Info for writer in Thai series fandom: Lullabies

Some well know song used for lullabies, games, ect.

Notes:

I notice that using lullabies or nursery rhymes in writing is a common occurrence, so in this chapter I will give you something in case you want some Thai songs for that. Oh, but if you are more comfortable using an English song, then I would like to assure you that many of them are well known in Thai. Don't worry.

I added all song links on AO3, but just some here due to the post limit.

I added some song links on AO3, but not here, sorry.

นกกาเหว่า : nok-ka-wao (Cuckoo song)

กาเหว่าเอย ไข่ไว้ให้แม่กาฟัก    kawao oei khai wai hai mae ka fak   The cuckoo lays an egg for the mother crow to hatch. 

แม่กาก็หลงรัก คิดว่าลูกในอุทร    mae ka ko long rak khit wa luk nai uthon   The crow fell in love and thought that the egg was her own, 

คาบเอาข้าวมาเผื่อ ไปคาบเอาเหยื่อมาป้อน    khap ao khao ma phuea pai khap ao yuea ma pon   carrying food and prey back to feed it, 

ถนอมไว้ในรังนอน ซ่อนเหยื่อมาให้กิน    thanom wai nai rang non son yuea ma hai kin   cherish it in the nest, and hide the prey for it to eat. 

ปีกเจ้ายังอ่อนคลอแคล ท้อแท้จะสอนบิน    pik chao yang on khlokhlae thothae cha son bin   Your wings are still too weak to teach to fly. 

แม่กาพาไปกิน ที่ปากน้ำพระคงคา    mae ka pha pai kin thi paknam phra khongkha   The mother crow took it to eat at the estuary of the Ganges river. 

ตีนเจ้าเหยียบสาหร่าย ปากก็ไซ้หาปลา    tin chao yiap sarai pak ko sai ha pla   Feet are stepping on algae, and the mouth is searching for fish. 

กินกุ้งแลกินกั้ง กินหอยกระพังแมงดา    kin kung lae kin kang kin hoi kra phang maengda   Eat shrimp and crayfish. Eat mussels and horseshoe crabs.

กินแล้วก็โผมา จับที่ต้นหว้าโพธิ์ทอง    kin laeoko pho ma chap thi ton wa pho thong   Then dart to the Wa Pho Thong tree. 

ยังมีนายพราน เที่ยวเยี่ยมเยี่ยมมองมอง    yang mi naiphran thiao yiam yiam mong mong   There is also a hunter sneaking a peek at them. 

ยกเ��าปืนขึ้นส่อง จ้องเอาแม่กาดำ    yok ao puen khuen song chong ao mae ka dam   Raising the gun and staring at the black crow, 

ตัวหนึ่งว่าจะต้ม อีกตัวว่าจะยำ    tua nueng wa cha tom ik tua wa cha yam   one is to boil, another one will be made into yum. 

กินนางแม่กาดำ ค่ำวันนี้อุแม่นา    kin nang mae ka dam kham wanni u mae na   This evening we will eat the mother black crow.

*These two clips word some lyrics a little different, but overall, it's the same.

นกขมิ้น : nok-kha-min (Canary song)

เจ้านกขมิ้นเหลืองอ่อนเอ๋ย  chao nokkhaminlueang-on oei  O light yellow canary

ค่ำแล้วจะนอนที่ตรงไหน  kham laeo cha non thi trong nai  Where will you sleep at night?

จะนอนไหนก็นอนได้ cha non nai ko non dai  You can sleep anywhere.

สุมทุมพุ่มไม้ก็เคยนอน  sumthum phummai ko khoei non  The bushes used to sleep

ลมพระพายชายพัดมาอ่อนๆ  lom phra phai chai phat ma on on  The gentle wind blows

เจ้าเคยจรมานอนรังเอย  chao khoei chon ma non rang oei  You used to wander and come to sleep in the nest.

This is the first one.  

This is the third one.

Originally I knew only 2 versions of this song, but since I found 4 when I searched, I put all 4 here.

The version of this song that mentions Khun Thong actually has political implications. First, is that Khun Thong died fighting for our country and we should honor his action; and then, afterward, Khun Thong kind of became a symbol of the act of a revolutionary, as that name got used in literature about the uprising on October 14th, 1973, and the massacre on October 6th, 1976.

