Chan Chim Communal House
Introduction
Chan Chim Communal House is located on high, airy ground at the end of Chan Chim marsh, near the inter-communal road, facing west, with an area of 476.8 m2. During the war, the French colonialists destroyed and leveled it. In 1993, with permission from the local authorities, the villagers voluntarily contributed money and labor to rebuild the communal house to worship Saint Hai; it is also a place for community cultural activities, meetings, and rituals, serving the cultural life of the people in the village.
At present, the architectural scale of Chan Chim Communal House includes items such as: the ceremonial gate, screen wall, main worship hall, and rear shrine; in front is a pond, creating an airy space for the relic, and in the distance is a limestone mountain range stretching like a wall from Nui Sao and Nui Tuong (Mieu Mon) of Tran Phu Commune and extending southward of the commune. Chan Chim Communal House worships Saint Hai - Thien Sy (Phu Quoc Cong Than Do Doc Pho Ta, Dai Tu Ma, Dai Tu Do). The communal house currently preserves 4 royal edicts: an edict from the 7th year of Tu Duc, an edict from the 4th year of Quang Trung, an edict from the 44th year of Canh Hung, and an edict from the first year of Thien Tri. The communal house is a place for cultural and religious activities of the people of Chan Chim Village. Chan Chim Communal House was recognized by the Ha Tay Provincial People's Committee as a historical and cultural relic under Decision No. 1958 dated December 21, 2005. The communal house shares a traditional festival with Chung Phuc Lam Communal House.
