Description
In the spring, the young rice plants have to be transplanted into the flooded fields. This is backbreaking work, and people’ clothes are soaked and heavy. To keep spirits up and maintain a rhythm of work, the owner of the field starts a song and the young children (mainly girls) doing the transplanting sing the replies. (Every important and hard task has its own song).
Abstract
