Attending the ceremony were Lieutenant General Vo Tien Trung - former member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, former Director of the National Defense Academy; Mr. Nguyen Cong Thanh - Vice Chairman of the Quang Nam Provincial People's Council; and a large number of people from Quang Dai village, Dai Cuong commune.

According to historical records and royal decrees from the Nguyen dynasty, the Quang Dai village communal house was built during the early days of land reclamation and settlement more than 500 years ago. In the past, the Quang Dai communal house was magnificent and majestic; in front of the communal house were many ancient trees hundreds of years old, casting their solemn shadows over the roof.

In early 1908, Quang Dai communal house became a gathering place for villagers and people from surrounding areas to launch a movement to fight against the high taxes and levies imposed by the French colonialists and feudal landlords.

During the August Revolution of 1945, Quang Dai communal house was the first place in Dai Loc district chosen as a secret location to hide flags, slogans, political propaganda materials, and other supplies for the revolution.

During the war against the US, Quang Dai communal house was severely damaged and destroyed. In March 1999, Quang Dai communal house was restored with many components such as the main hall for worshipping the village guardian deity and ancestors; the mausoleum of Lady Ngoc; the memorial temple for the heroic martyrs of Quang Dai village; a statue of President Ho Chi Minh; a dedicated reading room; and a three-arched gate…

On November 24, 2023, the People's Committee of Quang Nam province issued Decision No. 2540 classifying the Quang Dai village communal house as a provincial-level historical relic.

At the ceremony, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Nguyen Cong Thanh presented the Certificate of Provincial-level Historical Monument Ranking for Quang Dai village communal house to the leaders of Dai Cuong commune.
