10. Summary of the thesis results:

To date, although there has been some attention paid to Pham Thai, there have been no in-depth studies dedicated to this particular literary phenomenon. Therefore, the task of understanding, researching, and comprehensively evaluating Pham Thai's poetry and prose in Vietnamese literature during the late 18th and early 19th centuries is very necessary.

Firstly, we aim to provide an accurate and correct understanding of the character and personality of the Confucian scholar Pham Thai in the society of his time. Secondly, this thesis will systematize the views, assessments, and criticisms of Pham Thai's poetry and prose, and then point out his new contributions in terms of both content and artistic form. Finally, we hope to contribute to restoring the true value of Pham Thai's poetry and prose and redefining the author's rightful place in Vietnamese literature.

11. Practical applications:

- This work aims to provide new insights and make a small contribution to the teaching and learning practices of author Pham Thai in both high schools and universities.

12. Future research directions:

- This opens up avenues for research to re-evaluate the roles and power of certain dynasties, leading to a more accurate understanding of some medieval literary authors.

13. Published works related to the thesis: None
