An essay analyzing humanitarian values in “The Tale of Kieu” by Nguyen Du No. 6
“The Tale of Kieu” by Nguyen Du is no longer a strange work to each of us. The work was written by Nguyen Du in Nom script with 3254 hexagonal verses based on the plot “Kim Van Kieu story” by Thanh Tam Tai Nhan. – Famous author of Chinese literature “Truyen Kieu” not only has the meaning of denouncing the unjust and brutal social reality, but also stands out for its profound humanitarian value expressed through the character Thuy. Kieu.This is the main character of “Truyen Kieu” and also the character that leaves many impressions in the hearts of readers.
Humane values are sincere feelings that come from the artist’s heart for his character in particular and feelings for people in general. Those are the sympathy and sympathy for the unfortunate fates. Besides, the author also shows respect and praise for the beauty of the soul, belief in social justice and aspiration for the well-being. freedom in human love. All these things are expressed by Nguyen Du through the character Thuy Kieu – a face of fate that leaves a lot of pity in readers.
Nguyen Du praised her beauty with impressive conventional verses:
“Autumn and water spring paint”
United jealous loser poor petal blue willow hon
One or two tilt the water to
Had demanded a sharp, two graphics resource officers”.
Eyes are the windows of the soul, as a person with a delicate vision, Nguyen Du cannot ignore that detail. Thuy Kieu’s eyes bring the pure beauty of autumn water, her elegant eyebrows like Spring mountains. That physical beauty makes nature like flowers and willows also arouse envy.
Did that detail predict that Thuy Kieu’s future life would not be peaceful in the “hanging out of the curtain” but would face many difficulties and storms? The verbs “jealous” and “hatred” have revealed nature’s jealousy towards the beauty of Thuy Kieu’s “ten-and-a-half”. The beauty of “tilting the water to become” is incomparable in the human world, there is only Kieu, and in terms of talent, she is lucky to have a second person. Kieu is a perfect person in both beauty and intelligence:
“Intelligence is inherently divine
Mixing up the art of painting is full of the smell of chanting
The bow of love is the five syllables
The private profession eats away the lake and takes a Zhang”.
She is endowed with intelligence and talent, so she is knowledgeable and talented in all four areas: playing, playing, exams, and painting, but she is the best at the piano. Kieu memorizes five notes: bow, spear, slope, muse, and dance in the scale of ancient music. Her talent goes far beyond, “eating off” everyone. Not only that, she also composed “Thien Bac Destiny” with the sound of suffering and sorrow. Thuy Kieu’s beauty becomes more comprehensive by being filial to her parents and loyal to her lover:
“Destiny to meet, Duc islet”
Which side of the word love and filial piety is heavier?
Let the Hai Minh Son oath
Being a child must first repay the gift of birth.”
How painful Kieu was when she had to choose between filial piety and love. She accepted to sacrifice her love for Kim Trong to sell herself to redeem her father and brother. Even on the Ngong Bich floor, the nostalgia for her parents became even more intense. relentless and unrelenting. She loves her parents who are getting old but she can’t be by her side to take care of her:
“Pity the person leaning on the door tomorrow
Fan cold incubation concentrations of someone now”.
The humanitarian value of “Truyen Kieu” is also reflected in Thuy Kieu’s love with Kim Trong. That is also the concept of a free love of the great poet Nguyen Du. We just met for the first time in the Thanh Minh period, but both “national identity” and “genius” are “in love as if they were on the outside and e”. From then on, Kim Trong rented an apartment near Thuy Kieu’s house to see her, and Thuy Kieu “tattooed and tattooed the garden way alone” to Kim Trong’s house to swear “for a hundred years to carve a bronze word to the bone”.
Their love is a free, active love, stemming from the voluntariness of both sides. It broke down the feudal rituals that bound women to harsh rules and laws. They are completely passive and do not have the right to take the initiative in love. Loyalty to Kim made Thuy Kieu extremely painful when she gave her love back to Thuy Van and hoped that she would replace her oath with Kim Trong. .
Her life is a series of tragedies after each other. Passionate love with Kim Trong was not long before “in the middle of the road of love and affection” because of the unexpected event that Thuy Kieu’s family encountered. Love is broken, two people have to suffer separation, separation for a long time, and when they meet again, although their feelings for each other are still there, the two people choose to behave “the love of a couple is also a predestined friendship.” “.
Parallel to the tragedy of love is the tragedy of being trampled on dignity. In order to ransom her father and younger brother, Kieu sold herself to Ma Giam Sinh to be his wife, but the trickster sold Kieu into the green floor, causing her to “clean twice, clean up twice”.
She encounters scheming butchers like Tu Ba, Bac Ba, Bac Hanh, Ma Giam Sinh, So Khanh,…Thuy Kieu has to live a disgraceful life in a dirty green place. That is the picture of reality that the author wants to denounce. Nguyen Du has condemned society for money, but human dignity is trampled, the power of money can change white for black, causing innocent people to suffer injustice.
Discussing the humanitarian value of “Truyen Kieu”, Mong Lien Duong made a valid statement: “The text seems to be bleeding at the tip of the pen, the tears on the paper make anyone who reads it absorbent. shy”. Indeed, Nguyen Du writes about a woman’s status with so much pity and sympathy:
“Woman pain rather division
Word that silver is also a common destiny”
He was in pain for Thuy Kieu’s fate to suffer. He also appreciated her desire for a free love, her desire to live and her desire for happiness. “If it wasn’t for the eye to see through the six realms, and the heart to think for a thousand lifetimes, it would not have been possible to have that pen” (Mong Lien Duong). Hanh, perhaps Nguyen Du could not have written the famous work “The Tale of Kieu” not only in the country but also translated into many foreign languages.
Thuy Kieu is the character Nguyen Du sends her humanitarian thoughts. At the same time, she is also a character who embodies the humanitarian value of the entire masterpiece. “The Tale of Kieu” has awakened the hearts of each of us, making us shed tears by pitying the character Thuy Kieu. “The Tale of Kieu” is a great legacy and the soul of the Vietnamese nation. “The Tale of Kieu remains, our language remains, our language remains, our country remains” (Pham Quynh).

An essay analyzing humanitarian values in “The Tale of Kieu” by Nguyen Du No. 10
The owner of Mong Lien Duong (1820) commented: “… The description seems like blood is flowing at the tip of the pen, tears are seeping on the paper, making anyone who reads it must also feel pity and pain. intestines… To Nhu Tu used his heart to suffer, his narrative was clever, his description of the scene was the same, his conversation was established, if it weren’t for his eyes in the six realms, his heart thinking for thousands of lifetimes, how could he have that fountain pen.”
If it is a soul that is not battered by storms, a heart that does not sob at the bitterness of the world picture, a conscience that does not resent the inhuman and inhuman ways of life, then Nguyen Du, although No matter how brilliant the talent is, it is impossible to find the tones and poems that make the readers in the audience sound like crying, like lamenting, like resentful, like resentful.
Indeed, Tales of Kieu is not only a matter of the fate of oppressed people in society, but also a humanist voice earnestly raised from that society. It is the voice of the suffering class, demanding freedom of love and justice. The immense humanitarian spirit in Tales of Kieu is the crystallization of the nation’s noble humanitarian tradition for centuries. Tales of Kieu is a voice that earnestly defends the right to human life.
