An indirect introduction example is provided, starting with a quote about Hue's beauty.

The speaker provides an example of an indirect introduction. It begins with a poetic description of Hue's charm and its associated imagery, like the Huong River. It emphasizes how the river, always associated with Hue, has captivated many, leading to the question posed by the work's title. Hoang Phu Ngoc Tuong's essay, rich in intellect and lyrical narrative, answers this question. The introduction concludes by directly addressing the essay's objectives: analyzing the Huong River's beauty in the city's outskirts and the lyrical quality of Hoang Phu Ngoc Tuong's writing.

The first body paragraph should briefly introduce Hoang Phu Ngoc Tuong, highlighting his specialization in ký (essays/reportage) and his unique blend of intellect and lyricism, along with rich knowledge across various fields. The work "Ai đã đặt tên cho dòng sông?", published in 1981, is mentioned as one of his masterpieces, located at the beginning of the journey where the Huong River emerges from the primeval forest into the dreamy plains and villages outside Hue.

This section delves into the detailed analysis of the Huong River's beauty as it flows through the outskirts of Hue. Hoang Phu Ngoc Tuong describes the river with a passionate and romantic perspective, portraying its journey towards Hue as a conscious quest, like a princess in a fairy tale. The river is likened to a beautiful girl sleeping in a field, awakened by her lover, Hue. This personification emphasizes the river's poetic beauty and vibrant life, symbolizing lovers reuniting.

The river's winding path when awake is described with continuous turns, sudden curves, and a perfect circular arc embracing Thien Mu Hill. This movement suggests the river's persistent search and anticipation for its 'lover' (Hue), similar to a tale of enduring love and pursuit. The comparison is made to Nguyen Tuan's depiction of the Da River, noting the Huong River's more diverse and changing colors throughout the day, embodying grace and anticipation before meeting Hue.

The Huong River's colors change throughout the day—green in the morning, yellow at noon, purple in the evening—reflecting its delicate and alluring nature. Unlike the Da River, which changes colors seasonally, the Huong River's daily transformations enhance its unique charm, embodying a graceful, shy beauty. It is described as a work of art, a philosophical beauty with a hint of ancient poetry, awakening to the sound of temple bells at Thien Mu pagoda and distant village rooster crows, painting a dreamy landscape of the ancient capital.

This section discusses the lyrical quality of Hoang Phu Ngoc Tuong's writing, supported by his extensive knowledge and delicate sensitivity. He discovers new, beautiful facets of the familiar Huong River through rich imagination and diverse perspectives. His language is poetic and evocative, utilizing literary devices like personification, comparison, and metaphor. The harmonious blend of emotion and intellect, subjectivity and objectivity, along with his elegant and captivating writing style, imbues his essays with profound lyrical depth.

The conclusion summarizes that the analyzed excerpt reveals the poetic and lyrical beauty of the Huong River in the outskirts of Hue. Hoang Phu Ngoc Tuong transforms the river into a graceful, charming, and captivating painting, like a dream lover. This imagery evokes a strong desire in readers to visit the poetic Huong River in Hue, recognizing it as a natural masterpiece skillfully portrayed by the talented author.
