Based on the ordination stele as well as ancient bibliographies, the pagoda was built during the Ly dynasty, and in 1262 the Tran dynasty expanded to a more grand scale. In 2012, Pho Minh Pagoda was ranked by the Prime Minister as a special National Monument. Because in front of Pho Minh Pagoda there is a tower, the pagoda is also known as Chua Thap, the Tower is also known as Pho Minh Tower. Pho Minh Tower is a unique architectural work. This is the largest, oldest and most intact tower in Vietnam. The book Nam Dinh Province Geography by author Khieu Nang Tinh records about the pagoda as follows: "During the Tran Dynasty, King Nhan Tong restored his residence as a monk. When the king died, Anh Tong built a 14-storey tower, 53 meters high, with 10 meters on each side to house the relics. During the Tay Son period, the governor of this region broke the top of the bronze gourd tower. When we reached the 13th floor where the stone was, we saw an object shaped like a red ribbon flying into the sky, so we stopped destroying it..." In addition, among the people, there is also a saying of Buddha Emperor Tran Nhan Tong: “No matter who competes for the throne I would like to send back this handful of temple bones." Therefore, researchers believe that this is a tomb tower. Currently in the country there are only three towers built during the Tran Dynasty: Pho Minh tower (Nam Dinh), Hue Quang tower (Yen Tu, Quang Ninh) and Binh Son tower (Lap Thach, Vinh Phuc), but Pho Tower Minh is still the more majestic tower, with the most elaborate, artistic, and technical construction. The tower was built right in front of the worshiping house on the North - South axis. The tower has a total height of 19.51m including 1 palanquin and 13 floors. The tower is built on a small square yard, each side is 8.6m and located 0.45m lower than the ground. The palanquin is the base of the tower designed entirely of green stone, each side is 5.20m long. At the foot of the tower there is a lotus flower with large petals and small petals, gradually tilting towards the corner of the tower from the middle, symbolizing a lotus platform holding a palanquin. The lower part of the stone pedestal is shaped to curve up on both sides, making people mistakenly think it is due to the rock sinking, but in fact, the construction was intended to create momentum for the more than a dozen floors above to have the same curvature. Looking at the entire tower, people will think of a Lotus flower rising and blooming in the middle of a lake. From the palanquin and above, there are 13-storey towers built of red bricks with 4 gates: East, West, South, North. Previously, all the floors had exposed Dragon motifs and beautifully decorated flowers and leaves. The higher the tower floors went, the smaller the height and width of the tower's face became. At the top of the tower was a cube with the shape of an unbloomed lotus flower made of old terracotta. Unfortunately, in the early years of the twentieth century, when repairing the tower, people placed a coat of cement material on the outside of the tower, causing the patterns on the bricks to be lost. In 1987, because some of the upper tower floors were cracked by tree roots, the cultural sector repaired and restored them. During the renovation process, people discovered that on the 11th and 12th floors of the tower, there was a stone sarcophagus surrounding a bronze box, which according to people's legend, could be the box containing the relics of Buddha Emperor Tran Nhan Tong. . Pho Minh Tower has existed for 7 centuries. Despite experiencing many storms and natural disasters, the tower is still preserved almost intact, becoming a rare wonder that makes it unique not only for the city. Pho Minh Pagoda but also Nam Dinh province in general. Source: Management Board of Historical-Cultural Relics Tran Temple and Thap Pagoda

Trieu Hoi communal house in Bo De commune, Binh Luc district, Ha Nam province is a place to worship two village tutelary gods. One was Cao Mang, a talented general of the Tran Dynasty, and the other was Tran Xuan Vinh, who passed the second doctoral degree and became a mandarin under the reign of King Le Thanh Tong, in the reign of Hong Duc. The genealogies of the two gods are now lost, but the villagers still tell the strange story about the doctor of Le Dynasty Tran Xuan Vinh. Legend has it that, after passing his doctorate, on the way back to visit his hometown by Chau River, his and his parents' boats capsized, the whole family drowned, and his body floated to Bai Nhot. People built a small temple to worship him. The temple is very sacred, so the villagers asked for incense sticks to build a temple to worship him as the tutelary god. Thus, according to legend and logical reasoning, the god Cao Mang of the Tran dynasty must have been worshiped before, and after having a temple to worship the doctor of the Le dynasty, a communal house was established to concubine these two gods. Trieu Hoi Communal House is built in a three-compartment style: the front hall has five rooms, the second palace has five rooms, and the main palace has three rooms. The communal house has been renovated many times and on the upper salary, there is a record of one renovation in the sixth Thieu Tri era. The front hall has five compartments, roofed with male tiles, and the roof is covered with two dragons flanking the moon. The communal house's door frame is made of ironwood. The floor is paved with silk thread tiles, true to the ancient style of Vietnamese communal houses. The door set is made in the style of a table, with sliding bars on top and bottom. The second palace was repaired many times, the carvings remaining only on the first verses, 4-line armpit beams with simple stylized motifs. The three main rooms are designed with ironwood like the front hall, although the carvings here are not as elaborate. Trieu Hoi Communal House is classified as a historical relic because it was here that a demonstration march to demonstrate the prestige of farmers in the area took place on October 20, 1930. This march aimed to mobilize the masses to fight for the abolition of the Cai Luong council, for a reduction in tax collection, to support the Nghe Tinh Soviet and the struggle of farmers in Tien Hai and Thai Binh. Bo De commune was chosen as the location of that protest because the Ha Nam Provincial Party Committee determined that not only was the movement stable, but it was also adjacent to three districts of Binh Luc, Ly Nhan, and My Loc, so it could focus on promoting prestige. The time of the protest was set for October 20 because that was the main session of 3 markets: Bo De, Thanh Thi and An Ninh. At exactly 7 a.m., the drums at the Trieu Hoi communal house rang out, the red hammer and sickle flag flew, and protesters posing as market goers began to stand in line. Under the direction of the Ha Nam Provincial Party Committee and Binh Luc District Party Committee, the protest group went to designated locations such as Diem Tong, Don market (An Ninh), Ba Hang (Thanh Thi), speaking and broadcasting while walking. A petition calling on people to rise up and fight against feudalism, against terrorist attacks, and to support the Nghe Tinh Soviet Union. The protest group is increasingly crowded, starting from Bo De market with 300 people and reaching Vac market (An Ninh) to thousands of people. Faced with the overwhelming revolutionary spirit of the protest, the landowners, tycoons, and lackeys of the French colonialists were very frightened. At 12 noon, the leaders decided to hold a rally at Voc market and then disperse. The demonstration was a complete victory. The victory of the protest is an important political victory, having a great influence on the political struggle movement in the province and the whole country. This event was taken by leader Nguyen Ai Quoc as a proof of the spirit and revolutionary ability of Vietnamese farmers in his report to the International Farmers on November 5, 1931.

The insurgents completely occupied the inside of the station, but upstairs, the enemy still stubbornly used guns to shoot sporadically, at the same time calling Saigon and Thu Dau Mot for emergency help.

Unable to hold out, the insurgents withdrew from the town, dispersed to the villages, the armed forces withdrew to Ben Do hamlet (Tan Phu Trung) and then moved to My Hanh hamlet (Duc Hoa).

Another equally humiliating event for the US Embassy was the chaotic escape that occurred on April 29 and 30, 1975 by the US and its accomplices. Faced with the rapid attack of the Vietnamese army and people in the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, over 1,000 Americans and more than 5,000 pro-American Vietnamese jostled, pushed, and kicked each other to compete for a place on the terrace of the building. building to be rescued by helicopter.
