Leader of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism hands over certificate recognising Sau Thuong communal house as a provincial-level historical relic site to leaders of Luong Son district and Thanh Cao commune.

Sau Thuong communal house is located on Giua Dong mound, Sau Thuong village, Thanh Cao commune. In the past, the communal house had four conferment by kings of the feudal Nguyen dynasty. It worships the God of Mountain who protected the country and have been honoured and worshiped by the people for many generations. For a long time, Sau Thuong communal house has been famous for its sacredness, so local people often come to offer incense and pray for fortune, good weather, and prosperous business. The communal house festival is held on the sixth day of the first lunar month every year.

Through ups and downs of the history, the ancient communal house was heavily damaged and seriously degraded. In particular, in 1950, it was bombarded by the French colonialists and had its columns removed to make posts. In 1980, the communal house was rebuilt on the old ground with a total area of more than 4,500 sq.m. Surrounding the communal house are large rice fields, creating harmony and closeness between the human being and the nature.

Recognising its outstanding and typical historical and cultural values, on January 9, 2024, the Chairman of the provincial People's Committee issued a decision on rating the communal house as a provincial-level cultural and historical relic site, thus creating favourable conditions for local people to preserve, restore and promote its values.

Currently, Luong Son district counts 19 rated relic sites, including eight national-level and 11 provincial-level ones. Thanh Cao commune houses one national-level and five provincial-level relic sites.
