Abstract
In the nation's history, for various reasons, Vietnam has formed diplomatic relations with countries in the region, especially with China, then with Japan and Chosen (Korea); By the 19th century, this relationship was expanded in space with countries in Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Singapore), then the West (France), thereby forming the line of diplomatic literature, in which there is a mission poem (poetry of a mission), whose authors are Vietnamese emissaries. Therefore, the path of porcelain became the path of poetry.
On the basis of existing documents, this article will present a full appearance of the Nguyen Dynasty's mission poetry, thereby highlighting some of its values.
