In 2021, UNESCO decided to commemorate the birth and death anniversaries of classical poet Ho Xuan Huong, demonstrating the organisation’s recognition, as well as that of the international community, of Vietnam’s cultural and ethical values, along with the traditional fondness for learning and philosophy of gender equality and liberation of women.
Ho Xuan Huong (1772-1822), whose name means “Spring Essence”, is also one of the most important poets in Vietnam’s history.
Born in the time of feudalism, which disregarded the role of women, she became renowned for her poetic skills, especially her subtly risqué poems, which used double-entendres and sexual innuendos to comment on several social, religious and political issues. A concubine, she dared to mention topics which were taboo for women at that time.