จันทร์เจ้าขา (Moon song)

"Chaokha" is a word used by women to politely call or beg the elderly. It's quite old-fashioned and is rarely used nowadays.

จันทร์เจ้าขา ขอข้าวขอแกง ขอแหวนทองแดง ผูกมือน้องข้า chan chaokha kho khao kho kaeng kho waen thongdaeng phuk mue nong kha  Moon Chao Kha, I ask for rice, for curry (soup/stew), and for a copper ring to bind my Nong's hand.

ขอเตียงตั่ง ให้น้องข้านอน ขอละคร ให้น้องข้าดู kho tiang tang hai nong kha non kho lakhon hai nong kha du  Ask for a bed for my Nong to sleep in. Ask for a play for my Nong to watch.

ขอยายชู เลี้ยงน้องข้าเถิด ขอยายเกิด เลี้ยงตัวข้าเอง  kho yai chu liang nong kha thoet kho yai koet liangtua kha eng  ask for granny Chu, take care of my Nong. Ask for Grandma koet, take care of me.

จิงโจ้ Chingcho

*Chingcho have many meaning such as  

Pond Skaters

a type of crib mobile nursery décor.

Female soldiers in the reign of King Rama V

kangaroo

mythical creatures

a type of bird.

I grew up thinking the word Chingcho here meant the bird, but after doing some searching I found a more convincing explanation, which is that the word Chingcho in this song did not refer to anything above but the swaying movement that all things above have in common, and this song is about Chinese people who sailed to Thailand to trade and do the swaying movement in order to sail the ship.    จิงเอย จิงโจ้    ching oei chingcho    ching oei chingcho       มาโล้สำเภา    ma lo samphao    making the junk sailing along the waves      หมาไนไล่เห่า    manai lai hao    The dog barks      จิงโจ้ตกน้ำ    chingcho tok nam    chingcho falls into water      หมาไนไล่ซ้ำ    manai lai sam    dog repeatedly chasing      จิงโจ้ดำหนี    chingcho dam ni    chingcho dives away, fleeing      ได้กล้วยสองหวี    dai kluai song wi    get two hand of bananas       ทำขวัญจิงโจ้    thamkhwan chingcho    thamkhwan chingcho    *Tham khwan refers to the practice of performing a ceremony to encourage or resurrect spirits after experiencing a loss of khwan.

It can also mean to pay damages or compensation, to give something for consolation (of the people of north Thailand), to perform rites of welcome or to compensate, or to recompense.

This one is a part of a type of poem used for sing while paddling a boat so it isn't excetly a lullaby but some people do used as one including my family. The content of this poem is to admire the beauty of the parade of royal ships. I decided that translating it would be too difficult for me. So I will just leave it at that.

แมงมุมลายตัวนั้น maengmum lai tua nan  that striped spider

วันหนึ่งมันเปียกฝนไหลหล่นจากบนหลังคา wan nueng man piak fon lai lon chak bon langkha  one day it was wet with rain flowing from the roof

มันรีบไต่ขึ้นฟ้าหันหลังมาทำตาลุกวาว man rip tai khuen fa hanlang ma thamta lukwao  It hurriedly climbed into the sky. Turning around, eyes sparkling.

After some searching, I found out that this one is actually an English song, Itsy Bitsy Spider, translated into Thai, but it is not that match between the two versions, so I am not using the original lyrics here.

Luang Phor Ophasi of Asom Bang Mot, living between BE 2441 to BE 2498 (CE 1898 to CE 1955)

Luang Phor Opasi was born, Chuan Maliphan in BE 2441 at Ban Trok Faifa, Pak Phanang District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province with 7 siblings. At the age of 5, Chuan started his primary study and became a novice at the age of 13 at Wat Tai, Nakhon Si Thammarat, but Wat Tai did not teach Pali, so Chuan moved to Wat Tha Pho. His teacher noticed that Chuan was a smart student and advised him to go to big city to complete his Buddhism study. Then Chuan travelled to Wat Bowonniwet Vihara, Bangkok.

