　ABOUT THE ORIGINAL TEXT

　"CHINESE FOLKLORE---PEIPING RHYMES"(also printed in the colophon "PEIPING RHYMES with ENGLISH TRANSLATION") was issued in 1932.
　The contents of this book were almost cited from early collections which already edited. Their numbers and source texts I have found were as follows

　whole 214 contents--
121 contents were from "Chines Folklore--Pekinese Rhymes" by Guido A.Vitale 1896(Ｖ000-000 in text)
23 contents were from "Chinese Mother Goose Rhymes" by I.T.Headland 1900(CMG000-000)
64 contents were from 『北平歌謠集』1928 and,『北平歌謠續集』1930 by 李雪如(平 or 続000-000)
6 contents were from 劉復(劉半農)編訂 「謌謠選」『北京大學日刊』1918-1919

　Much of their differ between this book's version and original text were not more than a letter, one phrases or so. Especially, many contents which cited from Vitale's one were almost agreed even with their translations. And the changes by the editor were sometimes only for the sake to proper for the grammar, and he would not consider those works along the process of the folklore.
　So I could not regard this book as a "collection" which collected and edited by himself. And I look upon those contents only as "referential" case which must be added some comments.
But many articles and books by Chinese students,often cited the songs from this book. So, the influence of this book are not at least. But no one referred to each careers of reproduction and problems on each text. Now I have input those as a data and compared each cases with those in the source texts. And commented them at the end of each cases.
****************************************************

Jan.2002. I got a copy of『北平童謠選輯』by 陳子實. He said in his preface, "the part of English translations" of this book were compiled from "Kinchen Johnson's collection". But when compared tthem, we saw the editor done was only the selection and cut of the songs from original one. Not the "part" but the "whole". actually, the Chinese verses, translations, even the order of the songs and mis-translations were almost same as those in "Johnson's collection". Certainly he had not done any text critiques on his edition.
But this book also seen as a referenced book in the many collections and articles by students. So,I added results of comparation of those books in my notes.
No mark at the front of serial numbers could be seen as simply quotations. But the verses marked with ●, should not be thought to good for refer in your articles.

　CHINESE FOLKLORE

　PEIPING RHYMES


　Compiled and translated

　Poetical Works, Twenty-seven Best Short Stories, and One Hund-
　red Famous Poems.

　[*---original preface---*]

　PREFACE
　Folklore, or literature of the peasant class, the translator thinks, has now become a science and possesses an inestimable value for the elucidation of the social history of mankind. With a view to bringing to light the social life of the Chinese people this little book has been published. A part of the translator's time after class work has been devoted to collecting folk-songs. As a result he has succeeded in compiling and translating two hundred and fourteen. The materials this booklet contains are confined to those rhymes sung in Peking, because Peking, the ancient capital of many dynasties, is a place where there are more nursery rhymes than can be found in any other part of the country. Great care has been taken in selecting from the materials collected for this purpose those which are the most important, valuable, instructive, amusing, interesting, and touching. Most of the rhymes refer to insects, animals, birds, persons especially children, food, parts of the body, actions, professions, trades and business. By reading these rhymes one can gain a better knowledge of the home life, social conditions and civilization of the past of this ancient nation.
　Although it has not been an easy task to reproduce the exact meaning of the original, the translator has done his best to keep intact the meaning and spirit of the original. It is to be understood that these rhymes have not been translated into verse, but common prose, because it is nearly impossible to express them in meter without damaging their meaning and spirit. So in order to be true the Chinese original, prose is preferred.
　The compilation and translation of this book was rendered much easier by the work done by Baron Vitale of the Italian Legation in Peking.

　KINCHEN JOHNSON
　Peiping, March 1st, 1932.

　PEIPING RHYMES


○張001-001　張大嫂，／李大嫂，／上南坡，／摘豆角。／肚子疼，／往家跑，／撩炕蓆，／舖炕草。／養了個兒子叫豆保。／豆保開大店／又賣饅頭又賣麵。

(1)　MISTRESS CHANG
　Mistress Chang and Mistress Li have gone to the southern slope, to gather bean-pods. One of them felt a pain in her bosom, and ran home. She pulled off the kang-mat, spread dry grass on the kang, and bore a child. She called him Tou Pao. Tou Pao has opened a shop he sells bread and flour.

