Dao Xa Temple
Dao Xa village together with two villages Ngo Xa and Vinh Hau form Vinh Xa commune. Dao Xa is a large village with communal houses, pagodas, shrines, temples run by Buddhist residents and a Catholic church. Dao Xa Temple, formerly known as Suong Thien Temple or Tam Giao Dong, was built at the beginning of the village on a high, airy plot of land in the first decade of the 19th century. According to the elders in the village, around 1896, Mr. Tu, in charge of incense lamps, went to Bach Ma temple in Phu Xuyen district, former Ha Dong province to ask for a temple name to worship, naming the temple Suong Thien. Since then, people in the area have come here to worship, pray for good fortune, and ask for herbal medicine to treat their illnesses. The temple was built according to the sculptural architecture of the Nguyen Dynasty, with concrete arches and foreign internal structures. By 1929, people again contributed their efforts and money to renovate the temple to make it more grand and spacious. When the Three Saints Association was born, the temple worshiped Buddha - Immortals - Saints, three religious ancestors and worshiped national heroes who had the merit of leading troops against foreign invaders such as Tran Hung Dao and Pham Ngu Lao. The name of Suong Thien temple or Tam Giac Dong represents ideas and wishes about good things and actions according to good things. Later, the name of the temple was called after the name of the village: Dao Xa Temple. The word Dao is the name of a family whose people came to explore this land the earliest and was also the most prosperous family at that time. During the period 1939 - 1945, our Party campaigned for revolutionary struggle amid the terror and fierce search of the colonial government. Dao Xa Temple was one of the facilities to hide documents of the Hung Yen Party Committee. During the August General Uprising of 1945, many large meetings of the commune were held at the temple. When the resistance war against the French colonialists was fierce, this land was occupied by the enemy for a time, Dao Xa temple was a place where our cadres safely set foot to develop the movement, sometimes playing the role of outsiders. Temples to worship, sometimes people go to the temple to ask for medicinal leaves to treat their family members. In the temple there is a secret vault to hide officials. The rockery is raised in the middle of a lake on the campus for the purpose of hiding documents, so it is shaped like many caves and creeks deeply embedded in the middle of the faux-painted rock, looking strange and discreet. Entering the resistance war against the US, the Command of Military Region III came here to open a Military Conference to discuss combating the enemy's sabotage war and policies on measures to support the Southern battlefield. Next, the Ministry of Health chose Dao Xa temple as the evacuation location for the Pharmaceutical factory. Dao Xa Temple also preserves many precious artifacts, in addition to the elaborately built Rockery, including 24 statues, each with its own attractive look. Many sacrificial objects have sculptural value such as Ngoc Bo palanquins, thrones, hammock doors, parallel sentences along with many rare antiques such as vases, flower vases, chores, incense bowls... Dao Xa Temple, Vinh Xa commune, was ranked by the State as a National "Historical and Artistic" relic according to Decision No. 570, September 1998.

Two of Duong Dinh Cuc's generals died. He was injured and ran to the head. Lan Thuong village died. The villagers mourned and buried him to set up a shrine called Duong Dinh Cuc.

Since the communal house moved to the middle of the village, De Tham and old Cai Hau planted the Da Huong tree in front of the communal house's yard as a souvenir. The Da Huong tree later became an ancient tree that shaded the villagers from the sun and sang beautiful songs about the history of Duong Lam village. Unfortunately, it has been discontinued in recent years. Because they could not do anything to the Yen The insurgent army, the French colonialists and their henchmen returned to Duong Lam to interrogate Mr. Cai Hau. But he was the bravest person in the village and wholeheartedly devoted to the Yen The insurgent army, but they could not subdue the personality of Mr. Cai Hau. During the second period of peace with the French colonialists (1897-1909), Mr. De Tham often visited Duong Lam and Duong Lam communal house with a special affection. Duong Lam Communal House contains cultural and historical values that are worthy of respect and is a beautiful symbol of Duong Lam and is a place to commemorate the heroic spirits who built and fought for this land.
