Nhan Hien Communal House, Nhan Hien Village, Thuong Tin Commune, Hanoi City

The communal house is named after Nhan Hien Village.

The ceremonial gate was built quite elaborately with two large pillars, topped with four phoenixes facing each other. Next are lantern panels decorated with the four seasons; the pillar bodies bear high-relief pairs of Chinese-character couplets that are very beautiful, praising the merits of the village tutelary deity and the beauty of the relic. The main hall was restored on a fairly large scale with five bays and two wings. The high foundation of the main hall gives the communal house architecture an elegant and solemn appearance. The roof truss of the central bay is made in the 'thuong gia chien, ha con' style, while the side bays follow the 'thuong con, ha ke ngoi, xa nach' style. The roof trusses of the side bays are decorated with tiger-face motifs holding the character 'tho' with great craftsmanship. Connecting from the central bay of the main hall is the central chamber, then the rear chamber. At the raised doorway from the central chamber into the rear chamber, a very beautifully carved pair of wooden nghe is installed. This pair of nghe was originally on the arms of the ceremonial pillars outside; when the French destroyed the communal house, the local people saved them and decorated the central chamber with them. The rear chamber has three bays, with its roof truss made in the 'gia chien, ke chuyen' style. In the rear chamber are placed a shrine to the eight deities and Ly A, and dragon thrones with memorial tablets for the two great kings Loi Cong and Tay Cong.

Legend has it that in the middle of the reign of Ly Cao Tong (1175–1210), in Yen Phuc Commune, Yen Ninh District, Truong Yen Prefecture, there was the household of Mr. Ly Cac, wealthy for generations. One day he came to Nhan Hien Commune and married a girl of the Tran family. On the 13th day of the third month, a daughter was born and named A Nuong. When she reached adulthood, although she was a girl, A Nuong's spirit was no different from that of a man. Seeing their child's character clearly, her parents sent her to study with Teacher Hien Duong.

At that time, Nhan Hien Commune suffered from natural disasters and rampant epidemics. She joined the villagers in organizing ceremonies, and three or four days later the epidemic was stamped out. After she passed away, the king conferred on her the title Queen Ly A and issued an edict for the people of Nhan Hien Village to worship her.

The artifacts still preserved at Nhan Hien Communal House mainly reflect the artistic style of the Nguyen Dynasty, including: a pair of wooden nghe, two dragon thrones with memorial tablets, and a pair of bronze cranes.

The Nhan Hien Village Festival takes place from the 10th to the end of the 13th day of the third lunar month.

Nhan Hien Communal House was ranked as a historical-cultural relic by the People's Committee of the former Ha Tay Province in 2007.
