Jing'an Hakka nursery rhymes (the third batch of provincial level) Jing'an Hakka nursery rhymes are mainly spread in Luowan Township, more than 50 kilometers away from Jing'an County. The highest peak here is 1,729.5 meters above sea level, surrounded by mountains, lush vegetation, and a warm and humid climate. Since the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Hakka people migrated here from Guangdong and Fujian, and at least in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, they inherited and enriched their own Hakka nursery rhymes. There are more than 30 Jing'an Hakka nursery rhymes, which can be divided into jingles, answering words, tongue twisters, vernacular songs, etc. in terms of form, and astronomy and geography, civility and etiquette, behavior and habits, life interest, etc. in terms of content. Representative nursery rhymes include "Red Flowers on Yanggushao", "Learning Crafts", "Moonlight", "Half-Baked Cake on the Upper Floor", etc., most of which are three-word and seven-word sentences. Nursery rhymes have a loud voice, rich vocabulary, humorous language, vivid images, and sincere emotions. They have certain literary value, so they can teach children in an entertaining way, help them understand the truth, increase their knowledge, and inspire their wisdom. They can also train their eloquence and enrich their imagination. At present, the phenomenon of nursery rhymes in Luowanshan Township has been affected to a certain extent by the impact of modern civilization, but there are still more than 200 to 300 people who inherit them.
