in Quang Tri Province is home to about 50 old wooden houses. They are the pride
of the local people.

According to the village’s elderly
residents, their village was established in the 15th century. The remaining nha
ruong houses have been well preserved since then.

They are built in traditional style, with
three compartments. The middle compartment is for worshipping ancestors and two
others are for living.

The house of Mr. Duong Van Ngoc is nearly
200 years old and has been well preserved.
|
 |
The houses are built with several kinds of
wood such as jackfruit, kien kien and ten mat, with pillars of 20-30 cm in
diameter, roofed by tiles.

The antique house of local resident Duong
Van Khanh Manh, called Tich Khanh Duong, was built in 1889 during the reign of
King Thanh Thai. The home is now 121 years old and Mr. Manh is part of the
fourth generation to live in the house and carry on the tradition of ancestor
worship.

The house has a width of 12.3 meters, a
length of 9.5 meters, and is divided into three sections built in a T- shape. A
total of 18 doors are also divided into groups of three to create balance in
the home. In addition, there are four alternating tiled roofs and nine graded
ones comprising over 10 thousand tiles. The house is supported by 48 pillars
made of jackfruit wood (forest jack), with each pillar measuring 30cm in

Antique fixtures such as bronze urns,
incense bowls, candlesticks and flower vases adorn the worshipping area, and on
either side of the altar there are four scrolls of Han characters intended to
educate future generations.
|
 |
Roughly translated, the scrolls convey a
message of hope for descendants to live a life of piety, develop good virtues
and be worthy of carrying on the family name into eternity.
