1. Reflections on the Excerpt 'Entering Trịnh Lord's Court' from Chronicles of the Upper Realm, Sample 1:

Lê Hữu Trác, a versatile physician and a gifted writer, despite having spent some time practicing martial arts, eventually realized that 'beyond sharpening words for eloquence and swords for sharpness, one must dedicate all energy to healing others.' Hence, he delved deeply into medical research, leaving behind numerous valuable works for future generations, among which 'Chronicles of the Upper Realm' stands out prominently. In 'Chronicles of the Upper Realm', the author vividly and realistically recounts his own impressions of what he heard and saw at Trịnh Lord's Court. It can be said that the excerpt 'Entering Trịnh Lord's Court' significantly contributes to showcasing the value of this literary work.

The excerpt 'Entering Trịnh Lord's Court' vividly retells the authentic and lively account of Lê Hữu Trác's visit to Trịnh Lord's Court to treat Prince Cán.

First and foremost, the author depicted, in a truthful and meticulous manner, the luxurious and extravagant scene at Trịnh Lord's Court. It can be said that the scenery at Trịnh Lord's Court was described step by step, from outside to inside, from afar to near, thereby evoking in the reader a comprehensive view of the space and scenery at the lord's court. Revisit the author's descriptions of the scenery outside the entrance to the lord's court to fully appreciate the grandeur of this place: 'We entered through the back gate of the court. The guide led me through several gateways, along the left side. I looked up: everywhere was lush foliage, birds chirping, colorful flowers, and a faint fragrance wafting in the air. The winding corridors were interconnected. The doorkeepers were lively, and the court officials were busy. The palace guards were stationed at the court gate, and anyone who wanted to enter or exit had to have a pass.' Yes, with just these details, it is enough for us to see the grandeur and hustle and bustle, yet also the solemnity and formality at Trịnh Lord's Court. But it doesn't stop there; the scenery at Trịnh Lord's Court is further described in detail as we step deeper inside, with the magnificent and luxurious scenes, unparalleled anywhere else: the 'Great Hall,' the 'Royal Antechamber,' the 'vermilion-lacquered sedan chair,' the 'silk curtains,' the 'gold-embroidered silken bed,' and 'the utensils, never before seen.' The guest utensils were all 'golden trays, silver cups.' Particularly, to reach the prince's inner chamber, one had to pass through five or six layers of silk, in a room with golden beds, dragon chairs..., 'sparkling, with the scent of flowers'...

Simultaneously, the excerpt also describes the activities at Trịnh Lord's Court with ceremonies and formalities. The ceremonies and formalities in the court's lifestyle are first reflected through the manner of speaking, the addressing language when mentioning the lord and the prince must always be respectful and formal: The royal highness is there, not yet to be seen, waiting for the prince's pulse, serving the prince tea, tea room (where the prince drinks medicine). At the same time, the solemnity in lifestyle is indirectly expressed through the author's attitude when in the inner chamber, having to 'stand quietly waiting from afar,' 'bowing before approaching to check the pulse' and especially through the author's description of the scene of examining the prince's illness: 'A court official stood by and asked for the prince's permission. The prince stood up, took off his robe, and stood by the bed for me to see. I carefully examined his back, abdomen, arms, and legs. The attendant then conveyed the order for me to bow in respect before leaving. I stood up and bowed four times.' Surely, with just a few details like that, it is enough for us to fully appreciate the majesty of Lord Trịnh and the prince, along with the respectful and formal attitude in the court's lifestyle of the people living and working at the lord's court.

Thus, the excerpt 'Entering Trịnh Lord's Court' has described, in a detailed, meticulous, and truthful manner, the scenery and lifestyle at Trịnh Lord's Court, and then hidden behind it helps us to recognize the beauty of the soul and the noble character of Lê Hữu Trác. He was an ordinary person, not pursuing fame, fortune, or luxury at the lord's court. Instead, he emerged as a doctor with a compassionate heart, deep knowledge, and rich experience.

In conclusion, with its meticulous and truthful description, the interweaving of narration and description, between personal narrative and sincerity, the excerpt 'Entering Trịnh Lord's Court' has vividly depicted a luxurious life, nobility at Trịnh Lord's Court, while also helping us to see the talent, the beauty of soul, and the noble character of the esteemed Lê Hữu Trác.

Stepping into the work 'Entering Trịnh Lord's Court' takes readers to a different world, witnessing a life in heaven that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
