Although Chinese characters can provide a relatively elegant expression for the upper class in Vietnam, for the Vietnamese people, Chinese characters cannot fully express their local culture and language. Therefore, Vietnam * * * began to seek a writing system that can better express the local culture of Vietnam.

With the independence and development of Vietnam, Vietnamese began to seek a writing system that could represent their own country. As the representative of China culture, Chinese characters are no longer suitable for Vietnamese national consciousness and development needs. Therefore, Vietnam began to gradually abandon Chinese characters and finally adopted a writing system based on Latin letters.
