All tables are covered with mats and the meals are arranged the same according to the instructions of the organizers. Officials (Tu Van) can only change seats or tables to the next or upper table when the person sitting in front is dead or absent. Just like that, seat rotation is not a priority, no matter who it is. Thanks to the strict and fair order, there is no disunity or competition for each other's seats. This is a beautiful local custom still preserved to this day.

The Ba Dinh Uprising (1886 - 1887) was one of the largest and most typical struggles in the Can Vuong movement against the French colonial invasion at the end of the 19th century. Ba Dinh Historical Relic has been recognized as a National Historical Site since 1992. In March 1886, leaders of the Can Vuong movement in Thanh Hoa held a meeting in Dong Bien (Bong Trung now belongs to Vinh Tam commune, Vinh Loc district, Thanh Hoa) to discuss plans to fight against the French. The conference decided to assign Pham Banh, Dinh Cong Trang, and Hoang Bat Dat to be in charge of building the Ba Dinh base in the northern plain of Nga Son district. Ba Dinh base is the place to protect the gateway to the Central region and is a launching pad to attack the enemy in the delta. Ba Dinh is located in the northwest of Nga Son district, including three villages: Thuong Tho, My Khe, Mau Thinh located next to each other. Each village has a communal house and a common village. Ba Dinh is located between sunken fields and two rivers, Hoat River and Chinh Dai River, isolated from neighboring residential areas, especially during the rainy season. Stationed in Ba Dinh, the Can Vuong insurgents could control the river and easily move up to Bim Son and Dong Giao to control Highway 1. Ba Dinh's terrain was very favorable for building a strong defensive fortress. Certainly, Pham Banh, Dinh Cong Trang, and Hoang Bat Dat were assigned to build and command the Ba Dinh base. In just 1 month, the Ba Dinh base was completed, surrounding the three villages is a system of earthen valleys, in some places the base is 9-10 meters wide, the wall is lined with bamboo poles, inside is a layer of mud and sand. Straw makes a very effective target. It is impossible to see inside from the outside, inside there is a moat 4m wide, 3m deep, with sharp bamboo stakes. Across the sunken field is a dense bamboo wall that covers all three sides: North, West, and Southwest. At first, the Ba Dinh insurgent army only had about 300 people, but was later supplemented. The weapons of the insurgents were muskets, rifles, bows, crossbows, and a few cannons organized into 10 squads, each squad of about 30 people led by a soldier. The supreme leader of the Ba Dinh base is Military Affairs Officer Pham Banh, while the direct commander Dinh Cong Trang is considered the soul of the Ba Dinh uprising. The Ba Dinh insurgent force sometimes numbered up to twenty thousand people, recruited from three villages and Thanh Hoa regions, including Kinh, Thai, and Muong people. The insurgent army has 10 groups, each group has a commander. Regarding weapons, the insurgents armed themselves with muskets, spears, and bows and crossbows. In 1886, the insurgents continuously attacked palaces, cities, and district capitals, blocking convoys and individual troops, causing many losses to the French army. On March 12, 1886, taking advantage of the market day, he attacked the Thanh Hoa Legation. And then, the insurgents attacked many citadels, blocked convoys, and caused a lot of damage to the French army. From December 18, 1886 to January 20, 1887, Colonel Brissand led 76 officers and 3,500 troops to siege and attack Ba Dinh base. The French army fired up to 16,000 cannonballs within a day, turning the Ba Dinh base into a sea of fire. The Ba Dinh insurgent army fought for 32 days and nights against an enemy 12 times larger, equipped with modern and advanced weapons. In this extremely fierce battle, the insurgents showed bravery and cunning, but because of the enemy's strong firepower, the Ba Dinh insurgents suffered many casualties. To avoid being completely destroyed, the Ba Dinh insurgents opened a bloody road through the dense siege of the French army and withdrew to the Ma Cao base. On the morning of January 21, 1887, the French army captured Ba Dinh. After that, the French army completely destroyed all three villages of the Ba Dinh base, continued to send troops to pursue the insurgents in Ma Cao, and then destroyed this post on February 2, 1887. After that, a large number of insurgents withdrew to Thung Voi, Thung Khoai, then to western Thanh Hoa to merge with Cam Ba Thuoc's insurgent army. In the end, leader Nguyen Khe died in battle. Pham Banh, Ha Van Mao, Le Toai committed suicide... Hoang Bat Dat was later captured and beheaded by the French because of his indomitable spirit and not surrendering to the enemy. Dinh Cong Trang fled to Nghe An. The French army offered a very high reward on his head. In October 1887, because of greed for reward money, the chief of Chinh An village secretly informed the French army to arrest and kill Dinh Cong Trang. The Ba Dinh uprising and Ba Dinh leaders are highly appreciated by history. President Ho Chi Minh later chose the name Ba Dinh to name Ba Dinh Square, where the Declaration of Independence was read, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.

