Through the eastern land of Thuy Duong district (the old name of today's Thuy Nguyen), we found that the land here is spacious but the population is still very sparse. They immediately discussed and agreed to establish a new area to live in. After that, from their old hometown in Cam Giang, many people continued to come and explore the land, establish hamlets, and the village became more and more crowded. The genealogies of these migrating families have been passed down by generations of descendants, honoring the great-grandfather Pham Viet Trinh as the person who made the first contributions in exploring and organizing land exploration to establish the An Lu village today. After 7 years of moving the population to the land along the Cam River, many villagers continuously suffered from epidemics, were constantly sick, were confused, and intended to return to the old place to do business and live. When you calm down and remember your hometown, there is a medicine made from herbs that are ground yellow, ground, then boiled and drunk. The good medicine was passed down by the great physician Tue Tinh. Everyone told each other to follow the instructions. Indeed, the epidemic was repelled and the population was at peace. That year, in the Dong Sim area, the villagers built a small temple to worship the famous doctor, and named the village An Lu, meaning peaceful village, and the common name was Xua.

Over time, war, and harsh nature have completely destroyed the original relics of the village worshiping the famous physician Tue Tinh. In early 1948, An Lu villagers welcomed the famous tutelary physician Tue Tinh to worship at An Bach temple, where villagers worshiped national hero Tran Quoc Tuan and his sons at the current relic site. now. The statue of the great physician Tue Tinh was created by folk artists with skillful hands, rich in traditional Vietnamese art. The statue is made to resemble a real person in the style of a round, solemn statue in official uniform of the late 19th century. The annual An Lu village festival takes place from the 11th day of the 11th lunar month. Depending on conditions, the festival can last from 3 to 5 days. What is special for both Thuy Nguyen district and An Lu village in particular is that in addition to the festival commemorating the great physician taking place at his temple, cultural traditions imbued with local identity are also preserved such as: holding the Xua market in the morning. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are many local products and many other rich countryside. Here, people meet each other in the new spring, wish each other good things, and hope for a new year with lots of luck and prosperity throughout the year.
