Yen Truong Communal House
Introduction
Yen Truong Communal House worships the two village tutelary deities Chieu Trung and Do Ly, generals who participated in the Trung Sisters' uprising and were revered by the people of Yen Truong as village tutelary deities. The communal house consists of a five-bay main hall with a dragon courtyard in the middle. In front of the communal house is a village well. Artistic works from the Nguyen dynasty are shown in a number of artifacts such as: a palanquin with eight carrying poles, a worship altar, a scroll, memorial tablets, the Eight Treasures, a wooden screen, an iron washing vessel, vases, and censers... Currently, Yen Truong Communal House still preserves a genealogical record of the tutelary deity's deeds, copied by the Hanlin Academy and Dong Cac Grand Scholar Nguyen Binh in the first year of Phuc Nguyen (1572). The communal house was ranked as a historical and cultural relic by the Ministry of Culture in 1992.