Among the countless victims of ancient society; Nguyen Du especially appreciates and sympathizes with the fragile fate of a talented and beautiful woman. For Nguyen Du, they are a crystallized image of the tragic fate of people in a deadlocked life. Typically Thuy Kieu, a talented, compassionate, loyal, pure, noble daughter. but have to constantly dive in the shameful mud of life.
Kieu has experienced most of the miserable lives of women under the feudal system: broken love, working as a prostitute, being a slave, being a concubine, being humiliated when her husband died. And when Tu Hai died, Kieu’s heart turned off all his wishes for happiness in the world:
“What’s left of the dead petals
My heart has broken the strings of the Tieu Lan lute
Wide love and thin pink pants
It’s a bit of a blessing to be able to see the original part.”
Outsiders hearing Kieu’s voice must also sob with the despair hidden in that small dream! Her life is summed up by the great poet rich in humanity with poignant lines:
“Unfortunately, it’s also a human life
It’s bad to bring talent instead
These are the sufferings of the past
Wait until the end of life, what is the body?”
However, Thuy Kieu does not only appear as a suffering victim but also a typical image of quality values, fighting spirit, typical of her attitude against feudal cults, daring to reach out to her. seek true happiness. Only the first minute of meeting with Mr. Kim; Kieu was shaken, secretly dreaming but extremely earnest: “Where do people meet – Do you know if there is any predestined relationship in a hundred years?” although Kieu still knows that: “It should be in the hearts of parents”.
When Kim Trong confessed, Kieu boldly accepted the commitment. When favorable, Kieu actively crossed the fence to her lover’s house, “Tattooed and tattooed on the garden path alone. Because of flowers, she had to find the way to find flowers”. The love that transcends the feudal cult is a very pure and faithful love. Kieu is a pure, dignified woman:
“Given to the father of the sutras
The Taoist sect takes the word virgin as the first word
Out on the deck in the mulberry
So, who wants to do that person?”
When forced to stay away, she carved the figure of Kim. All of them say that the dark forces of feudalism can only destroy Kieu’s happiness but cannot destroy the love in that faithful heart, just as Chu Manh Trinh wrote: This heart is like snow, like ice, sorrows pass day by day, month after month. The other pearl is spotless, the price is incomparable. The water has flowed, the soul of the old dream is still wandering. “Kim Trong’s love – Thuy Kieu is a beautiful love in feudal literature!
Che Lan Vien wrote: “To Nhu! Tears flowed around Kieu’s body.” Indeed, the poet’s great and profound compassion for people is like “blood flows at the tip of a pen, tears seep into the paper.” , as in harmony in each word, each verse tearing the intestines. In the passage “Ma Giam Sinh buys Kieu”, Thuy Kieu is the embodiment of a person being trampled, of a talent being tragically beaten. Describing the right mood of Kieu in the buying and selling scene – that’s reality; but it can express the immense pain when talent is crushed – it is deeply humane and humane.
Nguyen Du used to appreciate human talent when describing Thuy Kieu sisters; Now he is heartbroken again at his talent being crushed by brutal forces, represented by the ruthless and ruthless human trafficker with the cold, ruthless power of money in the old society: “Money back ready, nothing is done”. And, when Kieu was on the floor of Ngung Bich, she was “locked in spring” by Tu Ba, in an endless sadness that could not be alleviated, with no one to share – the sadness of a completely lonely person. in the midst of a lonely, quiet scene; Kieu can only remember about relatives.
The poet reversed love to filial piety, contrary to the usual order of feudal morality when he described Kieu as remembering Kim Trong first, remembering his parents later. If in the past, Nguyen Du did not regret praising the beautiful love that surpassed the feudal rites, now, when that first love is pure, “the brooch broke the vase”; He himself sympathizes with the feelings of the girl in love who is forced to be separated from her lover.
Nguyen Du really understands humanity! Nostalgia for loved ones also did not make Kieu relieve her overwhelming sadness. Sad to see the scene:
Sad looking at the sea gate in the afternoon
One boat sails looming in the distance.
Sad to see the new water
Where is the flowers drifted
Sad to look sad
Foot blue clouds green earth
Sad to see the wind blow my face
The sound of waves around the seat
Eight verses erect four sad pictures that begin with the two words “Sad looks”. It seems that here there are no people, only looks or rather, only moods. Kieu’s mood is also Nguyen Du’s mood. The poet’s heart seems to also blend in with the character, sympathize, mourn, and grieve with the character. Do not stop at praise and sympathy with the insiders.
The poet also erected a bronze statue of Tu Hai – symbolizing justice, justice and democracy in an evil and corrupt feudal society. It is a great hero with extraordinary features in appearance and physique:
Lobster beard, swallow jaw, you sir
Shoulders five feet wide, body ten feet high
Extraordinary in both bravery, talent, style, character:
The road of a hero
Consciousness is better than strength, including talent
Team heaven kicks the earth in life
Last name Tu is Hai, originally from Vietnam and East
The habit of wandering around
Half-carry sword, one row of mountains and rivers
Hai is the character that reflects the dream of freedom and justice. Tu Hai is a hero of great position, great talent, unparalleled bravery, very liberal and brazen, living the spirit of “teaming the sky to beat the ground”, “Walking across the wide sky and waving the sea”. Tu Hai is passionate about the ideal: “Skipping the sky and stirring the water – Who knows who is on top of the sky” With an epic tone, Nguyen Du tells about Tu Hai’s heroic career:
“Understanding the split structure of the tile tan
The military power from that word thundered inside and out
A private court in a corner of the sky
Consisting of two dances, two halves of the mountain!”
That invincible attitude, in many ways, has a strong counter-revolutionary meaning. The image of Tu Hai is a testament to the fall of feudal power. In particular, Tu Hai is also a man with a tolerant heart, benevolent, chivalrous, simple humane sentiments respecting human dignity, dignifiedly saving Kieu from the green building, giving Kieu a happy life. happy:
Glorious at the ceiling
The word love adds another spring day.
Tu Hai is Kieu’s greatest benefactor, the only one who can bring Kieu from the status of a green-floor girl to the position of a lady sitting in the judge’s chair to repay favors and revenge:
Lobster camp opened in the middle of the army
Xu Gong compared with the lady sitting together
Tien Nghiem, empty pregnant period
Take attendance first and lead outside the park
From that: “Animosity on both sides
Let her decide to pay for me.”
Tu Hai has set up a court, a law field to try the crooks and cruel people who have trampled and persecuted Kieu. That trial expressed the desire for justice, justice will prevail. Tu Hai came and went in Kieu’s life like a shining star; is the dream of dispelling all grievances, erasing injustices and injustices, and living freely outside the narrow confines of feudal society.
DREAM FROM HAI! Both grief and sympathy; while praising and agreeing with people who are trampled and oppressed; Nguyen Du has expressed in Tales of Kieu the profound humanitarian spirit of a genius artist. It is the humanitarian value that makes Tale of Kieu become a masterpiece of thousands of generations. There must be a goal in life to reach.

An essay analyzing humanitarian values in “The Tale of Kieu” by Nguyen Du No. 7
If humanistic inspiration is inclined to sympathize with the very human aspirations of people, and humanistic inspiration is inclined to praise the beauty of people, then humanitarian inspiration is the all-encompassing inspiration.
