Thong Nhat Communal House
Introduction
Thong Nhat Communal House is an ancient communal house located in Thong Nhat Hamlet, Ung Hoa Commune, Hanoi City (formerly in Dong Lo Commune, Ung Hoa District). It is a typical historical and cultural relic of the locality, associated with the formation of Xuyet Luu and Tieu Thieu villages, two ancient villages that merged into present-day Thong Nhat Hamlet. The communal house is the center of the local people's religious and community cultural activities.
According to local records, Thong Nhat Communal House was originally the communal house of Xuyet Luu Village, a communal house with a long history. In the early 19th century, the area that is now today comprised two hamlets, Xuyet Luu and Tieu Thieu, in Dong Lo Commune, Dong Lo Canton, Son Minh District, Ung Thien Prefecture, Son Nam Thuong Trấn. After many changes to administrative boundaries under the Nguyen dynasties and in the modern period, by 1960 the two villages of Xuyet Luu and Tieu Thieu were merged into Thong Nhat Hamlet as it is today.
