"The book, excluding the Foreword and the Explanation, has the main content about statitic collection and interpretation of place names in Hau Giang (from August 1708 to 26 November 2003) arranged in alphabetical order. Geographic terrain of Hau Giang province is flat, low with interlaced system of rivers and channels. Because of this reason, places were named jointly from two reasons: Firstly, named by normal people, secondly, named by state / district officials and Confucian scholars when they draw geographical map... In Hau Giang, people named places by combining natural or human made terrain and names of animals, trees, people or natural phenomenon"". (From the Summary of the book)"
