He wrote or wrote a strong struggle against the invading French colonialists, and the poem “Running the enemy” is one of his typical poems.
This poem realistically recreates the social scene of Vietnam when the French colonialists invaded, it was a desolate and tragic scene before the destruction of the invading army. At the same time, this poem also clearly shows author Nguyen Dinh Chieu’s hatred and hatred towards the French army.
In 1958, the French colonialists opened fire, starting the invasion of our nation, from Da Nang they expanded to invade Gia Dinh area, before the brutal invasion of the French colonialists and our people. pushed into the wrong path of greed, suffering to the extreme.
Nguyen Dinh Chieu was originally a patriotic writer, so when he saw this situation, he couldn’t help but feel sad and pitiful. The more patriotic the country, the greater the hatred for the enemy, and in that situation, the poet wrote the poem “Running the enemy” both to recreate the chaotic times, the people were greedy and greedy. was to express his deep hatred for the invading army.
“After the market ended, I heard the gunfire
A chess board that fell from the palm of your hand”
At the beginning of the poem, poet Nguyen Dinh Chieu recreated the fierce atmosphere when the sound of Western guns made everyone panic, everything was tinged with sadness. The space that the poet recreates is the space of a market, and the time to be mentioned is the time of “market closure”, this is the time when people are busy inviting each other to leave after the session. market.
At that time, the sound of Western guns started to explode, this was the brutal destruction of the invaders, because they were aimed at the time when people were most alert, gathered the most to shoot and kill people. ta. Here, the author shows both the brutal and inhuman actions of the French army and his hatred towards them.
The two words “Western guns” have shown that, the author does not directly condemn the French colonialists but calls them with disdainful names, the Westerners, ie people who are different from us in terms of race, carry in themselves. malicious plots, lowly despicable, they use violence to suppress our people, their actions are deserving of condemnation.
In another of his works, the poet Nguyen Dinh Chieu also expressed his insatiable hatred towards the invaders: “How many ships do you carry, / Stabbing a few crooks is not evil”. The sudden explosion of Western guns caused everyone present in the scene to panic and fear “A chess board when it falls”. This verse can be understood as chess players because they were startled by the sound of gunfire and dropped the pieces onto the chessboard.
Or we can also understand that the chessboard later on is the reality of Vietnam at that time, when our nation was losing ground before the enemy, they took advantage of the unstable situation of our country to jump in. invasion, causing so much suffering. The scene when there is a Western gunfire is also chaotic and shabby, not only people but even animals panic, looking for a way to run and hide:
“Leave the house, the children run away
Lost nest of flying squirrels”
It was the scene where the children were startled and frightened by the sound of the gun, ran away from home in a panic, wanting to escape the sound of gunfire as well as the terrifying destruction “Leave the house, the children ran away”, they just showed up. are children, daily living in the fierce, destructive scene of bombs is really pitiful, they are at the most innocent age of life, the most carefree and thoughtless times, but was born in a period of turmoil and riots in the country.
Not only the children were scared, but even the animals in the wild were destroyed by the enemy, lost their place to live, panicked, and flew everywhere to find shelter. The atmosphere the poet evokes here is chaotic and tragic.
“Ben Nghe of money melts bubbles
Dong Nai tile paintings tinged with clouds”
Ben Nghe, Dong Nai are the landmarks of Gia Dinh, when their homeland is violated, even inanimate things such as water wharf and river seem to be shaken, they seem to be present. empathize with the reality of the country. The fierceness of the war scene, the bubbles in Ben Nghe also shattered, the peaceful scene at the wharf no longer existed, that brokenness as well as the indignation of heaven and earth, and nature’s ignorance before the crimes of humanity. invaders.
The Dong Nai River is also tinged with sadness and suffering, which is sympathy and harmony between nature and human hearts. Reading this verse, I suddenly remembered a verse of poet Nguyen Du in Tales of Kieu “The sad people are never happy”, yes, these inanimate objects can be destroyed by violent reality or it is felt in the angry, painful mood of the poet.
“Ask me where this riot page is
Let’s not let black people suffer this”
Heartbroken at the fact that the country was ravaged by war, people’s hearts hurt because of the brutality. Nguyen Dinh Chieu showed concern and concern as well as a secret reproach towards the impotent and useless court. Nguyen house. In history, every time the country had a war, there were talented people, talented generals, and great revolting sites.
But at this time, the page to quell the rebellion has not yet appeared, the poet seems to ask himself, the question has no answer. At the same time, the poet also directed his reproach and criticism to the Nguyen court, when only knowing his own interests, he was weak and humble before the brutal army, so that they caused so much suffering to the black people. so.
The poem “Running the enemy” by Nguyen Dinh Chieu is a poem that realistically and vividly recreates a tumultuous and painful period of the country and the nation. At the same time, it also shows a deep patriotism and hatred for the enemy of the poet himself. Those are the real feelings, the real feelings of the author when the country is in turmoil.

