Nước ta làm thơ phú dùng bằng tiếng Nôm. Từ ngươi Hàn Thuyên làm đầu. Vì thế đời sau làm thơ Nôm cũng gọi là Hàn luật. [Hàn] Thuyên was skilled at composing poetry and fu in our country's vernacular language, and the people of our country often imitated him. In our country, the practice of composing poetry and fu in the vernacular language began with Hàn Thuyên. For this reason, later generations also called vernacular poetry [style], the vi Hàn luật style. Derived terms vi chữ Nôm Hán Nôm tên Nôm diễn Nôm
