Abstract:
Traditions have emerged and gradually crystallized from the life experience of people, being formed and transmitted along history. They are a collective memory that retains, imprints, stores and reproduces a secular social experience. Undoubtedly, within the transmission of traditional experience, imitation is essential. The child and the young man see habits and rituals, take part in them, hear songs and anecdotes, and memorise them, because they are repeated and because the adults do like that. But the young and the child are alsoexplained whatthey are and how to deal with them. As for the argumentation (why should?), it consists of,par excellence, tradition itself: this is it because this is what wehave learned from the elderly.
