Thuong Duong Ha Village Shrine
Introduction
Thuong Shrine, also known as Mau Shrine, belongs to Thuong Village, Phu Dong Commune.
The communal house is where the parents of the village tutelary god of Thuong Village, General Ha Vi Uyen, are worshipped. Legend has it that this was formerly the home of General Ha Vi Uyen's parents. After defeating the enemy, Ha Vi Uyen brought his soldiers back to his house to feast them. When the feast began, the sky suddenly darkened, and that brave general disappeared. At dawn, people searched everywhere but could not find him; looking up at the sky, they only saw a strip of silk fluttering and gradually disappearing. Therefore, the people built Thuong Communal House to worship Ha Vi Uyen and to remember the merits of the person who gave birth to this talented general. The people of Thuong Village erected the shrine right at their place of residence to worship Ha Vi Uyen's parents.
The shrine is an architectural and artistic relic associated with the Thuong Village Communal House relic in Duong Ha Commune. In front is a small brick-paved yard, surrounded by the green of the fields.
Thuong Shrine has spiritual value for the local people. Currently, the relic is cared for, preserved, and promoted by local authorities and people, who assign people to look after and protect it and to offer incense and worship daily.
