sauce. Those jars of soy sauce were likened to a precious "refrigerator" in the past after every day the homeowner had an event such as a party, death anniversary, wedding, or vegetarian meal. They often put in it boiled pork that's almost cooked (when it's not used up) or eggplants. When eaten, its quality is even more delicious and attractive. The large eggplants incubated in it absorb all the delicious essence of the soy sauce. Take it out, tear it, turn it amber, add a little vinegar, sugar, and garlic to eat it as food. The families in the ancient village often meet each other to gather on the first day of the ancestors, usually it takes place at the end of the year, or the Spring Festival, the village communal house festival or the Thanh Minh Festival. In Duong Lam, there are famous families such as Phan, Ha, Giang, Do, Kieu, and Cao. People in ancient village areas often have close relationships with each other. They often use the name of their eldest son (first son) to call their biological parents by name. Anyone who has passed away in their family must have a custom of inviting relatives to visit, and after the visit, they must go out to eat a meal to express their condolences to the family. The elderly lady in the house is also called "wood". Each relic in the village usually appoints a reputable person to take care of it, also known as an uncle. This person must be a reputable person in the village (well-mannered children and grandchildren, exemplary family, no one breaking the law or social evils). The priest of the communal house - temple must be a person who meets the above qualifications. If he is on duty and has a brother in three generations passed away (people call it an excuse or dust), he must stop and return the duty to the village immediately. At a family, village, neighborhood or clan party, the family often has to have enough dishes such as sticky rice, rooster meat, braised sweet soup, banh gai... Especially in Dong Sang village, it is famous for being a place to cook delicious meals and beautifully decorate the trays. The products in the village include sesame grown in Lo Cang, sweet potatoes in Dong Buong, peanut candy in Dong Sang, Mia chicken, water donuts, sticky rice with tiled birds in the 9th lunar month season, fish braised in soy sauce, soy sauce in Mong Phu village... Ancient houses often divided ownership rights among the sons in the house depending on whether the house had 2, 3 or 4... There were houses with only one son, the rest were all sisters, so this brother's role was even greater. No matter how many grandchildren there are, the role of male grandchildren is always emphasized and emphasized. So if one of these people wants to get it back, they have to negotiate with the others (because their father passed away and left behind a will), so some old houses today, although only inhabited by one family, are owned by several siblings. Each house has ancient architectural features, different interior and exterior space layouts such as: Mr. Nguyen Van Hung's house is different from Mr. Ha Huu The's house, Mrs. Lan's house is different from Mr. Ha Nguyen Huyen's house, Mr. Ha Vinh's house, Mr. Nguyen Van Vung's house, both Eastern and Western European (French) appearance, foreign and domestic architecture... In the house's garden, when it is not divided between the children, when getting married or having children, it is also a good environment for the family to grow plants. flowering and fruit trees such as: mango, longan, guava, jackfruit, banana, custard apple, custard apple, pomegranate, grapefruit, star fruit, kumquat... Flowers such as: wood, paper, azalea, azalea, jasmine, galangal, wolf,...spices such as: onions, garlic, chili, chives, ginger, galangal, etc. create bright green colors, four-season fragrance in the space of ancient houses such as: in winter and spring is the faint, sweet scent of osmanthus flowers, in early autumn is the smell of market fruit, the scent of sticky leaves, summer is the red color of lychee bunches and black kumquat bunches under the typical sunshine of the ancient Doai Hamlet region. Among the 97 ancient houses still remaining in the ancient village relics, there are 2 villages with the highest number of ancient houses: Mong Phu and Dong Sang. Some households that own ancient houses have known how to take advantage of it to welcome visitors, creating products and services to serve the needs of domestic and foreign visitors, which have brought quite high results. They kept the ancient space intact, forming service areas to the side, but the assembly and construction methods were also consistent with the general landscape, and collected additional artifacts dating back to customs, beliefs and practices to display in the ancient house space. That further increases the appeal and attracts visitors every time they visit. However, among them there are still many ancient houses that have experienced a long history of being affected by climate and insects, so the wooden structures and other items have been eroded and degraded, requiring conservation and restoration support from government leaders at all levels as well as the initiative of the people - thereby contributing to the work of preserving and promoting the values of ancient village relics in Duong Lam in a sustainable and effective way.

