To protect the ancient house is not only the efforts and efforts of the homeowner, but it is necessary to enter and care of the functional branches …

Unique cultural “heritage” of a countryside

Located next to the romantic O Lau river with three sides bordering the river, Hoi Ky village was established about 500 years ago. Considered land “Spirit of masterpieceSo this place is chosen by many mandarins, landlords, and wealthy families as the place to build land and build a house.

The old-school houses were born like that. Currently, Hoi Ky village also has 16 old communal houses, of which there are 15 houses and 1 family church. Most of the communal houses here have a lifespan of over 100 years. In particular, there are many houses with a lifespan of more than 200 years such as the house of Mr. Duong Quang Dan, descendants of Mr. Ky’s house (the rich man of the old landlords village); the house of Mr. Duong Van Tue, a descendant of the chief physicist; Mr. Nguyen Tien Dung’s family is descended from Mr. Do …

Taking us around the village, Mr. Nguyen Be, Secretary of the Branch, Head of Hoi Ky village said that each house of Hoi Ky ancient communal house has its own unique spirit of ancient architecture and lifestyle. To make these unique homes, its owners have to store wood for many years.

Those are the types preous wood Chosen for size color, block-tight box. The craftsman chosen to build a house must also be highly skilled. Every detail, even the smallest, of the house is meticulously designed.

In particular, according to many people, when the house is completed, when the house is checked and accepted, the owner will use a large mug of water to pour into the joint position between the wooden pillars. The house is rated when water does not flow through those locations; If the water is leaking, the landlord will “arrest” the worker. Therefore, each old house is an expensive and enthusiastic work of art, valuable in terms of history, culture, architectural art of both the builder and the owner.

Designed in the form of 3 rooms with 2 wings or 1 room with 2 wings, the middle room for ancestor worship and reception desk, the Western room for men to live and the East room for women to live, the houses here are all bearing signs The private countryside of the Central region when there is a mezzanine known as “tra” to store rice, rice, utensils and is a shelter for families when flood water rises.

Mr. Dung is a descendant of the 5th generation teacher Do, one of the famous people in the village in the past. Carrying out ancestral training, up to now, many generations of Mr. Dung’s family have preserved and kept the old house order. His house has a panel called “Four great roads” roughly translated as 4 generations of father-son-grandchildren always living in the same house. This is the advice and desire of the person who gave birth to this house to send to generations and descendants.

Currently, Mr. Dung’s family has two old-school houses, in which the main house in the middle of a room with two roofs is still relatively intact, but the other house has been modified and restored to serve the needs of use. like preserving the house.

Mr. Dung confided: Carrying out the teaching of his ancestors, his family is still trying to keep the house order according to instructions. Currently, the most difficult problem in preserving and conserving ancient traditional houses is the severity of natural calamities, especially before storms and floods like last year. Not only his family’s communal house, but also other families were severely degraded, and the structure of the house was damaged.

It is very difficult to preserve the old traditional traditional houses, when the cost is very high and skilled workers are very rare. The temporary way in the short term is to keep the ancient system of the old chest intact and repair damaged places with bricks, cement …

Mr. Dung said his family had to repair many details such as the roof, the body, the front porch support system … to be able to serve the needs of using as well as protect the house.

Hundred year old school house conservation

In the two old houses of the Dung family, the East house was repaired with a concrete wall, the floor was re-tiled with flower tiles, the tile was also new in a modern style instead of tile. double-door instead of scientific door … However, the system of trusses and ancient chest is still intact with separate motifs. For the main house in the center, it still retains the ancient features, has not been affected much in the structure and construction structure. However, the system of pillars on the front porch and wall was repaired, renovated, built with cement …

Like Mr. Dung’s, Duong Quang Dan’s house is also in a similar situation, although the system of the communal house still remains unique because the system of ancient temples over 100 years old, scientific doors and tile …

However, due to the time factor, the house was degraded, Mr. Dan also restored the house to suit the needs of use. The 4-pillar system in front of the eaves has been rebuilt with concrete, the side of the house is rebuilt with cement walls, the floors are tiled with flowers … This is the common feature of most ancient houses in Hoi Ky village today. . In order to suit the needs of use as well as overcome the impact of time and natural disasters, most ancient houses are renovated and remodeled by the owner.

With a unique imprint on the personality and soul of a countryside from the time of opening and setting up a hamlet, but today, this communal house is facing the fierce of time and natural disasters. Currently, many houses have been seriously degraded. Besides, the repairs encountered many difficulties when the implementation cost was very high. Most of the houses are renovated in the form of renovation when it is not possible to restore the original condition according to the original design.

Mr. Bui Van Sinh, Chairman of Hai Chanh Commune People’s Committee, said the biggest difficulty in preserving the throne ancient communal house Currently, they are not properly preserved but mainly rely on the restoration of the house owner. Because of the difficulties in the maintenance and maintenance funding, many families want to sell old traditional houses because of the above reasons.

Facing this situation, the commune held propaganda and advocated people not to sell but to take measures to protect and preserve for the next generations. The commune government is also working with the Hai Lang District Department of Culture and Information to develop a project to connect Thac Cho – ancient village of Hoi Ky. Hopefully, the development of tourism will bring economic efficiency, help people restore, repair and protect as well as contribute to promoting the beauty of Hoi Ky ancient village to tourists from near and far.

The Hoi Ky ancient communal house system is a unique culture left behind by the ancestors’ generation that needs to be preserved and passed on to the next generation. However, to accomplish this, it is necessary to enter the conservation functions according to the original values ​​of the old traditional houses.

Mr. Do Van Binh, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Quang Tri province, said that Hoi Ky ancient village is a distinct advantage of Hai Lang district in terms of culture and history, this is also a place to visit. full of fun.

Thereby, it creates conditions for promoting the unique image of Hoi Ky ancient village as well as generating income for the locality, contributing to the protection and restoration of ancient traditional houses.
