Huynh Cung Communal House
Introduction
Huynh Cung Communal House is located in the east of Huynh Cung Village, facing southeast; in front of the communal house is a spacious, open area. Huynh Cung Communal House worships Uy Mang Dai Vuong and Hong Bac Dai Vuong, sons of King Hung Nghi Vuong.
The overall architecture of Huynh Cung Communal House includes the Nghi Mon (ceremonial gate), Ta Mac (left wing), Dai Bai (main hall), and Hau Cung (rear sanctuary), neatly arranged within a closed compound. Huynh Cung Communal House still preserves many artifacts made of wood, paper, and stone dating to the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries in artistic style. The oldest surviving artifacts include a hammock set inscribed with four characters Long live the sacred palace and two wooden maces in the set of eight treasures (bat buu) in Dai Bai. Artifacts in 19th- and 20th-century artistic style include: an altar throne, memorial tablets, a worship crane, and an incense burner; along with royal edicts and a genealogy copied in the 7th Duy Tan year (1913), a set of eight treasures, and a procession plaque made in the 6th Bao Dai year (1930). This is one of very few sets of eight treasures with an absolute date, highly valuable for researching the history of worship objects in Vietnamese relics.
Huynh Cung Communal House was ranked by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) as a Historical-Architectural and Artistic Relic at national level in 1993.