Analysis of the work “Running the enemy” No. 9

He fully understood the suffering of the poor people, the suffering of the people who lost their country.

The work has become a historical witness, associated with the joys and sorrows of the nation. The poem has a profound meaning that moves the reader.
At the end of the market, I heard the sound of Western guns
A chess board that fell after a minute
Leaving the house, the children ran away
Lost nest of flying squirrels
Ben Nghe of money melts bubbles
Dong Nai tile painting dyed with clouds
Where is this riot page?
Don’t let black people suffer this!
In 1859, the French colonialists attacked Gia Dinh citadel. Before the invasion, Nguyen Dinh Chieu wrote the poem “Running the enemy”, a poem that honestly expressed the suffering of the people when being trampled by the colonialists. heartache when the nation fell into misery, children had to live in fear and misery.
Two lines of the poem’s title spoke about the tragic situation of our country at that time, the war broke out, the battle took place like “a chess board” with just “a moment of failure”, but Gia Dinh citadel fell into disrepair. Dong Nai and Ben Nghe fell into enemy hands. With only two verses, everything appeared as a page of history.
“After the market was closed, I heard the sound of Western guns
A game of chess in a minute’s hands”
Just listening to “Western gunfire” can give readers an image of a brutal war scene. The French colonialists brought many times more modern weapons than ours, they invaded our country, forcing our people into the dead end.

In two verses, the author has used the image of “A chess board” a profound metaphor, full of conventions, and concise, making the reader immediately understand that it is the situation, the situation of the battlefield, and the situation of the battlefield. That chess is studying French colonialism.
“Leave the house, the children run away
Lost nest of flying squirrels”
It is difficult to have a more special image when the author has used images of children and birds to describe the scene of running. The poet takes the baby and loving image of “the children” as a symbol for the human world, and the beautiful and free image of “the birds” as the symbol of the natural world. Two very typical images for the homeland. But now “leaving home”, “running away”, “losing a nest”, “flying around” describes the destruction, panic, and terror.
The evocative words have left extremely deep impressions, when the country is lost, the house is dissolved, the children who should have lived in peace but now also have to follow the country’s fate, being trampled by the colonialists. , the peaceful homeland now becomes chaotic when the shadow invades. The author’s artistic feature in these two verses is the inversion of placing the predicate in front of the subject to emphasize the words “leaving home” and “losing nest” creating a tragic obsession about the scene of the good people fleeing from the enemy. .
The two sentences 5,6, XNUMX, and each other show a scene of mourning and grief in Ben Nghe and Dong Nai. Those two places were formerly busy places, on the wharf under the busy trading boats, Dong Nai was the granary of the South. However, in the “falling moment” was destroyed by the French invaders, plundered to the point of destruction. People’s property was robbed, and became “dissolved”. Houses and villages were burned and destroyed, fire and smoke covered a large area “tinted with clouds”.
“Ben Nghe of money has melted away,
Dong Nai tile paintings tinged with clouds.”
The author used the method of comparing and embedding in the unique images “of money dissolving bubbles”, “tile paintings tinged with clouds”, the images are carefully selected to reveal the heinous crimes of the enemy. In addition, it is also the author’s heart, pain and hatred for country robbers. The two concluding sentences of the poem are written as a rhetorical question:
“Ask me where is the thick riot page
Let’s let black people suffer from this?”
This was the choking emotion that welled up, expressing a painful state of mind. A very good question to be answered. Then what will be the fate of the country, the life and property of our people. A question showing compassion for the people suffering before the invasion, really why let the black people suffer this much, it’s too sad.
The poet both reproached the weak imperial army, lost the battle to let the enemy occupy the homeland, and expected the talented hero to fight the enemy to save the country and save the people from misery. The ending sentence contains so much love of Nguyen Dinh Chieu for the people who are writhing in the enemy’s bombs and bullets.
The poem appears as a painful national history page, the French colonialists invaded, the national border is difficult to keep. Realistic, tragic scenes appear and integrated in it is the author’s love for the nation, for the country. The humane pen both loves and hates, hates the bandits, hates the people who spread misery, here the people are in misery.
The artistic features of the poem are reflected in the simple, rustic language with rich Southern colors (children, young people, young people, young people, young people. ). Antonyms, inversions, and comparative metaphors are artistic measures that are creatively applied by the author to write concise and expressive poems. Running away from the enemy is a poem of great historical value. It records the painful events of our country at the end of the XNUMXth century. It is a patriotic hate song.
Through the poem “Running against the enemy”, we have left many thoughts in our hearts, a painful and truly sad period in the country’s history, clearly portrayed by the humanitarian writer Nguyen Dinh Chieu.

Analysis of the work “Running the enemy” No. 1
There are literary works that are immortal when it becomes a historical witness, it is associated with the joys and sorrows of a nation. The poem “Running the enemy” is such a meaningful poem.
