Giá trị đạo nghĩa gia đình trong hát ru của người Việt ở Đồng bằng sông Cửu Long

Abstract

Hat ru has existed for long. In Vietnam, hat ru is a popular traditional form of performance arts throughout the whole country. It embodies values of philosophy and unique aesthetics, by which children can be educated both linguistically and creditably at a very young age. With field data collected on hat ru by the Vietnamese in the Mekong Delta, we examine the values of family relationship embedded in this form of arts; thereby showing out the important role of family in shaping children’s qualities, specifically seeding in their souls human principles, morals and affections towards family members.
