Dinh Thach Khoan Festival

Dinh Thach Khoan, Thanh Son

Dinh Thach Khoan Festival - Thanh Son district Thach Khoan communal house is located in Thach Khoan commune, Thanh Son district, worshiping Tan Vien Son Thanh - who is considered a typical image in the cause of building and defending the country of our people. The communal house also worships 3 princesses and children of King Hung: Princess Ngoc Hoa, Princess Tien Dung, Princess Thuy Tien, and 4 prisoners of the Dinh family from Muong in Thach Khoan commune - those who helped King Le Thai To expel the Ming invaders, preserve the homeland, and were ordained by the dynasties and recorded in history books. The communal house was built a long time ago, according to legend: After defeating Thuy Tinh, Tan Vien married a princess. While on a patrol through Thach Khoan village, he saw a beautiful terrain like a tiger ambushing a dragon. He was so pleased that he set up an office, recruited soldiers, and trained them to prepare to attack Thuc. From Thach Khoan base, Tan Vien sent troops to attack Thuc and returned victorious. God opens a festival for the army and villagers. Since then, Thach Khoan people built a communal house and worshiped Saint Tan Vien as the village's Tutelary God. Thach Khoan communal house initially had small and simple architecture with construction materials mainly wood, bamboo, palm leaves... In 1905 the communal house was newly built, and in 1914 it was burned. In 1925, the communal house was restored. In 1967, it was renovated by the State and local people and exists to this day. The communal house was built in the shape of the letter "Nhat" with 5 compartments and two compartments. The middle room looks directly towards Ba Vi mountain, with a tablet worshiping Tan Vien Son Thanh. The left palace has an altar to worship the daughter of the 18th Hung King. The right palace has an altar to worship the Chief - General Dinh Cong Moc and other prisoners of the Dinh family - who contributed to helping Le Loi fight against the Ming invaders in the 15th century. After several restorations, the communal house still retains the system of ancient horizontal panels and ordinations that are very rich and have historical and cultural value. In 2001, Thach Khoan communal house was ranked as a national historical and cultural relic, which is a motivation for local people as well as surrounding areas to continue preserving the unique cultural space. Thach Khoan Communal House Festival is a festival associated with the only ancient communal house of the Muong ethnic people in Thanh Son mountainous district to pay tribute to the merits of Thanh Tan Vien and his predecessors who explored and built this land.
