    Vietnamese literature is rich and varied, expressing the humor, realism, and irony of the Vietnamese people over centuries through various genres. It includes anonymous oral traditions like legends, proverbs, and songs; folk literature from the 17th-18th centuries like fables, satirical poems, and verse novels; and modern literature that shows realism and a dichotomy created by Vietnam's partition in 1954. Writers used literature to bring reform through depictions of traditional society, the 30+ years of war, and aspects of Vietnamese life.
