5 Overview about the issue (issue history)

5.1 Research orientations on Hoang Cam’s poetry art

Among modern Vietnamese poets, Hoang Cam is the one who

is highly assessed thanks to his art valued contributions to the contemporary lyric poetry

Researchers and critics such as Do Duc Hieu, Do Lai Thuy, Nguyen Dang Diep, Chu Van Son, Phan Huy Dung, Dang Tien, Nguyen Viet Chien, etc have paid their special attention to the aspect

of tone in Hoang Cam‟s poetry; these tones are folk song and angry

tones However, these researchers have just stopped at mentioning

the issues other than researching them furthermore, interpreting specifically profound effects of Kinh Bac culture on poetic inspiration and tone of Hoang Cam‟s poetry Those findings are very precise and accurate and they will be scientific foundations for the dissertation to inherit and develop

In respect of languages used in Hoang Cam‟s poetry, researchers and critics such as Tran Manh Hao, Ngo Van Phu, Chu Van Son, Dang Tien, Hoai Viet, etc have their different, even contrast comments and assessments However, all of these researchers and critics point out profound artistry values of Hoang Cam‟s poetry, especially achievements on language aspect That is clever combination between traditional and modern characteristics, lyric characteristics and scientific qualifications in languages of Hoang Cam‟s poetry These authors affirm that it is the language of new, young and queerly attractive poem Additionally, many critics and researchers such as Do Duc Hieu, Do Lai Thuy, Le Dat, Phan Huy Dung, etc highlight surrealistic impressions in Hoang Cam‟s poetry

Articles, researches and opinions mentioned above agree to indicate that there are a virtual world, surrealistic poetry images, elements of sub-conscience, non-conscience, spirit, etc in Hoang Cam‟s poetry

Ideas, comments and assessments made by the researchers and critics suggest and open the way for us to continue researching and clarifying the issue that Kinh Bac culture is the original aesthetic

Chapter 1 SOME THEORETICAL ISSUES ON AESTHETIC REGION, CULTURAL REGION AND KINH BAC CULTURAL REGION

1.1 Opinion about aesthetic region in cultural works

In artistic works, of which, cultural ones, authors often have a certain “region of creation” to take poetry materials and topics for their inspirations

Each author has his/her own familiar and favorable system of

topics which can be called “region of aesthetic objects” (Nguyen Dang

Manh) That aesthetic region bolds impressions of the creator to create special poetry style and private artistic thoughts for the poet When mentioning the aesthetic region in cultural works, country should be mentioned in the first position The country is the place where there are nature, culture and people with spectacular impressions, unique and unmixed beauty that cannot be mixed with that of the other region Rivers and mountains of the country not only create beauties but also tap the supernatural atmosphere of land Over thousands of generations, land and people are tangled, fight against the nature violently to create incessant changing life The country has cultural resource and invaluable humanity Many generations and life have devoted sweat, bone and blood

to maintain, protect and develop the country to continue people‟s life Nevertheless, not all of authors have their own aesthetic regions Value of the aesthetic region is only developed when the author combines his/her blood and meat with the country or has a distinct aesthetic emotion to write his/her characteristic works When the work appears, it must indicate poetry topics that are both familiar and new based on the poetry materials available in that country such

as images, scenes, events, phenomena, people and relations with basic and crucial cultural elements that have been existing in that country Thereby, these materials contribute to creating the world of rich, diversified and lively artistic images in the work Since then,

artistic images are formed and held the cultural life of the writer in a profound manner; thereby, artistic thoughts of the writer are formed and developed That is private space or aesthetic region in the literature work

1.2 Relationship between cultural region and aesthetic region in literature work

1.2.1 Opinion about cultural region

Cultural region can be understood as a cultural entity including distinct characters and colors other regions do not have or have but these characters and colors are not typical Regional cultural characters are represented in the object and non-object culture, economic fields (farming rice field or milpa, cultivating or dispossessing, inheriting available assets of the nature), material culture (house, costumes, jewelries, means of travelling), social culture (cycles in a person‟s life: marriage, birth giving, funeral, way

of living), spiritual culture (faith, festival, folk culture, community activities), etc

