10. Summary of thesis results:

The thesis for the first time gathers sources of materials on the legend of Ly Phuc Man, establishes the basic motifs and values ​​of this legend and systematically and deeply studies the legend and the Gia procession festival in Yen So, Hoai Duc. From the legend of Ly Phuc Man to the Gia procession festival, the thesis contributes to proving the characteristics of folk literature as being synthetic, at the same time showing the uniqueness, distinctiveness as well as the similarities of the festival here with traditional festivals of Vietnam in general.

Our thesis therefore also contributes to preserving and developing the historical and cultural values ​​of a land, adding to the nation's folklore heritage. We also hope that the folk legend of Ly Phuc Man is preserved in the community, which is truly the core of the festival, and conversely, organizing the festival on a larger scale will be a performance environment, helping the legend of Ly Phuc Man to always be alive, rich, and eternal.

With the above contributions, the thesis also hopes to contribute a small part to preserving and promoting the traditional literature of the nation in general and folk literature in Yen So, Hoai Duc, Hanoi in particular.

11. Practical application:

By researching and developing this topic, we hope to contribute to preserving and transmitting the Ly Phuc Man folk legend and the organization of the Gia procession festival today. Through this topic, we hope that the relevant agencies, departments, and branches, especially the local government and people, have appropriate propaganda and promotion solutions, so that the Gia procession festival is not only known to the people in the village but also expanded to visitors from all over the world so that the festival can be increasingly expanded and preserved.

10. Summary of the findings of the thesis:

The thesis, which originally has gathered information of the Ly Phuc Man legend, has identified certain basic patterns and values ​​of this legend and researched systemmatically on the legend and Gia procession festival in Yen So, Hoai Duc District. From Gia procession festival to the Ly Phuc Man legend, the research has once demonstrated folklore's characteristics as original union, which reveals their unique and specific values ​​from these festivals particularly and those in Vietnam generally.

The thesis, therefore, contributes to preservation and development of each region's historical values ​​and traditional cultures, adding to the national folklore. Furthermore, hopefully, that the Ly Phuc Man legend should be preserved in communities might actually be the major part of the festival and vice versa, celebrating the festival with worthier scale can be environmental performance, which makes the Ly Phuc Man legend more likely, diverse and immortal.

For these contributions above, the research, hopefully, preserves and improves partly the traditional literature of the nation in general and the folklore in Yen So, Hoai Duc District in particular.

11. Practical applicability:

While studying and doing the research, we would like to preserve and transfer the Ly Phuc Man legend and the Gia procession festival celebration at present. Through the thesis, hopefully the local authorities and government should pass certain strict measures as raising people's awareness, suitable advertisements, etc. so that the Gia procession festival can not only be held by the local people, but also expanded by various tourists from other regions and countries with better preservation and improvement.
