REPRESENTATION OF VALUES OF TRADITIONAL CULTURE IN BURYAT CHILDREN'S LITERATURE

UDK: 821(571.54)

Traditional culture is a complex of various elements that represent an important infor- mation system about the historical stages of development, social relations, norms, values, etc. The article reviews the values of traditional culture reflected in the Buryat literature, primarily literature for children. Reading the works of Buryat writers for children provides opportunities for the preservation and transmission of significant traditional values and so- cio-cultural experience to new generations. An example of the young children's study of Buryat literature is given. As an example of a piece intended for children, the author analyzes the fairy tale play «The Wise Maiden Nogoodoy» by playwright Mikhail Batoin, staged at the Buryat state theater «Ulger» in 1992. This play demonstrates the values of the Buryat traditional culture, sung in folklore genres, primarily in uligers – folk epic legends of the Buryats. The play's heroine is shown as a wise patroness of all life on earth reminding the connection between man and natural forces, and also of the value of family ties.
