Location: Qua Giang Communal House is
located in Qua Giang Hamlet, Hoa Phuoc Ward, Hoa Vang District, Danang City.
Characteristic: The house is divided into two parts: forecourt and
sanctum. They are connected by two corridors with sunscreens which makes a
self-contained rectangular.
Built in the year of Tan Ty (1821), it worships Quan Thanh and forefathers of
four clans Dinh, Le, Tran, and Nguyen who followed King Nguyen to go southwards
in order to widen territory and establish Qua Giang Village consisting of Qua
Giang, Giang Nam, Tra Kiem, An Luu, and Con Mong.
The forecourt is erected on “Chong ruong - Gia thu” structure. Pillars are
designed with ornamental pumpkins at their feet, and decorated with lotus on
their body. Two rows of 5m high pillars, two pillars of each row, support the
beam; and two rows of smaller posts support two secondary roofs. On rafters
carved trees, flowers, animals, eight weapons, and different ornamental lines.
There is a design of a carp changing to a dragon on every rafter’s end. The
sanctum is divided into three sections with four lean-tos. Four 5m high pillars,
eight 3m high secondary posts, and 16 small poles support rafters. The sanctum
has a pantile roof, a well-matched couple of the Phoenix and Rheinart’s
pheasant, two dragons looking back at each other. The four supernatural
creatures are decorated on the sanctum’s front roof. Local people organize
ceremonies on the 22nd day of the second lunar month and the 12th day of the
seventh lunar month to memorize their ancestors. Qua Giang Communal House was
recognized as a national relic by Ministry of Culture and Information on the 1st
February 2000.
