The fact is that many young Javanese today do not know wayang characters, wayang stories, folk songs, and children's games. This proves the lack of appreciation of the younger generation for studying literature and culture in their region. They consider that regional literature is ancient and out of date. This causes regional literature and culture to gradually become extinct. Syi'ir Jawi Budi Utami is oral literature written by Kiai Djamal. This research was conducted as an effort to understand syi'ir Kiai Djamal by using the Levi-Strauss structuralism analysis which examines literary works not only from the literary field but also from the field of anthropology. The author focuses this research on two problem formulations, namely, why did Kiai Djamal write syi'ir Jawi Budi Utami and what is the structure of syir Jawi Budi Utami. The method used for data collection is documentation and is processed by descriptive-analytical methods. The purpose of this research is to enrich the discourse and insight into the study of the concept of Levi-Strauss structuralism as well as as a reference or preliminary review for the development of studies on the Sufistic syi'ir of Kiai Djamal in Levi-Strauss structuralism, on the one hand, the application of Levi-Strauss structuralism analysis to other objects. This research found that the principles of writing syi'ir Kiai Djamal consist of five episodes, namely: first Kiai Djamal introduces the phases of a Muslim, namely syari'ah, thoriqoh, and haqiqoh. The second episode of Kiai Djamal introduces one of the tarekat, namely the Syadziliyyah Tarekat, followed by the following chapters regarding the explanation of the Syadziliyyah Tarekat. The third episode is the Qodiriyah Order. The fourth episode is the Tarekat An-Naqsabandiyah in brief. The fifth episode is a continuous explanation of the previous chapter. This shows the structure of writing Syi'ir Kiai Djamal. Also, the researcher sees that the context in syi'ir Kiai Djamal is an unconscious reflection of Kiai Djamal with the discovery of signifier and signified, langue and parole, form and content and phonemes in syi'ir Kiai Sufistik Djamal. Faktanya anak-anak muda Jawa saat ini banyak yang tidak mengenal tokoh-tokoh wayang, cerita wayang, lagu daerah, dan dolanan anak. Hal ini membuktikan kurangnya apresiasi generasi muda untuk mempelajari sastra dan budaya daerahnya sendiri. Mereka menganggap bahwa sastra daerah bersifat kuno dan ketinggalan zaman.  Hal ini menyebabkan sastra dan budaya daerah lambat laun akan mengalami kepunahan. Syi’ir Jawi Budi Utami merupakan salah satu sastra lisan yang ditulis oleh Kiai Djamal. Penelitian ini dilakukan sebagai upaya untuk memahami syi’ir Kiai Djamal dengan menggunakan analisis strukturalisme Levi-Strauss yang mengkaji karya sastra tidak hanya dari bidang sastra saja tetapi juga dari bidang antropologi. Penulis memfokuskan penelitian ini pada dua rumusan masalah yaitu, mengapa Kiai Djamal menulis syi’ir Jawi Budi Utami dan bagaimana struktur dalam syir Jawi Budi Utami. Metode yang digunakan untuk pengumpulan data adalah dokumentasi, dan diolah dengan metode deskriptif analitis. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah memperkaya wacana dan wawasan tentang kajian konsep strukturalisme Levi-Strauss serta sebagai referensi atau tinjauan awal untuk pengembangan kajian atas syi’ir sufistik Kiai Djamal dalam strukturalisme Levi-Strauss di satu sisi, aplikasi analisis strukturalisme Levi-Strauss terhadap objek lain.  Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa prinsip penulisan syi’ir Kiai Djamal terdapat lima episode, yaitu: pertama Kiai Djamal memperkenalkan fase-fase seorang muslim yaitu syari’ah, thoriqoh dan haqiqoh. Episode kedua Kiai Djamal memperkenalkan salah satu tarekat yaitu Tarekat Syadziliyyah disusul bab-bab setelahnya mengenai penjelasan Tarekat Syadziliyyah. Episode ketiga adalah Tarekat Qodiriyah. Episode keempat adalah Tarekat An-Naqsabandiyah secara singkat. Episode kelima adalah penjelasan bab sebelumnya secara sambung  menyambung. Hal ini menunjukkan struktur dari penulisan Syi’ir Kiai Djamal. Selain itu peneliti melihat bahwa konteks yang ada dalam syi’ir Kiai Djamal merupakan cerminan nirsadar dari Kiai Djamal dengan ditemukannya signifier dan signified, langue dan parole, form dan content serta fonem dalam syi’ir Kiai Sufistik Djamal.

The article attempts to extract textual and extratextual planes on which representatives of fauna made their mark in the folklore of the South Slavs, mainly Bulgarians; in their oral literature, rituals, and beliefs, juxtaposed with selected Apocrypha, primarily from the Protoevangelium of James, confronted with the Scripture. The analysed texts (legends, folk tales, ritual songs performed during Christmas) relate to the birth of Christ in Bethlehem and placing him in a manger – the events of Night of Bethlehem and the flight of the Holy Family to Egypt. The excerpted texts of fairy tales and legends marginalise the theme of the Divine Birth, focusing on the figure of the Mother of God and her actions: meeting with St. Tryphon, rejecting the child, receiving lessons on motherhood from the frog, escaping with the Child to Egypt. The birth of Jesus is used as an excuse to tell a story of an etiological character (theme cursing animal or plant), often based on ritual custom and referring to it, such as clipping vines. Just as in the case of fairy tales and legends, folk song uses the birth of Jesus to explain the genesis of some of the characteristics and phenomena of nature. Presentation of animals in ritual songs occasionally refers to the economic sphere (the shepherds slept, and their flock wandered away), while wild animals are the object of punishment or reward. The Apocrypha known among the South Slavs mention animals in situations encountered also in the Bulgarian oral literature – the cosmic silence when fauna and flora freezes in anticipation of the birth of the Young God. The quoted texts of the Bulgarian oral culture referring to the theme of the Nativity of the Lord, the Gospel inspiration or even interaction with the apocryphal text fades into the background. The content of the stories and folk songs seems to be primordial in relation to the processed content of the Gospel; biblical characters and situations are introduced to oral stories already in circulation, creating texts that are testament of the so-called folk Christianity.

Folk literature has come to be identified as one of the priceless resources of an indigenous community. Folk literature is an important carrier of culture, heritage and tradition of a particular cultural or linguistic community. In this context, Assamese „Biyanaam‟ are one type of Folk literature which falls into this mentioned description. The biyanam presented during such ceremonies reflect the socio-cultural life of the Assamese community. This trend showcases the myths, outfits, jewellery, food habits, the cultural ethos etc. This folk songs are called ‘Biyanaam’ (Marriage songs) as they are sung or played only on occasions of marriage ceremony. Rather it is the reflection of collective emotions as well as collective consciousness of Assamese people surfacing as or in the form of oral literature. It transforms and travels along with the changing currents of time. The „biyanaam‟ or “wedding songs” sung in a traditional Assamese wedding ceremony is an integral part of Assamese culture. An Assamese wedding household is practically incomplete without these wedding songs that are sung throughout various ceremonies by the ladies present there.
