Abstract
As an important artistic form integrating music and literature, children’s songs serve multiple functions, including aesthetic enlightenment, value guidance, and emotional expression. This paper systematically examines the artistic features of children’s song creation from the perspectives of language characteristics, structural form, and emotional expression, emphasizing that the language should be simple, rhythmic, and accessible, the structure should be compact and clear, and the content should reflect children’s daily lives and a sense of innocence. By analyzing existing issues in current practices—such as excessive commercialization, lack of professional expertise among creators, and a disconnect from child-centered perspectives—the paper proposes practical improvement strategies, including policy support, copyright protection, talent cultivation, and the integration of digital technologies. It further argues that children’s song creation should be rooted in children’s aesthetic psychology and cognitive characteristics, integrating insights from multiple disciplines to enhance artistic expression and educational value. This paper aims to provide theoretical reference and methodological support for optimizing the creative ecosystem of children’s songs and improving the quality of works, thereby promoting the sustainable development of children’s musical culture.