Chuan or Pra Maha Chuan liked to study and learned to speak several languages such as English, Tamil, Malay, Japanese, Pali and others. Pra Maha Chuan was a disciple of Luang Phor Kob of Wat Khao Sarika, Lopburi Province. Although they had never met each other personally, they communicated through telepathy during their meditations and thus Luang Phor Kob taught Pra Maha Chuan all his knowledge and the unique mediation through candle light (Grasin Fire). Luang Phor Kob himself had developed a technique of mediation that is based on the concentration on a flame. Luang Phor Kob had a great capacity to meditate without any interruption for as long as 40 days without any breaks.

When Pra Maha Chuan reached the highest level of study, His behavior started to change in a strange way, it was started from the technique of staring at the flame with continued attention for long period. He observed the precepts strictly, and in particular refused all the offerings given by any people. He tossed all gifts to the bonfire by saying that these objects were temptations which will make him unhappy and that the fire was the solution to this problem. On one occasion, Pra Maha Chuan failed to put out the fire at Wat Bowonniwet Vihara, this made the villagers very unhappy. They didn’t understand why Pra Maha Chuan behaved like this. This leads to many villagers thinking that he had simply become insane. Pra Maha Chuan was requested to leave Wat Bowonniwet Vihara but he was then invited to go to Asom Bang Mot, Bang Mot, Bangkok by a White-robe Master, Archan Bow.

While Pra Maha Chuan was staying at Asom Bang Mot, he called himself “Ophasi”, and people called him Luang Phor Ophasi ever since. Luang Phor Ophasi became very famous for his supernatural ability and fortune telling. Luang Phor Ophasi soon became that well- known that visitors came from far places to have Luang Phor Ophasi foresee their future or to ask Luang Phor Ophasi to perform a miracle for them, that made Luang Phor Ophasi too busy, and skipped his meditation practice. Luang Phor Ophasi then decided to give out amulets as gifts to those which would carry them and to give them to the visitors that asked him to predict their future, and ask them to leave Luang Phor Ophasi in peace. During these years Luang Phor Ophasi also made other amulets such as the Garuda amulet, portraits of himself and King Rama V. Nowadays these amulets are all in collectors’ hands. Many copies were made, and it is extremely difficult to get the authentic items made or blessed by Luang Phor Ophasi.

In BE 2498, Luang Phor Ophasi and two of his disciples were invited to a Buddhist gathering in India that was held on October 28. Luang Phor Ophasi told his two disciples to leave before him and that he would join them later. He also told them that he will not be on the spot before October 31 and to inform the organizers of his delay and the date of its arrival. On that day October 31, many of his disciples went to the Bangkok airport to wish him a happy voyage, but Luang Phor Ophasi did not show up. Unfortunately, a few days later the death of Luang Phor Opasi was announced. In the evening of Oct 30, Luang Phor Opasi himself told the monks at Asom Bang Mot that he was going to remain in meditation for several days and not to disturb him under any circumstance, then he went into the monk house. On October 31, BE 2498, an anxious monk decided to open Luang Phor Ophasi’ monk house and observe whether Luang Phor Ophasi were well or not, he entered the monk house to find Luang Phor Ophasi had passed away.

During this time, in India, the two disciples of Luang Phor Opasi attended the Buddhist gathering in the company of Luang Phor Ophasi. Luang Phor Ophasi had conversation with many other Buddhists dignitaries and even gave a speech to hundreds of people, even photos of this occasion were took.

Luang Phor Ophasi said goodbye to his two disciples, and told them that he was going to return to Thailand only by other means of transport. When they came back, the disciples had a hard time believing the news of Luang Phor Ophasi’s death, everyone believed that they had become insane when they said to have spent the days in Luang Phor Ophasi’s company. Only the testimony of several other monks present and the photographs in India of Luang Phor Ophasi proved the veracity of their incredible history.

Each year at Wat Luang Phor Ophasi, Bangkok, the coffin of Luang Phor Opasi is opened, his body has not decomposed. The changing of his monk robe and a manicure, and grooming of his hair is provided. This is a common thing regarding monks that have become enlightened, the body will not decompose or if the body is burned the bones will turn to relics.

Pak Tai Temple

[seniorprojectphotography-blog]

Wan Chai District

This temple was built in 1863 in honor of Pak Tai, who according to legend was an immortal prince who defeated the Demon King. The Demon King tried to set a serpent and a giant tortoise against Pak Tai, but Pak Tai was able to defeat him. After winning, he was given the title the Supreme Emperor of the Dark Heavens.

