Basic characteristics of children's songs
The content is simple: children's songs come into children's lives with their mothers singing beside the baby's cradle. As children grow older, they learn to sing children's songs from perception to imitation, and finally get aesthetic feeling from them. The content of children's songs is often very simple and easy for children to understand, or simply describe and narrate events in a concentrated way, or express ordinary things with simple and interesting rhymes.
Short space: children's understanding of the surrounding things is still relatively simple, limited to word of mouth. Therefore, the length of children's songs should be short and exquisite, and the structure should be simple and uncomplicated. Common children's songs are generally only four or six or eight short sentences, but of course there are longer ones.
Vivid and lively language: the spread of children's songs is largely achieved through games, so it is required that their works are suitable for chanting and can cooperate with the game process, and they must show a distinct sense of music and rhythm.
