11. Summary of the new findings of the thesis:

- The thesis has conducted research and presented the basic theoretical frameworks for symbolism and artistic symbols.

- On the basis of research and analysis, the thesis has expressed some remarks and viewpoints on the origins of the symbols in Vietnamese poetry in the period 1930-1945. In particular, it has focused on analyzing social origins and differences in psychological roots, the aesthetic conceptions in the process of the birth of symbolic systems in romantic poetry (New poetry) and Revolutionary poetry.

- The thesis is the first research work which proposed and surveyed the artistic symbols in New poetry in the 1932-1945 period as well as those in Revolutionary poetry in the 1930-1945 era (through representative authors and works) in a systematic and comprehensive way.

- The results of the thesis have clarified the values of typical artistic symbols in Vietnamese poetry between 1930 and 1945, which helps to contribute to a comprehensive and profound assessment of artistic thinking and poetic characteristics of poetry trends; thus affirming the unique ideological, aesthetic and creative values of the distinctive poets in this period.
