When traveling on the Nga Bay kinh, visitors will not have a hard time meeting Than Phung Hiep Communal House (located in Lai Hieu Ward, Nga Bay City, Hau Giang Province). For local people, this is not only a historical project, preserving traditional cultural values but also a space for spiritual activities.
Phung Hiep Communal House was built in 1907. This place worships the Venerable and National Hero Nguyen Trung Truc.
According to recorded documents, after the cattle were dug into the center of Nga Bay, people from all over came here to settle down and make a living, living happily. Along with the land expansion and market opening, ethnic groups living together on this land also built places of worship for people to worship and worship. That is the reason why Phung Hiep Communal House was built, with a total area of 1,800 m2.
Having the opportunity to experience the famtrip tour of Nga Bay Tourism - Culture of convergence of seven rivers, we listened to Mr. Tang Thanh Trung - a tour guide in Nga Bay City, provide more detailed information about Than Phung Hiep Communal House.
According to Mr. Trung, there are many communal houses in the South, but not all communal houses are recognized under the feudal dynasty. This statue has the royal decree recognized by King Bao Dai in 1942.
Answering the question of stone stele with the words "Sinh Sinh Tu Than" is placed in the middle of the communal house, the guide said that the people here respect the patriotism and courage in the resistance war against the French hero Nguyen Trung Truc. Therefore, people have taken the title to worship and outside the word "born general death".
This line of words praises those with meritorious services, when they are alive, they are talented generals, brave leaders, and are respected by everyone. When he passed away, his virtue will remain forever, be crowned a god, worshiped, and remembered for his great contributions to the country and the community.
This is a way to honor and affirm the immortality of National Hero Nguyen Trung Truc in the hearts of the people. That contribution has been recognized and honored through many generations.
Mr. Trung said that many tourists to Nga Bay have expressed their desire to visit Than Phung Hiep Communal House, especially those who love to explore culture, history and folk beliefs. Above all, this meaningful place of worship also has a spacious campus, covered with trees, overlooking the Seventh Aria, creating a sense of peace and relaxation.
