Dinh Thuy Linh, Hoang Mai

Traditional festival of Thuy Linh communal house (Hoang Mai): Unique offering Legend has it that the place name Thuy Linh is also called Thuy Ai. Previously, this land was famous for growing mulberry trees and raising silkworms. Later, the old profession no longer existed, but Thuy Linh communal house and the traditional wrestling festival made many people unable to forget this land. Thuy Linh Communal House is located on high ground, has a Tam-shaped architectural structure, including the main works of front altar, great worship and harem. In addition, there are other auxiliary works such as the gate, the right gate, the garden system, creating complete symmetry for the entire monument. The traditional wrestling festival at Thuy Linh communal house, Linh Nam ward has been around for a long time. From January 4 to January 6 every year, young men in Thuy Linh village participate in the traditional wrestling festival. The competition venue is a large yard right next to Thuy Linh communal house - the place to worship Linh Lang Dai Vuong. The wrestling festival is closely related to the army training form of Linh Lang Dai Vuong - the fourth prince of King Ly Thanh Tong. According to documents related to Thuy Linh communal house relics, Linh Lang was the son of King Ly Thanh Tong and Mrs. Hao Nuong. Linh Lang was born on December 13, the year of the Snake. When he was young, he was a handsome, handsome, and intelligent child. Growing up, Linh Lang was proficient in martial arts and had better health than others. In the year Thien Cam Thanh Vu (1044), when Linh Lang was 15 years old, the King of Champa led his army to harass our country. When King Ly Thanh Tong was preparing to lead a large army to fight the enemy, Linh Lang asked his father to let him go with him. The royal army chased the Champa invaders and killed the Champa king. King Ly Thanh Tong rewarded his soldiers. With his own rewards, Linh Lang asked his father to distribute them to the people. That goodwill was greatly admired by the people. After Linh Lang passed away, the king conferred on him the title of Great King and decreed the establishment of a temple to worship. Linh Lang was built a temple by the people of Thuy Linh, honored as the village's tutelary god and worshiped in the village communal house. Every year, from the 4th to the 6th of January, Linh Nam ward organizes a traditional festival, a wrestling and water procession festival to commemorate King Linh Lang, thereby encouraging people to promote local traditions. Wrestling is a sport that trains both mind and strength, and has a very clear contractual and strategic nature. In the past, the offerings were divided into hamlets in the village, always accompanied by martial arts dances, sword dances and lion dances. Wrestling is a sport that trains the mind, so it has full content suitable for different ages, from children to the elderly in the village. However, young men still make up the majority, and their competitions always receive special attention. Participating in wrestling, there are usually four teams guarding four holes. The bridge is made of jackfruit wood turned round. After receiving the referee's signal, the four teams demonstrated their talent to steal the ball and bring it back to their holes. Each time the shuttlecock is brought back to the hole, you will receive a small prize. Three consecutive times you get a small prize, you will get the main prize (the shuttlecock must not go to the boundary line, or be brought back to another hole by your team). According to ancient custom, the winning team in the match is not only honored, but also blessed by the villagers for good luck and happiness throughout the year. Since 2013, the traditional wrestling festival of Thuy Linh village, Linh Nam ward has been upgraded to a district-level wrestling tournament. With its uniqueness and the attention of authorities at all levels in Hoang Mai district, Thuy Linh wrestling festival promises to become more widely known. For travel businesses, including the Thuy Linh wrestling festival in the spring travel itinerary in Hanoi can also be a good way, helping to create more diversity in the tourism "menu" during happy spring days.
