10. Summary of the results of the thesis: Synthesizing the results of academic works (mainly published in the two provinces of Guangxi and Yunnan), the thesis has pointed out a number of characteristics and research trends on Vietnamese culture, literature and art in recent years. Using interdisciplinary research methods, the thesis has analyzed the number of works published in the two provinces as well as data related to research fields to point out the premises for research on Vietnam. The analysis shows that Sino-Vietnamese culture has the characteristics of "same origin, different flow" and "harmony and discordance". From that characteristic, researchers when approaching Vietnamese culture, literature and art also affirm that these fields take their internal cultural roots and develop and create through the absorption of external culture. At the same time, the study also found that Chinese scholars believe that the development of Vietnamese culture, literature and art does not only follow a linear model "from center to periphery", but also a "layered" development (development by layers), both absorbing the quintessence of surrounding culture and maintaining its own identity.

11. Practical applicability: The thesis can become a reference material for researchers interested in Vietnam and open up directions for academic exchange and cooperation between Vietnam and China. - This study also has reference value for cultural comparison works, as well as in teaching and promoting Vietnam internationally.

12. Further research directions: In the future, research directions can focus on expanding the survey to other areas of China, comparing with the views of Western scholars, or delving into specific areas such as literature, folk art...

Summary of the findings of the thesis: Through a synthesis of academic works (mainly published in Guangxi and Yunnan), this thesis identifies key characteristics and emerging trends in recent research on Vietnamese culture, literature, and art. Employing an interdisciplinary approach, it analyzes both the number of works produced in these provinces and the data related to their research fields in order to outline the scientific premises regarding Vietnam. The analysis reveals that Sino-Vietnamese culture embodies the features of “common origin, divergent flows” and “harmony in diversity.” Building on these characteristics, scholars approaching Vietnamese culture, literature, and art emphasize that these fields are rooted in intrinsic cultural foundations while developing and innovating through the assimilation of external influences. Furthermore, the study observes that Chinese scholars contend that the development of Vietnamese culture, literature, and art does not follow a simple linear model “from the center to the periphery,” but rather a “layered development” model, which simultaneously absorbs surrounding cultural essences while preserving its distinct identity.

11. Practical applicability: The thesis can serve as a significant reference for scholars with an interest in Vietnam, while also opening up potential directions for academic exchange and scholarly cooperation between Vietnam and China. - Furthermore, this study provides valuable insights for comparative cultural research and may be utilized in the teaching and promotion of Vietnamese culture on the international stage.

12. Further research directions: Subsequent research may expand its scope to other regions of China, engage in comparative analysis with Western scholarly perspectives, or pursue more specialized inquiries into particular domains such as literature, folk art, and related cultural expressions.
