Chèm Village, the former vernacular name of what is now Thụy Phương Ward, is an ancient Vietnamese settlement closely connected to the Red River and the historic Từ Liêm region. Located at the confluence of major waterways, Đình Chèm once served as a point of convergence for trade and cultural exchange in the Thăng Long area. With its classical architecture and distinctive geographic setting, the đình is not only a physical structure but also a space where layers of historical and cultural memory have accumulated over time. The Hán–Nôm Heritage of Đình Chèm, published by Thế Giới Publishers in 2015, is an important work of collection and research on the corpus of Hán–Nôm materials associated with Đình Chèm, one of the oldest historical sites in Hanoi. The project was carried out under the direction of the People’s Committee of Thụy Phương Ward, with Dr. Trần Trọng Dương serving as chief editor. Rather than simply introducing a historical site, the book aims to recover the deeper cultural memory of a community. It situates Đình Chèm within a broader network of history, belief, and textual tradition. In this context, Hán and Nôm scripts are not merely tools of record, but vessels through which collective memory has been preserved across centuries.
