10. Summary of the thesis results:

- Poetry is a unique art of language. Poetic language is language within language, a language with aesthetic qualities. The characteristics of poetic language are primarily expressed in the phonetic, lexical-semantic, and grammatical aspects, with the phonetic aspect playing a crucial role. The six-eight verse form is a traditional poetic form, the heartbeat of the Vietnamese soul, distilled from folk songs, crystallized in The Tale of Kieu, and further renewed through the talent of modern poets, including Dong Duc Bon.

- Dong Duc Bon excelled in traditional poetic forms, and he truly flourished with the six-eight verse form. In using the six-eight verse, Dong Duc Bon returned to the roots of the nation, the gentle, profound rhythm of the people, but at the same time, he consciously broke free from the familiar gentleness and monotony of the form. His rhyme scheme adheres to the principles of sound harmony in traditional poetic rules while simultaneously expanding and breaking the harmony in the rhyming elements—tones, final sounds, and main sounds—creating a new, less constrained harmony. The rhythmic organization in Dong Duc Bon's six-eight verse is both inherited and innovative, a departure from traditional poetic rules. Rhyme and rhythm, along with tonal coordination, mutually restrain each other, forming a unique melody—a new, distinctive melody characteristic of Dong Duc Bon. In Dong Duc Bon's six-eight verse, rhythm is the result of the harmonious combination of rhyme and tonal coordination (melody).

- Dong Duc Bon's six-eight verse poetry is rich in poetic quality and possesses a high aesthetic value, thus possessing a haunting effect on the reader. Dong Duc Bon established the meaning of the six-eight verse through rhetorical devices and the construction of a unique and diverse system of poetic imagery. Through prominent rhetorical devices such as similes, repetition, and antithesis, the poet conveyed aesthetic messages to the reader, expressing various emotional nuances and reflections on life and human destiny. Dong Duc Bon's poetic imagery is simple and familiar, yet it evokes many fundamental issues of existence, human life, and human fate. Furthermore, in many cases, Dong Duc Bon's six-eight verse poetry is a language within a language, through novel phenomena in the use of words, phrases, and verses. These unusual linguistic phenomena contribute to the distinctive linguistic personality of Dong Duc Bon's six-eight verse poetry.

11. Practical applications:

In practical terms, the results of this thesis also help readers see Dong Duc Bon's contributions to the renewal of the six-eight verse form. Through Dong Duc Bon's case, we affirm that the six-eight verse form will endure and develop continuously because it still holds many novel aspects in its poetics and will be explored and enriched by generations of poets like Dong Duc Bon and subsequent generations.

12. Future research directions:

The next research direction: To continue exploring, surveying, and analyzing rhyme, rhythm, and methods of meaning creation in Vietnamese poetry at certain periods.
