Reporting at the ceremony, Village Chief Le Van Tan said that Bach Tuyet communal house is a place to worship the tutelary god - the god who has protected the country and sheltered the villagers for many generations. Documents and royal decrees still preserved show that the communal house worships Cao Son Dai Vuong - the person who had great merit following Dinh Bo Linh to suppress the rebellion of 12 warlords.

During the resistance war against the French, Bach Tuyet village was once a white belt, heavily bombarded, causing the village communal house and many other structures to be destroyed. The communal house was used by the 304th Division and the 66th Regiment as a military supply depot to serve the war. However, the people still steadfastly clung to their land, contributing to the local patriotic tradition.

Bach Tuyet Communal House is currently located in the middle of the village, including the main worshiping hall, the sanctuary, the auxiliary house and the communal house yard; in front is a heritage banyan tree, on the left is Bach Tuyet Pagoda. After the old communal house was degraded and forced to be demolished, in 2018-2019, the local people worked hard to restore it with sustainable materials, maintaining its present spacious appearance.