The K20 revolutionary base is considered a symbol of the resilient and indomitable revolutionary spirit of the people of Da Nang in general and of Ngu Hanh Son district in particular during the resistance war against the US to save the country. The name K20 - is the code name to refer to the Da Man revolutionary base, where the District III Party Committee and the Da Nang City Party Committee are stationed to lead the revolutionary movement. In 1965, the situation in Da Man and Bac My An in particular, and Da Nang city in general, was extremely complicated. The US began sending troops into the South, implementing the "Local War" strategy, building many large military bases in the South, including Da Nang. The US goal is to build Da Nang into a military base that combines the Navy, Army, and Air Force in a solid, long-term manner, located in the North; protect the capital of the puppet puppet regime in the South, so the US built more bridges across the Han River, built a helipad in Nuoc Man, expanded and strengthened Da Nang airport and sent 17 orders. The American and Wei Dynasty arrived in Da Nang. For the US, this is a very important place, with facilities concentrated for the war in the Central region. As for us, the K20 revolutionary base is located in Da Man 5 residential area, Khue My ward, Ngu Hanh Son district, about 10 km southeast of Da Nang city; The Northeast borders the sea, the West is the Han River, the South is sunken fields and the Vinh Dien River; At the same time, it is adjacent to Hoa Vang district and Da Nang city, and is a gateway to block and protect the city from the Southeast. After the Geneva Accords, the United States and Ngo Dinh Diem's lackey government built many posts around Da Man Base to form a closed military belt and an evil government apparatus to restrain the people. people and prevent revolutionary forces from entering. That's why Da Man is considered a buffer zone for our soldiers, officers and guerrillas to use as a springboard to attack US and Puppet bases. That shows that K20 has an important strategic position in the resistance war against the US to save the country. The "steel" land to build and develop the revolutionary struggle movement right in the heart of the enemy, the connection point between the local revolution and the surrounding areas of the city and Quang Nam province and an important springboard for Our armed forces raided enemy military bases. Also since 1965, Party cadres, all levels, branches and armed forces who came to the inner city of Da Nang to direct the revolutionary movement all passed through and stayed at Nuoc Man base, operating right in the enemy's heart. to continue building the base, destroy evil, support the people fighting for civil rights and democracy in the city, protect the safety of Nuoc Man base, and take partial control of surrounding areas such as Ma Da, Da Phuoc, My Thi. The question is, right in the heart of the enemy, how can revolutionary cadres keep secrets and fight within the enemy's siege? At this time, relying on the people is considered a vital issue of the revolution and answers that urgent question. An underground battlefield was formed, which was a system of sturdy secret tunnels and trenches dug right in people's houses. In 1968, the District Party Committee of District III led by comrade Dang Hong Van instructed the people on the model of secretly digging tunnels, creating a network of underground tunnels in the village to hide revolutionary cadres. Hundreds of households actively dig tunnels day and night, forming a tight system. Each such cellar housed four to five revolutionary cadres. Although the enemy launched many raids in the village to destroy the core force, they were unable to detect it. Tunnels are dug everywhere in the house, under the bed, in the garden, on the porch... creating a solid fortress. Da Man created a revolutionary battlefield right underground during that time. The cellars were made very elaborately by the people. The tunnel mouth and entrance are very narrow, but the inside is wide enough for revolutionary cadres to do their daily activities. In addition to the main tunnel mouth, there is also a fake tunnel mouth. If there is a henchman to point out, the people will smash the mouth of the tunnel, pretending to be bricks and stones, falling down to cover the mouth of the main tunnel, both deceiving the enemy and signaling the soldiers to escape. The highlight of the secret fortification system built in K20 during this period is its high mobility and large scale. In many families, or between neighboring families, there are connecting branch tunnels that can hide many people at the same time, creating a continuous situation that is very convenient for movement, avoiding the discovery of appeared, swept away the enemy. An underground battlefield was built with a dense system of secret bunkers, sometimes up to 157 bunkers. Currently, there are still a number of secret vaults left in churches such as Mr. Huynh Phien's church, Mrs. Nhieu's church, Huynh clan's church and Mr. Huynh Trung's house. These four locations have been ranked as historical relics in the K20 National Historic Site area. Thanks to this secret tunnel system combined with revolutionary self-awareness and solidarity for the goal of liberating the homeland, the K20 army and people have achieved many glorious victories. Typically, the battle at Nuoc Man airport on October 28, 1965 was carried out by the armed forces of Da Nang City. Successfully organizing the memorial ceremony for President Ho Chi Minh, in the midst of enemy siege, the ceremony was still held very solemnly, solemnly and safely as if it were taking place in a liberated area. In particular, on the morning of March 29, 1975, the K20 people coordinated with the Quang Da armed forces to simultaneously rebel and attack all US and puppet facilities in the area. At 9:00 a.m., the flag of the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam was planted at Nuoc Man airport, signaling the complete victory of the army and civilians in the base area, contributing to the excellent completion of the cause of national liberation. with the role and function of a resistance base inside the enemy.