In 1859, the French colonialists attacked Gia Dinh citadel. Before the invasion, Nguyen Dinh Chieu wrote the poem “Running the enemy”. The poem was written in the form of the eight syllables, reflecting the pain of the nation, hatefully condemning the atrocities of the French invaders, and expressing their hatred towards the invaders. show mercy to the people:
“After the market was over, I heard the Western guns,
…Should we let black people suffer this?”
These two sentences describe a tragic situation of our country at that time. The French enemy opened fire to capture Gia Dinh citadel. The battle took place like a “chess board” that changed suddenly, “the moment it fell.” Gia Dinh citadel fell, Dong Nai and Ben Nghe fell to the enemy.The verse sounded like a lament:
“After the market was over, I heard the Western guns,
A chess board that fell out of hand.”
The words: “just heard the gunfire”, “mins fell” highlight the time, the incident happened suddenly and quickly and speak to the horror of the poet and the people when Gia Dinh citadel was destroyed. The Western invaders opened fire to take over. “A chess board” is a metaphor, a conventional way of saying, a connotation of a battlefield situation, a war situation at that time (1859).
Two real sentences 3,4, XNUMX describe the scene of running riot, running from the enemy in the terror of the people. Words: “leave home”. “run away” “lost nest” “happy to fly” describes the destruction, panic, fear. The poet takes the human world as “children” and takes the natural world as “a flock of birds”. Those two images represent the people’s pain before the disaster of the country and homeland being invaded:
“Leave the house, the children run away,
Losing a flock of flying magpie birds”
The inversion of placing the predicate before the subject to emphasize the words “leaving home” and “losing the nest” creates a tragic obsession with the scene of the good people fleeing the war. The scene of mourning and destruction in Ben Nghe and Dong Nai Nearly 5,6 years ago, Ben Nghe was a bustling, urban scene, on the wharf under busy trading boats, Dong Nai was the granary of the South. In a moment, he was shot and killed by the French, burned, plundered, and plundered.
The property of our people was looted by them and “dissolved the water”. The houses, streets and villages of our compatriots were burned and destroyed by the invaders. Fire and smoke rose to the sky, covering a large area “tinted with clouds”. The poet describes less but evokes much. Using only two very selective and interchangeable images: “the money melts the water”, “the tile painting is tinged with clouds” hatefully condemns the atrocities of the invaders. full of rhymes:
“Ben Nghe of money has melted away,
Dong Nai tile paintings tinged with clouds.”
The enemy’s crimes are unspeakable! The poet seems to be lamenting the heinous crimes of the French invaders:
“Generally, let it close the Ben Nghe River,
make the four sides dark clouds ;
My forefathers were still in Dong Nai,
Who saves a red ward?
(The philanthropist needs Giuoc)
After defeating Gia Dinh citadel, the French invaders occupied 3 provinces in the Southeast region of Cochinchina. A large area of our country was engulfed in blood and fire, and Phan Van Tri, a close friend of Nguyen Dinh Chieu, wrote angrily when he heard the sound of the enemy trumpet:
“The trumpet blows the third year,
It is painful to hear in the ears.
The capital of the Dragon River is full of smoke,
Empty the city of Phung mourning flowers…”
(Feeling)
In the last two sentences, choked emotions suddenly surfaced, expressing a painful, anxious mood. Worried about the lives and property of our people being shot and killed by the French invaders. Worrying about the dark fate of the country. Rhetorical question expressing compassion for the people suffering before the invasion:
“Ask the page to clear up the chaos,
Let’s let black people suffer from this?”
“Running against the enemy” is a patriotic song that deeply expresses hatred for the French enemy and compassion for the people before the invasion.

Analysis of the work “Running the enemy” No. 5
Nguyen Dinh Chieu is a great poet of Vietnam. He is the typical face of Nam Bo people in the patriotic poetry movement against the invaders. His works are often extremely combative. Criticize and condemn the brutality of the invaders. The poem “Running the enemy” is a typical work of his poetic style.
The poem seems to have recreated the Vietnamese social scene during the French colonial period, with its desolation and tragedy. Today, let’s analyze and discuss the poem “Running the enemy” by Nguyen Dinh Chieu.
The French colonialists colonized our country in 1958. They showed their expansion, causing our people to fall into extreme misery. In the face of these painful and mournful scenes. Nguyen Dinh Chieu could not help but feel sad and heartbroken.
Patriotism rose, hatred of the invaders increased. And in that situation, he composed the poem “Running the enemy” as a demonstration of the miserable period of our nation in the context of chaos. The poem also expresses the utmost hatred towards the brutal invaders. The opening of the poem is a reenactment of the fierce gunfire of the enemy.”