1.2.2 Opinion about regional cultural characters

Regional cultural character is a concept that is characteristic for unique characters of each region under the unity of one source creating general cultural characters Accordingly, regional cultural character makes basic contribution to creating diversity for the national culture picture Regional culture shows differences, origins, even eccentrics of tourism culture and general culture that give prominence to original heritages of each region Simultaneously, regional culture shows differences of the characters in customs, practices, rites, languages, etc Ethnic culture follows geographical space in a certain region

1.2.3 Relationship between cultural region and aesthetic region in the writer’s works

Cultural region and aesthetic region affect directly creative thought of the artist Literature represents culture and records

aesthetic values in the cultural life through images Literature is the mirror of culture Through literature, people realize culture of ethnic groups and regions Through Hoang Cam‟s poetry, people realize Kinh Bac culture and Vietnam culture

Cultural region and aesthetic region are closely related Therefore,

if cultural region and aesthetic region dominates activities and developments of literature; vice versa, literature also affects culture and aesthetics on the whole structure, or through its other components The national leading writers are also great and typical culturists

Accessing to cultural region and aesthetic region through literature in its nature means putting literature in cultural space with its characters Cultural region has been integrated into the world of artistic creation and throughts of the author That is osmosis into each image, details of word, tone and artistic images This osmosis is transmitted in accordance with two orietations of synchrony and chronology On one side, values originated from the traditional culture integrate into the world of images and words of the work that the creator cannot cognize self-consciously On the other hand, newly established cultural and aesthetic values incessantly seduce, appeal to, challenge and request the writer to answer, directly or indirectly, through artistic languages in their works For talents, these two ways of osmosis are mixed

so cleverly that it is difficult to separate them clearly

1.3 Kinh Bac culture in Kinh Bac and Hoang Cam’s poetry

1.3.1 Characteristics of Kinh Bac cultural region

Basic characteristics of Kinh Bac culture can be generalized as follows: it is the land of Kingdom of festivals; it is the land of legends and myths; it is the country of traditional villages of smiling and country of folk song culture; it is the native place of buddhism; it

is the country of the history of national construction and defense; it is the sacred land with extraordinary people; it is the country of land

with hundreds of occupations and food culture traditions rich in lofty civilization and humanitarian values

1.3.2 Kinh Bac culture in Kinh Bac’s poetry

Kinh Bac is the homeland of legends, myths and folk songs of the traditional village of smiling - national cultural foundations Thus, folk literature of Kinh Bac region occupies an important position in not only Kinh Bac culturedevelopment progress but also in Vietnam culture and literature

By taking a comprehensive view, we can see that in one thousand of Middle-age literature, there were many poets They considered Kinh Bac land region with thousand years of civilization

as poetry materials and topics for their works

Following and inheriting the traditional poetry from the previous centuries to the beginning of XXth century, among typical poets and writers before the August Revolution of 1945, there were many artists and poets of Kinh Bac country

In the nine years of war against France and more than twenty years

of war against America and since 1945, poetry of Kinh Bac people has created distinct appearance for Kinh Bac poetry movement in the general flow of the national literature We can mention authors of this period such

as Anh Vu, Duy Phi, Tran Ninh Ho, etc

Kinh Bac poetry and literature in the XXth century were an important landmark to affirm the literature that has had long-standing tradition, making an important contribution to the national literature in general and poetry in particular We can list some authors such as Tuong Pho, Bang Ba Lan, Nguyen Hong, Anh Tho, Hoang Cam, Bang Si Nguyen, Ngo Dat, Anh Vu, Duy Phi, etc All of these authors had great contributions to the development progress of Kinh Bac literature That was

a continuous and undisrupted flow over periods, which created distinct cultural impressions for this country of civilization
