Phu Huu Communal House

Phu Huu Communal House worships in memory of Bo Chieu Don Ngung Linh Ung Dai Vuong, who had the merit of fighting the Yuan-Mongol invaders of our country in the 13th century. The spirit genealogy compiled in the 4th year of Vinh Huu (1738), currently kept at the communal house, states that he was a native of Vi Hoang village, My Loc district, Nam Dinh. In childhood, his father named him Tran Thong; when he grew up, he was accomplished in both literature and martial arts. At that time, the Yuan-Mongol invaders invaded our country. The king ordered Tran Thong to lead the great army to battle to defeat the enemy south of Thang Long citadel. When he arrived at Phu Huu village, he had his troops stop and rest at the village's shrine. Respected by the local people, they prayed to the deities to support him in defeating the enemy. Indeed, in the battles in which the righteous army engaged the enemy, they won many victories. When the country was at peace, King Tran Nhan Tong (1278–1293) praised and rewarded him; he returned to Phu Huu village and gave money to the people. When he passed away, the people of Phu Huu village honored him as the village's Thanh Hoang and the king bestowed the title: “Uy Linh Ho Quoc Duong Vu Duc Khanh Bao Canh Hien Hieu, Hung Kiet Tro Thang Thuong Dang Than”

In addition to the deity Tran Thong, Phu Huu Communal House also worships a celestial deity named Tu Loi Dai Vuong. On April 19, 1991, the Ministry of Culture and Information issued Decision No. 680VH/QD recognizing Phu Huu Communal House as an architectural and artistic relic.
