A long Vietnamese poem written by Nguyen Gia Thieu (1741-98). It is a double-seven-six-eight style poem that uses a mixture of Chinese characters and Chu Nom, rhymes and rhymes, and has a metered structure with two seven-line stanzas and one six-line stanza and one eight-line stanza. It consists of 356 lines. Along with Doan Thi Diem's (Duan Shi Dian) Song of the Conqueror, it is considered a representative work of double-seven-six-eight style poetry. It is a monologue that combines the lament and recollections of a concubine in the harem who has lost the emperor's favor, with a Buddhist view of the present world.
