Although there have been some studies on Xuan Dieu's poetry, this dissertation takes a new approach: exploring the poet's system of artistic concepts. It examines how these artistic concepts guided his creative work in both the periods before and after the August 1945 Revolution, within a unified whole.

10. Summary of the new findings of the thesis:

The thesis clarifies that Xuan Dieu's conceptions of art and writings were always consistent. Many of his conceptions have hitherto had positive significance so far. However, some of them have become outdated. From these findings, the thesis contributes to the theoretical research on poetic creating opinions in Vietnamese literature today.

Although there have been some studies on the poetry by Xuan Dieu, the thesis has been done with new capproaches such as studying on the system of artistic conceptions of Xuan Dieu; moreover, it raises the question of how these artistic concepts have driven his writing orientation in both periods before and after the August Revolution of 1945 in a unified formation. Thus, the thesis offers a new effective direction of research on one author.

11. Practical applicability:

Xuan Dieu was sincere in the concepts and serious at creativity. This helped him have success but at the same time it caused him not to be able to avoid some disadvantages. Researching Xuan Dieu will help us draw some necessary lessons for the poetic composers in particular and literary and artistic creators in general.

The thesis also provides a useful bibliography for research and teaching of Xuan Dieu in colleges, universities as well as helps those who are interested in Xuan Dieu's writings

12. Future research directions:
