  The purpose of this paper is to introduce the main scientific results made by
the one-meter New Vacuum Solar Telescope (NVST), which was put into commission
on 2010. NVST is one of the large aperture solar telescopes in the world,
located on the shore of Fuxian lake of Yunnan province in China, aiming at
serving solar physicists by providing them with high resolution photospheric
and chromospheric observational data. Based on the data from NVST and
complementary observations from space (e.g., Hinode, SDO and IRIS, etc), dozens
of scientific papers have been published with a wide range of topics
concentrating mainly on dynamics and activities of fine-scale magnetic
structures and their roles in the eruptions of active-region filaments and
flares. The achievements include dynamic characteristics of photospheric bright
points, umbral dots, penumbral waves, and sunspot/light bridge oscillation,
observational evidence of small-scale magnetic reconnection, and fine-scale
dynamic structure of prominences. All these new results will shed light on the
better understanding of solar eruptive activities. Data release, observation
proposals, and future research subjects are introduced and discussed.
