In China, there are children's songs with the theme of spring, as well as this classic "Little Swallow":
Little swallow wearing flowery clothes
come here every spring
I asked Yanzi why you came
swallow says
Spring is the most beautiful here
Behind the beautiful melody, do you know how "Little Swallow" "flyed into" thousands of households?
In May 1955, Wang Lu, who was teaching at Hubei Daye Normal School (now Hubei Institute of Technology), was hospitalized for eye disease.
One day, Wang Lu, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked out the window and a swallow flew by. It happened that Children's Day was approaching. He immediately wrote a few poems for children, including "Little Swallow".
Subsequently, these poems were published in "Yangtze River Literature and Art", and were discovered by the famous composer Wang Yunjie. The two of them passed on the book thousands of miles away, and jointly created the song "Little Swallow". .
sow the first dream
Some people say that children's songs are the recitation of the original concept of life, and good children's songs can stimulate children's yearning and pursuit of beautiful things.
This is true!
Many nursery rhymes, with easy-to-understand lyrics and catchy melodies, sow the seeds of etiquette, morality and good quality in the hearts of children.
"I picked up a penny on the side of the road and handed it over to the police uncle." "One Penny" taught children the good morals of picking up gold.

"I go to school, I'm not late every day, I love learning and work, and when I grow up, I want to make contributions to the people."
This "Going to School Song" accompanies generations of people through the student days, and the song also contains the author's ardent hope for the next generation.
"Look, look, find friends, find a good friend. Salute, shake hands, you are my good friend."
Friendships in childhood are often more pure, and making good mentors and friends may affect a person's life.
Now, do you still remember the "good friend" you found as a child?
the stage is everywhere

I believe everyone is familiar with this song "Flying Bugs", but do you know that it is actually an episode of the movie "The Wind and Clouds Dominate the World"?
The episode "A Pair of Pairs" sung by Ekin Cheng, the protagonist of the movie, is the Chinese version of "Flying Bugs" that we are familiar with.

In the movie, Nie Feng and Kong Ci came to Jianzhong and saw the romantic and beautiful fireflies in the sky. The two looked at each other happily. At this time, the music played, and the innocent child's voice corresponded to the innocent and romantic two people at this time.
"Papa can you sing twinkle twinkle litter star?"
"Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are?"

In 2013, Hunan Satellite TV launched the parent-child variety show "Where Are We Going, Dad?", which triggered an upsurge in ratings. The introduction of the ending song of the show also quoted the famous children's song "Little Star".
The composer of "Little Star" is Mozart.
After his death, the English poetess Jane Taylor wrote the lyrics and became a classic.
The most widely circulated children's song in the world has also been sung in various languages.
The classics of a hundred years ago still exude vitality and "meet" the world in different ways.
