From April 22 to 27, 2025, Văn Miếu – Quốc Tử Giám, the thousand-year-old symbol of Vietnamese education, will host a unique cultural experience titled "A Night As a Scholar." Samsung Vietnam organizes the event as part of its "Galaxy AI Understands Vietnamese – Honoring Vietnamese Knowledge" campaign. It marks a significant step forward in harmoniously blending cultural heritage with modern technology.
A Journey Back in Time: A Night As a Scholar
Open daily from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, the program invites visitors on a time-traveling journey to relive the scholarly atmosphere of ancient imperial examinations. Through immersive lighting design and cutting-edge technology, Văn Miếu – Quốc Tử Giám is transformed into a majestic examination hall of the past, where young scholars in traditional attire embark on a path of learning, self-cultivation, and national service.
The immersive journey is divided into five main thematic zones, each representing a stage in the traditional Confucian scholar's path of study and examination: 𝐄𝐧𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 – 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 – 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 – 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 – 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞. Each zone is vividly designed to recreate the era's spirit, blending traditional elements with modern technology such as 3D mapping projections, augmented reality (AR), and intelligent interactions powered by Galaxy AI – the latest artificial intelligence technology featured in the Galaxy S25 series.
In the "Enrollment" zone, visitors will witness the sacred image of the "nghê chầu phượng múa" through light projection technology, beginning an inspiring intellectual journey. Moving into the "Entering the Doctrine" space, the core values of Confucian teachings are brought to life through the story of Chu Văn An – the exemplary teacher of all time – and Emperor Lê Thánh Tông, the wise ruler who erected the Doctoral Steles to honor brilliant scholars. In the "Discourse on the Doctrine" and "Examination" zones, visitors will step into the shoes of scholars, attempting to answer questions in an interactive quiz format on the Galaxy phone, supported by the Galaxy AI. The journey concludes in the "Respecting the Doctrine" zone, where visitors reflect on the spirit of respecting teachers and the enduring value of knowledge.
Enrollment – The Gateway to Knowledge
"Entering the Doctrine" – A place that emphasizes the tradition of "First learn etiquette, then learn knowledge" through the story of Chu Văn An and Emperor Lê Thánh Tông – icons of Vietnam's intellectual heritage.
Visitors will also immerse themselves in the atmosphere of ancient classrooms, where the foundational lesson of "Human nature is inherently good" is taught, as well as the works of Vietnam's great scholars.
"Discourse on the Doctrine" – Understanding to Appreciate Vietnamese Knowledge. With the Galaxy S25 Series, learners will transform into the scholars of Quốc Tử Giám, engaging in nightly discussions on the works of great sages beneath the Khuê Văn Pavilion, "where beauty meets culture."
In the "Examinations" section, scholars test their skills with a creative exam on "Marking Personal Identity and Vietnamese Heritage in the Modern Era."
At the end of the journey, the "Respecting the Doctrine" area honors the lifelong spirit of learning, connecting the educational values of Vietnam and Korea through the famous quotes selected by Galaxy AI.
Galaxy AI – The Bridge Between Technology and Culture
A key highlight of this event is the use of Galaxy AI, Samsung's advanced language artificial intelligence capable of understanding Vietnamese with exceptional proficiency. This technology serves as an intelligent interaction tool and helps inspire a spirit of learning, encouraging young people to engage with traditional culture in a modern, accessible way.
Mr. Lê Xuân Trường, Director of Marketing and Communications for Samsung Vina's Mobile Experience Division, shared:
"We believe that technology is not only a tool to enhance the quality of life but can also serve as a bridge connecting the younger generation with the roots of our cultural heritage. Through the experience at Văn Miếu – Quốc Tử Giám, Galaxy AI users will immerse themselves in a vibrant heritage space, where tradition and technology go hand in hand, elevating the value of Vietnamese knowledge."
The event "A Night As a Scholar" is an opportunity to experience cutting-edge technology within a traditional cultural space and a chance for the younger generation to explore the profound spirit of imperial examinations, ethics, and education. These values have shaped the cultural identity of Vietnam. In this sacred space, the ancient journey of knowledge is vividly recreated, evoking a sense of pride and awakening a love for national culture in each individual.
