In the process of the renewal of Vietnamese literature after 1986, children’s literature has increasingly attracted scholarly attention not only in terms of content but also with regard to artistic language. Numerous studies have regarded artistic language as a crucial factor contributing to both the aesthetic value and the educational function of literary works written for children. Based on a synthesis of representative studies, this article aims to generalize the prominent characteristics of artistic language in Vietnamese children’s literature during the period from 1986 to 2025. The discussion is structured around three main aspects: concise, clear, and accessible language; language rich in expressive power; and language imbued with poetic qualities. Through this approach, the article seeks to systematize existing research perspectives and to clarify the aesthetic value of artistic language in contemporary Vietnamese children’s literature.