“After the market ended, I heard the gunfire
A chess board that fell from the palm of your hand”
At the beginning of the poem, poet Nguyen Dinh Chieu recreated the fierce atmosphere when the Western guns sounded. Making everyone panic, everything is tinged with sadness. The space that the poet recreates is the space of a market. And the time to be mentioned is the time of “market closing”.
This is the time when people are busy inviting each other to leave after the market. At that time, the sound of Western guns began to explode, this was the brutal destruction of the invaders. Because they are aimed at the time when people are most off guard, most crowded to shoot and kill our people. Here the author has just shown the brutal and inhuman actions of the French army. He just showed his hatred towards them.
The two words “Western gun” are like a curt. A contempt for the bandits, a condemnation of those who only want to use force with guns. And in that sudden gunfire made many people panic and panic. “A chess board when it falls” means when playing a game of chess. Suddenly, due to the gunfire, it startled and caused the pieces to fall to the chessboard. The enemy’s crime is truly terrifying, an act worthy of condemnation.
The two words “Western guns” have shown that, the author does not directly condemn the French colonialists but calls them with disdainful names. The Westerners, who are racially different from us, carry within themselves a malicious, lowly, despicable conspiracy, they use violence to oppress our people, their actions are deserving of condemnation. In another of his works, the poet Nguyen Dinh Chieu also expressed his unrelenting hatred towards the invaders.
“How many ships do not carry / Stabbing some crooks is not evil”. The sudden explosion of Western guns caused everyone present in the scene to panic and fear “A chess board when it falls”. This verse can be understood as chess players because they were startled by the sound of gunfire and dropped the pieces onto the chessboard.
Or we can also understand that this chessboard at the time of falling was the reality of Vietnam at that time, when our nation was losing ground to the enemy. They took advantage of the unstable situation of our country to invade, causing so much suffering. The scene when there is Western gunfire is also chaotic and shabby. Not only humans but even animals panic, find a way to flee, hide:
“Leave the house, the children run away
Lost nest of flying squirrels”
It was the scene where the children were startled and frightened by the sound of gunfire and ran away from home. Wanting to escape the sound of gunfire as well as the terrifying destruction “Leave the house, the children run away”, they are just children. Living in the fierce, destructive scene of bombs and bullets every day is really pitiful. They are at the most innocent age of life, the most carefree and thoughtless times, but were born in a period of turmoil and riots in the country.
Not only the children were scared, but even the animals in the wild were destroyed by the enemy and lost their habitat. In panic, he flew around looking for shelter. The atmosphere the poet evokes here is chaotic and tragic.
“Ben Nghe of money melts bubbles
Dong Nai tile paintings tinged with clouds”
A landmark of Gia Dinh was Ben Nghe, when violated. Inanimate things like the wharf, the river have also been shaken. The sympathy of those inherently inanimate things with the reality of the country at war. The water bubble broke in Ben Nghe, the peaceful scene was gone. That brokenness is like the indignation of heaven and earth, and nature is ignorant of the crimes of the enemy.
Dong Nai river is also tinged with sadness and suffering. It is the sympathy and harmony between nature and human heart. The painful scene of people also makes inanimate scenes also have emotions. It is an outrage at the destruction of the enemy.
“Ask me where this riot page is
Let’s not let black people suffer this”
As a question before the painful truth. The country is being ravaged, the people are suffering. A question as a reproach to the useless Nguyen court. A really weak court, only knowing its own interests and forgetting about the people living in distress. Let the army of the spring comb suppress and impose “this problem”. A longing wait, there is a talented person, a talented general will stand up against the enemy. But at this time, no one appeared because of that corrupt court.
Through “Running the enemy” by Nguyen Dinh Chieu, we can see that this is really a masterpiece of his poetry during the period of turmoil of the country under the invasion of the colonial army. The poem has shown love for the country, and thereby also shows hatred for the invaders. The poem is an expression of real feelings, real feelings of Nguyen Dinh Chieu himself.

Analysis of the work “Running the enemy” No. 7
In 1858, the French colonialists fired the first shot to invade Da Nang citadel. Then a year later, they attacked again from Da Nang to occupy Gia Dinh. Before the scene of the destruction of the homeland, the loss of the country, the people panicked and bewildered at the hands of the enemy, although blind and could not see anything, but with a heart full of sadness and infinite sorrow, poet Nguyen Dinh Chieu Write a poem Run Giac to record your mood.
The beginning of the poem is a scene of a sudden beating by the West:
“After the market ended, I heard the sound of Western guns
A chess board that fell from the palm of your hand”
The two verses show that the enemy’s attack was very quick and also very unexpected. Their sudden gunfire pushed the peaceful, crowded and bustling life of our people to suddenly disappear deep into the past and open up before our eyes the scene of a horrifying and painful escape:
“Leave the house, the children run away
Lost nest of flying birds.”
The two real sentences of the poem are a vivid concrete picture showing the tragic and broken feelings of the people at that time. The appearance of the enemy was so sudden, the resistance of our troops failed so quickly, making the scene of leading the burden and running around all the more painful.