The core of humanitarian inspiration is compassion. Its essence is the word mind for people. A work of humanitarian inspiration when it praises the noble qualities of human beings, not only must sympathize with the trampled fates, condemn and denounce hostile forces, and at the same time must be sympathetic. love with the legitimate aspirations and dreams of people.
Nguyen Du loves people to the end, so his works are also humane to the end. Only through three excerpts from Truyen Kieu and the poem Doc Tieu Thanh signed in the textbook, readers can also partly understand the humane heart of poet Nguyen Du.
Feeling sorry for the lives of red-faced people, but also amateurs, are not new inspirations in literature, but it is not until Nguyen Du that readers are really heartbroken because of “things seen” by Nguyen Du. Write about the pain of others as much as your own. Thuy Kieu’s charming beauty and rare talent were described by Nguyen Du in two verses:
“One or two tilt the water to become
Had demanded a sharp, two graphics resource officers”
(Kieu story)
And Tieu Thanh, a real person who lived 300 years ago from Nguyen Du in China, was also a beautiful girl, talented in poetry, and left behind a collection of Tieu Thanh records. The story recounts that before dying, Tieu Thanh cried because she saw her portrait and realized she was beautiful.
How painful it is when a very young girl when she is about to die finds herself beautiful. However, it was Nguyen Du who understood more than anyone else that: “The sky is blue, the habit of rosy cheeks is jealous”, that: “If you have talent, you can rely on talent – The word talent comes with one syllable ear”. The lives of Thuy Kieu and Tieu Thanh are proof and also victims of the injustices and absurdities of life.
Thuy Kieu is so talented, so the person she loves must also be a writer “inside elegant, out pompous”. The two of them swore an oath “For a hundred years, I swear not to hold anyone’s boat” and have the moon in the sky to testify. But then disaster struck her family, causing Thuy Kieu to sacrifice love for filial piety.
The fact that Kieu sold herself to redeem her father was not because she acted according to the Confucian doctrine of the Three Kingdoms, but it was the filial piety of the son: “Being a son must first repay the gift of birth”. But only Nguyen Du can understand to the end the tragedy of Thuy Kieu when she had to give her love to her, asking her to pay for Kim on her behalf. She is now alive but dead. How much pain when Kieu admits to being a cheater:
“Oh Kim Lang, O Kim Lang
Come on, I’ve been supporting you from here.”
(Kieu story)
That exchange of love was the first tragedy that opened up the 15-year life of Thuy Kieu’s “merciful sufferings”. The life “smooth and draped” in the past has now been replaced by the life of “Strengthening leaves and branches of birds – Soon bring Tong Ngoc to find Trang Khanh”. Thuy Kieu did not find any joy in that “butterfly” life, but her real mood was joy, sadness, sadness, and ultimately remained in pain, a pain that was always tormenting, cannot be released. OLD
The researcher commented that Miss Kieu’s “startled and sorry” is just how precious. Without those “startling” moments, Kieu would be as mediocre as a village girl who lost all her dignity. That “startle” proves how much pain Thuy Kieu was when her dignity was dirty, “The star face is thick and windy – The body of the butterfly is so tired of the bees”. She is resentful, gnawing at the harsh reality, her life is imprisoned in a vicious circle with no way out:
“Give me the word pink face
Harm to butts to scales
Was exiled to a life of celibacy
Why insult just once?”
(Kieu story)
Readers do not seem to be able to distinguish between the words of the character and the words of the poet because Nguyen Du has incarnated to fully understand Thuy Kieu’s pain and grievances on her behalf.
Thuc Sinh appeared in Kieu’s life not only as a guest but also as a lover, a husband, and a benefactor. It was Thuc Sinh who redeemed her from the green and married her as a concubine. But this relationship was short-lived. Thuc Sinh had to return to his hometown to report the “old garden with more flowers” to his first wife, Hoan Thu. The farewell scene of two people is not only sad and nostalgic like other normal separations, but also has a premonition of a permanent separation.
“Whose moon split in two
Pillow in half, half a mile soi school”
(Kieu story)
The long-term hardships kept clinging to Thuy Kieu’s life as a fate, not allowing her to live a peaceful and happy life, even if it was short. So is Tieu Thanh. She is so talented that she must do the right thing, living in the torment of the cruel wife. Tieu Thanh is not like Thuy Kieu, 16 years old had to commit to a long life, but the scene of being imprisoned in Co Son mountain, day by day fear of being harmed by her first wife is no different from death.
A slow, exhausting, and equally painful death. After 300, only Nguyen Du quietly visited her in the frame of the book through the surviving manuscript. The beautiful scenery of Tay Ho also suffered the fate of a beautiful woman:
“Tay Ho landscape turns into a wild mound
Sobbing beside the broken piece of paper”
(Doc Tieu Thanh signed)
Nguyen Du pity for the fate of “literature”, of “makeup” are also involved in the end because they carry the destiny of man:
“The Spirit of the Deadly Hate
Literature has no life to spare.”
(There’s a god who still hates when he wears makeup.)
Literature is not destined to burn the king) (Doc Tieu Thanh Ky)
Still knowing that “The sky is blue, the habit of blushing cheeks is jealous” but it is still “an ancient regret” that Nguyen Du wants to question the sky, or question life, but in the end, there is still no answer. Just know that it’s the “unfair fortune” (strange injustice) of those who are polite. Hong Nhan, many amateurs, are the predestined sentences of people like Thuy Kieu and Tieu Thanh to carry. Kieu’s cry in front of Dam Tien’s grave:
“Woman pain rather division
Word that silver is also a common destiny”
(Kieu story)
It is also her cry for her future self and the cry for women in general. After all, Dam Tien, Thuy Kieu or Tieu Thanh, even though their fates have many different points, are still “the same generation in the neighboring sky”. Nguyen Du also considers himself to be in the same boat as those who have suffered strange injustices because of their politeness. To Nhu’s pain for Tieu Thanh’s fate is also self-pity for her own difficulties, so she longs for a soulmate:
“Ignorant three hundred years old
The people of the galaxy pray to To Nhu”
(I don’t know three hundred and odd years
Do people cry To Nhu?)
(Doc Tieu Thanh signed)
“Khap” means to cry silently, and “courage” means to cry loudly, to cry out loud. Nguyen Du spent his whole life crying for the misfortunes of people, but in the end, he only wished for the next life to cry silently. That is the humble desire of a person who understands life very well.
Reading “The Tale of Kieu” and “Doc Tieu Thanh Ky”, Nguyen Du always asked heaven about human suffering, but in fact, in the work, Nguyen Du showed that the cause of human suffering is due to forces. hostile to trample on human life and right to life.
Without the feudal system with the domination of money, Kieu would not have spent 15 years floating in the lake, without polygamy, Tieu Thanh would not have had such a tragic fate. Nguyen Du suffers from human pain, understands the causes of those tragedies, but Nguyen Du is helpless because he is also a victim of life’s berries.
Nguyen Du’s pain, Nguyen Du’s loneliness, Nguyen Du’s humanitarian heart all come from a great artist’s heart.

