Hoi Xuan Communal House

Hoi Xuan Communal House is located right on the frontage of Quan Nhan Street along the main axis from the Inner Communal House, past the moc duc house. It is a place of worship and the seat of the palanquins of Saint Lord (Great Prince Trung Nghia Hung Lang Cong) and Holy Lady (Truong My Nuong) during the village's major festivals. The festival is held annually, with the main festival lasting three days (the 9th, 10th, and 11th of the second lunar month). Every two years (or during major festival periods of the Moc Five Villages Festival), villagers carry out the ritual of processing the saints' palanquins from the main communal house to be seated at Hoi Xuan Communal House, attracting a large number of local people and visitors from many places. Hoi Xuan Communal House is a religious architectural work within the architectural complex of Quan Nhan Communal House, formerly in Nhan Chinh Commune, Tu Liem District, now Thanh Xuan Ward, Hanoi, on a site of more than 700 m2, tightly planned with the communal house gate, Left and Right Ancillary Buildings, the main communal house, and a garden courtyard. In terms of architecture, the communal house has a single-row ground plan, shown through a single building with refined construction art: curved roof corners, traditional shoe-toe tiles, and especially a roof-truss system structured in the stacked-beam style - a classical wooden architecture technique demonstrating the skill of former craftsmen. Currently, the Hoi Xuan Communal House structure is still preserved and restored, regularly used as a place for community activities and for organizing cultural and sports activities, especially during the new spring days every year and on the village festival on the 10th of the second lunar month. As part of Quan Nhan Communal House, Hoi Xuan Communal House carries traditional historical and cultural values and is a place preserving the cultural beauty of a traditional village in the southwest of the capital. Associated with the worship of the village tutelary god, the relic also maintains traditional cultural activities and organizes an annual festival on the 10th of the second lunar month to honor the god's merits and recall the local cultural tradition. Hoi Xuan Communal House was ranked as a historical and architectural-artistic relic by the Ministry of Culture and Information in 1989.
