Folk literature is characterized by its truthfulness and simplicity. Folk songs are direct and straightforward, without elaborate descriptions. What makes folk literature unique is its ability to categorize childhood into ten distinct phases. Lullabies sung by mothers and relatives serve as a means to express family pride. Folk songs come in various forms, including children's songs, love songs, occupational songs, lamentations, and multifaceted songs. These songs are rich in meaning and based on human life, capturing various life events with melody and rhythm. Thus, folk songs act as a mirror reflecting people's lives, making them a vital part of cultural heritage.
