At the opening ceremony, Associate Professor Dr. Le Thi Ngoc Diep - Chairman of the Council of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (VNU-HCM) said: "Each set of traditional costumes not only reflects weaving techniques and aesthetic thinking, but also embodies social conventions, spirit and ethnic identity. Restoring and introducing traditional costumes helps today's young generation understand more deeply the spiritual heritage left by their ancestors. According to the Organizing Committee, nam dien with the word dien in dien nhan, is inspired by the way of calling men's clothing in the early 20th century.

In Vietnamese costume, "truc linh" (straight collar) is the general name for most of the styles of the Later Le Dynasty. This term often appears in historical and cultural documents from the 17th - 18th centuries. The shirt on display is recreated based on the famous Japanese painting Van Quoc Nhan Chuat Do. During this period, both Vietnamese men and women often kept their hair long, loose and barefoot.
Ao Nhat Binh is a traditional Vietnamese costume for women of the royal family and wives of high-ranking officials during the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945). This was a ceremonial dress used on important occasions. The Crown Prince's Ao Chen, also known as the five-panel/five-panel dress, is the predecessor of today's modern Ao Dai. This was a popular costume used by Vietnamese people throughout the country during the Nguyen Dynasty.
Ao tac, also known as ao thong, ao loi, ao Te or ao Le, is a five-panel shirt similar to ao Chen but the sleeves and armpits are cut much larger, used on formal occasions or festivals by ancient Vietnamese people.
