Stone Temple, also known as Stone Communal House, is located in Nam Ha village, Tan Thinh commune, Nam Truc district, Nam Dinh province. Stone Temple in Nam Ha village is a relic worshiping the three Vu brothers, who were generals during the Hung King period, of which the youngest brother, Vu Uy, was honored as the village's tutelary god. There are also tablets worshiping his two brothers, Chinh Ngo and Gia Suu. According to the book Kim Au Ngoc Pedigree written in the first year of Hong Phuc (1572), still kept at the temple, the ancient land of Kim Au, now the hamlets of Nam Ha, Vo Lao Thuong, Vo Lao Ha, belongs to Tan Thinh commune. During the reign of the 18th Hung King in the Ai Chau region (Hoang Hoa, Thanh Hoa), there was Mr. Vu Cong who left his hometown to find a new land to make a living. From Thanh Hoa, he went to the land of Kim Au. Being enthusiastically welcomed by the people, he happily stayed to build a house and open a school to teach. Some time later, Vu Cong was groomed by the villagers to marry a girl named Hoang named Loan. Not long after, Mrs. Loan gave birth to two sons. The older brother named him Gia Suu, the younger named Chinh Ngo. The following year, Mrs. Loan suddenly passed away, and Vu Cong had to marry Mrs. Tran Thi Thinh to raise her two children. A few years later, Mrs. Thinh gave birth to a handsome baby boy, but strangely the boy had the word Vu Uy on his forehead and a row of fish scales on his back. Vu Cong immediately named his child Vu Uy. Growing up, Vu Uy and his two brothers followed the teacher to study religion. The three men were all very intelligent, knowledgeable about astronomy, geography and good at martial arts. When his parents passed away, all three of them returned to the capital Van Lang to help King Hung rule the land for nearly 20 years. His father contributed a lot in the fight against the Shu army. When Hung Vuong ceded the throne to Thuc Phan, because he could not tame the new owner, all three of them returned to Kim Au land and divided the commune into three villages and each person governed one village, then helped the people develop agriculture, professions and continue to open schools for children of people in the area. Remembering that merit, after their death, the villagers built a memorial temple. In addition to worshiping the three generals of the Hung King period, Da Temple also worships 12 ancestors (twelve ancestors) of 12 families who came here early to establish the village.