Living happily and peacefully with loved ones, suddenly the enemy came from nowhere to capture and kill, all families were not prepared, just panicked and ran away. The poet describes this scene in two words, images of children running and birds flying. In this case, the incoherent inversion brings out the ragged, scattered appearance of the children and the birds, but also portrays their bewilderment and bewilderment.
Continuity of the poem, the poet should have discussed the next two lines of the poem, but no, with all his pain and sorrow, he continued to paint a picture of the whole homeland being attacked by the enemy. wreak havoc in a truly vast space:
“Ben Nghe of money melts bubbles
Dong Nai tile paintings tinged with clouds”.
Although Ben Nghe, Dong Nai is just a wharf, a river in Gia Dinh, but it is also the panorama of our homeland when the French invaders arrived. A whole piece of brocade mountains that was peaceful and lush in an instant was destroyed by the enemy’s mind and turned to ashes. People’s money and property were plundered by them. The village’s house was burned down, the fire and smoke rose up into the sky. Grief and pain really moved the moon and stars.
Those two verses are a concrete and vivid picture full of evocative images of the homeland being trampled and destroyed everywhere: scattered, broken, smoke filled the sky. In addition, it is also a strong indirect condemnation of the violent looting of the invading French colonialists.
Thus, all four real verses and essays have created a panorama, highlighting the tragic image of the country and homeland under the heel of the invading French invaders. A whole sky of panic, scatter, grief from the ground to the sky, from people to animals. The enemy troops plundered money, burned houses and villages throughout an area of Dong Nai and Ben Nghe. The mood and attitude of the old man not only permeated and permeated each of the above painful verses, but also showed quite clearly in the two closing sentences:
“Ask the page to clean up the chaos
Let the black people suffer this.
The two verses above make a cry of pain and sorrow, coming from the passionate heart that loves the homeland and the country, red with the fire of hatred at the enemy’s unforgivable crimes. The poet not only mourned the loss of the country, the scattered people, pain, confusion, and confusion, but he was also disappointed and displeased with the situation in which his homeland was filled with enemies and the army of the imperial court. then disappeared in the form of leaving the people to suffer and suffer.
The two closing verses also contain a longing for the figure of a brilliant and talented rebellious page who will quickly save the country and protect life. The cry of pain uttered from the bleeding heart of the patriotic poet Nguyen Dinh Chieu was then responded by many other patriotic scholars across the three regions, but the uprisings aimed at regaining independence for the country. because the nation was drowned by the French colonialists in the sea of blood.
It had to wait until the revolutionary Nguyen Ai Quoc left to find a way to save the country for many years before returning to lead the Communist Party of Vietnam through two long and arduous resistance wars, then the anxious expectation, the desire great new poet’s response completely.

Analysis of the work “Running the enemy” No. 2
Nguyen Dinh Chieu was the great poet of our country in the 19th century. His eyes were blinded in his youth, his path, his career, his name was unfinished, but he refused to cross his arms in the face of bitter misfortunes. He opened a school to teach, worked as a physician to take care of the people’s health, wrote poems and poems, became famous, and became a bright star in Vietnamese art at the end of the 19th century.
Nguyen Dinh Chieu’s name is associated with classic poetic stories such as the story “Luc Van Tien”, the story “Ngu Tieu medical examination and answer” … The pinnacle of thought and art of Nguyen Dinh Chieu is: sacrificial poems, patriotic poems such as “Running the enemy”, “Xuoc Canh”, “Van Te Truong Cong Dinh”, “Vatican philanthropist Can Giuoc”, etc..
Assessing the value of Nguyen Dinh Chieu’s works during the years when the French colonialists invaded the South, there was an opinion that affirmed: “His compositions come to life and towards us like patriotic songs…”. If the stories and poems “Luc Van Tien”, “Ngu Tieu medical examination and answer”, etc. shine with noble and beautiful thoughts of humanity, then the sacrifices and poems such as “Running the enemy” have “revived and towards us like patriotic songs…
Nguyen Dinh Chieu’s poetry and literature “praising the heroes who were loyal to the country all their lives, and lamented the martyrs who had fulfilled their meaning to the people. The pen, that is, the loyal soul of Nguyen Dinh Chieu has described, vividly and heartily, the nation’s feelings for the soldier of the insurgent army who was a farmer, in the past, only used to plow hoes and hoes. , suddenly became a hero to save the country.” (Pham Van Dong). When the Fatherland was invaded by “the enemy’s guns”, the barefoot “people in the hamlets of unicorns” rose up to fight the enemy with boiling hatred:
“When I saw bubbles covered in white, I wanted to come and eat liver,
The day I watched the chimney run black, I wanted to come out and bite my neck.”