The temple was crowded the day I went so it was difficult to take pictures. I was able to get photographs of the statues for Pau Kung, Leoi Dung Bun, and Kwan Kung. 

The temple is the biggest in Hong Kong.

Macau Chinese Temples around the islands are more then 40

Macau Chinese Temples

Around the islands are more then 40 Macau Chinese Temples which are classified as suburban temples rather than distinctive in style. This system of temples is hardly seen in the Mainland China, and neither in Hong Kong nor Taiwan.

  Macau Chinese Temples in Western Paintings and Photography

Besides the records of Matteu Ricci, a number of western painters also came to China and included the A-Ma Temple into their works. The A-Ma Temple was also photographed by French photographers and become one of three earliest photographic scenes of China after the invention of photography.

Among the western painters who come to China were Auguste Borget (1808-1877), William Princep (1794-1874), George Chinnery (1744-1852), Edward Hildebrandt (1818-1869) and etc. .

In the summer of 1844, five years after the invention of photography, Frenchman Jules Itier (1802-1877) came to Macau as one of the entourage of the delegation of Mr. Lagrene. Itier participated in the negotiation of the Treaty of Huang Pu Between China and France. One of his photos was the door of A-Ma Temple. When the film of silver version was developed at that time, its reverse side was put on the front.

A-Ma Temple became one of the earliest scenes that were photographed in China after the invention of photography.

Temple Gods and Worship

The nearly forty temples in Macao are typically mixed in terms of worship. To some extend, these temples belong to suburban temples. For example, the ancient temple of Buddha called “Chan Yuan”, have images other than the Buddha.

In the Lotus Temple, beside the images of Buddha such as Kun lam, God of Earth and Waits, there also are images of Taoism such as Tin Hau and Kwan Tai; the images of folk gods such as God of Land, Lord of Door, Personages and Eminent Horses, Empress of Kam Fa (Golden Flowers) and Lord of Dou Mu; even the images of ancient times of China such as Emperor of Shen Nong, Cang Jie and Zu Song.

Usually the Macau Chinese Temples get the gods of Buddhism, gods of Taoism and the folk gods all together.

Taking the temple of Kun lam for another example, besides the Buddha of Three Generations, Kun lam, God of Earth, Buddha of Maitreya, Eighteen Arhats, Weito and King of Hell, it is also dedicated to Empress and Kwan tai. On its back mountain, there is an image of folk god called “Immortal of Bones” which is hard to find in any books.

The worshippers’ behaviours in the Macau Chinese Temples are also peculiar. Most people offer incenses and recite Buddhist sutras. Others offer sacrifices and fire paper candles.

There is some suburban temple music collected in the Chinese Ancient Music Office. They were performed for the occasion when the ancient emperors offered sacrifices to Heaven, Earth or ancestors. In fact, during ancient times there were various sacrificial activities circulated among the people in honour of Heaven, Earth, Gods, Ghosts or even men.

Later, along with the development of the history, the emergence of religions and the differences among various conventions, the sacrificial activities in honour of Heaven, Earth, Gods, Ghost or ancestors took on multiple looks.

The sacrificial activity in honour of men has gradually changed to be part of social activity, by offering sacrifices to eminent figures of Chinese nations instead of ancestors of a clan or a family, though this social activity has developed continuously until today.

The so-called suburban culture refers to all the cultures associated with sacrificial activities. It is a spiritual belief.

The places where people offer sacrifices, process religious services, worship and commemorate are material conditions of suburban cultures, namely the relative Buddhist temples, Taoist abbeys, ancestral temples, former residences, precipices, grottos, sacrificial houses, mausoleums and tombs. (Buddhist Temples of China, Tian Jin People’s Publishing House, 1994 edition by Wu Yingcai and Guo Junjie)

The nearly forty existent temples o Macao have formed a system accumulated over a long period since the middle age of the Ming Dynasty. The number of the temples has never been reduced and the cultural relics from the Ming Dynasty are well kept in the temples.

The system of suburban Macau Chinese Temples originated mainly from Lingnan and central plains, and was influenced a great deal by central plains.