An essay analyzing humanitarian values in “The Tale of Kieu” by Nguyen Du No. 3
The noble humanitarian spirit is the unique ideological content that creates the human beauty of this poem. We are extremely proud of Nguyen Du, a soul sensitive to the beauty of nature, a heart rich in love, sympathetic to people’s thoughts and fate, a great talent in poetry has made radiant Vietnamese ancient literature. Nguyen Du’s humanitarian spirit is imbued in the page of Tales of Kieu.
Humanism is the idea of loving people and respecting human values. The expression of humanitarianism in Tales of Kieu is expressed through appreciating the beauty of people, pitying the painful fate of people, denouncing and criticizing the forces that trample on people, and understanding. people’s dreams.
Nguyen Du is very appreciative of human beauty. Nguyen Du has given a lot of favor when building character portraits. With Thuy Van, Nguyen Du described meticulously and in detail to create a portrait that is both lovely, sympathetic, solemn and noble:
“Van looks very solemnly different
Mold plump moon bouncing his strokes
The smiling flower is dignified and jaded
Cloudy lose hair color snow ceded skin color”
With Thuy Kieu, Nguyen Du uses the pen style “depicting clouds to paint the moon”, “spotting the eyes” to create a sharp, perfect portrait that no words can describe:
“Kieu is sharper and more salty
Compared to talent, it’s more
Autumn water, spring paint
United jealous loser poor petal blue willow hon”
Nguyen Du uses conventional methods to build character portraits, but for Nguyen Du, human beauty is not only comparable to nature, but even surpasses nature, causing nature to “lose, yield”, “jealousy, hatred” before human beauty. Both Thuy Kieu and Thuy Van have dignified and proper virtues:
“Fashion is very pink pants
Green Spring is about to arrive the next week
Quietly drooping the curtain
The wall is crowded with bees and butterflies.”
At Thuy Kieu, the beauty of filial piety shines up:
“Pity the person leaning on the door tomorrow
Fan warm and cold know someone now?
Lai yard is a few days away from the sun and rain
Sometimes the root of death has just been embraced by people.”
And faithfulness:
“Thinking of a person under the moon and a bronze cup
The misty news is looking forward to tomorrow
The horizon of a lonely pool
The son wash never fade”
Thuy Kieu also has a heart of gratitude:
“Sam Thuong is not full of words
Why would anyone dare to betray the old man?”
And a tolerant, generous heart:
“If you let go, you’ll be lucky
If you do it, you’ll be petty
If you are too kind, you should”
More advanced than the poets of the Middle Ages, Nguyen Du also appreciated women in terms of talent, he built a multi-talented character Thuy Kieu, whose talents are excellent and sublime:
“Intelligence is inherently divine
Mixing up the art of painting is full of the smell of chanting
The bow of love is the five syllables
A private profession eats away at the lake, holding a zhang
The house song chooses the chapter
A Silver Heaven’s destiny is even more human.”
Mercy for the painful fate of man. Grief for the human condition being trampled, despised, turned into a commodity to be weighed and measured:
“My anger is more angry
Flower shelf Flower charter a few steps up
Afraid of the wind and dew
Stop being shy and looking at a thick face.”
Nguyen Du enters the character to feel all the pain of the character, the work is written as “blood flowing on the tip of the pen”, sympathizing for the uncertain future, many insecurities of Kieu on the Ngong Bich floor:
“Sad looking at the broken door in the afternoon
One boat sails looming in the distance
Sad to see the new water
Where is the flowers drifted
Sad to look sad
Foot blue clouds green earth.
Sad to see the wind blow my face
Loud sound of waves around the seats”
Nguyen Du used the pen of reality to expose the evil nature of the inhumans in the ancient society, those who “trafficked in human flesh”, made a living on the bodies of innocent girls, typically Student Code. Nguyen Du has exposed the label of “college student” of the Ma surname to show his uneducated, crude personality – a person who does not know “love flowers, pity pearls”:
“There’s a woman near the area
Bring the traveler to find the name
Ask for the name, that: Student Code
Ask the hometown, that: Lam Thanh district is also close
Too old to be in his forties
Smooth beard and dashing clothes
Before the teacher, after me, I rushed
The bank brought the procession to the upper floor
The upper seat is sloppy.”
At the same time, he was also indignant at the merchant’s nature of Ma:
“Concerned about the balance of color and balance of talent
Squeezing the bow and holding the moon to test the talent of fanning poetry
A salty, one-of-a-kind look,
Willing to new guests arbitrarily reserved.
That: Buy jade to Lam Kieu
How much do you want to teach the wall?”
“Reduce one and add two”
In Tales of Kieu, Nguyen Du has expressed a noble dream, which is also the humanitarian spirit of the work, dreaming of a just life, good is encouraged, cherished, evil must be punished. , Pay the price. Nguyen Du’s humanitarianism is a humanitarianism imbued with love, humanity, and self-respect.

An essay analyzing humanitarian values in “The Tale of Kieu” by Nguyen Du No. 4
It was not until Nguyen Du that the humanitarian spirit was spread into literature and art, but it can be affirmed that since the embryo of Vietnamese literature, the humanitarian spirit has been most strongly crystallized in this author. And Truyen Kieu is one of the typical works bearing the most humanitarian value.
After all, humanity is the love between people and people. Humanity is expressed in many aspects, first of which is the attitude of denouncing and exposing the crimes of forces trampling on the right to life; praising and praising good human qualities; sympathize, understand the thoughts, feelings as well as aspirations of people, help them voice their wishes to fight to win that wish. All three of these expressions are present in the humanitarian value of Truyen Kieu.
In Tales of Kieu, Nguyen Du has an ideal character line that he loves. Writing about these people, the poet’s inspiration is always the inspiration of praise. Nguyen Du praised the beauty of Thuy Kieu, Thuy Van, Kim Trong, Tu Hai … with extremely beautiful poems. They are beautiful from beauty:
Autumn water, spring paint
United jealous loser poor petal blue willow hon
And talent is second to none:
Intelligence is inherently divine,
Mixing up the art of painting is full of the smell of chanting
That’s how Nguyen Du praises women. For male sites like Kim Trong and Tu Hai, the poet always chooses the most beautiful words to describe their appearance and talent:
Rich background, talented people,
Literature is earthly intelligent and heavenly.
Great temperament,
Elegant in, elegant out.
Shoulders five feet wide, body ten feet high
The road is full of heroes
Consciousness is more than strength, sports strategy includes talent.
Not only affirming human beauty from form, Nguyen Du also highly appreciates the qualities and personality of ideal characters. The central character in Tales of Kieu (Thuy Kieu) has a deep filial piety to her parents and is faithful to her lover. In order to repay the kindness of her parents, when the family met with a crisis and her father was arrested, Kieu decided to sell herself to redeem her father with a decisive thought: Being a child first must repay the gift of birth. Then, when she had to end her relationship with Kim, she was deeply saddened:
Now the broken mirror melts,
Tell me how to squeeze a lot of love!
That chaste heart, after fifteen years of wandering, was crushed in pain, but was always preserved by her. Not stopping at praising the beauty of people, Nguyen Du is always on the side of small people. On a humanist stance, the poet condemns and denounces all forces trampling on the human right to life.
From “anonymous and petty” people like a silk merchant to species like So Khanh, Tu Ba, Ma Giam Sinh, Bac Ba, and Bac Hanh, to those who “eat on and on for a while”, belong to the national level such as: Hoaan Thu, Ho Ton Hien, etc. were all exposed by Nguyen Du to his evil, cruel, vile, infamous face. They exist in the poet’s story as dark, reactionary forces, always spreading inhuman actions on the fate of small, unfortunate people.