They fought the enemy to protect “an inch of land and vegetables”, to keep “a bowl of rice and clothes in life.” Therefore, only a milling blade, a stick of volley also rushed into battle. Extremely brave fighting posture:
“Fire apricots with straw, the bow also burned the other religious house,
The sword worn with the blade of a milling cutter also cut off the heads of the two officials.”
(Can Giuoc philanthropist)
His homeland was trampled by the French invaders, but despite being blind, he still used his pen and heart to participate in fighting the enemy. He called his loyalty “religious”, faithful, ironic, shining:
“Life would rather hide its eyes,
Piety please round a mirror”
It can be said that Nguyen Dinh Chieu’s sentences and poems are filled with patriotic spirit, which has “revived and directed us like patriotic songs… Therefore, his dream is still the same. the dream of millions of Vietnamese people in the past century:
“As long as the divine grace penetrates,
A torrential downpour washes mountains and rivers.
(Emotional scene)

Analysis of the work “Running the enemy” No. 6
Nguyen Dinh Chieu came from a family of Confucianists. When the French colonialists invaded the homeland, at that time he was blind, but the pain of a patriotic citizen witnessing the loss of his home, so he imagined that tragic scene. He painted a picture full of blood and tears at a dark time for the nation.
The poem “Running against the enemy” is a realistic picture of the days when the country fell into invasion and this is also a heart of Nguyen Dinh Chieu for the country. The lyrical character has expressed the pain of the people in the water scene. Losing home melts with different levels. The first two verses are the poet’s description of the realistic picture of the Western scene.
After the market ended, I heard the gunfire
A chess board that fell from the palm of his hand.
Two verses described the tragic situation of the people of the South at that time. The two verses show that the time of that twisted situation was very quick, just a moment when the henchmen scoured the market as they walked through the market. It was the time to close the market, this was a rather lonely time.
The space now seems to be sinking into a quiet silence, everyone is still taking a nap, but the sudden gunfire makes that peaceful scene suddenly disappear into the past and a scene of running away from the enemy. horrible and very sad. That is the pain and horror of the people of Gia Dinh and also the author’s own when that painful scene took place.
The scene of the battle that began “a chess board” is a metaphor for the war and the tension between the imperial army and the enemy. The three hours of “falling hands” show that the fall of the imperial army at Gia Dinh citadel happened too quickly. Behind the two verses is the poet’s anxiety and terror before the disaster about his homeland being occupied and trampled by the French invaders. The next two sentences are scenes of people fleeing in terror before the tragedy:
Leaving the house, the children ran away
Losing the nest of the flying magpie
If you write “Children run away from home and run away” and “Flock of birds lose their nests and fly away”, the meaning of the verse and expressive value will be lost! The pair of lewd words “sluggish” and “sloppy” evoke panic and terror to the extreme. Scenes of children lost in flocks and birds breaking their nests are two typical selected poems in folklore describing the tragic scene of running away from the enemy.
The two real sentences of the poem are a vivid concrete picture that represents the tragic situation of the people at that time. The appearance of the enemy was so sudden, the resistance of our troops failed so quickly, making the scene of the men and women struggling to run and run all the more painful. Living happily and peacefully with loved ones, suddenly the enemy came from nowhere to capture and kill, all families were not prepared, just panicked and ran away.
The poet describes this scene in two words, images of children running and birds flying. In this case, the incoherent inversion, in this case, brings out the ragged, scattered appearance of the children and the birds, but also portrays their bewilderment and bewilderment. The next two sentences are the tragic scene of a land occupied by the enemy.
Ben Nghe of money melts bubbles
Dong Nai tile painting dyed clouds.
A land that was considered to be rich and quite busy, suddenly fell into a broken house, a sad scene. Ben Nghe and Dong Nai were originally a busy granary on the wharf under the boat, but within a moment, the French colonialists destroyed their money, the property of our people was looted and “dissolved” by the enemy. The houses in the village of the poet’s hometown were burned, the fire and smoke were “tinted with clouds”.
The two images comparing “dissolving bubbles” and “staining clouds” are specific folk ways of describing the devastation caused by the French invaders. The last two lines of the poem express the pain of worrying about the fate of our nation before the loss of our country.
Ask where this riot page is
Let the black people get into this disorder
“The page to quell the rebellion” is also the heroic page. “Where is this absent”: today, where do you go today without appearing?

Analysis of the work “Running the enemy” No. 8
“After the market was over, I heard the Western guns,
A chess board that fell after a minute
Leaving the house, the children ran away
Lost nests of flying magpie birds.
Ben Nghe of money melts bubbles,
Dong Nai tile paintings tinged with clouds.
Ask where the chaos page is gone,
Let’s let black people suffer from this?”
Don’t talk about the scene of people running away from the enemy, but first of all, pay attention to the sound of Western guns at the end of the market. That is, before the gun was fired, the market was still meeting normally. Life is completely peaceful. At the end of the market, the family reunion begins.
