Envoys of the Lê–Trịnh government sent reports to the court—which were a memorial [khải] to the Trịnh lord—when they stayed in Guangxi province during both their outward and return journeys. The envoys entrusted the reports to messengers such as interpreters, secretaries, or attendants for delivery to Thăng Long during their stay in the Nanning prefectural capital on the return journey. During the Nguyễn period, on their outward journeys, envoys reported their itinerary when they stayed in the Guangxi and Hubei provincial capitals; on their return journey, before returning to Vietnam, they reported their itinerary and approximate time of return from Guangxi province. All of the envoys’ report documents in the nineteenth century were memorials to the Nguyễn Emperor. In the nineteenth century, before Vietnamese envoys sent reports to the Nguyễn court, Qing officials such as the Grand Coordinator of Guangxi and Huguang’s Supreme Commander would check their drafts.2023-12-25T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 https://science.thanglong.edu.vn/index.php/volb/article/view/205LITERATURE REVIEW OF ANCIENT MAPS OF VIETNAM FROM 1896 TO PRESENT2024-10-15T12:49:03+00:00levanathn@gmail.comThis article reviews the research on ancient maps of Vietnam by domestic and foreign scholars from 1896 to 2022.

The article analyzes Trần Thái Tông's proactive choice of Buddhism as the key to long-term peace and stability, inheriting the cultural and social heritage of the Lý dynasty, and applying Buddhist thought and wisdom to build and develop the country. In this sense, Trần Thái Tông is an important historical figure who played the role of a bridge between Buddhism of the Lý and Trần dynasties.

In this chapter, Nguyễn expounds the different roles which the teacher-figure and friends play as guides and aides to learning and moral cultivation. Although he recognizes the necessity of teachers during the initiatory stages of learning, Nguyễn champions the role of friends in bringing that learning to completion. While Nam-sơn tùng-thoại is thematically and stylistically eclectic, this chapter is not without passages that reveal a fundamentally Neo-Confucian underpinning to Nguyễn’s understanding of human nature, moral cultivation, and interpersonal relationships.2023-12-25T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 https://science.thanglong.edu.vn/index.php/volb/article/view/202RECREATING HERITAGE THROUGH A VIETNAMESE LANGUAGE TEACHING PROGRAM APPLYING ADVENTURE GAME THEORY AND VIRTUAL REALITY2024-10-15T12:20:24+00:00ttminhvs@gmail.comThis paper introduces an innovative and interesting idea for teaching Vietnamese. Although the exchange between countries has recently become much easier, many Vietnamese language learners still lack opportunities to be exposed to real-life Vietnamese language and culture. To solve this problem, distance learning - online learning - is a very timely solution that can meet some of the lacking needs for quality teachers and boring programs. However, many packaged online teaching programs are still lacking in direct interaction functionality; and the learning content is still formulaic. With the motto "learning through action", "learning by playing", learning as an exciting adventure, the research group proposes the idea of a Vietnamese language teaching program embedded in an exciting adventure game to explore Vietnamese culture and life according to the specific needs of the learners. Virtual reality technology will support the players to immerse themselves in the space and practice language and culture more naturally and vividly. Especially, the program will integrate automatic communication between learners and the information management system, but also have a space for real communication between learners and instructors when scheduled or upon request, and a space for communication for those who are learning Vietnamese together. In addition to providing language skills, cultural knowledge, and social skills, the program also aims at the ethical values of human beings. This idea can therefore make a practical contribution to innovating the teaching and learning methods of Vietnamese to speakers of other languages in particular and other languages in general.2023-12-25T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 https://science.thanglong.edu.vn/index.php/volb/article/view/203VYGOTSKY'S CULTURAL THEORIES IN EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE: IMPLICATIONS FOR INSTRUCTION IN SCHOOL SETTINGS2024-10-15T12:32:46+00:00hangHNUE@gmail.comThis article analyzes the pedagogical implications of Vygotsky's theories of cultural tools, the zone of proximal development, and scaffolding in the context of teaching in schooling settings. The implications for teaching children with experiences of refugee-related trauma are also explored. Findings suggest that Vygotsky's theories provide valuable insight into the learning processes and challenges faced by these students.2023-12-25T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 https://science.thanglong.edu.vn/index.php/volb/article/view/204VIETNAMESE TRADITIONAL PROVERBS AND FOLK SONGS ABOUT THE SPECIALTIES OF THANH REGION2024-10-15T12:40:24+00:00nguyenthique@hdu.edu.vnThe agricultural products of Thanh region are diverse and abundant: ranging from plant-based and animal-based origins in nature to processed varieties, all featuring distinctive flavors.
