戰後最早主張用母語寫詩嘅係林宗源，接住向陽亦於1976年開始用臺灣話寫詩。進入1980年代初期就有宋澤萊、林央敏、黃勁連、陳明仁、胡民祥等人加入。1987年解嚴，隨住政治符咒解除，社會內部隱藏嘅文化動能開始爆發，臺語文學作品開始如雨後春筍噉大量出現，文類亦由初期嘅詩開始向小說、散文、戲劇開拓，文學技巧亦更見提升，主題亦更趨多元。1980年代後期之後陸續有更多作家投入臺語文創作嘅行列，好似陳雷、李勤岸、莊柏林、路寒袖、方耀乾等。
After the war, Lin Zongyuan was the first to advocate writing poetry in his mother tongue, and then Xiang Yang began to write poetry in Taiwan in 1976. In the early 1980s, Song Zelai, Lin Yangmin, Huang Jinlian, Chen Mingren, Hu Minxiang and others joined. After the lifting of martial law in 1987, with the lifting of political spells, the hidden cultural momentum within society began to explode, and Taiwanese literary works began to appear in large numbers. Since the late 1980s, more writers have devoted themselves to Taiwanese language creation, such as Chen Lei, Li Qin'an, Zhuang Bolin, Lu Hanchong, Fang Yaoqian, etc.
