Abstract: Nguyen Trai (1380 – 1442) was a great thinker of Vietnam in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries. His thought was formed and developed in the tumultuous historical period of Dai Viet society with the task of defeating the invading Ming invaders, protecting national independence and territorial integrity. Besides, his thought is also the inheritance and fusion of Vietnamese social traditions with the philosophy of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. In which, Confucianism is the theoretical foundation of Nguyen Trai. Nguyen Trai inherited and renewed the theories of traditional Confucianism to suit the social reality at that time, in order to carry out the task of saving the country and the people. Today, the contents of Confucianism inherited and transformed by him still have certain values in the cause of building Vietnam today.