This is the place to worship the two village tutelary gods, the military mandarin of Le Bui Si Luong's reign and Mrs. Dinh Thi Trach (also known as Mrs. Lay) who sacrificed her life to let the villagers escape the disaster to pay tribute. The genealogy records that: previously this land was desolate, overgrown with trees and sparsely populated. At that time, there was a ferocious tiger in the forest, called the wolf tiger by the villagers, who often came to capture people and livestock to eat. Unable to capture this mature tiger, the villagers had to pay tribute to the tiger every year on November 10. In the village, there was Mrs. Lay, a woman without a husband or children. Understanding the pain and loss of the villagers, she voluntarily offered herself to the tiger with the hope that this tribute would stop. Her prayer before heaven and earth seemed sacred and fulfilled, because since November 10 of that year when the tiger came to pounce on Ms. Oi and took her away, people have no longer seen the tiger return to harass her. To commemorate her merits, the people built a shrine. She was later honored as the village's tutelary god and that shrine became Ha Thai village communal house and took November 10 every year as the traditional village festival. Ha Thai village communal house is also related to the military mandarin during the reign of Le Bui Si Luong (1544-1597), he held the position of Grand Master and Commander of the Palace. As a man of excellent literary and military intelligence, he had great contributions in defending Le and destroying Mac. When he came to Ha Thai, realizing that this land had the power of dragons worshiping tigers, he chose Ha Thai to establish a family home and teach people to start a business, so after his death, he was also honored as the village's Tutelary God. Ha Thai village festival takes place from the 9th to the 11th of the 11th lunar month every year and attracts a large number of tourists from all over. Source Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports.

The communal house is still called by its general name, La Phu communal house. The communal house is located on a piece of land near La Uyen village, in front of the communal house is the Nhue Giang river, an important waterway of the country, connecting the capital Thang Long to the former Son Nam Thuong region.

According to the jade genealogy book and folk historical documents, the three deities in La communal house are the great king Minh Lang, the great king An Lang and the great king Xa Than. The three great kings are heroes who have contributed to the people and the country, and are honored by the people. The Great King Minh Lang is General Nguyen Phuc, a former god of the post-Le Dynasty. He was originally from Doan Tung commune, Truong Tan district of Dong (now Hai Duong), passed the Doctor of Hoang Giap faculty of Quy Dau, in the 11th year of Thai Hoa (1453) under the reign of Le Nhan Tong. During his life as a mandarin, he held the position of Academician, concurrently the position of Deputy Thai, and teacher of Le Thanh Tong when he was young. When King Le Thanh Tong went to fight the Champa invaders, he sent Nguyen Phuc to command the transportation of military provisions. During the sea transport, there was a storm and the military supplies arrived one day late, so they were punished by death according to military law. Because he had military provisions, the king defeated the Champa army. When he returned to discuss the reward, King Le Thanh Tong vindicated Nguyen Phuc and bestowed upon him the title Minh Lang Dai Vuong, protector of the country and people, protector of the country, and at the same time, decreed 72 places of worship. Originally, the temple had a Dai Bai house, an artistic architectural work built during the Mac Dynasty, with a rectangular floor plan of 24m30m long, 9m30 wide, 1m30 wide porch, four wide, low spreading communal roofs. The boats' four-sided roofs run in the shape of the boat's sides, intersecting to create curved corners that glide up into the sky. Wooden knife carved with flower petals. The edge of the roof, the edge of the communal house's roof are covered with nails. The roof leaves of the communal house are layered with funny-nosed tiles. During the Nguyen Dynasty, King Bao Dai 11 (1936) built a 3-room harem with a house in the back located parallel to the Dai Bai. In 1948, the French invaders burned down the harem, and when peace unified the country, the people contributed to rebuilding it. In particular, about the sculptural art of the Le - Mac dynasties on the architecture of two sets of nave, the back of which borders the harem, a set of pillars with an artistic sculpture cast engraved with a dragon creating an oval shape. The dragon is shaped like a saddle, with its head in the middle of its body, revealing bulging eyes, a round nose, a flared mouth, and bat ears. From the dragon's head, thin rays of spears emanate from both sides. This is a quite vivid piece of wood sculpture art of the Mac Dynasty. On the second porch, behind the harem, the Mac dynasty dragon is engraved on the dome, on the head of the rampart and on the porch. The dragon here has a saddle-shaped body with big ears, bulging eyes, and a quill tail. The dragon's face in the middle is placed on the back of the saddle, with a wide mouth, flat nose and raised forehead. What remains at La Phu communal house, although not much, has contributed to providing material for art research. During the Mac Dynasty, it was one of the five communal houses bearing the mark of the oldest communal house. Behind is the harem, a 3-compartment house located behind and running parallel to the Dai Bai, built with gabled walls, two flowing roofs, tiled roofs with nail-shaped roofs, rectangular pinnacles, wooden architecture. The rafters are made in the form of hitching a bridge truss and have a domed ceiling system of a crab roof.

Then, sure enough, the king gave birth to a son. Seeing the fulfillment, the king immediately ordered a pagoda to be built to worship Avalokiteśvara Buddha. When the pagoda was finished, the king summoned all the Buddhist monks and nuns in the capital to stand around, chant sutras for seven days and nights, and build a large temple next to it to worship Buddha, called Dien Huu pagoda.
