In the last decades of the nineteenth century, in Vietnam, there were many movements to spread the national language (Vietnamese scripts in Latin system), in which, an important means to spread and perfect Vietnamese language is the national language newspaper. Nam Phong magazine, founded by Pham Quynh on July 1, 1917, was one of the first newspapers written in modern writing system for the Vietnamese language. Many researchers, readers, lecturers, and students have come to the library to read these texts to learn how the national language was from the beginning, how the intellectuals in the past initially participated in the world of academia, culture, science ... The number of books from the beginning of the last century is very small and it is difficult for many readers to access and use. Therefore, this book is published for readers to access those old documents, studies on novels, folk songs and proverbs of Vietnam in the early twentieth century.
