Abstract

Ngu che tieu binh Bac ky nghich phi and Ngu che tieu binh Nam Ky tac khau form the two sets of Ngu che poetries by King Minh Menh. The poems of these two documents were printed in the third part and the fourth part of Ngu che Poetry. However, for the purpose of extensive popularization of the two poems, in 1835, King Minh Menh ordered the poems to be printed separately. Currently, printed boards and prints of these two documents are still stored at National Archives Center N0 4 – Da Lat and at the Institute of Han Nom. The prints in Han Nom Institute are fairly full in text, but the document stored in Dalat lost many wood texts, leading to the lack of many pages, and missing of poems. On that basis, we have done some studies, made some comparison with prints at the Institute of Han Nom to find out the papers, the number of lost poems in order to complete the texts in Dalat.
