The anthology, curated by writer Ho Anh Thai, comprises five sections. It opens with "Spring Prelude", setting the festive mood with pieces such as Nguyen Tuong Bach's "Spring Again", Nguyen Thi Minh Thai's "A Warm Vietnamese Family Meal", and Xuan Phuong's "Three Men in Traditional Attire During the Resistance".

'Tet Book Binh Ngo 2026' – an anthology of spring and Tet-themed literature, poetry, music, and art, co-published by Dong A Culture Joint Stock Company and Dan Tri Publishing House.

The Prose section features many established writers. Readers will rediscover Ma Van Khang in "Whispering Flowers Bloom", Nguyen Thi Thu Hue with "Returning to the Old Days", and Ho Anh Thai through "The Business Card Collector". Each short story offers a glimpse, reflecting a unique perspective and life experience. A fresh highlight is "Three More Months Until Spring Arrives" by young writer Vo Dang Khoa.

The Poetry section includes works by Cao Xuan Son, Quynh Hoa, and Pham Thi Ngoc Lien, with tones ranging from joyful to melancholic and poignant. Additionally, a segment of children's poetry, featuring authors Pham Anh Xuan, Duong Huy, Ho Huy Son, and Truong Quang Thu, brings a vibrant and innocent spring spirit. The poetry section concludes with Nguyen Binh's "Spring Returns" and Vo Anh Minh's "A Circle of Emotions", bridging classic spring poetry with contemporary sentiments.

Moving to the Music section, spring unfolds vividly through familiar songs, including Nguyen Nam's "Gentle Spring Colors", Hua Kim Tuyen's "Going Home", Xuan Ty's "Spring", and Thanh Tung's "Spring's Confession". These are accompanied by music reviews by author Nguyen Thi Minh Chau.

The song "Going Home" appears in the book.

The Art section introduces artist Nguyen Thanh Binh, born in the Year of the Horse, through an article by Nguyen Le Chi. In the piece, the artist emphasizes his professional philosophy: "I don't see my work as overly profound; I just view it as a 'coloring' discipline that requires patience to make it beautiful."

Illustrations are provided by artists Dang Xuan Hoa, Hoang Phuong Vy, Dao Hai Phong, Le Tri Dung, Ngo Xuan Khoi, Pham Cong Tam, Ta Huy Long, Kim Duan, Dang Hong Quan, Tat Sy, and Quyen Thai.

'Tet Book Binh Ngo 2026' is printed in color using bio-ink technology; each copy is individually numbered and comes with a matching postcard. In addition to the standard softcover edition, a limited edition is available with a hardcover, accompanied by artwork and a lacquer box.

The project, initiated in 2019, has since published eight consecutive editions.
