Phan Huy Ích

Phan Huy Ích (1751–1822) was a Vietnamese poet, scholar, and court official whose career crossed the Lê, Tây Sơn, and Nguyễn periods. Writing under the literary name Dụ Am, he produced poetry, prose, and historical works, including Dụ am văn tập and Nam trình tạp vịnh. He also served as a Tây Sơn envoy to Qing China in 1790, an experience reflected in his travel poetry.
