Dinh Dao Lam
Dao Lam Communal House worships four generals: Pham Van, Hoang Cong Binh, Vu Cong Tao and Crown Prince Ly Manh. All four men were instrumental in helping the Ly dynasty drive out the Luong invaders. According to the legend preserved at Dao Lam communal house, in the 6th century, the Liang Dynasty in China sent General Tran Ban Tien to bring troops to invade our country. Upon receiving the news, King Ly Nam De immediately gathered his court officials to find a plan to fight the enemy and recruit troops. Because of their talent in literature and martial arts, Messrs. Pham Van, Hoang Cong Binh, Vu Cong Tao, and Crown Prince Ly Manh were trusted by the king to entrust 2,000 soldiers to fight the enemy. When he arrived at Dao Tong village, Gia Phuc district, Thuong Hong district (now Dao Lam village, Doan Tung commune), he was happily welcomed by the people. Seeing that this place had beautiful scenery and beautiful people, the four men ordered the soldiers and villagers to set up a palace and hold a feast to welcome the army. That day, there were 20 young men in the village who asked to fight the enemy. A few days later, the army quickly set out straight to the banks of the To Lich river to fight the enemy. With their ingenuity, the army of four quickly repelled the enemy. Unwilling to lose, the Luong army asked for more reinforcements. In the second battle, due to the difference in forces and weapons, many of the four soldiers died. To complete the relationship with the young country, all four generals threw themselves into the To Lich river on the 20th day of the 10th lunar month. After the battle, some surviving soldiers returned to Dao Tong village and told the story.
