10. Summary of thesis results:
From the survey of the land register system of Dan Phuong district remaining to this day, we come to the following conclusions:
1. All the land registers of Dan Phuong district remaining today were established in the 4th year of Gia Long (1805). Currently, there are 38 land registers remaining, covering 27 administrative units of Dan Phuong district in the 19th century. Of these, 14 land registers are stored at the Institute of Han Nom Studies, 24 land registers are stored at the National Archives Center I. These 24 land registers are all Giap copies. The land registers currently stored at the National Archives Center I are still quite intact.
2. The land registers have a fairly uniform format. The language used in the land registers is Han-Nom. In terms of content, the land registers have a fairly similar content structure, following the same standards as the standards issued by the central government in 1810.
3. From the information in the land register of Dan Phuong district in the early 19th century, it can be seen that Dan Phuong district in the early 19th century was a large area. The land in the district was mainly agricultural land, in addition to residential land and other types. The land here was mainly privately owned. The level of land concentration was not high and was heavily differentiated. Encroachment in Dan Phuong district in the early 19th century did not occur much and there was a big difference between communes and villages.
4. Depending on the situation, each locality will have a suitable system of officials. Having a position in the village does not guarantee that one will have land, but the officials who own land own more land than ordinary people. Every village and commune in the district has many female landowners. In the district, there are also many clans, however, according to the land register, land is mainly concentrated in the hands of the Nguyen clan.
5. When exploiting land register data, attention must be paid to the hidden land situation and errors in the land register. In addition, the land register does not provide all the information that researchers need. Therefore, in order for the land register to fully utilize its value, as well as to make one's research more accurate, it is necessary to combine the land register with other sources of information about villages such as village conventions, family genealogies, and clan genealogies.

11. Summary of the findings of the thesis:
Having examined the remaining system of land registrations of Dan Phuong District, the following conclusions are drawn.
1. All of the remaining land registers of Dan Phuong District were written in 1805, the 4th year of Gia Long. Today, there are 38 remaining land registrations of 27 administrative units in Dan Phuong District in the 19th century. Of those mentioned land registers, 14 are archived in the Institute of Sino-Nom Studies, and 24 are archived in the National Archives Center N.1. Those 24 land registrations are the Giap version. The land registers from National Archives Center N.1's archive remain relatively intact.
2. The land registers' writing form was quite consistent. The language used in these land registers was Sino-Nom language. Regarding the content, these land registers share a similar structure, following the standards established by the central government in 1810.
3. From the information in the land registers of Dan Phuong District in the early 19th century, it can be concluded that Dan Phuong District was a vast land. The district's land was mostly agricultural land, while the rest was residential and land of some other forms. Most of the land was privately owned. The degree of land concentration was not high, but severely diverged. The cultivation of other regions rather than the one where the inhabitants were living in Dan Phuong District in the early 19th century did not occur frequently, and there was a huge difference among the villages.
4. Depending on the circumstances of each village, the system of local officials was established accordingly. Having a managerial position did not ensure land ownership. Yet, the local officials who indeed had the ownership had more land than the inhabitants. There were many clans in Dan Phuong District, but according to the land registers, most of the land belongs to the Nguyen clan.
5. During the examination of land registrations, it is essential to pay attention to the concealment of land, as well as the errors in these documents. Furthermore, the land registers did not provide researchers all the necessary information. Thus, in order to promote their use value and improve the accuracy of the research, it is important that land registers should be associated with other sources of documents such as village convention and genealogy books.