The younger siblings wait for their brothers and sisters, the children wait for their parents, the great-grandchildren wait for their grandparents. A scene of simple happiness and warmth will take place in every home with simple gifts from the rural market: potatoes, corn cakes, several varieties of sugar cane, handfuls of roasted popsicles mixed with honey… the whole family will gather. around the frugal tray of rice, there are bowls of sour soup, and a piece of braised fish; Or more simply, only shrimp beard cooked with gourd intestines… The sound of a Western gun exploded at that moment, suddenly, suddenly, extremely violently.
Western guns at that time were very explosive, enemy guns roared. Hearing the gunfire, the enemy was right next to him. As soon as I heard that, the whole chess board broke down. Failure came quickly. The short time adds to the sudden, unexpected, tense nature of the situation. And so, instead of the scene of a warm reunion, a scene of chaos, chaos, and disbandment:
Leaving home, the children ran away,
Losing a flock of flying squirrels
Two sentences talk about the times and the world. The French enemy attacked Gia Dinh citadel at the end of the market:
At the end of the market, I heard the sound of Western guns,
A chess board that fell from the palm of his hand.
The scene of the market meeting and the ending of the market is the peaceful rhythm of our people’s life. The sudden explosion of Western guns in the sky made that rhythm of life turned upside down. The war scene has begun. A chess board is a metaphorical image about the times, about the fierce and fierce war.
The three hours lost in the verse “A chessboard in a minute’s hand” speaks of the rapid fall of the imperial army at Gia Dinh citadel. The first two verses are like an announcement about a tragic historical event that took place in 1859. Behind the verse is the poet’s anxiety and horror before the disaster that his beloved homeland was occupied by the French invaders. closed and trampled.
The two sentences in the real part are opposite, the inversion is cleverly applied: The predicate of leaving home and losing a place is placed at the beginning of the verse to emphasize the mourning pain of our people when the French invaders:
Leaving home, the children ran away,
Lost nest of flying birds.
If you write Children who run away from home and run away and Birds lose their nest, the meaning of the verse and expressive value will be lost! The pair of words sloppy and incoherent evokes panic and terror to the extreme. Scenes of lost children and birds breaking their nests are two typical selected poems in folklore describing the extremely tragic scene of running away from the enemy.
Two essays, poetic ideas are developed and expanded. The author condemned the crimes of the French invaders sweeping, burning houses, killing people, robbing, and ravaging the homeland. Opposites and inversions are used creatively. The poet did not write: Ben Nghe money melts bubbles and Dong Nai tile paintings are tinged with clouds, but writes:
Ben Nghe of money melts bubbles,
Dong Nai tile paintings tinged with clouds.
The verse painted a vast and rich geographical area (Ben Nghe, Dong Nai) instantly turned into ashes. Ben Nghe, Dong Nai in the XNUMXth century was originally a granary and a busy trading place on the wharf under the boat, but in an instant it was destroyed by the French invaders.
Our people’s money and property were looted by the invaders. The houses in the village of the poet’s hometown were burned, the fire and smoke were tinged with clouds. The two images comparing the melting of water bubbles and the color of clouds are specific folk sayings describing the devastation caused by the French invaders.
It can be said that the two pairs of sentences in the real part and the essay part are the hateful voices of the poet condemning the crimes of the French invaders. Readers deeply feel the poem “Running the enemy” has revived and directed us as a patriotic song. Later Vietnamese poets learned and inherited Nguyen Dinh Chieu to write poems angry at the invaders:
Suddenly, the end of the season of contemplation of the enemy’s army came,
The pagoda’s alley is burning red with areca trunks.
(Double Mountain – Vu Cao)
The enemy returned to the enemy to take pain and blood,
Pain in the riverbed, pain in the trees.
(Motherland – To Huu)
Over the past century, many people’s blood and bones have been shed because of the invaders’ bombs. Therefore, hate speech is the dominant emotion of patriotic poems. Returning to the last two sentences in the song Run the enemy, we are moved by the poet’s question:
Ask where the chaos page is gone,
Should black people suffer this?
The rebellious page is also the heroic page. Where are you absent today: where did you go today without appearing? The poet both reproached the weak imperial army, lost the battle to let the enemy occupy the homeland, and expected the talented hero to fight the enemy to save the country and save the people from misery. The ending sentence contains so much love of Nguyen Dinh Chieu for the people who are writhing in the enemy’s bombs and bullets! Running from the enemy is the opening patriotic song for our nation’s patriotic poetry since the late XNUMXth century.
The poem “Running from the enemy” was written in a simple, rustic language with rich Southern colors (children, young people, young people, young people. Antonyms, inversions, and comparative metaphors are artistic measures that are creatively applied by the author to write concise and expressive poems.
