The solemn space in the middle of the celebration room is a symbolic block: the image of a tree of life standing upright like a sprouting tree, despite the harsh conditions still rising up. Above is the vast blue sky symbolizing the world of the living, the central floor is lowered 3 steps symbolizing the world of the dead. The tree of life block is like a tree of destiny connecting heaven and earth, between the living and the dead, between the past, present and future.
Behind is a majestic relief depicting "Non Mai Song Han" - the pair of mountains and rivers symbolizing Quang Tri culture. On it are the images of 3 mountains Ta Linh Son - Mai Linh Son and Linh Son, which are also the cultural space of 3 ethnic groups: Kinh, Bru - Van Kieu and Ta Oi living on the land of Quang Tri. From that deep cultural source, the Thach Han River envelops, embraces and flows into the great sea of national culture. The Thach Han River is the dragon vein, the source of Quang Tri culture. Below is the image of “Trong Dong” - the crystallization of cultural heritage values left by generations - like a rising sun signaling a new day, a new opportunity, a new history in the integration and development process of Quang Tri province.
