DONG CUU VILLAGE COMMUNAL HOUSE FESTIVAL

- The village communal house dates back to the 17th century. Currently, the communal house keeps 11 royal edicts from the reigns of Minh Mệnh, Thiệu Trị, Đồng Khánh, Tự Đức, and Khải Định.

- The festival dates back to ancient times. Previously, the traditional festival of Dong Cuu village was held on two occasions in March and November every year, in which the March festival was related to the village tutelary deity Cao Sơn Đại Vương, and the November festival was related to the two middle-ranking deities Oai Trí and Doãn Thành. This is a village festival of wet-rice agricultural residents closely associated with the sacred space (communal house – shrine – pagoda – literary temple) where the festival takes place. The March festival was held on the 15th, 16th, and 17th, and the November festival began on the 9th to the 11th day of the lunar calendar every year, with the main festival days being the 16th of the third lunar month and the 10th of the eleventh lunar month.

However, since 2005, the village has agreed to organize it once every five years for two days (the 4th to the 5th day of the second lunar month).

- The worshipped figures are the Three Great Deities, namely: Cao Sơn Đại Vương, Oai Trí, and Doãn Thành Đại Vương.

- Rituals/skills: Sacrifice ceremony, incense offering, and palanquin procession.