Running away from the enemy is a poem of great historical value. It records the painful events of our country at the end of the XNUMXth century. It is a song of patriotism and hatred of the enemy that comes to life and directs our aspirations for independence and freedom.

Analysis of the work “Running the enemy” No. 3
Poets and writers are considered as soldiers on the cultural and artistic front, indeed, poet Nguyen Dinh Chieu is also one of such authors. He used his sharp pen to point his hatred gun at the invaders, the poem “Running the enemy” is one of the poems depicting the scene when the homeland was invaded by the French colonialists, which is also the Nguyen Dinh Chieu’s accusations about their crimes.
The poem was written after the French colonialists attacked Gia Dinh citadel – the poet’s hometown (February 17, 2). Seeing that scene, he couldn’t help but feel sad. As a lover of the homeland and nation, who does not feel pain when the land of flesh and blood is invaded, and the people are brutally oppressed. The first two lines of the poem opened up the painful reality of the country:
“When the market was over, I heard the sound of Western guns,
A chess board that fell out of hand”.
The time of the beginning of the French colonial attack on Gia Dinh was the time of “dissolution of the market”. Everyone in the market had just walked out of the market when the gunfire started. There must have been an enemy sweep. The sound of gunfire sounded like it was tearing apart the peaceful life here, instead of the fear of being violated by the country’s sovereignty.
“Western gunfire” is the gunfire of the French colonialists. The metaphor of the minute chessboard “falling hands” implies that the court let Gia Dinh citadel fall into the hands of the enemy. In other words, the colonial army invaded Gia Dinh land. The scene of the people fleeing the war is described in detail and how painful it is:
“Leave the house, the children run away
Lost nest of flying birds.”
The inversions of “leaving home” and “squandering” are rich in expressive nuances that make the verse tinged with sadness. The sound of gunfire sounded like a foreshadowing of something bad was about to happen. Nguyen Dinh Chieu has used many highly suggestive words and inversions to make the reader imagine the death and desolation described by the author. The children ran aimlessly because there was no one to lead.
They run aimlessly to avoid the oncoming danger. Not only people panic, animals like birds also fly in a panic, without direction because they have lost their nests and habitats. The words “sluggish” and “chaotic” have described a scattered scene, everything turned upside down because of gunfire.
“Children” are innocent, innocent, innocent children. They should have enjoyed a peaceful and prosperous life, but the colonial invasion caused the children’s childhood to live in fear. Appearing before the reader’s eyes is a scene of death and destruction:
“Ben Nghe of money has melted away,
Dong Nai tile paintings tinged with clouds”.
The South is engulfed in smoke and fire. Gia Dinh citadel and the Southeast region were engulfed in flames. Wherever they went, the enemy troops carried out sweeping, looting, and killing good people there. Their actions are extremely cruel, causing a lot of damage to our people. Ben Nghe or Dong Nai both fall into the state of money, assets melt as quickly as bubbles.
The crimes of the French colonialists were expressed through two great generalizing verses. But the mourning and pain our people have to endure are many times more than that. Even inanimate things like canals and rivers are full of hatred. Houses were destroyed, engulfed in flames. Having to witness the scene of the roofs being burned, their money suddenly dissipated, how many people don’t feel sorry? Before such a cruel scene, Nguyen Dinh Chieu raised a sarcastic question:
“Ask the page to clean up the chaos,
Don’t let black people suffer this.”
The rhetorical question has described the scene of scattering and panic when people ran away from the enemy. This was not only his own question, but also the question of the people in general to the feudal court at that time. The people were miserable and miserable, and desperately needed a way to escape, to fight against oppression, but the “page to quell the rebellion” was absent. Where did the kings and mandarins, the Nguyen court go, and not appear and help the people who are suffering?
The last two verses not only express the author’s pity for the loss of his home, but also his deep hatred of the enemy and his disappointment when the court does not take care of the people’s lives but also needs them. weak, shook hands with the French colonialists.
The cowardice of the court, of those responsible for protecting the country and taking care of the people’s lives is ironic and scornful. The incompetence of the Nguyen Dynasty made our people fall into a state of turmoil, with no way out. That rhetorical question also aims to awaken patriotic children to stand up against domination and bring a prosperous life to “black people”.
The poem is written in the form of a seven-word verse, which has the structure of topic – fact – essay – close connection. As a son of Gia Dinh land, the language in Nguyen Dinh Chieu’s poetry has bold Southern colors. The realistic – lyrical style is applied very thoroughly and effectively by the author. Hidden behind the picture “Running the enemy” is a deep patriotic love for the people.
Nguyen Dinh Chieu not only honestly described the scene of the country being trampled and trampled by the colonial forces, but also expressed a profound humanitarian thought. Although he was blind, he could not directly go to battle, but his combat pen was extremely sharp. The poem “Running the enemy” is a typical poem of patriotic literature against the French in the second half of the nineteenth century, a strong and eloquent denunciation of the crimes of the French colonialists.
