Sai Dong communal house festival

247B Nguyen Van Linh Street, Phuc Dong, Long Bien

Sai Dong communal house relics and festivals Sai Dong in the past was a rich agricultural village, the traditional name is Sai village, in Cu Linh commune, Cu Linh district, Gia Lam district, Thuan An district, Bac Ninh province (Kinh Bac town). Sai Dong communal house was built many centuries ago, now located in lane 247B Nguyen Van Linh street (Phuc Dong ward, Long Bien district, Hanoi). The communal house is the place to worship Linh Lang Dai Vuong - son of King Ly Thanh Tong, who had meritorious service in the resistance war against the Song army in 1076. He is worshiped by the villagers of Sai Dong and 269 other villages in Hanoi. Sai Dong village communal house has the structure of the letter "Ding". The great hall consists of 3 compartments and 2 compartments, facing southwest, overlooking a round well, then the brick yard and the ritual gate. The 5-compartment grand communal house is built in the style of a gable wall, followed by a communal house connected to the harem which is a one-compartment building, on both sides are left and right windows with a width of 4 rooms. In front of the communal house gate, there is a long lake running along Highway 5. This was originally a field that Lord Trinh gave to villagers to make incense fires to worship the god Linh Lang. Later, most of the fields of the surrounding villages were taken to build Gia Lam airport, the remaining fields of Sai Dong were dug close to the communal house to build the foundation, thus creating the lake. In Sai Dong communal house, there is still a sacred relic, 12 ordinations, dragon throne, tablets, 9 bronze pedestals with 9 silver bowls inside, 1 set of precious bowls, 2 bathing stalls carved with dragons and phoenixes, 1 pair of cranes standing on the backs of turtles, 1 wooden gong from the 18th century... The annual Sai Dong communal house festival is held from February 7 to 12, with many unique games. On the morning of the 7th, the villagers organize a festival and procession of long province water (sacred water from dragon well) at Nghe well. On the morning of the 8th is the main festival, the villagers make offerings to welcome the procession of tablets and incense bowls to the communal house. Each ward must prepare a "pig" to sacrifice to the Saint and process the throne and altar tablet to the communal house. The palanquin procession of bowls includes 16 people who rotate in procession with fan flags, bowls of sounds, bowls of halberd, and bowls of treasure. Indispensable is the lion dance - a "cosmic" dance, representing the roiling sky to let vitality flow in for all species to proliferate and develop. On the evening of the 8th and 10th, there is the Han Am offering ceremony and Ca Tru and Cheo singing. On the 8th day, Mai Phuc's brother will go down to Sai Dong's sister's to celebrate the Holy Mass. The 13th is the spring worship ceremony that closes the communal house. Sai Dong communal house was recognized as a national historical and cultural relic in 1992.
