The Succesion of Teochew Nursery Rhymes in Kampung Sungai Burung Malaysia / 潮州童謠的傳承歷程-以馬來西亞霹靂州雙武隆漁村為例

碩士 / 國立政治大學 / 幼兒教育所 / 104 / Teochew nursery rhymes originated from Chao Shan area, in Canton, China. When the immigrants moved to Malaysia, this type of nursery rhymes was once widely sung, for several generations, and had educated many Teochew immigration children. However, with social change traditional nursery rhymes no longer play the role in the childhood now. Therefore, this study is dedicated to the Teochew nursery rhymes by completing a research and a collection of Teochew nursery rhymes, which spread between 1940 to 1970 in the hometown of the researcher--a Teochew fishing village in Kampung Sungai Burung, Perak state, Malaysia. From this research, the reader can know how these rhymes had grown and transformed among the immigrants/villagers based on the sociocultural understanding. Furthermore, the research also discovers that Teochew rhymes contains a special meaning within the hearts of the overseas Teochew people.
After one and a half year’s field research, 42 Teochew nursery rhymes are collected. There were four sources to spread these nursery rhymes in the past: (i) learnt from the singing of the immigrants especially women; (ii) promoted by a radio DJ named Heng Zheng-Jing through his dialect program; (iii) children’s inter-learning game; (iv) the young girls learnt the lullaby from their mother. Being a medium of traditional education, Teochew rhymes portraits the learning scenarios of the village children in the early days, as well as representation the unique, historical value of the Teochew nursery rhymes. As an important carrier of culture, Even though these rhymes originated from China, there had shown a diverse interpretation of meanings when they arrive to South-East Asia. Standing on a point between the present and the past, captured by the writer’s personal growing experience in a Teochew fishing village in Malaysia, this study possesses ‘intentionality’ that tries to comprehend the traditional culture, and to disclose the evolvement history of Teochew nursery rhymes outside China; the most important part of the study perhaps lies in preserving (and rescuing) the precious cultural asset of the Malaysia’s Teochew community.
