An update on Our Teochew Birthday Song Contest 《我们的潮语生日歌》创作比赛|最新消息 🎶

我们怀着满满的期待发起了这项比赛。如今投稿阶段已正式结束。虽然本次活动未收到参赛作品,但我们由衷感谢社群一路以来给予的鼓励、转发、真诚交流与支持。

Meaningful cultural projects often take time to grow. Our recent discovery of Ah Ma’s Birthday (阿嫲生日), a nursery rhyme now gaining popularity in kindergartens in Teochew, China, reminds us that our community is indeed actively searching for a birthday song to call our own.

文化的扎根,往往需要时间的滋养。正如我们近期留意到、正在潮汕地区幼儿园传唱的童谣《阿嫲生日》——它也提醒我们,潮州人始终在寻找一首属于自己的、能够代代传唱的生日歌。 

The Teochew Store will continue to support and share Teochew language and music. If you have ideas, songs, or inspirations, we would still love to hear from you. ❤️

潮舗将继续支持与推广潮州方言与音乐文化。若你有任何想法、歌曲或灵感,欢迎随时与我们分享,我们始终愿意倾听与推动。 ❤️
