Nursery rhymes are the earliest literary style that children come into contact with, and they are songs sung among children without music scores. Every baby born, whether in the mother's arms or in the cradle, will grow up happily with warm nursery rhymes; It can be said that nursery rhymes are the earliest enlightenment literature in one's life. Nursery rhymes are very popular with children. It is characterized by singing without musical instruments. Nursery rhymes originated very early. According to "Twenty-five Years of Zuo Gong", there were nursery rhymes in the early and early times. There were many popular nursery rhymes later. Nursery rhymes are spontaneously created by children and sung by adult professors. There are different types of nursery rhymes, and Taoist nursery rhymes are one of them. Folk songs are the beautification language that human beings try to strengthen emotional expression, such as emotion, emotion, emotion, emotion, emotion, emotion, emotion, emotion, emotion, emotion, emotion, emotion. This kind of human nature often shows different ways because of nationality, age, status and environment ... but based on language, it is universally applicable. However, it is not for children to evolve the natural rhythm of language into songs with musical structure. Therefore, whether it is spontaneous or imitation, children's ability stays at the stage of "ballad", which is called "nursery rhyme". As for adult production, music is "children's songs" (or nursery rhymes). Of course, the creators of nursery rhymes are not necessarily children. Whether it is made by adults for children or belongs to adults, it can be regarded as nursery rhymes as long as it is accepted or imitated by children or jumps between children's mouths and ears. Nursery rhymes should have five characteristics: first, the language is plain and easy to understand. Nursery rhymes are specially created for children, mainly for infants and lower grades of primary school. Because children of this age have limited cognitive ability, children's songs should naturally be simple. Please look at Hu's nursery rhyme "The Doll Grows Up": shorts,/short! ∥ shoes,/small! ∥ Mom,/laugh! ∥ doll,/long! The whole nursery rhyme, with only 16 words, is easy to understand and easy for children to understand. Second, rhyming is natural and lively. Different from other art forms, nursery rhymes attach great importance to rhythm and rhythm. This is because only by emphasizing the beauty of phonology and music can children recite fluently. For example, Jinbo's rain bell: rustling, rustling,/spring rain sprinkled on the eaves. /There are drops of water hanging on the eaves,/like a string of small bells! /Jingle Jingle .../Jingle Jingle .../It's greeting the swallow,/Come back to build a new house! Jin Bo's nursery rhyme "Rhyme to the End" gives children a feeling of musical beauty. Third, the sentence pattern is short and vivid. In China's classical nursery rhymes, three words, five words and seven words are mostly one sentence, and the syntax is mostly "Qi Yi Shi" and "Long and Short Shi". After the New Culture Movement, nursery rhymes appeared "freestyle", and the sentence patterns were more lively and diverse. So, what is "one style"? It's a whole nursery rhyme, two words and one sentence called "Er Er Shi"; In a few words, it is called "three-body"; Four words and one sentence are called "four four bodies"; Five words and one sentence are called "five five styles"; Seven words and one sentence are called "seven-seven style". So, what is "long and short"? In other words, the whole nursery rhyme is long and short in the form of "three five, five seven, three seven, three five seven". This kind of work is called "long and short style". So, what is "freestyle"? That is, the whole nursery rhyme has no fixed word limit and can be played freely. No matter what form it takes, nursery rhymes are short and pithy. For example, Liu Yuxian's "Roller Coaster" is "three or three styles": in the sky,/underground,/in the clouds,/in the fog. /roller coaster,/downhill,/I'm a,/meteor! This nursery rhyme has a neat sentence pattern, all three sentences, and it is very smooth and natural to read. Another example is Fan Fajia's Good Friends: Golden Hook,/Silver Hook,/Put out your little finger,/Hook/Hook,/Click,/Sing and dance together,/We are all good friends. The staggered use of three words and seven words makes the whole nursery rhyme patchwork and full of charm. Although the sentence pattern of this children's song is changeable and there are many words, it is still harmonious in sound and rhyme and has a harmonious beauty. Fourth, affection is playful and interesting. In other words, nursery rhymes are oral literature created for children, which should naturally conform to children's psychological characteristics and the language should be playful and interesting. For example, Fan Jiaxin's "the Monkey King Beats Monsters": Tang Priest plops on horseback, followed