Because of them, Thuy Kieu’s family, who is in peace, must be dispersed. Because of them, a beautiful and talented girl like Thuy Kieu was mercilessly beaten. Fifteen years of wandering is the fifteen years Kieu has to experience and bear all the most terrible injustices. Nguyen Du’s greatest and most painful discovery about the human condition was the discovery of the human condition in a feudal society. Humans are considered as a commodity, sometimes they are bargained and weighed:
The stork reduced one, added two,
It’s now a long time to fall, gold is over four hundred.
Humans have been sold twice to the dirtiest place in the world: Thanh Lau twice, Thanh Y twice. Humans were beaten by the whip: The back of the flesh fell, the head of the blood fell. Humans are unjustly beaten by jealousy; People are taken advantage of, turned into traitors…
Trampled on people are countless inhuman forces. They patrol, join forces to strangle human life. Perhaps in the history of pain, there has never been a woman who has had to endure such excruciating, piling and terrifying pain as Nguyen Du’s Thuy Kieu.
Denunciation of the forces that destroy people also means that Nguyen Du understands the suffering that people have to endure. More than once in his compositions, the poet cried: How painful is the condition of a woman!
And when writing about Thuy Kieu – the most unjust woman in the feudal society, the poet’s pen always dives deep into the character’s mood, discovers the pain and describes them in a touching way. It can be considered that Giving Love is one of the best excerpts, deeply expressing the poet’s compassion. Giving souvenirs to Thuy Van, Thuy Kieu still seems to have inconsolable regrets and seems to want to hold on: This fate is to keep this object in common.
The two words of the general that the author chooses are enough to express that mood. It seems that there is a strange sympathy between Thuy Kieu and Nguyen Du. That’s why all of Thuy Kieu’s long stories are understood and expressed by Nguyen Du with a strange loving feeling. Coming to Tu Hai to enter the Kieu life, Nguyen Du did not aim to build her a new love.
More importantly, he wanted this hero to free her from the end of her life, to return to her the justice that she had been robbed by treacherous, evil, and evil people. And most of all, from the characters Thuy Kieu, Tu Hai, and Nguyen Du, they also speak about the aspirations of the people of their time: the desire for love and the desire for justice. Never in medieval literature has a girl dared to tear the fence at night, tattoo herself on the road late at night, and go alone to a lover’s house like Thuy Kieu.
Never in medieval literature has a hero dared to extend his hand to save a beauty and help her regain justice like Tu Hai. In the Nguyen Du era, his aspiration was utopian aspiration. But clearly, the poet’s thought shows a progressive vision beyond the times and imbued with the spirit of humanity. That’s why Nguyen Du has eyes that see through the six realms and has a heart that thinks for a thousand lifetimes.
Along with artistic values, humanitarian values are one of the aspects that make up the success of Truyen Kieu. But above all, that humanitarian value is evidence of a heart, a noble personality of the times and of the nation.

An essay analyzing humanitarian values in “The Tale of Kieu” by Nguyen Du No. 5
In the title of the poem “Dan Truong Tan Thanh”, Dr. Pham Quy Thich wrote:
… the jade face is buried in the bottom of the water,
The virginity is not ashamed of Kim Lang.
The long dream of waking up and falling,
Silver fate group stop hating and questioning king…
(translated by Nguyen Quang Tuan)
Pham Quy Thich was a contemporary of Nguyen Du. The preface of this famous Confucian affirmed and praised the humanitarian value of the masterpiece Truyen Kieu. Kieu’s fifteen years of exile is a tearful fate filled with tears that touches people’s hearts “Cao fragrant turns in front of the lamp…” 3254 Kieu’s verses are full of Nguyen Du’s immense love in front of the tragedies. drama of life“things that hurt to see.
The humanitarian spirit is the humanistic inspiration that covers the entire Tale of Kieu. It is the voice praising the values and good qualities of people such as talent, filial piety, selflessness, faithfulness in love… It is also the heart of the poet who agrees with the dreams. and the aspiration for conjugal love, for freedom and justice; is sympathy and compassion for the pain and suffering of people, especially for the woman with “unlucky fate” in the feudal society.It can be said that Nguyen Du’s humanitarian inspiration is inspiration. respect and love the oppressed and trampled people.
The humanitarian spirit in Tales of Kieu is, first of all, a voice praising the values and good qualities of people. Kieu is the embodiment of great beauty and talent. She is beautiful, brilliant “Jealousy flowers lose love. Willows are less green”. Kieu is not only beautiful, but also has a comprehensive talent, very proud:
Intelligence is inherently divine,
Mixing the art of painting is full of the smell of soaked songs.
Kim Trong, a writer, amateur “inside elegant, out pompous” is a “genius” converging of the quintessence of the era of “earthly literature, intelligent nature”. Kim’s every step gives the earth, the sky, the plants, the flowers and the leaves a wonderful and beautiful vitality:
Comedy walking green miles,
An area like a daffodil tree.
The love of “Kim Trong-Thuy Kieu” is a love affair. It is a voluntary love that goes beyond the framework of the feudal rites, very pure and faithful of “national people, geniuses”. Kieu is a filial son. The family had an accident. The property was stolen by the wrongdoers “Clean connoisseurs and greed filled his pockets”, his father was imprisoned. Kieu decided to sacrifice his own love to save his father and family. Thuy Kieu’s act of selling himself to redeem his father was imbued with beautiful humanitarian spirit, making readers extremely impressed and moved:
Raindrops think of cowardice,
The dose of grass is determined to pay for three springs.
I’d rather risk a body
Even though the flowers have disintegrated, the leaves are still green.
Reading Tales of Kieu, following Kieu’s miserable path, I was deeply impressed by her kind heart, filial piety, and gratitude. Kieu seemed to forget all her own pain but devoted all her love and affection to her parents and two younger siblings. She worries about her parents being old, weak, sad, no one to take care of her.
Pity someone at the door tomorrow,
Fan cold incubation concentrations of someone now…
The “grace-giving” episode in Tales of Kieu is also a very beautiful feature of humane affection. In the face of the tragedy of life, “Two ways of filial piety,” Kieu “trusted me” and gave Thuy Van a chance to pay for the meaning of “new country to Kim:
… Your spring days are still long,
Merciful love of immature blood instead of words.
Even though your flesh is broken and your bones are worn out,
Laughing nine streams is still fragrant.
The dab with the cloud sheet,
This fate is kept, this thing is common
The humanitarian spirit in Tales of Kieu is also the voice of sympathy and sympathy of poet Nguyen Du with dreams of justice and aspirations for freedom.
Tu Hai is an epic figure, an outstanding hero with true talent and extraordinary strength. A superhuman appearance: “Lobster’s beard swallows his brow – Shoulders five inches wide, body ten feet high.” The glorious and famous feats: “The city district toppled five courts of the south”. Tu Hai is a hero full of spirit “who knows who’s on the head”. That hero, when the sword is swung, justice is done:
The voice hero called that,
In the middle of the road, even if it feels unfair, forgive.
