Bringing cooking into poetry is something the people of old time once did. And I, drawing from the treasure trove of proverbs and folk verses my mother passed down, have learned many rustic yet profound lessons about cooking.

This is the theme of a talk aimed at spreading the cultural and spiritual values of the nation through poetry in the legacy of Emperor-Monk Tran Nhan Tong, presented interestingly by Mr. Nhat Chieu, the speaker and researcher. The event was co-organized by Legacy Brand, Hue Book and Culture Space, Tri Thuc Viet, and Lua Decor on Sunday morning (June 29) at Hue Book and Culture Space (at 23-25 Le Loi Street, Hue City).

Spring has knocked on every door, and may today's verses and melodies bring the fragrance, colors, and spirit of spring to all, welcoming a joyful and prosperous 2025.

With the theme "Spring Fragrance," the Hue Poetry Festival is a series of events celebrating Vietnamese Poetry Day, aiming to honor the achievements of poetry - the spiritual product that is indispensable in social life.

On the afternoon of January 21, the exhibition by the Huong River Antique Pottery Museum, included a cultural and artistic seminar along with a calligraphy exhibition focused on the theme “Imperial City of Hue in Poetry - Emperor Thieu Tri and the Collection of Ngu De Do Hoi Verses”.

In recent days, the Vietnamese Zen poetry week taking place in Hue has brought to the public a unique artistic and cultural living space imbued with the taste of Zen.

From March 25-31, Vietnamese Zen Poetry Week will take place in Hue. The event is organized by Lieu Quan Buddhist Cultural Center, Hue Monuments Conservation Center, and Tam Viet cultural research group.
