The content of nursery rhymes:
There are three benchmarks for the selection of the content of nursery rhymes:
1. The content of nursery rhymes is close to life and nature, and the content is shallow and simple.
Nursery rhymes enter children's lives with their mothers' chants beside the cradle of their babies. As children grow older, they learn to chant nursery rhymes from perception to imitation, and they gain aesthetic enjoyment from them.
Nursery rhymes are often very simple and easy for young children to understand, or they simply focus on describing and recounting events, or they show common sense in simple and interesting rhymes.
For example, the nursery rhyme "Ragdoll," by Sheng Ye, says, "Ragdoll, disobedient, feed her, won't open her mouth." In its innocence and childishness, it expresses young children's imitation of and reflection on the life around them.
At the same time, when the children sing this nursery rhyme, they are immediately reminded of their own meals, and understand that they should develop good habits.
2. The content of the nursery rhyme is rich in imagination and interest; the whole piece is short and well structured.
The children's knowledge of the things around them is still relatively simple, and limited to oral tradition, therefore, nursery rhymes should be short and compact, and the structure should be simple but not complicated.
Common nursery rhymes are usually only four, six or eight sentences long, but there are also longer ones. In terms of the number of words each sentence is composed of, there are three words, four words, five words, seven words, and miscellaneous words. Three-character sentences, five-character sentences, and seven-character sentences are the basic sentence forms.
Short and simple, they are naturally easy to learn and sing. For example, Quan Shu's "Little Frog": "Little frog, croaking, catching pests, protecting crops, we all love it!"
Only 19 words, both depicting a picture of a frog chirping in the field, and telling children a common sense, short, simple, easy to recite and easy to remember.
3. The language of the nursery rhyme is lively, rich in rhyme and catchy.
The dissemination of nursery rhymes is to a large extent realized through the way of play, so it is required that their works are suitable for chanting and singing, and can be matched with the process of play, and must present distinctive musicality and sense of rhythm.
Children are very active and are at the stage of learning language and improving their language expression ability. Nursery rhymes with a sense of music, clear rhythm and lively language can arouse the children's sense of beauty and pleasure, and stimulate their motivation to learn language.
Therefore, both traditional and creative nursery rhymes, as well as nursery rhymes of any ethnic group in the world, are characterized by rhyming, fast-paced and easy-to-sing, and lively language.
