1. Nam Phong magazine is a famous newspaper that was established from 1917 to 1934. The newspaper was established by the French Empire, aiming to serve the French colonial rule in Vietnam. The magazine was edited by Pham Quynh in the National Language and Literature sections, and Nguyen Ba Trac in the Chinese section. After a short period of operation, with the ingenuity of the leader, editor Pham Quynh shifted the magazine's content towards academics, studying Eastern and Western cultures, especially Vietnamese culture with the aim of raising the people's will and spirit. After seventeen years of continuous active activities (1917 - 1934)Nam Phong magazinehas published 210 issues, with about 35,000 pages in Quoc Ngu, French and Chinese characters. This is an extremely valuable document on literature as well as literature, referring to confronting the Western mechanical and chemical civilization that the French empire wanted to impose in order to erase the long-standing Confucianism of our ancestors. The value ofNam Phongvery big in all aspects: Social Politics, History, Culture...

The author is a person with profound knowledge, a person who lives with a heart and affection for those around him, loves his homeland, this is clearly shown in the confessions of his memoirs. He was born and raised in an era of many changes in all aspects, especially in the language with the conflict between Chinese characters and national languages, Eastern - Western culture, new - old ways of thinking... But the author has a very sharp eye in perceiving and evaluating the conflicting developments of each phenomenon and each moment in that society. His views up to this day are still very correct.
Looking back at Tung Van's career onNam Phong magazineDuring about 15 years in three fields: translation, research, and composition, he is worthy of our admiration. In each field, he has had certain individual successes.
We can reaffirm that his works have made Nguyen Don Phuc different from Nguyen Huu Tien, Nguyen Ba Hoc or any other former authors in the newspaper because they are works written from the moments of sharing, true emotions and the author's own contemplation and reflection on life, on the strong changes in society. Thanks to his extensive knowledge of Confucianism and innovative thinking, Tung Van has been present in almost all different fields, his name truly occupies an important position in this newspaper.

11. Summary of the findings of the Thesis:
1. Nam Phong Journal, a well-known journal, came into existence from 1917 to 1934. This Journal was found under the policy of French Empire in order to serve the governance policies of French Colonialists in Vietnam. Editor-in-chief of the Journal's Vietnamese alphabet and words was Mr. Pham Quynh, and Editor-in-chief of the Journal's Han script was Mr. Nguyen Ba Trac. After a short period of operation, with the skillfulness of the leader, Mr. Pham Quynh changed the contents of the journal with focus on academic issues and Eastern and Western cultures, especially Vietnamese culture with a purpose of raising the people's intellectual level and spirit. After 17-year period of continuous operation (1917 – 1934),Nam Phong Journalpublished 210 volumes with about 35,000 pages in Vietnamese alphabet, French and Han script. This was a very precious literary material used to cope with mechanical civilization and Western culture that French Colonialists wanted to impose to boycott long-standing Confucianism of ancestors.Nam Phong Journalwas of great importance in all aspects: politics, society, history, culture, etc.
2. Nguyen Don Phuc was an author who regularly collaborated withNam Phong Journal.His name appears continuously on articles. However, there are a few readers of current generation knowing him.
3. Nguyen Don Phuc is one of the former scholars. The author had profound and wide knowledge and a heart to heart with people and loved his hometown and country. This is clearly reflected in words in his works and notes. He was born and grew up in the context of changes in all aspects, especially fights of languages between Han script and Vietnamese script, Eastern and Western culture and new – old way of thinking, etc. But the author had a keen eye for recognizing and assessing the development of fights and changes of each phenomenon in every moment in that society. But so far, his views have been true.
Looking back on the career of Tung Van in Nam Phong Journal during 15 years in three areas including translation, compiling and composition, we have great respect for him. In each field, he had certain success.
We can affirm that his works made by Nguyen Don Phuc differ from Nguyen Huu Tien, Nguyen Ba Hoc or any other former scholars on newspapers because they were written from minutes of his feeling expression, true emotions, concerns, thoughts and experiments towards life and dramatic changes in society. Thanks to extensive knowledge about Confucianism, innovative perspective and thinking Tung Van was present in almost all different areas, his name really appeared in an important position in this newspaper.
