Tuong Son communal house

Tuong Son Communal House is located right in the center of Quang Long commune, on a relatively high ground, in front of the Mai River (Kenh Kia River) flowing through, then leaning against the sand slope as if embracing Tuong Son village. The history of village communal house construction is associated with the history of construction and development along with the political and social changes that took place in the lands of Quang Long and Quang Trach (feudal time in Dai Dan commune, Thuan Bai district). The communal house was built in the year of Canh Ngo (1750), more than 250 years ago during the reign of King Canh Hung XI. Tuong Son Communal House was initially built to worship and recognize the ancestors who publicly founded Dai Dan village and those who were assigned by the king to "protect the nation and protect the people", later worshiping loyal and patriotic gods. Through the memories of many generations of villagers, Tuong Son communal house was one of the largest communal houses in Quang Binh at that time. The communal house was built and decorated quite elaborately. The communal house includes the courtyard, vestibule and back porch. The communal house yard and vestibule are places where festivals take place and where entertainment, meetings, ceremonies, meetings, and processions of the village take place. The rear communal house is a place to worship the Thanh Hoang and gods who have contributed to the homeland. Tuong Son communal house is a combination of government and theocracy. After the failed suppression of the Can Vuong movement in Quang Trach district (1888), the French colonialists frantically sought revenge. They took advantage of the enmity between pagans and incited Vietnamese traitors masquerading as religion to burn down the village communal house. Although at this time there are only vestiges of the communal house left, the image of the village communal house is still imprinted in the memories of every citizen. With that enthusiasm, in the spring of Nham Ty (1912), the village communal house was started to rebuild on the old communal house foundation according to the architecture of the Nguyen Dynasty. After a year of working together and contributing to the village community, in the spring of the year Quy Suu (1913), the village communal house was completed. In terms of structure, the second rebuilt communal house is basically the same but more massive and perfect. In particular, the exterior perspective decoration as well as the detailed lines and patterns, engraved images of battle elephants engraved on the screen all clearly demonstrate the martial spirit of Tuong Son land. As for the rear communal house, in addition to worshiping the village's Thanh Hoang, it also worships King Quang Trung and famous general Nguyen Dung in the main area, in accordance with the wishes of the people. In 1968, due to the nature of the increasingly fierce war of sabotage by the US imperialists, the communal house was again destroyed by a bomb. It was not until 1993 that the Party Committee and people of Quang Long restored the 3-room back communal house, built of stone, brick, cement, and tiled roof to its current state. However, that work only stopped at restoring the place of worship, not recreating the artistic architecture of the old communal house. Tuong Son Communal House is a historical-cultural work, a convergence of fine traditional cultural activities of the land of Quang Long and a place for transmitting cultural values ​​between generations. The village customs and festivals taking place at the Communal House all focus on reflecting the concepts of worship and expressing the ideology of village farmers in honoring the gods. During the years of campaigning to establish local Party cells, Tuong Son Communal House was the place where communist soldiers traveled and held secret meetings to exchange and propagate the Party's policies and guidelines. During the period leading up to the August Revolution, the village communal house was also the place where rallies of the Viet Minh front took place calling on the masses to rise up to respond to the revolutionary cause of national liberation. On the night of August 19, 1945, at the village communal house, the Commune Uprising Campaign and Steering Committee was established. Here on August 23, 1945, the chief of staff handed over seals and books to the Viet Minh. Peace was restored (1954), Tuong Son Communal House was the administrative headquarters for a long time of the Quang Long Commune Committee. During the resistance war against America to save the country, to ensure the support of human and material resources for the southern front line. Tuong Son Communal House became a gathering place and stopping place for army units, a center for receiving goods and weapons. In addition, the communal house is also a place to store military equipment of company 365, artillery 37, and Quang Trach Hospital is also stationed here. When they discovered the hiding places, the US imperialists focused on fiercely raiding the land of Quang Long, at which time the communal house was destroyed. But with the spirit of all for the front line, all for victory, the Party Committee and people of Quang Long used the remaining wood to make air defense tunnels, ambulance tunnels and most of it was used to build Kenh Kia bridge for vehicles to pass through. . It can be said that during the years full of difficulties, hardships, and sacrifices against the destructive war of American imperialism, Tuong Son communal house contributed to accelerating the cause of national unification. With its historical values, in 2003, Tuong Son communal house was recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as a national historical relic.
