Hiep Ninh Communal House
Dinh Hiep Ninh is located in Quarter 4, April 30 Street, Ward 3, Tay Ninh and only about 4km from the city center. The people of Tay Thanh are always proud of a long-standing architecture that has been built for more than 100 years, not only with impressive sculpture but also associated with glorious historical periods of the Vietnamese people. Hiep Ninh Communal House worships the village's Thanh Hoang Tran Van Thien - the person who immigrated, reclaimed land and established hamlets, preserved land and protected the border. At the Tay Ninh Museum today, King Khai Dinh's decree made of precious silk fabric, embroidered with pearls and brocade, is still preserved on March 18, 1917. According to folk beliefs, village communal houses are places that clearly demonstrate the values of cultural life. For Southern people in general (Tay Ninh in particular), the village Thanh Hoang is a deity who always protects and protects all villagers to have a good, fulfilling and happy life. The majesty of the communal house, in addition to its religious roots, is also the crystallization of the "sacred soul of rivers and mountains", built over many generations, with blood and sweat to explore and protect village land. With that meaning, the historical relic of Hiep Ninh communal house is not only a sophisticated architectural work but also shows the gratitude of Tay Ninh people to the village's Thanh Hoang. Hiep Ninh communal house Tay Ninh is one of the ancient communal houses with extremely unique architecture that still exists today with a curved roof, covered with new, even, red and bright tiles. This place also preserves the massive features of dense, sophisticated and highly valuable sculptural decorative motifs. Up to now, there are no documents or historical books that accurately confirm the date, month, or year of establishment of the ancient communal house. In the book Tay Ninh historical relics and scenic spots of the Provincial Museum (2001), it is written that the communal house's construction time was "around 1880", but did not cite the exact source. In 2021, the Tay Ninh Provincial Museum made a report on "Results of the inventory of Han Nom writing materials" which also mentioned the information: "Hiep Ninh Communal House was established during the land opening period, around the mid-19th century…” Going back in time, the ancient communal house has quite simple architecture, built of rattan, bamboo and cork. However, at the Tay Ninh Museum, there is still a panoramic photo of Hiep Ninh communal house which was renovated and renovated for the first time in 1901 and the second time in 1910. Compared to the current ancient communal house, the following appearance When renovating for the first time there is not too much difference. This gives us a rather interesting historical inference, that is, the ancient communal house was certainly solidly built before the renovation in 1901, partly verifying the authenticity of the information about the ancient communal house's construction. before the 1900s. The hundred-year-old communal house is not only a relic but also a witness to a glorious history. During the historic August Revolution general uprising in the fall of 1945, the youth vanguard force gathered here, standing side by side with the revolutionary masses to overthrow the yoke of fascist colonial rule. build a new revolutionary government. In particular, during the period of 1959 - 1960, Hiep Ninh communal house was also the base of the Tay Ninh Provincial Party Committee led by comrade Hoang Le Kha, trusted and supported by the people. Hiep Ninh communal house was recognized by the state as a Historical and Architectural - Artistic Monument on October 12, 1993. Source: Tay Ninh Tourism

Realizing the importance of High Point 601, we were determined to capture it, and on the enemy side, they also tried to defend themselves by all means.
