Childhood tunes

The content of the little songs I sang as a child is mostly related to summer.

Grandma's fan shook, the children blinked their eyes and had sleepiness, without the child's request, Grandma moved out the little song that had been chanted countless times: "So cool, so cool, soybean rice is pickles; so hot, so hot, soybean rice is tofu." "There is a magic of small songs, that is, no matter how they listen, they are not tired, and now it seems that in addition to the reason why it is easy to understand, it is also that the content has a breath of life and is not empty, in fact, they are also a popular little poem, rhymed, and it is catchy to read.

The content of the small song involves all aspects of life, almost every scene can be found in the small song, the child sits on the small bench, begging the grandmother to tell a small song, the grandmother does not have to use her brain to watch the small bench open mouth and come: "The bench is stacked, the brother lives in it, the brother comes out to buy vegetables, there is grandma, the grandmother comes out to burn incense, the girl lives in the girl, the girl comes out to kowtow, the weasel lives in it, the weasel comes out to pull the chicken, the inside lives with the fish, the fish come out to lay eggs, crackle, two halves, you half, half, Leave half to cook the rice, do not make it, light the lamp, can't light, and your mother-in-law's old white hair. "Such a small song is a little longer, but the children can memorize it, it is difficult to memorize it, one sentence pushes out, in line with the children's innate like to be funny psychology, the creatures and characters involved in the content are also familiar, and the life scene of the kerosene lamp era is very similar, when the more noble small bench is blocked by a thin board between the four legs, and the curious child will feel that the hollow bench is really mysterious.

Children do not nap, the big noon will run to the south bridge of the village to play, grandma is distressed that the child is tired, or want to let the child rest, but also use the way of telling small songs to let the children quiet for a while, the child sits cross-legged on the ground, Grandma said: What do you want to listen to? The child saw the poplar leaves rattling, but also did not need to use his brain to want to tell a poplar leaf song, grandma did not have to think, open the mouth to come: Yang Gaga leaf, drifting in the water, who and the sister as tall? My sister and I are generally tall. My sister rode a big red horse, I rode a tree branch, my sister wore a gold pendant, I wore a wheat ear, my sister held a golden doll, I held a toad, threw it into the well and it didn't die, and it was thrown into the river and it grunted.

In the old days, there were many children, and people also had a traditional sense of son preference, like this song sounds very novel, although there is a small frustration of "I", but more for the sister to get the care of adults and feel happy.

A small song can be handed down, there are positive energy and fun in it, like this song at dawn: "More more, the sky is clear, the rats have gone to the shed, the birds have eaten rice, the eldest sister and the second sister should get up, the eldest sister gets up to sweep the yard, the second sister gets up to turn the wire, the third sister gets up to roll the face, who comes, Brother-in-law Zhang, with a glance of red horse paste, I said to cut it for him, he left it home to paste the window." In the small song, a peasant early morning courtyard painting jumped on the paper, watching how diligent the children were, silently doing what they should do, the sudden turn in the plain, the atmosphere became lively, it was Zhang brother-in-law who came, Zhang brother-in-law must have gotten up early, even his face did not care to wash, the corners of his eyes were still with eye, as soon as he entered the door, he joked, which was inconsistent with the old days when relatives and friends met each other, and this expression was closer to the nature of people who liked to meet and lively, and was close to the frank and frank nature of life.

The little song is written more at night, "Stars, carrying a basket of burnt bread, where are you going?" I went to see my father-in-law. What kind of food did you eat? Drink cold water, distilled ice. Have you had enough to eat? After eating a lot, I was hungry and my waist hurt. "The summer night is full of stars, when you rest in the room, it is the most suitable to talk about such a small song, and there is a cool feeling in the mouth, and there is a very filial daughter-in-law in the small song, there is a very funny dialogue, it sounds so humorous."

There are many scenes of walking relatives in small songs, there are songs and whips, like this little song criticizes the sister-in-law's ignorance: Tsubaki tree tsubaki, locust tree locust, under the locust tree to play the veranda, people's girlfriends are coming, the girl is not coming, the girl is not coming, the glance is not coming, the glance is not coming, the look is not coming, the donkey is coming, holding the whip, wearing small shoes with the tip, the father sees the baggage, the sister-in-law sees the twist, you twist, you look, I come the same day to go, do not eat your meal, do not drink your wine.

From the small song, you can see how much the parents miss the girlfriend who marries out, and the sister-in-law who does not understand things is different, seeing the twist to show that it is not welcome, the girlfriend does not have to go down three or four ah, riding a donkey, from the dress can also see that the life in the in-laws' family is very good, since it is not welcome, it is reassuring to see that the parents are safe. Thinking about Xiaoqu'er is very educational, if someone who happens to have the psychology of a sister-in-law reads it, he will definitely blush.

"Pull saw, pull saw, grandmother door ah sing a big drama, call who to go, tell me to go, when you go there is nothing to take, there is a big watermelon in the door guy, open, red, black seed, pluck pull little Nell." Even if you don't go out, adults and children don't feel bored talking about small songs on the kang, holding the child's hand, interacting like a tug-of-war, and the child smiles happily. When I was very young, my grandmother's family planted a simple heart with the image of poetry and far away, and the "I" in the small song was mostly expressed in "Li", which was really simple, no need to carve, no need to disguise, showing the original life. When there are more children, the adults interact with the children with other small songs: "Plate, plate, plate foot year, foot year, mooncake flower, two hundred and eight, a group of little Nell are curled up." "The children sat cross-legged in a circle, their little hands clapping on their little feet, and they were extremely happy in the shouts of milk, and some of them only rhymed with their feet, and there was no content, and the children also liked it, inexplicably.

There are fruits in the little song: "Little Vine, is a red mile"; there are vegetables: "Small cabbage, yellow in the heart"; there are small animals: "Little white chicken, lying in the nest"... When they are young, children grow up in the atmosphere of memorizing small songs, they may not memorize ancient poems, but which small song is not a poem, it teaches children what kind of people to be, teaches children to feel life in small songs, imagines and yearns in small songs, and learns kindness and compassion in small songs.