It is said in the Annals of Zhongyi Village of Foshang: “The people of Yue respect ghosts.” This custom has a deep influence in Macao.

The gods worshipped in the Macau temples have two origins: one refers to the gods from central plains such as the Buddhist gods, Taoist gods and gods of ancient times; the other refers to the folk gods from Lingnan.

The worship of Kam Fa (Golden Flowers) which can be seen everywhere in Macao came from Lingnan. The worship of Empress of Golden Flowers originated from Guangzhou. It is said that the Empress, regarded as protective god of children, can protect the normal childbirth, but also bless their peaceful growth.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the temple of Golden Flower had a large number of worshippers and more than eighty images of Empress of Golden Flower were worshipped in the temple. The phenomenon aroused the interest of the folklorist and historian Gu Jiagang and other persons, and then they made a special visit to the temple to study more about it.

At the present there are more than ten temple where Empress of golden flowers are worshipped, including temple of Lin Fung, Temple of Tai Soi, Temple of Yi Ling, Temple of immortal Lu Zu, Temple of Lin Kai, Ancient Temple of Kun Lam, Ancestral Temple of Fok Tak in Horta e Mitra, Temple of Golden Flowers of Coloane (also called Temple of Three Divinities) and etc. Among these temples, the temple of Lin Kai and the Temple of Tai Soi are the largest scale.

There are 15 images of Kam Fa (Empress of Golden Flowers) respectively worshipped in the Temple of Lin Kai and the Temple of Tai Soi. These images are in different poses: some take babies in their arms, some wave fans and some feed babies at the breast, showing their secular aspects. Though the temple is not as large as the Temple of Golden Flowers of Henan Village of Guangzhou in scale, it keeps the folk customs.

The worshipped of the God of water Tam Kung in the Temple of Tam Kung of Coloane and the Temple of San Seng (Three Divinities) of Ka Ho came from the folk worship of the Mountain of Nine Dragons of Huizhou of Guangdong; the Dragon Mother of Yuecheng worshipped in the Temple of Nu Wa of the Ruins of church of Sao Paul, originated from the main Goddess-Dragon Mother of Yuecheng of the Temple of Dragon Mother located I Deqing of Guangdong, which has a wide influence in the region of Delta of Pearl River.

The images worshipped in some Macau temples come from Lingnan, which shows deep influences of Lingnan culture in Macao. Macao lies to Lingnan and most residents of Macao have origins of Guangdong, so it is convenient for Lingnan to spread its beliefs since it has got the advantages of favourable climatic, geographical and human conditions.

The culture of central plains is deeply planted in Macao. Through the Macau temples are heavily influenced by the folk customs of Lingnan, they originated from central plains. The cultural system of central plains is deeply rooted and firmly planted. It has a distant origin and long development. Its great and profound influences can be seen in the Macau Chinese Temples.

The main strain of the system of folk worship of Macao mainly inherits from central plains. As we know, all the images that own a large number of worshippers of Macao such as Kun lam, Tin Hau, Kwan Tai, Pak Tai, Buddha, Lord of Earth, Tai Soi and Lu Zu, originated from central plains. At the same time, the gods of ancient times of central plains such as Nu Wa, Yan Di, Ju Song, Cong Jie, Yi Ling, Mother of Earth and the folk immortals such as Lord in charge of wealth, Hua Guang, Ancestral Master Lu Ban and others, have also exerted great influences on the beliefs of the Chinese of Macao.

Today, worshippers will gather in the temples on every anniversary of Buddha, Kun lam or relative gods. Traditional cultural worship in Macao has deep-roots.

The city of Macao was set up in the Ming Dynasty and more than half of the Macau Chinese Temples were built during the Qing Dynasty. The inflow of the beliefs of central plains and of Lingnan, their settlement and prosperity were associated more or less with the policies of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. For example, the government of the Ming and Qing Dynasties deliberately popularized and advocated images by administrative means and conferred titles to the images, which were favourable to the moralities among the people.

Firstly, the hot image of Aaron Kwok was taken from Aaron Facebook Page. If you ask me what represents HK to me, it will be none other than the actors and actresses from HK movies and drama that I watched growing up. But after my last trip there, I realise Hong Kong has a lot more to offer.

