The publication has two parts. One part is the National Name of Vietnam through the ages - like a journey to remind us of the sacred name of the country throughout the centuries. The team at Nha Nam and artist Tat Sy discussed and selected the typical symbols for each period, corresponding to each national name.

For example, the National name Van Lang chose the image of King Hung and the Bronze Drum - reminiscent of the wet rice civilization; the National name Dai Nam chose the image of the Nine Urns ( Hue ) which was ordered to be cast by King Minh Mang in the winter of 1835; or the National name Dai Viet during the Ly Dynasty, the artist used the symbol of the Imperial Academy...

The second side includes three typical Declarations of Independence of Vietnam, affirming the country's sovereignty and the strength of the nation such as "Nam Quoc Son Ha" by Ly Thuong Kiet, "Binh Ngo Dai Cao" by Nguyen Trai, and "Declaration of Independence" by President Ho Chi Minh - three declarations that eternally affirm independence, freedom and national pride.

Painter Tat Sy combined the traditional pattern "Fire and Cloud" with the image of a bronze drum and a yellow star on a red background, evoking the flow from Van Lang to today's Vietnam.

The book is presented in vintage style with a touch of modernity, the colors are not too bright. The main colors used are the red of the national flag, the yellow of the 5-pointed yellow star on the flag, representing national pride, and the green of the army uniform.

The publication has a nostalgic feel but is not too old-fashioned to suit readers of many ages.

In particular, on this occasion, at the two bookstores Nha Nam To Hieu and Lotte Tay Ho in Hanoi , there are check-in booths decorated with "Station A80 - You have historical letters", so that readers can take check-in photos, receive postcards during specified hours and stamp patriotic stamps on special commemorative postcards.
