Abstract: Traditional mandarin nursery rhymes have characteristics that cannot be compared with other literary forms, so using them in mandarin learning can promote learners' communicative ability. Since the words of traditional Mandarin nursery rhymes contain actual language used, they provide learners with the opportunity to be exposed to the target language naturally. In this environment of natural contact, learners can learn Mandarin happily and comfortably, learn Mandarin effectively, and reduce the burden of Mandarin learning. Therefore, if the traditional Mandarin nursery rhymes are used properly for learning, they can be applied to the actual field of Mandarin education, and it will be possible to effectively guide students.
