Research Outline
I am researching political history, including the bureaucracy, military system, and imperial examination system, as well as land development and a wide range of issues related to land ownership in the Le Dynasty (Vietnam) (15th–18th centuries). Further, I perform analyses using collected historical materials pertaining to this field to understand the era more comprehensively.
