The Tran family's mausoleum was built during the Le Dynasty (more than 200 years ago), and is a carved architectural work of unique value. The main value of this mausoleum is the art of stone carving, because all works in the mausoleum are built with laterite and green stone. From mausoleums, small huts covering altars and statues of individual dancers, the artifacts here are very diverse and contain very profound artistic content. It is a system of artifacts made of stone such as stele, parallel sentences, statues of dancers, and symbolic animals also made of stone. All of this has given the mausoleum great artistic value even though it has gone through many changes of time and many ups and downs of history. This is a place to worship typical famous people of the Tran family: The couple of Duke Tran Dinh Ngoc and Duke Tran Dinh Mien, so this mausoleum is not simply a place to commemorate famous people of one family but also a A place to witness important local events: Ceremonies, rituals, and ceremonies not only take place in the common communal house but also take place within the Tran family, deeply expressing the sentiment of "drinking". "When you eat fruit, remember the person who planted the tree" of the people. Although many documents about famous people of the Tran family have been lost, they are recorded quite clearly in the national history in the book "Dai Viet Su Ky Toan Thu" (volume I, Record of 1686). -1740) of the Social and Science Publishing House, Hanoi, 1982. The interior part of the Tran family mausoleum is currently divided into two main parts: The first part is the mausoleum (grave) including 3 small huts facing the mausoleum facing the South, the other three sides are residential areas. In front of the mausoleum area, there is a mausoleum pond, a river trough and road 19. Around the mausoleum area there are a number of compound graves (Le Dynasty). Among these tombs, it is worth noting that there are tombs of family members and villagers who have long called them "grandfather's mausoleum" and "lady's mausoleum". Most of the above graves are sunken and flat below the ground (no earthen mounds or construction above). Some houses have been dug up and are no longer intact. The second part of the mausoleum's inner temple area is considered the exterior display part of a museum. Here, there are mainly stone steles, statues of boxers and symbolic animals such as stone crocodiles and stone horses. These artifacts are built in two long rows running along the mausoleum, at the outermost are two horses kicking each other. Previously, statues of boxers had roofs like small huts. Currently, those huts are all gone and some of the stone steles here are also scattered, only to be collected later and brought back as before. All stone statues in the Tran family mausoleum are carved very elaborately and artistically, in a very vivid, clear and unique Le Dynasty style. Each martial artist has his own personality and expresses his inner feelings differently, but they all exude the majesty of soldiers standing guard over the mansion (grave) of their master. The Tran family's mausoleum is an outdoor relic, without buildings like cultural buildings such as temples, communal houses or pagodas. Therefore, artifacts related to the mausoleum, in addition to those in its area, must also include artifacts kept in the family and village here. The parallel stone steles here are extremely valuable documents and artifacts, playing an important role in research on family history, famous Tran family members and the construction and renovation process of the Tran family. this mausoleum. Statues of people and animals in Tran family mausoleums tend to be depicted close to reality (the size is the same as real people and horses). Currently, 4 statues of dancers have been brought to Bac Giang Museum to be displayed and introduced to visitors inside and outside the province to visit and study. The artifacts that originally belonged to Cau communal house are now preserved in Giua village, also in Luong Phong commune. These are ordinations, orations, and reliable evidence of the great and profound influence of famous people from the Tran family on Luong Phong village and commune. There are currently 18 ordinations, most of which belong to the Nguyen dynasty. Thanks to these ordinations, we can now know fully and accurately. Specifically, the following 5 people are - King Cao Son King Linh Linh - King Quy Minh King - Princess Dien Binh King. - Your Majesty assists the Great King of Linh Quoc.

It includes basic values that are similar to the cultural value and the architectural value of artistic carving (stone carving). This is a mausoleum built during the Le Dynasty. The art of carving reached a high level. The artifacts and stone sculptures here are very rich and diverse, deeply expressing the soul and talent of our ancestors from ancient times.

Vinh Ninh Communal House is the only typical cultural belief building of the villagers, a place to worship two saints Cao Son and Quy Minh (two generals during the reign of Hung Due Vuong). The legend of the two Saints has been passed down through many generations by local people. The story goes: Cao Son and Quy Minh are twin brothers from the reign of the 18th Hung King, in a family of ritualistic, well-educated, and talented martial artists that no one can match. When both men were 2 years old, both of their parents passed away. At that time, King Hung Due Vuong issued an order to the provinces, districts, and religions to select talented and virtuous people to lead soldiers to defeat foreign invaders. Seeing that, the two of them asked to go back to court to apply for the position. The king saw that the two men had more martial arts talent than others, so he immediately recruited and ordered them to hold the position of military commander. Although they were grateful to the king, they did not forget their parents - their funerals and worship were very thoughtful and sincere.

Dong Nghiem Pagoda
Dong Nghiem Pagoda, also known as Ke Pagoda, was built a long time ago (before the Le Dynasty). The pagoda was built right next to Nghe Ke in Dinh Ke ward. Dong Nghiem Pagoda is a branch of Vinh Nghiem Pagoda, a resting place for monks before returning to the place where Vinh Nghiem's ancestors sit down. Dong Nghiem Pagoda plays the role of Chief Administrator of Vinh Nghiem ancestral temple. Therefore, it is very likely that Dong Nghiem Pagoda was built during the Tran Dynasty and was a busy place because of the missionary activities of the Truc Lam Zen sect in its ancestral home of Vinh Nghiem. During the resistance war against the Ming Dynasty invasion, Dong Nghiem Pagoda was destroyed and ruined. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it was renovated and expanded, becoming a quite busy center of Buddhist activities of the people. The ancient architectural works of the pagoda are quite large-scale, including many buildings: the Upper Palace, the Three Jewels, the Nine Items Court, the bell tower, the grand entrance, the ancestral house, the three-entrance gate, and the garden. It is very unfortunate that due to the war, many works of Dong Nghiem Pagoda no longer exist. Dong Nghiem Pagoda still maintains a fairly complete system of worship statues concentrated in the upper palace. Most of the statues are carved from wood and gorgeously painted, among which the statues of Tam The, Amitabha, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and Bodhisattva Bodhisattva are beautiful statues. There are also many other precious worship objects. In particular, the pagoda still has 3 valuable stone steles left. Dong Nghiem Pagoda has been ranked by the Ministry of Culture and Information as a national architectural and artistic relic according to Decision No. 226/VH-QD, dated February 5, 1994.
