The special feature of the book lies in the author's choice of a popular historical narrative style, not too academic, not dry but still ensuring the reliability of historical events and figures.

Part I: Famous people's marks: Highlight the highlights and special features in the lives and careers of some famous Vietnamese people.

Part II: In the harem: Introducing some secret stories of the harem of ancient dynasties.

Part IV: The ancients were full of things: Introduce some interesting or little-known stories in history. The stories more or less contain necessary information to understand some aspects of the country's history, or contain useful messages or lessons that the ancients wanted to convey to future generations.

Each story in the book is like a sharp slice of ancient and medieval Vietnamese history, from the imprints in the lives of famous people, to the secrets of the harem, strange events, mysterious cases or the strategic behavior of the ancients.

The articles do not stop at retelling, but also suggest critical thinking, analyze historical context, thereby helping readers understand more deeply about the times and people of historical periods.

From a historical perspective, many articles in Discover Vietnamese history Acts as general research papers, although not going too deep into academics, still ensures accuracy, guided by authentic, verified documents.

What makes the appeal of Discover Vietnamese history is a simple, emotional writing style, close to a wide range of readers, especially young people, who often assume that history is only for the classroom or scholars. Many stories in the book make readers feel like they are reading a novel, while being equipped with more knowledge, evoking pride and a better understanding of their origins.