(2)　THE SUN HAS COME OUT LIKE A RED SPOT
　The sun has come out like a red spot. My teacher rides on a horse and I on a dragon. The teacher riding on the horse goes along the streets I riding on the dark dragon cross over to the east of the sea. At the East of the sea there lives my family. In my family they cultivate five pots of flowers. My first sister likes the red peony my second sister likes the tree peony my third sister likes the petals of the peach blossom my fourth sister likes the large lotus blossoms. There is the fifth sister who has nothing she may like, and does not think of other but of becoming a nun. The women in the monastic life live very happily indeed: firstly they do not suffer the vexations of father and mother-in-law secondly they do not suffer a husband's maltreatment thirdly they do not bear children and fourthly they live freely and in a condition of blissful peace.
----------------
　[* cited from Ｖ015-025. ／●陳002-002：＞剩下五姐無的愛→剩下五姐沒的愛＞.I have not yet seen a variation which said the phrase as "沒的愛".]

(3)　THE GIRL OF THE WANG FAMILY
　The girl of the Wang family and boy of the Li family, when they have grown up, have become wife and husband. With trumpets blowing and drums beating, they enter the bridal chamber. After three days, she pays respects to her father and mother-in-law. The father-in-law says: "A good daughter-in-law!" The mother-in-law says "A termagant!" The father-in-law says: "Live carefully!" The mother-in-law says "There are many bad things." (The wife says)"I, the termagant, will not live in your home bad things I will not do in your house. You had better write a bill of divorce to get rid of me."
----------------
　[* Perhaps cited from 続195-092 with some changes.＞悍婆娘→悍娘婆，寫張休書去了吧→寫張休書去了我＞. The 1st case is seen as a simply error of this editor, but the second case can not be thought as so. Would it be suggested for a further variation? ／＝●陳003-004.]


●張004-007　長的眞拙！／長的眞拙！／不會拿針去穿線，／不會拿帚去刷鍋。／一頓喫了八個大窩窩，／比着漢子還喫的多的多。／會喫會穿不會做，／比我女兒差得多，／全是媽媽不會養，／偏偏留下這個沒奈何！

(4)　SHE LOOKS SO UGLY
　She looks so ugly! She looks so ugly! She cannot do work she does not know how to brush pans she eats eight big millet puddings for one meal she eats much more than her husband: she can eat, clothe, but not work. She is much inferior to my daughter. It is entirely because her mamma can not educate her, that she leaves this good-for-nothing.

○張005-009　黃狗黃狗你看家，我到南邊採梅花。一朶梅花沒採了，雙雙人兒到我家。我家媳婦兒會擀麵；拿起擀麵杖一大片；拿起刀賽如線；擱在鍋裏團團轉；盛在碗裏蓮花瓣。公一碗，婆一碗，兩個小姑兒兩半碗；案板底下藏一碗；貓兒過來舔舔碗；狗兒過來砸了碗；耗子過來鋸上碗。嚇的媳婦兒直瞪眼！媳婦兒媳婦兒在那兒睡？在爐坑裏睡。鋪甚麽？鋪羊皮。蓋甚麽？蓋狗皮。枕甚麽？枕棒錘。公公拿着一落磚，婆婆拿着一溜鞭，打的媳婦兒一溜煙。

(5)　YELLOW DOG, YELLOW DOG, LOOK AFTER THE HOUSE.
　Yellow dog, yellow dog, look after the house. I go towards the south to pluck plum-blossoms. I have not yet plucked a single plum-blossom, two persons arrrive at the house. My son's wife knows how to stretch out dough. She takes the roller and stretches a large slice of dough. She takes the knife and cuts vermicelli as thin as thread then she puts them in the cooking-pan, and they turn conglomerated about. Afterwards she puts them down in the bowls and they look like petals of the lotus blossom. She fills one bowl for her father-in-law, one bowl for her mother-in-law, and two half-bowls for her sisters-in-law. She hides one bowl under the dough-board. The cat comes over and licks the bowl the dog comes over and has broken the bowl the mice come over and gnaw the bowl. The house-wife is so scared that she stares vacantly. "Wife, wife, where do you sleep?" "I sleep in the stove-pit." "What have you for bedding?" "I have for bedding a goat's skin." "What have you for coverlet?" "I have a dog's skin." "What have you for pillow?" "I have a linen beater." The father-in-law takes in his hands a pile of bricks, the mother-in-law holds in her hands a row of whips, and they beat the wife so that she runs away as quickly as a stream of smoke.

(6)　THE SMALL CABBAGE
　Like the small cabbage which has become yellow and dry on the ground, at the age of seven or eight years, I lost my mother. I lived so well near my father only I was afraid that he would take another wife. He took one just after three years. She had given me a brother who is more worthy than I, because he eats the food, I only may pour the gravy on my rice. Weeping and wailing I think of my own mother.
----------------
　[* cited from Ｖ013-022 with an error＞養了個兄弟比我強→養了兄弟比我強＞. There were many variations have lost the letter of 了 in the same phrase as 生個弟弟，養個弟弟 or 有個弟弟 but no case was lost the 個 as this case. ／＝●陳006-008.]

