Dinh Thuong in Yen Thanh is in disrepair.

(Baonghean) -Dinh Thuong (in Hamlet 7, Van Thanh Commune, Yen Thanh District, Nghe An) is one of 14 temple complexes built in the late 18th century. These temple complexes worship generals who have contributed to the country such as Uy Minh Vuong Ly Nhat Quang, Sat Hai Dai Vuong - Hoang Ta Thon...


Current status of Thuong communal house.

We learned that Dinh Thuong used to have 3 rooms, one room for the palanquin, one room for the huge thunder drum. The middle room was used for meetings. In the past, every time there was a festival on the 6th month (15th of the 6th lunar month), visitors from all over came to attend in great numbers. In 1957, due to historical events, these relics were destroyed, only Dinh Thuong was not destroyed. In the 1930-1931 movement, Dinh Thuong was the place where the Van Thanh commune party cell met and led the masses to seize power. The Van Thanh commune revolutionary committee and the commune youth union were established here.

It must be said that this communal house has a very unique architecture, the carvings on the pillars, rafters and lines are very delicate, harmonious and beautiful. The communal house is located on a fairly large square of land, in front of which there is a fence (river) with water flowing all year round, behind which is a hundred-year-old Bodhi tree. I don't know why this communal house has been forgotten for a long time, let the rain, sun and time make it fall into disrepair without being repaired (see photo). Looking at the communal house with its tiled roof all torn off, its rafters as bare as dry bones, its surrounding walls gone, left to be left to rot and pollute, everyone feels regretful and heartbroken.

If this communal house were restored, it would become a strong feature of Vietnamese village culture. The village would have more soul. This would become a place for cultural activities of the village. How wonderful it would be if the old festivals such as the Luc Nguyet and Xuan festivals were restored.

Restoring, preserving and promoting national cultural identity is a correct policy of our Party, which has been responded to and actively implemented by all localities across the country. However, it is unclear why the local authorities here ignore this situation.

Cultural officials and district leaders must have seen the dilapidated Thuong Communal House standing "barely in the dust" but still had no opinion?
