TRADITIONAL CULTURE IN THE CETINA REGION

Tradicijska kulturna baština skup je tradicija, dobara i običaja u povijesti nekog naroda. Prenosi se s koljena na koljeno te se na taj način čuva od zaborava. U ovom radu izložen je samo dio kulturnog nasljedstva Cetinskoga kraja s posebnim naglaskom na predaje i vjersku liriku. Zabilježene su lokalne posebnosti karakteristične za Sinj i Cetinski kraj koje su neprocjenjive vrijednosti za sve naraštaje. Najčešće je sačuvan samo verbalni dio usmene izvedbe kojom su članovi zajednice izražavali svoj socijalni i kulturni identitet prema drugima. Kako su se godinama mijenjali kultura i način života, tako su se mijenjali i usmeni oblici. Potrebno je njegovati narodnu nematerijalnu kulturnu baštinu koju su stoljećima stvarali naši preci. Iz nje se mogu iščitati mnoge poruke i pouke te je treba poznavati i iz nje učiti. Običaji su temelj narodne kulture i upravo se u njima najjasnije ocrtava karakter i individualnost jednog naroda.Traditional cultural heritage is a set of traditions, goods and customs in the history of a nation. It is passed down from generation to generation and, just like that, is kept from being forgotten. In this paper, only a fraction of the cultural heritage of the Cetina region is presented, with special emphasis on oral traditions and religious poems. The paper also showcases some recordings regarding the local specialties typical for Sinj and the Cetina region, which are of inestimable value for all generations. Most often, only the verbal part of the oral performance is preserved, by which the members of the community expressed their social and cultural identity towards others. As the culture, as well as the way of life, changed over the years, so did the oral forms. It is necessary to nurture the intangible cultural heritage, which was being created for centuries by our ancestors. Many messages and lessons can be read from it, and it should be known and learned from. Customs are the basis of each national culture, and it is precisely in them that the character and individuality of a nation is most clearly outlined
