COMMUNAL HOUSE IN THANH HOA - ITS PRESERVATION AND PROMOTION

Abstract

Thanh Hoa is a land rich in historical-cultural traditions, still preserving many valuable communal houses, distributed mainly in the delta and coastal areas. Due to many reasons, both objective and subjective, such as natural disasters, historical changes and daily activities and the unconscious influence of people, many communal houses are at the risk of being destroyed. The article studies the transformation of the communal house and the worship of the village tutelary god in Thanh Hoa in order to propose solutions to protect, preserve and promote this special historical relic.