by/the Monkey King. /the Monkey King, run,/Pig Bajie followed. /Pig has a long nose,/followed by Friar Sand,/Friar Sand is carrying a basket,/followed by an old witch. /Old hag, that's bad./I fooled Tang Priest and Bajie. /Tang Priest and Bajie are so confused. /You can't tell a man from a devil. /Confused, cheated,/Thanks to the Monkey King's bright eyes. /Eyes bright, shining with golden light,/Hold high the golden hoop. /big stick, awesome,/ghosts go out. The children can't help singing this playful and interesting nursery rhyme. The fifth is to imagine strange humor. Humor is the wealth of life, and a sense of humor is naturally an important part of nursery rhymes. For example, Jin Bo's "Big Brother Hunting": Big Brother, Big Brother,/Big talk:/"I hunt, I can shoot one at a time!" ∥ eldest brother, eldest brother,/hem on the hillside; /going hunting in the mountains, there are many bullets. Brother looks really terrible. /He went to shoot tigers in the Woods. /The tiger opens its mouth and teeth,/scaring my brother to fight wolves; /Wolf a hum,/hit the bear; /When the bear barks,/Hit the bobcat; /Bobcats snore while sleeping,/Scared my brother to hit squirrels; /Squirrel jumps,/Leaves fall,/Brother runs home holding his head ...//Brother,/That's funny,/Going hunting,/Didn't even catch a rabbit hair! This poem has a strong irony, which makes people laugh, laugh and laugh comfortably after reading it. But from that humorous laughter, I realized that I should do things wholeheartedly. The five characteristics of nursery rhymes tell us that nursery rhymes are most suitable for children's psychological characteristics and cognitive ability. They are inseparable companions in children's lives, the rain and dew of their hearts and their spiritual home. Childhood life without nursery rhymes is boring, lonely and withered; Childhood life accompanied by nursery rhymes is beautiful, colorful and nourishing. So, what is the status of nursery rhymes in children's enlightenment education? What effect does it have on children's growth? I believe that good nursery rhymes have a subtle influence on children's temperament. It will make children grow up physically and mentally in laughter. Nursery rhymes have six functions. First, it is conducive to cultivating children's pure and noble moral sentiments. According to the research of scholars and experts, a person's intellectual development has been completed by 50% before the age of four; 20% for four to eight years old; The remaining 30% was completed after the age of eight. The results of this study show that children's intellectual development in early childhood is very rapid and amazing. Grasping the good opportunity of children's intellectual development and educating them, especially the pure and noble moral sentiment education, is the key to their healthy growth. Second, it is conducive to cultivating children's beautiful emotions. Children's goodwill should be cultivated from an early age, and the singing of nursery rhymes is extremely beneficial to the cultivation of goodwill. Look at Jin Bo's nursery rhyme Butterfly Flying: Chase, Chase,/Butterfly Flying. /fly away,/disappear,/fly over the bamboo fence,/become a flower. This nursery rhyme is extremely concise, but it contains high aesthetic value. High-spirited rhyme and lively rhythm give children an aesthetic pleasure and feeling in singing. Another example is Chang Rui's "Two Little Elephants": two little elephants are walking by the river,/raising their noses and hooking up,/like a pair of good friends, shaking hands when they meet. This nursery rhyme is indifferent and self-adaptive, such as gossiping, but full of life interest. In the author's casual and dexterous writing, the themes of politeness and friendship will come to the bottom and give people beautiful enjoyment. Third, it is conducive to cultivating children's good behavior habits. First of all, the enlightenment education for children is to educate children, and the core of education is to cultivate children's good behavior habits. Good habits benefit children for life. Nursery rhymes, an art form, tell children what is good, what is bad, what should be done and what should not be done. Please look at the nursery rhyme: the bathtub is like the moon,/the baby is the star; /Take a bath on the moon,/The stars are shining. Let's look at this nursery rhyme collected by Xu: dressing obliquely,/wearing a hat obliquely,/not being a good boy. Both nursery rhymes are very interesting. Tell children to form a good habit of loving cleanliness and neatness from both positive and negative aspects. Another example is Zhuang Yan, a primary school student in Beijing. She wrote a new nursery rhyme "Everyone starts with me": make the earth green,/make the sky blue,/make the river clear,/make the air fresh,/make flowers bloom,/make birds sing,/make the environment better,/let everyone start with me. This nursery rhyme uses eight parallel sentences to tell children to