Dai Ban Communal House
Introduction
Dai Ban Communal House is named after the administrative place name of Dai Ban Village, whose vernacular name is Bun Village Communal House, now belonging to Dai Han Village, Thuan An Commune. According to local folk legends and the deity register still kept at the communal house, Dai Ban Communal House is where the tutelary deity, layman Hoang Hoa Dai Vuong, is worshipped. He is a superior deity of the Tran dynasty with the title layman Hoang Hoa Dai Vuong during the reign of Tran Thai Tong. Dai Ban Communal House is a folk religious architectural work built around the late Le period. Dai Ban Communal House has a long history of construction. Currently, the communal house still preserves some carved panels in the artistic style of the 17th and 18th centuries along with a system of deity investiture certificates, including the earliest certificate dated to the 4th year of Canh Thinh (1796). Thus, through the evidence, we can estimate the construction date of the communal house to be around the Le period. Existing to the present, the communal house has undergone many restorations and repairs during the Nguyen dynasty and in 2025, it was renovated and embellished spaciously to meet the people's religious and spiritual activity needs. Through surveys and research at the relic site and based on the values that the relic still preserves, Dai Ban Communal House was ranked as an architectural and artistic relic by the Ministry of Culture and Information under Decision No. 38/2007/QD-BVHTT dated August 3, 2007.
