"Two Tigers" is a nursery rhyme adapted from a French song called "Jacques Brothers". In China, the word "Jacques Brothers" in the first and second sentences was changed to "Two Tigers", and the lyrics were also changed to "Tigers have no eyes or ears, or no tail, marveling at their" strangeness ".
As for why the lyrics of "Tiger Edition" can become mainstream in China, it may be because of Song of the National Revolution. On July 2nd, 1926, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education passed the "National Anthem Case" and decided to change the national anthem to "National Revolutionary Song" before the promulgation of the new national anthem, which made the original lyrics have no market. Later, the times changed and left the "Tiger Edition".
Classification of nursery rhymes
Children's songs can be classified in different ways according to different standards. Children's songs can be roughly divided into two categories according to their functions: playing children's songs and teaching children's songs. Game nursery rhymes are a kind of nursery rhymes mainly for entertainment, which are easy to understand, catchy and close to life. Comparatively speaking, children's songs are more focused on education and guidance, so they are also called inspirational children's songs.
In addition, tongue twisters to train language ability can also be regarded as the embryonic form of children's songs in the game. Tongue twisters can be traced back to the era of the Yellow Emperor more than 5000 years ago. Fortunately, "Playing Songs" preserved in ancient books is said to have been written by the Yellow Emperor. According to textual research, this is a ballad close to the original form.
According to the time or form, it can be divided into ancient nursery rhymes and modern nursery rhymes. Nursery rhymes are ancient children's songs, but ancient nursery rhymes have been handed down, and most of them have no tunes, only lyrics. According to the singing language, nursery rhymes can be divided into Mandarin nursery rhymes, Hakka nursery rhymes, Cantonese nursery rhymes and English nursery rhymes.
