This is an ancient communal house of the Le Dynasty, formerly located in the Bai Dinh area. Because of the many enemy battles, Hoang Hoa Tham and the Yen The insurgent army discussed with the villagers to move the communal house to the land in the middle of the village as it is now, for ease of care and ease of operation. Duong Lam is also the hometown of Duke Duong Dinh Bot, Duong Dinh Tuan, Duong Dinh Cuc during the Le - Mac, Le Trung Hung and Nguyen dynasties. In which Duong Dinh Cuc raised a flag of insurrection against the Nguyen court, right at his village communal house. He mobilized his army to build an uprising base at Ham Rong mountain in Duc Lan, Phu Binh district (Thai Nguyen) in 1826. The insurgent army operated throughout the districts of Yen The, Huu Lung, Vo Nhai, Phu Binh, Organized many guerrilla attacks, causing hardship to the imperial army. The uprising lasted 20 years. In the spring of 1846, De Cuc and his generals went to attend the Lenh village festival at the foot of Ham Rong Thi mountain and were ambushed by imperial troops. The two sides fought fiercely. Two of Duong Dinh Cuc's generals died. He was injured and ran to the head. Lan Thuong village died. The villagers mourned and buried him to set up a shrine called Duong Dinh Cuc. After Duong Dinh Cuc's uprising, Duong Lam village emerged as Mr. Duong Van Hau (also known as Mr. Cai Hau) who helped Hoang Hoa Tham very effectively from 1885-1895. There are many legends about Mr. Cai Hau in Duong Lam. To ensure the safety of the Yen The generals and insurgents, Mr. Cai Hau had a secret tunnel dug from Duong Lam's rear palace to the pond and then elsewhere. To this day, traces still remain. During the Yen The Peasant Uprising against the French colonialists that lasted 30 years, many boys from Duong Lam village joined the Yen The insurgent army such as: Duong Van Canh, Duong Van Hanh, Duong Van Doi, Duong Van Van...

During those years, Duong Lam communal house was the place to go. of the insurgents. Duong Lam village is still a strong fortress of the Yen The insurgent army right in front of the French palace and its henchmen in Nha Nam. During that time, De Tham sent his eldest son to Duong Lam to study with Cai Hau. This proves the very close relationship between the insurgents and Duong Lam village. Since the communal house moved to the middle of the village, De Tham and old Cai Hau planted the Da Huong tree in front of the communal house's yard as a souvenir. The Da Huong tree later became an ancient tree that shaded the villagers from the sun and sang beautiful songs about the history of Duong Lam village. Unfortunately, it has been discontinued in recent years. Because they could not do anything to the Yen The insurgent army, the French colonialists and their henchmen returned to Duong Lam to interrogate Mr. Cai Hau. But he was the bravest person in the village and wholeheartedly devoted to the Yen The insurgent army, but they could not subdue the personality of Mr. Cai Hau. During the second period of peace with the French colonialists (1897-1909), Mr. De Tham often visited Duong Lam and Duong Lam communal house with a special affection. Duong Lam Communal House contains cultural and historical values that are worthy of respect and is a beautiful symbol of Duong Lam and is a place to commemorate the heroic spirits who built and fought for this land.

The lower part of the pier's ear is made up of seams, the four sides are covered with four sacred animals: Dragon, lyre, tortoise, phoenix, four sacred animals with many meanings in Vietnamese religious culture. Huong Cau Communal House has a total area of 8,971 m2, the inner communal house area is 291.60 m2. The garden is large and green with shady trees. From a distance, the wide, low roof of Huong Cau communal house with curved blades hidden in the verdant canopy of the village's trees makes it easy to recognize that it is an ancient communal house. The communal house has a very unique architecture, the grand communal house looks like a dragon communal house, surrounded by a very airy wooden railing system, and a roof system with four curved blades. The two main roof sides and the two side roof sides are covered with funny-nosed tiles. The roof edge is built to create a straight strip of lemon flowers connecting the two ends of the roof pliers. The tip of the roof pliers is stylized in the shape of a dragon's head opening its mouth to grasp the edge of the roof. The dragon's tail is a thin strip that curves like a crescent moon. In addition to the aesthetic element, it also has the element of yin and yang. His father put into it valuable folk experiences. The dragon is a symbol of kingship and a symbol of rain clouds. The crescent moon is also a symbol of rain. The dragon's head grasps the edge of the roof, making it easy to imagine the image of a dragon whirring and spraying water.

The edge of the goat is built to create a strip of lemon flowers running straight to connect with the four curved blades. The corners of the knife's head are decorated with a stylized dragon and phoenix shape with a curved shape. At the four corners of the knife's head, there are dragon heads making water as if spraying water on the edge of the river. The four curved corners of the knife's head not only bring the element of yin and yang but also make the house more elegant and soft. The ingenuity of the masons who built Huong Cau communal house, they built tough, strong but very elegant lemon flower strip edges and at the same time created four corners of curved knife heads to cover the edges of the strip, creating a soft floating roof. commercial. The great communal house has 3 rooms and 2 wings built on high ground. From a distance, you can see the roofs forming like a large boat facing down on the wooden frame for the roof. The flat, wide roof system and low structure create a large slope for the communal house roof. On the outside, it is easy to see the porch stripes running around the four communal roofs with 24 stripes. The front eaves are carved the most. The two ends of the middle stripe touch both sides. The main theme is the image of a nest dragon, a mother dragon, and a baby dragon, with details of a 4-clawed dragon and a round, fat body. In addition to dragon images, there are also human and beast images. The top of the porch on the left side has a dragon image on the inside, and there is an image of a fairy's hand with long slender fingers, long nails, holding a dragon sword. Near the dragon's tail, there is a human figure, naked body, belted around the waist, wearing a loincloth, lying on a wooden shelf, one hand resting on his head, the other hand resting on his knee, legs crossed in a five letter, looking very comfortable. Thoughts and faces are described in detail and exude a very cheerful and close feeling. The right side of the porch stripe is also covered with the main theme being a dragon with four clawed dragon details, part of the corner of the stripe has a very funny spirit animal image. The next two lines are also thickly carved with themes of dragons, swords and clouds. The remaining lines running around the four roofs are carved lighter and more sparse than the previous lines. The main carving themes are images of mother dragons, baby dragons, swords, clouds, and mother dragons always opening their mouths to grasp the roof of the ship. If in some other communal houses in the Northern countryside, at the beginning of the 18th century, the engravings of human images were absent, the folk features remained only in the animals close to the workers, then Huong Cau communal house still fully retains the close image of people and animals, retaining the aesthetics, preferences and emotions of the workers. Scenes of love between boys and girls next to the scene of "four sacred animals and four nobles". The royal art here is very strange and rough. We rarely see images of ferocious tigers, or stereotypical images of the four sacred animals and four precious animals, but instead there are images that are very everyday, close and full of folk vitality.
