"Peck wood officer, peck at the top of the tree, peck a carp two and a half jins. My mother wants to eat, my son wants to see, and I have stayed for half a month. " This Tujia nursery rhyme vividly reproduces the nuances of daily life and is full of vivid life breath. In Tujia village, there are such crisp nursery rhymes everywhere, which can always make people feel a bright and vibrant spring.
Nursery rhymes are like a flowing spring, rippling with a lively melody, guiding and nourishing children and making their hearts flourish with lush green leaves and brilliant colors.
Parents have prepared nursery rhymes since the child was born. There was a short lullaby in infancy. "My little baby, go to sleep, don't cry, grow up, my little baby", accompanied by guttural sounds and nasal sounds like "yo-yo". The crying child will fall asleep slowly in this deep voice and this gentle spring breeze. When children babble, they will put in new content.
In order to let children know shame from an early age, adults will teach children to "fly insects": "hit the board, tease insects, fly insects, and fly to Gail (grandpa). Gail didn't chase the dog, but bit the worm's hand; Gail doesn't kill chickens, and bugs don't go back; Gail doesn't beat eggs, and bugs don't eat them; Gail doesn't kill geese, and insects don't cross the river. " Tujia people call their children cheap and "bugs". While singing, teach children to do the action of insects flying hand in hand. After singing, I will point my finger at the child's left and right faces and shave his nose. "Ugly here and ugly there, scraping lard on the nose." It means delicious food is humiliating, but insects can't do it.
Diligence is the foundation of being a man and the traditional virtue of Tujia nationality. "Look at the old at three, and look at the old at eight." Adults will teach some hard-working nursery rhymes. "Selling Tofu" said: "A bean is round. If it is pushed into tofu, it will be sold into money. People say that my business is small and small businesses make big money. " In order to let children know how to get close from an early age, teach them to "push the mill": "The mill can't turn around, and it's white." Push Baba, then Gaga, Gaga doesn't eat the sour Baba of the doll; Push tofu, pick up uncle, uncle doesn't eat sour tofu of dolls; Push slag to receive menstruation. Don't eat the sour residue of dolls during menstruation ... "
One summer night, the family came out to enjoy the moon, and a firefly flew in with a torch. The mother will test the child's memory by asking and answering questions: "Night Firebug, come every night, Gapo will pick you up for tea. What kind of tea? Bean tea. What beans? Soybean. What yellow? Cinnabar yellow ... "
Before you know it, the children will grow up, and you can also go out of the diaojiao building and yard and play in the place where the children are concentrated. On nights with stars and the moon, children often play until midnight. They play games while singing.
Many children sat in a long row on the floor, and one child handed out imaginary fruit. The children sang together: "Sit in a row and eat fruit, one for you, one for me and one for my sleeping sister." Children know in the game that when they have delicious food, they must think of others who are not present.
If there are only a few children, you can practice counting by playing songs and games like "12345". The children read "12345, go up the mountain and shoot tigers." The tiger missed and hit the squirrel. How many squirrels are there? Let me count. "I counted it with my fingers. More ballads and games are descriptions and representations of production and life scenes.
For example, on the hillside, imitating the peasants' "Jin Yan School", the children lined up in two rows hand in hand from high to low, and sang together "golden swallow School, Silver Swallow School and Suona Suona with sandals. Gold goes uphill, silver goes uphill, and Yan Er Yan Er on the steep slope. After singing, two people in the back row will hold their hands high to form a door for children to cross from one end to the other and capture a scene when climbing the mountain.
For example, "Big Moon, Little Moon", which describes Tujia people's early labor, says: "Big Moon, Little Moon, my brother gets up to be a craftsman, my sister-in-law gets up to be sticky rice, and my mother-in-law gets up to be a dustpan." "Sugarcane stalk" reflects the scene of marrying a woman: "Sugarcane stalk is sweet. Flower sedan chair, delivered to the door. Dad cried three times to lift the sedan chair, mother cried three times to lock the sedan chair door, brother cried to kiss his sister, and sister-in-law cried. " In a few words, outline the true state of life. Children are close to the picture of production and life in songs and games, and their physiology and psychology are gradually mature.
And pure humorous nursery rhymes. There are well-meaning jokes about people, such as "Girl Monster": "Girl Monster, hit sandals. Call today and sell tomorrow. Can't sell it, throw it in the river "; "Huang Gui pees": "When you cry and laugh, Huang Gui pees. Hit two pig urine bubbles and pick up the gallop ",which is a mockery of the strange and changeable expression." "There is also a part, which is subversion, that is, deliberately going against common sense of life and turning it upside down to achieve the purpose of adding interest.
For example, "Catch a thief": "On the fifteenth night of the big moon, robbers came out to steal rice soup. The deaf heard footsteps, the blind saw him enter the kitchen, the dumb shouted for help, and the lame crossed the wall and grabbed his hair with his broken hand. It turned out to be a monk. " Another example is "Lie": "Longevity, rolling uphill, three-year-old children can sing. When I went there, I saw sheep laying eggs, and when I came back, I saw horses with horns. The fish in the stinger gives birth to seeds, the birds on the beach are stirred to nest, four or two pieces of cotton sink into the water, and a pair of stone mills swim across the river. " This kind of nursery rhyme gives people a brand-new sense of relaxation. They don't need to be accompanied by actions, they are just passed on from mouth to mouth, and they don't need a specific occasion.
In this way, nursery rhymes accompany the children, giving them the initial enlightenment with their own historical, cultural, scientific and technological information and national spirit through ingenious, lively, funny, warm and unique forms: enlightening their hearts, broadening their horizons, training their expression, cultivating their emotions, making them laugh and laugh in audio-visual, audio-visual and spiritual life, and making their years and hearts like songs.