Experience the sights and sounds at your own pace while strolling through the streets of Central and neighbouring Sheung Wan on a self-guided walk while exploring Hong Kong’s rich history, culture, art and entertainment scenes. Five distinctively themed walking routes have been thoughtfully designed in a form of a walking guide to reveal over 100 years of Hong Kong history. Central is well-known as a glitzy financial district, jam-packed with skyscrapers, but beneath the stunning skyline, history, art, food and culture have taken root in this once colonial neighbourhood. Along the way, witness the dramatic transformations that have characterised Central’s short but colourful history, and explore a city that is constantly changing but has never forgotten its origins. The ‘Old Town Central’ walking guide encapsulates the greatest charms from East and West, where the past and present, tradition and innovation, and bustle and tranquillity coexist, blend and collide.

To best discover and experience the vibrant Central district including its colonial monuments, temples, art galleries, street art displays, antique stores, hip boutiques, trending restaurants, rooftop bars and local delicacies; here are the five experiential routes:

Time Traveller

The journey of history and heritage through Central and Sheung Wan was where the story of modern Hong Kong began. From Possession Point, where the British flag was first officially raised, to the Tai Ping Shan area, where many Chinese first settled in the 1840s, this journey passes through some of the city’s oldest, historic streets and offers glimpses of what life was like when the future world city was still in its infancy. “This area was well connected with several exits and hence revolutionaries could escape easily once they picked up any winds of ambush.” Local heritage expert Paul Chan talks about the area around Pak Tsz Lane Park, between Aberdeen and Peel Street, which once housed the Furen Wenshe, the intellectual group which provided assistance to various abortive revolts against the Qing dynasty before the eventual successful revolution in 1911.

A stroll down the picturesque Hollywood Road, one of the oldest streets in Hong Kong, lined with galleries offers a huge range of artworks, from ancient to contemporary and from Asian to Western. Artists and art connoisseurs of all levels can seek inspiration and enjoy the creative graffiti art on the walls of the many side alleys leading off the street. “It is such an interesting street mix with independent boutiques, modern studios, cafes and much more. The corner has a wonderful relaxed atmosphere and an arty vibe.” At the junction of Upper Station and Tai Ping Shan streets, Hong Kong fashion designer Harrison Wong finds a vibe he can call his own. Inspired by day-to-day life, his collections are elegant but edgy, a mix that overflows at Aberdeen Street’s PMQ, home to his menswear boutique Harrison’s Shop. “It is a city full of hardworking people and at the same time a city that is compatible with an enriching lifestyle. I travel a lot, but I always like to come home. Hong Kong is incomparable really.”

Tasting Hong Kong

Central is a paradise for food lovers; this route offers a world of choices only steps from each other. From traditional dim sum to international and fusion cuisine to local dai pai dongs and tantalising street food, there is something to cater to every taste bud. “Hong Kong is ‘Home Kong’ to me. It feels like I’ve lived here in my previous life.”. She may be Singaporean but Eunice Lim is all about Hong Kong. She is the @foodtravelbabe and Central is forever satisfying her curiosity. Being a city girl at heart, the vibrancy of Central satisfies her need for new experiences in the midst of old Hong Kong charm. You might spot her at places like Yardbird, SPIGA or Belon for dinner, but “Sing Kee” the longstanding Dai Pai Dong (open air food stall) that serves Cantonese stir-fried food is her all-time favourite place for an authentic old Hong Kong experience.

For the treasure hunters, the walk begins at Upper Lascar Row, where a fascinating mix of antiques and Chinese calligraphy dealers can be found in this street. The route makes its way uphill to the blooming creative neighbourhood on Tai Ping Shan Street and in the PoHo area, where design studios are nestled between teahouses; and the Bridges Street area – a melting pot of old and new, with second-hand books and knick-knacks that feeds your imagination about the city’s past. “Out of the 21 years I’ve lived here, I lived around nine years in Central. It’s active and you have so many contrasts and differences. Probably that’s the real Hong Kong. From one second to another you can have a very international appeal but then there are very Chinese stores too. It’s not all modernised. You still have a lot of old buildings. It’s a nice place to get lost I think.”, Arnault Castel, owner of Kapok.
