Introduce
Nhat Tan communal house was formerly called Nhat Chieu, because it was formerly known as Nhat Chieu palace, Quang Duc district, Phung Thien. The new renaissance of Khai Dinh changed Nhat Chieu to Nhat Tan. In 1946, Nhat Tan and Quang Ba merged into Quang Tan. In 1955, Nhat Tan was separated in District V, outside of Hanoi. In 1961, Nhat Tan was in Tu Liem district. In 1995, Tay Ho district was established then Nhat Tan belonged to Nhat Tan Ward, Tay Ho District.
Nhat Tan is an ancient land in bold historical traces of the Hung Kings. Folklore legend says that there were 7 ancient trees that Lac Phu, wife of Lac Long Quan planted to record her birth of seven eggs and later turned into seven dragons flying to heaven. 7 rice plants disappeared but in the poem "Tay Ho" written by Nguyen Huy Luong in the last year of the Tay Son dynasty (1802), there is a saying: "Seven places have roots, and there are no signs of aging” is the 7 trees.
Nhat Tan is a small place with lots of people, mainly near the river. There are only a few people who have stayed here from the past who specialize in growing mulberry and spreading flowers. The technique of planting peach blossoms in Nhat Tan reached a level of skill that no place can keep up.
Nhat Tan communal house is now in group 1, Nhat Tan Ward, Tay Ho District, Hanoi. The communal house is in the west of the West Lake, on the way to West Lake Water Park. Previously the communal house was built in the style of the letter “tam”, but now only five rooms of the front house and five rooms of the harem in the shape of the letter “nhi”.
Nhat Tan communal house was founded to serve the worship of Uy Linh Lang, a legendary figure. He is originally a dragon, son of Lac Long Quan. He often showed up in the river to help rescue the Vietnamese people out of disaster threatening, making the country a peaceful place. Scrolls in Nhat Tan ward, Yen Phu ward, "Tay Ho Chi", "Thang Long co tich khao" ... records of him as a historical figure like Tran Quoc Tuan, Tran Quang Khai, Tran Nhat Duat.
The scroll Aea2 / 38 kept at the Institute of Nom study scripts:
Vuong is the main Hong Bang family, and is the second son of Bach Viet. Lac Long Quan married Au Co, she gave birth to 100 sons, then divided in half to master the mountain and the river to look after the people. King Vuong is originally the Dragon, called Uy Linh Lang, along with six brothers are Bach Giap, Hoang Giap, Hac Giap, Thanh Giap, Chu Giap and Tu Giap ordained here. In Tran Thanh Tong’s reign, Minh Duc Empress was over 30 years old but still had no children so she often went to the temple to pray. She also enjoyed the view in the Nguu area. One day, she saw a guy bow to prostrate and said: I am Uy Linh Lang, long time king of this land. Now I see the cross by, giving a lot but I have nothing to return. Yesterday, heaven accepted for me to go down to the earth. Suddenly she woke up feeling conceived. At 2 am on February 2 in the year Tan Suu, she gave birth to a bundle. The queen felt bad about it so she put it in a bucket and dumped it in the street. Many people crossed over, strange to see that they only dared to stand far away to see it. When the sun was up, there was a huge thunder. Everyone in the village came out to see the bundle was broken, a child was in the basket. Then the rumors came into the palace. The queen was surprised so she sent a maid out to see the boy. He looked elegant, majestic, intelligent and enlightened so she quickly returned to report to the king. The king laughed and said: Formerly Cao Tan had Nguyen Khuong give birth to Hau Tac as the same way as this. This is not too strange. Then he ordered a servant to bring him back to nurture. Five months later he can talk, one full year later he can stand up like an adult. So, the Emperor and Queen loved him a lot and named him Uy Linh Lang. When he grew up, he was so talented that everyone had to admire him. When he was 20 years old, he liked to travel and many times offered to be a monk. The King and Queen disagreed. He went to Nam Xuong to escape and receive teachings of Buddhism. Only a few months pass by but he understood all the books of the Buddha so he is especially good at Buddhism theory. The King and Queen were very grateful, gave him a house in the South gate, which is the suburbs of Binh Tho, now in Yen Tho district, giving a monthly salary to live.
More than 20 years later, in the Tran Nhan Tong era, the enemy general Toa Do brought 40 thousand troops divided into two ways to enter our country. All the people in the country were very anxious. Suddenly he said: "People born in the heavens and the earth must be a great hero, must be in the battlefield rather than being in the house and living day by day, if so what can be told to the children of them? He proposed a plan to fight back the enemy, himself would bring his soldiers to fight the enemy. The king complimented him for having great vision and mind so he agreed. He assembled his troops, recruited ten thousand soldiers then divided them into groups to practice and prepare for the battle. He called his army “Thien Tu quan” (Son of the heaven army), fighting against the Nguyen in Ban Than. The enemy was defeated, our army surpassed them to the north, beat them in the Dong Mai River, rejoined troops with Tran Nhat Duat, Tran Hung Dao in Van Kiep to wait for orders. They fight the enemy in Man Tru, burn down the camp of the enemy in the East. One day win eight battles, capture the enemy general O Ma Nhi ... and a lot of soldiers. From then on, the Nguyen dynasty did not dare to bring troops to invade again, the country returned to peace. After reviewing what he had done, he was conferred as Dam Dam Dai Vuong (Great King of West Lake).
By the time he passed away, he was 36 years old. The King and Queen were very sad and immediately built the temple where he died to worship him and called Nhat Chieu palace, or Linh Bao palace, or Temple of Uy Linh Lang, called him Hien Minh Duc.
By the time of Tran Nghe Tong, he implicitly helped the Yen Hoa dyke from breaking. His 6 brothers also confer “Dai Vuong”. Bach Giap was Chu Ma Dai Vuong, Hoang Giap was Minh Khiet Dai Vuong, Hac Giap was Hoang Liet Dai Vuong, Thanh Giap was Dong Nga Dai Vuong, Chu Giap was Phuong Ba Dai Vuong, Tu Giap was Dong Dau Dai Vuong. All of them were worshiped. Then the sacred is more clear, the temple of Dai Vuong in Quang Duc district, Phung Thien. Quang Duc later changed into Vinh Thuan district, Yen Hoa ward, and then Yen Phu ward. Thi Lien Village in Thu Le camp also has a worship temple, as well as Thanh Phai, Thanh Tri temples.
