The festival is mostly held at the communal house, the center of village activities, but sometimes it is held at the temple, pagoda, or at a mound, wharf, or next to a village or inter-village because the villages worship the same village tutelary god, so they set up a pillar to carry him from one village to another.

* Brief history of the Tran Dynasty

Source

The ancestors of the Tran dynasty originated from the Min ethnic group in Qinzhou district, Fujian province, China. Mr. Tran Quoc Kinh came to Vietnam from Fujian around 1110, during the reign of King Ly Nhan Tong (1072-1127), initially residing in An Sinh commune, Dong Trieu district, Quang Ninh province today; living by fishing on the river, on the way to make a living, he gradually moved to Tuc Mac village, Thien Truong district, now Loc Vuong commune in the suburbs of Nam Dinh. Tran Quoc Kinh married a woman in Tuc Mac, gave birth to Tran Hap. Tran Hap gave birth to Tran Ly and Tran Hoang Nghi. Tran Ly gave birth to Tran Tu Khanh and

Tran Thua - later honored as Tran Thai To. Tran Hoang Nghi gave birth to three sons: Tran An Quoc, Tran An Bang and Tran Thu Do[1] .

The leaders of the first generations often bore the names of fish, due to the Tran family's fishing origins. The Tran family's ancestor was named Chep, transliterated as "Ly", meaning carp. His son Tran Thua was originally named Dua (melon fish). Tran Thua's two sons were originally named Leo (climbing fish), transliterated in Chinese as Lieu (father of Tran Quoc Tuan), the second son was named Lanh Canh (cow's fish), transliterated into Canh (king Thai Tong). Tran Thi Dung was also originally named Ngu (tuna), when she became queen of Ly Hue Tong, she was renamed Dung. Later, the local people built a temple to worship her and still called her "Lady Ngu".

From the second generation, the Tran dynasty took power, so they were given the names that later generations commonly knew.

Originally living by fishing, the Tran family often lived and worked in coastal estuaries. By the time of Tran Ly (the grandfather of King Tran Thai Tong), they had become a powerful clan in the Hai Ap region (now Luu Xa commune, Hung Ha district, Thai Binh province).

When the Ly dynasty began to decline, the head of the Tran family here was Tran Canh (Tran Thai Tong), but the person who laid the foundation for the official birth of the Tran dynasty was Tran Thu Do. The Ly dynasty declined, and all power fell into the hands of Tran Thu Do. After forcing Ly Chieu Hoang (8 years old) to abdicate in favor of her husband Tran Canh (7 years old; 1218 - 1277), the Tran dynasty officially began in 1225. During its 175-year reign, the Tran dynasty led the people of Dai Viet to successfully resist the Yuan army three times in 1258, 1285 and 1288, but in the following years, since the reign of King Du Tong, the Tran dynasty weakened for many reasons, mainly due to the corruption and weakness of the mandarin system. Finally in 1400, Ho Quy Ly usurped the Tran throne, ending 175 years of reign with 13 kings of this family.