Tu Hai brought the hero’s power to help Kieu “revenge the sentence”. The image of Tu Hai is an outstanding success of Nguyen Du in the art of character building, a profound expression of the humanitarian spirit. Human beauty exudes through this image, like a shooting star passing through the dark stormy night of Kieu’s life. Short but bright with hope and faith.
Human fate – that is the unrelenting torment of Nguyen Du. The immense benevolent heart of the poet has devoted to a human life with deep sympathy and compassion.
After selling herself to Ma Giam Sinh, Kieu spent fifteen years wandering, tasting all the bitter and humiliating smells: “Two times of purity, twice of purity.” Tu Hai was deceived by Ho Ton Hien, was Kieu had to serve wine, play the guitar at a mandarin party,… so frustrated, she jumped into the Tien Duong River to commit suicide. instead, harm, what to do, what is the body” like tears filled with humanitarian love, mourning for the long passages:
… pity also a human life,
Harm instead of bringing talent to do.
These are the sufferings of the past
Wait until the end of life, what is the body!…
The character Dam Tien is forever an obsession for everyone. The prostitute was “famous for her talent for a while” but her fate was painful “Living as a wife all over the world – Harm fell to become a ghost without a husband”. Kieu stood in front of Dam Tien’s grave, expressing her heartfelt sympathy! Kieu weeps Dam Tien or Nguyen Du weeps for the pain of so many women buried in the old society?
Woman pain rather division,
Word that silver is also a common destiny.
Nguyen Du, the nation’s genius poet, through the fate and personality of the central character – Thuy Kieu – has expressed in his masterpiece poem Doan Truong Tan Thanh deep humanitarian inspiration and touching. The noble humanitarian spirit is the unique ideological content that creates the human beauty of this poem.

Nguyen Du and Truyen Kieu live forever in the nation’s soul, like a mother’s lullaby. The poet’s humanitarian inspiration is the eternal love:
A thousand years later remember Nguyen Du,
Love sounds like a mother’s lullaby in the days…
(Dear Mr. Nguyen Du – To Huu)

An essay analyzing humanitarian values in “The Tale of Kieu” by Nguyen Du No. 8
The Tale of Kieu is a masterpiece of Vietnamese medieval literature at the end of the XNUMXth century. The Tale of Kieu not only recreates the picture of Vietnamese feudal society at the end of the XNUMXth century, but also imbued with the spirit of humanity and humanity. profoundly, that is the sympathy and sympathy of the author NGUYEN Du for Thuy Kieu – also the women who suffered many injustices in the ancient society.
The humanitarian spirit is one of the two greatest values of the work of Tales of Kieu, this humanitarian spirit is first expressed through the criticism and denunciation of the unjust feudal society, the dark forces of the money trampled on dignity, on the life of unhappy people. Because of being tricked by a silk seller, Thuy Kieu’s family suffered, Thuy Kieu’s father and younger brother were tortured and tortured by the wrongdoers in order to extract money.
Because she wanted to save her father and the whole family, Thuy Kieu had to cut off her relationship with Kim and decided to sell herself to redeem her father. Thuy Kieu sold herself to Ma Giam Sinh for four hundred taels of gold, so we can see the terrible influence of money. Because of money, people are willing to trample on their fellow human beings, for money they can sell their consciences cheaply, and for money, a talented girl like Thuy Kieu also becomes a commodity to negotiate more or less.
The humanitarian spirit is also reflected in Nguyen Du’s deep sympathy for women in feudal society. At the beginning of Tales of Kieu, Nguyen Du also expressed his grief at the unfortunate fate of women:
“Woman pain rather division
Word that silver is also a common destiny”
The author has shown his compassion and empathy for women, because in the old feudal society, they were not respected but were treated unfairly by society, causing many tragedies. . Therefore, the story of Kieu is not only a sympathetic voice for Thuy Kieu but also a common cry for the fate of many other women in society.
Nguyen Du has affirmed, promoting women, this is clearly shown through the construction of portraits of characters Thuy Kieu, Thuy Van, which is also the promotion of talent in this woman. In ancient medieval poetry, authors often tended to take people as the standard to promote nature, but until Nguyen Du that standard was changed, he used nature as a measure to evaluate beauty. of human. Expressed through the way Nguyen Du describes the Thuy Kieu sisters:
“Van looks very solemnly different
Mold plump moon bouncing his strokes
The smiling flower is dignified and jaded
Cloudy lose hair color snow ceded skin color”
When describing the beauty of Thuy Van, Nguyen Du used natural symbols such as: moon, flowers, pearls, clouds, snow – that is the standard of ancient beauty to talk about the noble, gentle and elegant character. Thuy Van’s beautiful face, gentle eyes, and bright smile like flowers and pearls are not found in ancient medieval poetry.
Showing compassion for the condition of Miss Kieu when she had to live on the Ngong Bich floor, Nguyen Du also described the girl’s mood with a pitiful and sympathetic attitude. That is the painful and sad mood of Miss Kieu when she is imprisoned in the Ngong Bich floor, when freedom is clamped, her youth is locked. Feelings of pain, nostalgia, and premonitions of insecurity are all subtly reproduced by NGUYEN Du in the excerpt from Kieu on the floor of Ngung Bich:
“In front of the Ngong Bich floor, spring lock
The beauty of the moon is far away, and the moon is close together
The four sides are far and wide
Yellow sand dunes, rose bushes, miles there.”
Thus, with a compassionate heart, rich in love, Nguyen Du has shown a profound humanitarian spirit in his work Truyen Kieu.

An essay analyzing humanitarian values in “The Tale of Kieu” by Nguyen Du No. 2
Nguyen Du is the great poet of our nation in the nineteenth century. His “Truyen Kieu” is the shining peak and great pride of Vietnam’s ancient literature.
“After a tumultuous
Sightings that painful heart”
This lyrical-narrative poem is not only a voice condemning the dark and brutal forces in the corrupt feudal society but also “expresses the noble humanitarian spirit of poet Nguyen Du”.
The humanitarian spirit is the humanistic inspiration that covers the entire “Truyen Kieu”. It is a voice praising the values and good qualities of talented people, filial piety, selflessness, faithfulness in love… It is the heart of the poet who agrees with the dreams and aspirations of the world. couple love, about freedom and justice; is sympathy and pity for the pain and suffering of people, especially for the woman who is “unlucky” in the feudal society. It can be said that Nguyen Du’s humanitarian inspiration is the inspiration to cherish and love the oppressed and trampled people.
The humanitarian spirit in “Truyen Kieu” is, first of all, a voice praising the values and good qualities of people. Kieu is the embodiment of beauty and great talent. She is beautiful, brilliant “Jealousy flowers lose love, willows are less green”. Kieu is not only beautiful “tilting the water, leaning into the city” but also has a comprehensive and outstanding talent that is very proud:
“Intelligence is inherently divine,
Mixing the profession of painting is enough to smell the chanting”.
Kim Trong, a writer, amateur “inside elegant, out pompous”. Is a “genius” convergence of the quintessence of the era “literary with earthy, intelligent nature”. Kim’s every step brings a beautiful and magical vitality to the earth and the sky:
“Comedy walking the green mile,
An area is like a daffodil tree.”
Love Kim Trong – Thuy Kieu is a love affair. It is a voluntary love that goes beyond the framework of feudal cults, is very pure and faithful of “national identity, genius”.
