Reflections on reading "Folk Custom Guangshan" (3)

During this period, I read "Language, Literature and Folk Customs" in "Folk Customs Guangshan". This section collects: Guangshan dialect, proverbs, folk stories, and folk songs. Among them, the one that impressed me the most and was my favorite was Guangshan’s “Folk Ballads”.

Some of the songs collected here are familiar to me. I often heard them when I was a child, such as: "When the moon walks, I walk too. I and the moon carry baskets on their backs, baskets on the fence, and pick up." Cotton, cotton shell, prick my feet, oh huai, it hurts so much"; such as: "Pull the crutches, pull the crutches, make a steamed bun for grandma. Grandma, grandma, don't be too small, the steamed bun is ready again in the pot"...< /p>

These songs have a bright rhythm, are catchy, easy to learn and remember, and are deeply loved by the common people. The songs are divided into two categories: one is for adults to teach children to sing, and usually adults teach children certain skills through children's songs. The other type is sung by children when playing games, mainly about the rules of the game and conveying the happy mood during the game. The ballad expresses Guangshan people's yearning for a better life, and also demonstrates the wisdom of Guangshan people!

When I saw these songs, I had a lot of thoughts, and the memory gate opened, as if I had returned to decades ago:

At that time, material life was scarce, and young children had no toys to play with. , there is no TV to watch, no books to read, no games, and no care from the adults... But despite this, the children are also happy, because the adults at home will enjoy the cool weather during the off-season and summer nights. In the rainy days of my life... I would teach the children to sing these songs by word of mouth, adding some fun to the children's barren lives. These songs became the children's only spiritual comfort, and also allowed the children to sing through These songs learn about the outside world.

I was still a child at that time. When my mother was not working, I would pester her and teach me to recite songs. I remember: On summer nights, after eating and taking a bath, the villagers would sit on the back wall of my house to enjoy the cool air. At this time, my mother would sit with me on her lap and read songs to me. The songs I am familiar with were all read to me by my mother at this time. "Pull the saw, pull the arms, and pull me to my grandma's door to set up a stage. The stage collapsed and everyone in my family ran away!" My mother took my hand and made a saw-like motion while teaching me to recite the song. In the last sentence, mother She always let go on purpose, which scared me so much that I quickly fell into her arms, and my mother burst out laughing. I think this is probably the happy time the mother spends with her daughter after hard work.

After the children in the village learned the songs, they would also read and play together. When guests come to someone's house, the children will swarm to other people's houses, chanting "Clap your hands and pick up grandma. Grandma will bring a piece of oil (sugar cake). Clap your hands and pick up your uncle. Uncle will bring you a piece of oil." "Tofu, slap my hands, pick up my aunt, and my aunt will bring a piece of oily glutinous rice cake", while waiting at the door of other people's houses, trying to beg for some food brought by the visitors; during the Lantern Festival, a group of us children held lanterns and played in front of each house. , while chanting, "The moon is bright on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and a group of children are playing with dragon lanterns. They just play with other people's dragon lanterns, and my dragon lanterns just get up." This time is what children like the most and are the happiest.

Today’s children are already filled with novel toys, advanced electronic products, and dazzling games. Where can they still feel the charm of these songs, and where can they still hear these catchy songs? Woolen cloth?

How important it is to let the children of this generation experience, feel, and pass on the songs, stories, and customs of Guangshan in their own way! So, let us take action and take our children to learn about folk customs, and let Guangshan folk customs flourish in the hands of our children

Here are a few excerpts for everyone to enjoy:
