Ly village and Noi village. However, because the communal house was built by people of 3 borders: Western, American, and Domestic of Noi village, that's why the communal house is called Noi communal house.

Going back in time to find the history of Noi Communal House's construction, it is known that when they had prepared enough materials, Noi villagers welcomed carpenters from Bac Ninh to build the communal house. The workers competed with each other to show off their talents, so they left behind many beautiful wood carvings at the Noi communal house. Among them, a typical carving with the theme "rowing a boat to catch a stork" is based on the classic story: "If you keep the fish alive, the fisherman will benefit", depicting the scene of a stork pecking at a boy, and a boy holding his shell tightly to the stork's beak. So the old fisherman rowed out to catch both of them. There is also a carving of two mandarins sitting and drinking together, but behind each mandarin are two sword-wielding warriors standing right next to them. People call this carving "fighting while talking". The artist seems to want to say that in anything, we need to be calm and discuss carefully, then we hope to succeed.

People see "the corner of the family pond" as an unfavorable thing, causing people in the village to often quarrel and lose unity. Therefore, the villagers asked Mr. De Tham to change direction when Hoang Hoa Tham led the army to fight the French, having a close relationship with Noi village. The insurgents often came back here to meet and discuss with Mr. Doc Tuan (Ly village); Chanh Hoach (Noi village), Tong Lo (Temple of Literature).