Kieu is a filial son. The family had a disaster, the property was “cleaned and filled with greed”, the father was imprisoned. Kieu decided to sacrifice her own love to save her father and family. Thuy Kieu’s act of selling herself to redeem her father demonstrates the virtue of sacrifice and is imbued with a beautiful humanitarian spirit, making the reader extremely impressed and moved:
“The raindrops think of cowardice,
The dose of grass is determined to pay for three springs” or:
“It is better to risk one body,
Even though the wings are broken, the leaves are still green.”
Reading “The Tale of Kieu”, following Kieu’s arduous path, I was deeply impressed by her kindness, filial piety, and gratitude. Kieu seemed to forget all her own pain, but devoted all her love and affection to her parents and two younger siblings. She worries about her parents, who are old, weak, sad, and have no one to take care of.
“Mourning on tomorrow’s door,
Fan cold incubation concentrations of someone now…”
The episode of “charming” in “Truyen Kieu” is also a very beautiful feature of humane affection. Before the tragedy of life ‘Two ways of filial piety’, Kieu ‘depended on you’ and gave Thuy Van a chance to pay the meaning of ‘new country’ to Kim:
“Your spring days are still long,
Merciful love of immature blood instead of words.
Even though your flesh is broken and your bones are worn out,
Laughing nine streams is still fragrant.
The dab with the cloud sheet,
This fate is to keep this thing in common.”
The humanitarian spirit in “Truyen Kieu” is also the voice of sympathy and sympathy of poet Nguyen Du with dreams of justice and aspirations for freedom. Tu Hai is an epic figure, an outstanding hero with true talent and extraordinary strength.
A sublime appearance “Lobster beard swallows his eyebrows. Shoulders five inches wide, body ten feet high”. The glorious and illustrious feats “The city district toppled five southern courts”. Tu Hai is a hero full of spirit “You know who’s on your head!”. That hero, when the sword is swung, justice is done:
“The voice hero called that
In the middle of the road, even if it feels unfair, forgive me.”
Tu Hai brought the power of the hero to help Kieu “revenge the hatred”. The image of Tu Hai is an outstanding success of Nguyen Du in the art of character building, a profound expression of the humanitarian spirit. Human beauty exudes through this image, like a shooting star passing through the dark stormy night of Kieu’s life, short but bright with hope and faith:
“That: Word is a hero.
Across the wide sky, waving the sea.
Human fate – that is the unrelenting torment of Nguyen Du. The immense benevolent heart of the poet has devoted to a human life with deep sympathy and compassion.
After selling herself to Ma Giam Sinh, Kieu spent fifteen years in exile, tasting all the bitter and humiliating smells “Two times of Thanh Long, Twice of Thanh’s Medicine”. Tu Hai was tricked by Ho Ton Hien and was killed. Kieu had to serve wine and play the piano at a mandarin party… so frustrated, she had to jump into the Tien Duong River to commit suicide. Nguyen Du’s verse is like a sob rising to the heart. The words: ‘sorry’, ‘harmful’, ‘doing nothing’, ‘what is left of body’ are like tears filled with humanity, mourning for the long passages:
“Unfortunately, it’s also a human life,
It’s bad to bring talent instead
These are the sufferings of the past
Wait until the end of life, what is the body!”.
The character Dam Tien is forever an obsession for everyone. The prostitute is “famous for her talent and talent” but her fate is painful. “Living as a wife is everywhere. Harm falls to become a ghost without a husband”. Kieu stood in front of Dam Tien’s grave, expressing her heartfelt sympathy! Kieu cried Dam Tien or Nguyen Du wept for the pain of so many women who were buried in the old society!
“Woman pain rather division
Word that silver is also a common destiny”.
Nguyen Du, the nation’s genius poet through the fate and personality of the central character – Thuy Kieu – has expressed in his masterpiece poem “Duong Tan Thanh” profound and touching humanitarian inspiration.
The noble humanitarian spirit is the unique ideological content that creates the humane beauty of this poem, We are extremely proud of Nguyen Du, a delicate soul that feels the beauty of nature, a heart rich in love, sympathizing with people’s thoughts and fate, a great poetic talent has brightened Vietnamese literature.
Nguyen Du and “Truyen Kieu” live forever in the nation’s soul, like a mother’s lullaby. The poet’s humanitarian inspiration is the eternal love:
“Thousands of years later, remember Nguyen Du
Love is like a mother’s lullaby in the days…”

An essay analyzing humanitarian values in “The Tale of Kieu” by Nguyen Du No. 9
It can be said that literature can only move people’s hearts and have immortal vitality when that literary work has a profound humanity. And being known as a masterpiece of literature is not only about the art of words, but the work must also have a deep humanitarian inspiration to have a lasting vitality. And the masterpiece “The Tale of Kieu” is considered a literary work with long-lasting vitality, so it must have a deep humanitarian inspiration.
From ancient times until now, humanitarian inspiration comes from the love of people for people.
We can see that a work is inspired by humanity when it celebrates the noble qualities of people. Moreover, it is an agreement with their legitimate aspirations and at the same time a compassionate sympathy for how many unfortunate fates they have also been trampled and forced upon.
The work also seems to have brought humanitarian inspiration, but it must also be a condemnation of hostile forces, unfair society trampled on human dignity. Indeed, writer Nguyen Du appreciates Thuy Kieu’s talent above all, those are the sentences that are:
“One or two tilt the water to become
Had demanded a sharp, two graphics resource officers”
That’s why when Kieu sold herself to redeem her father, she had to give her love and ask her to pay Kim’s favor instead. At this time, the poet Nguyen Du understood the tragedy of her life even more. It can be seen that in the fifteen years of exile, the fifteen years of Thuy Kieu’s arduous life. The more he loved Kieu, the more Nguyen Du seemed to love her noble and pure qualities. He also grieved to the end for a man with a poor face:
“Give me the word pink face
Harm to butts to scales
Was exiled to a life of celibacy
Why insult just once?”
It seems that we have also seen that it was Nguyen Du who entered the body to understand the pain of Thuy Kieu and the great poet Nguyen Du was also very angry on her behalf. Nguyen Du indeed considers herself as Thuy Kieu, which is the same thing as carrying the same cruel injustices caused by the persecuted society, the same desire to have a soulmate to pour her heart out. NS:
“Ignorant three hundred years old
The people of the galaxy pray to To Nhu”
(I don’t know three hundred and odd years
Do people cry To Nhu?)
(Doc Tieu Thanh signed)
Readers can also see that throughout “The Tale of Kieu”, Nguyen Du always seems to question what is the cause of the ultimate human suffering. But reality has shown that he himself knows that the society is unfair and that society has the magic of money that has pushed talented people like Kieu into a muddy, tragic life.
He also understood the cause, but he himself did not seem to be able to turn things around. Because of him, it is Nguyen Du, who has a humane heart, is also being exiled by troubled times.
Nguyen Du is considered a great poet of the Vietnamese nation. His humanitarian heart also seems to have come from the artist’s own heart. Moreover, readers can feel that it is his voice, which is the common heart of many oppressed fates in contemporary society at that time.

An essay analyzing humanitarian values in “The Tale of Kieu” by Nguyen Du No. 1
Nguyen Du is a great national poet in Vietnam, famous in world culture. Tales of Kieu is a collection of his great achievements that crystallize deeply realistic and humanitarian values. Reading the excerpts “Sisters Thuy Kieu”, “Kieu on the floor of Ngung Bich”, “Ma Giam Sinh bought Kieu”, we see that the author has pity for Thuy Kieu’s unfortunate fate, but it is also a pity. pity the fate of women in the old society.
