Noi Village Communal House Festival
Introduction
Dinh Noi is a communal house dedicated to the Six Great Kings in Hoai Duc Commune, Hanoi City. According to the common legend preserved at Quan Tong (Nhue Village), the Six Great Kings include:
1. Lý Trung Quân Thượng Tướng Đại Vương
2. Trình Đô Hộ Hiển Ứng Đại Vương
3. Đỗ Binh Mã Phủ Quân Đại Vương
4. Quốc Vương Lữ Nam Đế Phủ Quân
5. Quốc Vương Tề Thiên Đại Thánh
6. Đông Hải Nhuận Trạch Đại Vương
Dinh Noi has no separate royal edict of its own but uses the shared royal edict for the Six Great Kings at Quan Tong (Nhue Village).
To commemorate the merits of the village tutelary gods, the people of Noi Village hold a festival for two days, from the 1st to the 2nd day of the third lunar month every year. Every five years (in years 5 and 10), Noi Village holds a grand festival with a procession.
During the war period, the Noi Village festival was interrupted and greatly declined. In 1991, the festival was restored by the people and has been maintained regularly since then.
