TRADITION The way of being, the habits, and the language is translated in living, in the music, in the food, in the culture finally. The Polish people denominate your residence with several names: Sloop, Chycza, Strzecha, Buda, Budynek and Talent. The old Talent in agreement with your divisions and subdivisions are contained in two types: a) the most frequent, of two izba (room), disposed symmetric, separate for the sien (hall). b) the least frequent, of only one izba. In the first, the izba on the right side is also denominated izba biala (fourth white) and the one on the left side, izba czarna (fourth black). Later, the sien separating the two izbas would persist.
Variations of the fastening of the plank of a house of the Polish rural country. Superstitions To popular superstition, he prayed that a new residence should have your initiate construction on one Saturday, never on Monday. They should also spill some water and rye under the foundations. If when passing of the days the cereal he stayed unaffected, the place was good for the construction. For durability of the house, bury an old Gospel and sacred plants in the place of the construction. To confuse the bad spirits it should be left at least a wall without painting, to give the impression that the house was not ready to be inhabited. Once concluded the construction, the occupation should give if in a day of full moon, or happy day and to follow the recommendations of: before any human entered, an estimate animal should be let to enter first, later they would owe introduced if the corn bread, the salt, the broom, the book of songs and a crucifix. Finally to spill on the floor several varieties of cereals. Only after this, the house was ready to receive the furniture and your residents. Very frequent it was the habit of placing the registration of the letters K, M and B, abbreviations of the kings magician’s names, in the main door. FOOD They also existed numerous superstitions on the act of to eat and to drink, as well as sympathies to arrange and to conserve the victuals. One should not talk during the meals, not to count the number of blacks, not to serve certain victuals in certain days. The whole culinary art and other domestic activities followed rigorous prescriptions recommended by the popular superstition to contribute with the preservation of the peace and of the family happiness. The visitor whenever the arrived a house it placed small portions of oat in the four songs of the host's table, in a gesture that meant desires that there never lacked the bread. During the last dinner of the year Lemieszka, a thick broth of wheat flour with a lot of fat was served. This food predicted a year of a lot of fat, or is abundance of accomplishments. A Polish banquet always presented seven or nine delicacies. Among them they stood out:
Other quite spread victuals of the Polish cookery are:
Revenues Some revenues: BIGOS Ingredients
Way of doing: For in the pot sour cabbage and to cover with boiled water; in another pot, for cut fresh cabbage in ribbons and to cover with water boiled. Boil the pork in small quadrate in the oil, to join dry mushrooms (washed) and to cook until softening, with the sour cabbage. To cut small parts of bacon and mix with cabbage. In the oil of the fry (of the bacon), to fry onion and to gild the wheat flour. After cooking more than two hours, to join everything in a pot and for tomato mass, salt, a pinch of pepper. The more amount of meat has the bigos, more pleasant it is. MUSIC They are numerous the Polish songs. The work of Kolberg presents several volumes telling the history of the Polish song. However, they can be contained in family and commemorative songs. Some of the old songs had a satirical tone as the one that he refers Maciek (Mátcheq)": he Died Maciek, he died - it is lying on the board - if they played him something - it would still dance ". The theme is vast, but it can be summarized that the commemorative songs are quite old; the religious songs appeared in the medium age and erotic songs of the century XVIII. Frederyk Chopin perhaps has been the largest representative of a music that possesses specific characteristics of melody and rhythm that it distinguishes it of the other Europeans. Just as in the Polish Slavic temper, the music possesses accentuated contrasts with tendency for the meditation and the melancholy, abrupt changes of the spiritual state for the exuberant and communicative happiness. Then the reason, after Dur befalls Moll and vice-versa, after the tearful Errant, the sudden allegro and until the Swift. Kolberg in your work ends that " the one that she can turn the Polish music for our national collection of songs and like her it constitutes a constructive factor and of exceptional it was worth for the artistic music, it is enough to remind that Chopin, although it didn't use the popular melody for the composition of your musical poems, in her it looked for the pulses and it created them in consonance with your spirit ". |