The humanitarian value of the work is first expressed in compassion for the unfortunate woman. In the excerpt Ma Giam Sinh buys Kieu, Nguyen Du’s humanitarian pen helps readers see his heart for the character Thuy Kieu. Thuy Kieu is a filial son. Before the evolution, she decided to sell herself to redeem her father and brother.
Using a conventional pen, the author highlights Kieu’s shame, humiliation, and humiliation when she is treated as a commodity. A talented and virtuous girl like Kieu becomes a commodity to be bought and sold. Not only that, they also “Stork reduced one more by two”, Nguyen Du sympathized for her suffering when Ma Giam Sinh “weighed in balance”. Nguyen Du understood Kieu’s mood.
That is an expression of the shining humanitarian thought in the work. Kieu on the Ngong Bich floor is a typical excerpt for the art of describing the inner character of the character in Tales of Kieu, the author has helped readers understand the pain, nostalgia, loneliness and fear of Kieu. Having to sell herself to redeem her father and give her love to her brother, Kieu fell into the hands of Ma Giam Sinh and Tu Ba.
Kieu did not want to receive guests from the village, so she sought death, but she was saved. Because Tu Ba was afraid of Thuy Kieu’s death, “Stop wasting your money and go to a haunted house”, so she coaxed her sweetly and pretended to take her out to the Ngong Bich floor to wait for a decent place to marry. In fact, Ngung Bich floor is the place where Thuy Kieu is imprisoned – where her youth is locked. This place is also the starting point for Kieu’s painful and humiliating journey.
Nguyen Du’s pen is like shedding tears when describing objects through Thuy Kieu’s mood. Amidst the quiet and vast nature, without a shadow of people, Kieu could only see “the four far-reaching sides”. A feeling of loneliness, sadness, and humiliation invaded her soul. She felt sorry for her identity and fate:
Shame the clouds early and late at night
Half love and half scene like sharing heart.
Is that also the author’s pain for talented but unhappy women like Thuy Kieu? The humanitarian value of the work is reflected in the fact that the author praises the beauty of appearance as well as the beauty and quality of sisters Thuy Van and Thuy Kieu. Excerpt from “Thuy Kieu sisters” the author praised the beauty of Thuy Van and Thuy Kieu with beautiful words. Describing Thuy Van, Nguyen Du’s pen expresses respect: Van looks different solemnly.
The two words “formal” speak of the noble and noble beauty of Thuy Van. The solemn and dignified beauty of a young woman is compared with the beautiful things in the world: the moon, flowers, clouds, snow, pearls. The author has used images of nature with special beauty, pure, pure and brilliant to describe the beauty of Thuy Van.
Her face is as beautiful as the full moon. Smile like a flower. A clear voice escaped from her jade teeth. Soft, graceful hair is more beautiful than the clouds in the sky. The white color of the snow still cannot compare with Thuy Van’s white skin. Nature must also lose, must yield to her beauty.
By means of art of comparison and metaphor, the author has highlighted the honest, kind and noble beauty of the young woman. Thuy Van’s portrait is a portrait of fate, Van’s beauty creates a calmness and harmony with her surroundings. That predicts her life will be smooth and happy. It must be someone who knows how to love beauty and appreciate the beauty of Nguyen Du to have such a description.
Praising Thuy Kieu, Nguyen Du not only praised the beauty of the form, but the author also praised the beauty in terms of soul and talent. Just like when describing Thuy Van, the first verse summarizes the character’s characteristics: “Kieu is sharper and more salty”. She is sharp in intellect, salty in soul and emotional. Describing the beauty of Thuy Kieu, the author still uses conventional art images: “Thu Thuy” (autumn water), “Spring mountain” (spring mountain), flowers, willow.
The poet’s drawing is inclined to evoke, creating a general impression of the beauty of a great beauty. It is noteworthy that when painting the portrait of Thuy Kieu, the author focuses on describing the beauty of the eyes, because the eyes are the expression of the elite part of the soul and intellect. The sharpness of the mind, the saltiness of the soul are related to the eyes. The conventional image of “autumn water” – rippling autumn water vividly evokes the beauty of clear, glittering, flexible eyes.
The conventional image of “spring paint” – spring mountain features evokes delicate eyebrows on a youthful face. When describing Thuy Van, the author mainly describes her beauty but does not show her talent and love. However, when describing Kieu, the poet describes one part of beauty and also spends two parts to describe talent.
Kieu’s talent reached the ideal level, according to the feudal aesthetic concept, including all: holding, examination, exam, painting. In particular, her talent in playing the lute was her forte, talent, and surpassing everyone else: “Cuong Thuong is a five-syllable level. A private profession eats away at the lake and takes a zhang”. Emphasizing Thuy Kieu’s talent is also to praise her special mind. The silver harp that Thuy Kieu herself composed is the recording of the heart of a sentimental, melancholy heart.
Thus, the beauty of Thuy Kieu is the convergence of both beauty – talent – love. The author used the idiom “tilt the water to tilt to the wall” to describe the beauty. Thuy Kieu’s beauty can make people so infatuated that they lose their country. Portrait of Thuy Kieu is also a portrait of fate. Kieu’s beauty makes the Creator jealous, jealous of “jealous flowers”, “willow anger”, signaling her fate to encounter many hardships and sufferings.
Obviously, it takes a person with a loving heart to see all the beauty of unhappy people to praise. The compassion, sincerity about Thuy Kieu’s beauty and talent help us to understand the humanitarian value expressed through these excerpts in particular, in the work of Tales of Kieu in general.
The humanitarian value is also reflected in the author’s disdain and hatred for those “trafficking human flesh” of which the “student” surnamed Ma is a typical example. The author has exposed the evil face of a trafficker disguised as a student at Quoc Tu Giam with a series of details showing his rudeness and monstrosity. Although he is “forty weeks old”, he still dresses well, his beard is smooth, not suitable for his age:
“Over the age of forty years old
Clean beard and neat clothes.”
In terms of actions, gestures reveal the nature of an uneducated, unruly name: “The chair on the seat is rude”. With just the word “tót”, Nguyen Du seemed to deal a fatal blow to his face pretending to be knowledge. his nature is even more evil, so that he reveals the face of the merchant with the image: “The stork reduces one more by two”.
Meeting a family in need of help, a “student” like him should have sympathized, pity, and help, but he did not. The face of the trafficker was described most fully by Nguyen Du. Describing the character Ma Giam Sinh is also to express the author’s hatred towards the person who is the representative of the money society, the money has trampled on all the good values in life – “In me, Coins are available; it is easy to change white instead of black.
With “The Tale of Kieu”, Nguyen Du voiced sympathy and pity for the condition of women, a voice praising the beauty of people and a voice condemning the evil, brutal society, full of scams. The cunning filter that the excerpts from Sisters Thuy Kieu and Kieu on the floor of Ngung Bich and Ma Giam Sinh buy Kieu are typical examples of the author’s humanitarian thought. Thereby we also see the immense humanitarian heart of the author. Nguyen Du and “The Tale of Kieu” will last forever with time.
