Associated with folk poems are simple, rustic, and deeply folkloric comparisons. The cluster of heartfelt folk poems belongs to sentimental folk poems, emerging from fates and lives filled with bitterness and sorrow, yet still overflowing with the affection of the Vietnamese commoners.
With the cluster of heartfelt folk poems, folk authors bring to readers and listeners the bitterness, misery, and bitterness of the lives of people in ancient society. They represent the lowest class of society, those suffering from oppression and coercion in a corrupt and unjust society. They may be wives whose husbands go to war, impoverished farmers, laborers, or scorned women in a male-dominated society. Despite the differences in their circumstances, they share the same fate: lowly, miserable, victims of outdated ideologies, social prejudices, and injustice. Regarding the cluster of affectionate folk poems, these are songs that reveal hidden feelings where there are beautiful, sincere, and genuine affections of laborers in ancient society.

Whether heartfelt or affectionate, the cluster of 'Heartfelt folk poems, love and affection' aims to highlight the beauty within the souls of common people, while also serving as a voice to condemn and denounce the shadowy forces of feudal regimes that trample upon the rights, humanity, and happiness of individuals. These folk poems, with their folk nuances, also exhibit artistic differences. Notable among these are the repeated opening lines of the poems, such as 'my dear,' 'you're like,'..., the use of comparisons, metaphors, personifications, always accompanied by familiar images from everyday life such as peach blossoms, bitter gourds, ginger, salt, moon, stars. Combined with a language tone close to everyday speech, simple and rustic, they bring closeness to readers, making them easy to hear, remember, and pass on to future generations.