care for the environment from me and to develop good habits of caring for the environment from an early age. Fourth, it is conducive to cultivating, enriching and developing children's imagination. The creativity of a country and a nation determines its rise and fall. To enlighten children, we must first educate them about creativity, and imagination is the basis of creativity. Nursery rhymes often expand the bold imagination, allowing children to be unconstrained and unconstrained, and spread their imagination wings. Look at Xue Weimin's nursery rhyme "Clouds Raise Water Drops": Clouds, Clouds,/I ask you,/Why don't you rain? ∥ The cloud said,/Don't worry,/I will lift the raindrops to the sky,/When the raindrops get bigger,/they will collapse. This nursery rhyme raises the artistic conception of raindrops through clouds, allowing children to develop rich imagination. Another example is Jin Bo's nursery rhyme "Cloud": blue sky, like the sea,/white clouds, like sailing boats. Clouds are walking in the sky/like sailing boats floating on the sea. Sailing boat, sailing boat,/What do you have? /Walk so slowly. ∥ No fish,/No shrimp,/It's all raining in Mao Mao. Raindrop, raindrop,/Please come down and help me water the vegetable garden. This nursery rhyme is similar to "Clouds Raise Water Drops" written by Xue Weimin. The difference is that this nursery rhyme is more imaginative and gives children a broader aesthetic space. Listening to nursery rhymes in this way is of great benefit to developing children's creativity. Fifth, it is conducive to cultivating children's smart minds and developing their intelligence. Childhood and adolescence are a period of rapid development of children's intelligence, and also the best period of intellectual development. Nursery rhymes are rich in knowledge, which is very conducive to developing children's intelligence. For example, Fan Fajia's Tan: Xiaohe Tan,/shua,/drizzle Tan,/Sasha Vujacic; /Chicken can talk,/Ji Ji Ji,/Duck can talk,/Xia Xia Xia,/Xiaohua Mall can talk,/Mimi Mimi,/Little frog can talk,/Quack quack. /My doll learns to talk./Sometimes she calls her father./Sometimes she calls her mother. This children's song is full of fun and joy. Telling children a lot of knowledge through different voices can be described as the integration of knowledge and practice, entertaining and entertaining. Nursery rhymes, through a variety of ears, tell children about the knowledge of ears and inspire children. Sixth, it is beneficial to cultivate children's language expression ability. Children begin to babble from infancy, and the sonorous rhyme and natural and beautiful listening characteristics of nursery rhymes are precisely their first teachers to learn languages. Singing nursery rhymes often helps to cultivate children's expressive ability. Such as Liu Ruomin's nursery rhyme "Spring Rain": tick-tock, tick-tock,/drizzle! /The seed said,/"Come down, come down,/I want to sprout." /The pear tree said,/"Come down, come down,/I'm going to blossom." /Mai Miao said:/"Go down, go down,/I want to grow up." /The child said,/"Come down, come down,/I want to plant melons." /Tick tock, tick tock,/It's raining! This nursery rhyme, through repeated singing, can not only help children learn language, but also improve their expressive ability. Nursery rhymes are like a big meal for children growing up. Without them, children will be malnourished and it will be difficult for them to grow up in a healthy and balanced way. With the development of the times, children's aesthetic tastes and needs will constantly change. Some old nursery rhymes can no longer meet the needs of children, which requires us nursery rhymes writers, especially kindergarten, primary and secondary school teachers and primary and secondary school students, to get a pen and create new nursery rhymes that meet children's aesthetic tastes and needs. The creation of children's songs should adopt personification, exaggeration, overlapping, repetition, narration, contrast and other methods, be rich and colorful, suit both refined and popular tastes, and be harmonious and unified, so that the children's song garden will be colorful and bright. Only by developing and prospering the creation of nursery rhymes can nursery rhymes play a better role in children's enlightenment education. Children's growth is inseparable from nursery rhymes. They call for more and better new nursery rhymes, and call for more and better new nursery rhymes to accompany them to grow sturdily. There are nursery rhymes in all countries and ethnic groups in the world, and even people without words have nursery rhymes. Traditional children's songs belong to a kind of folk literature and should be included in folk songs. Nursery rhymes are children's education from the cradle, which plays an irreplaceable role in caring for the soul and nourishing the character of any animation or toy. Contemporary children should have nursery rhymes full of the flavor of the times.
