Summary of the thesis results: This thesis explores the issue of male-female relationships and romantic love through a comparative perspective between Northern and Southern Vietnamese folk songs, focusing on several key aspects of content and artistry. The difference lies not in the intensity of emotion but in the way men and women in Northern and Southern Vietnam express it. In terms of artistry, the comparison of folk songs about male-female relationships and romantic love between Northern and Southern Vietnam examines poetic form, semantics, language, imagery, symbolism, time, and artistic space, differing in proportion and level of use. From this, we explain the reasons for the similarities and differences between Northern and Southern Vietnamese folk songs in general, and folk songs about male-female relationships and romantic love between the two regions in particular. The differences inevitably stem from the cultural identity of each region, while the similarities are due to both the shared nature of folklore creation and the historical, geographical, and cultural exchange conditions of each region. This study affirms the unity within the overall body of Vietnamese folk songs and the distinct characteristics of Northern and Southern Vietnamese folk songs. It also represents a valuable treasure of our ancestors that needs to be preserved and developed. 11. Practical application: Used as research material. 12. Further research directions: None. 13.

Summary of the findings of the thesis: In our thesis, we examine a question: The couple relationship and youth love compare Northern folk-song with Southern folk-song on some aspects of content and form. We found the differences in the way of expressing love of the Southern and the Northern young couple not in the degree of passion. In respect of form, we compare the couple relationship and youth love in Northern folk-song to these in Southern folk-song on some factors: poetic kind, meaning, word, image, symbol, time and place to discover the differences in rate and degree of use. - From all above, we explain the reason of the similarities and differences between the Northern folk-song and Southern folk-song in general; between the couple relationship and youth love in particular. The region's cultural character has created inevitable differences. And due to general features in processing of creating folklore, historical and geographical conditions, cultural exchange of each region, the similarities were formed. - We confirm the unity in the whole of Vietnamese folk-song, as well as the distinction between Northern folk-song and Southern folk-song. This national precious treasure should be preserved and developed. 12. Practical applicability, if any: Using as material for research 13. Further research directions, if any: None 14.
