A large number of people and audiences participated in the poetry game at the program.

Under the spring rain, in the ancient space of Truong Sanh Palace, the performances at the Nguyen Tieu poetry night were conveyed by artists and actors of Hue Royal Traditional Arts Theater and Hue Opera Theater through the forms of recitation, song performance, dramatization, etc., giving life to the poetry and making it more emotional, bringing profound moments to poetry lovers.

Coming to the program, the audience also got to immerse themselves in the poetry game in ancient Hue. Poetry (also known as poetry playing) was originally an elegant hobby of the Confucian scholars and aristocrats in the ancient capital of Hue. This is a hobby that shows off knowledge and intelligence. The "dealer" must have enough knowledge and poetic talent to hope to win; the participants must also have enough knowledge and literary talent to hope not to lose. It is truly a mind-boggling battle, and those with little knowledge of literature will hardly have the opportunity to participate.
