Le Huu Trac in the State of Mental Movement of the 18th Century Scholar (05/04/2025)

Hai Thuong Lan Ong Le Huu Trac is considered a “true hermit” in the Chinese concept of hermits. Studying his transformation process from “social engagement” to “disengagement” helps us visualize more clearly the portrait of a typical intellectual in an era with many favorable factors that triggered the increase of hermit Confucian scholars. Research results have shown that Le Huu Trac did not appear in a state of intense, painful mental conflict like some others in history. He had his own path, who did not seek pleasure in wine and poetry, hated fame and fortune. He left behind a good reputation for all time as a physician of the poor, a great figure in the history of the nation. Le Huu Trac was also a writer and thinker, leaving his own identity in the history of Vietnamese literature and thought in the 18th century.