(7)　RAKE THE ROOTS AND DVIDE THEM INTO TWO PARTS
　Rake the roots and divide into two parts. In the middle of the road there comes a little student. He rides on a spotted horse to visit his father-in-law. His father and mother-in-law are not at home. He opens the door and catches sight of her (his future wife).　Her pink cheeks are like peach blossoms. She has small bound feet she has cherry lips and her teeth are as white as rice. (He says) I go home and tell my parents that I will marry her at once.

His wife wants to eat pears, then he goes to the fair with a basket on his back. He has bought more than ten. He sits astride on the door-stone to peel the pears. He calls out: "My dear wife, my dear wife, eat them quickly, lest the 'old fellow'(his mother) should come and blame you."
----------------
　[* the version cited in『北平歌謠續集』(1930　続191-091) said the 2nd phrase as "竟愛妻來不孝母". "母" was pronounced as mu³,and "妻" was qi¹. If they were compared by their rhymes, 雞 ji¹ －妻 qi¹ would be better for chant than 雞 ji¹ －母 mu³. and a variation cited in 柿崎進『中國の民謠と童謠』(1943)also said the phrase as "不孝母來竟愛妻". But except the words,the changes between two versions were few. Its so feels unnaturally. And the further variation have not ever seen. So I cannot decide the change was a revision by this editor, or was a variation from his memory. ／＝●陳008-010.]

It was same in the Headland's translation, and it was originally adapted them with their custom rhymes addressed to the lady-bird. Originally "喝(drink)" were said as "喫(eat)". This editor would intend to adjust them for "right" grammar. Really, the expression of "eat the dew" is something strange, but firstly they were sung to the baby who can not speak well. So,it also consider as a childish expression. Secondly, many of other variations, the part "喫露" were "喫米" or "喫白米." Accordingry, it's also probable that they were originally "喫".

　The autumn has set in, the autumn has set in. On the fifteenth of the eighth month the moon illuminates the palaces crows and other birds are silent and men and houses are resting. I have seen two watchmen who went round taking the watch-tally. Here, with only one wick in the lamp, I am sorry it is dark but I am afraid to consume too much oil burning two wicks. I intend buying a candle of mutton-tallow, but, alas! I have not a single cash in the hand.

●張213-425　小五兒，／小六兒，／一塊冰糖，／一包豆兒。／小五兒愛上高，／一爬爬到柳樹稍；／柳樹稍枝兒軟，／摔的小五兒翻了眼。／小六兒眞淘氣，／戴上鬍子唱齣戲；／唱完了戲，／喝熱湯，／湯不涼，／燙的小六兒叫親娘。

(213)　THE SMALL FIVE
　The small Five, and the small Six have a piece of white sugar, and a parcel of beans. The small Five likes to go high up, and he climbs up to the tip of the branch of the willow tree. The tip of the willow branch is weak, and the small Five tumbles down and hurts himself so that he shows the white of his eyes. The small Six is really impertinent! he puts on a false beard and sings an act of an opera. When he has finished singing the opera, he drinks hot broth the broth is not cool, and the small Six scalds himself so that the calls for his mother.

　[* cited from Ｖ025-042 with some changes＞直淘氣→眞淘氣，唱出戲→唱齣戲，唱熱湯→喝熱湯＞. about the first case, I can't understand why it changed. for "出" and "齣",commonly used in this meanning. second case would be not so problem. and the third case had been errored in the source text.(in his translation he said the phrase as " he drinks hot broth ") so,it's regarded as a properlly revision.／＝●陳192-205.]


●張214-427 羊巴巴蛋兒，／用脚撮，／你是弟來我是哥。／打壺酒兒咱們倆人喝，／喝醉了，／打老婆，／吹鼻兒打鼓又娶一個。

(214)　GOAT'S DUNG
　Goat's dung is crushed by the foot, you are my younger brother and I am your first brother. Go and buy a bottle of wine we will both drink it. When I am drunk, I will beat my wife and then with flute-players and drummers I will marry another.

　[* cited from Ｖ083-118 with some change＞你是兄來我是哥→你是弟來我是哥，吹鼻兒打鼓再娶一個→吹鼻兒打鼓又娶一個＞ on the first case, there had been collected , which had either phrase. further they were said as "你是兄弟我是哥" or "你是弟弟我是哥"etc. on the second case, I have not known a variation which have such a phrase. many of them used "再". ／＝●陳193-206.]
