Values of Life of the People of Neithal Land

Abstract

During the era of classical languages, classical literature can be seen in the writings of classical authors. There should be maturity in language, character, maturity, principles, broad mind, broad vision, idealism, high generality, dignity, control, discernment, character, clarity, etc. Any literature that is written in a language that does not have a high level of language development, richness, strength, and ability to mould itself according to time will not be considered classical literature. Similar to how the language is nurtured, literature written by such individuals cannot be considered classical literature since they lack character, a broad perspective, and a true heart. In this case, Tamil was a cultural language during the Sangam period. It can be known from its concepts. It is no exaggeration to say that this period was a fertile period for the emergence of classical literature. Among these ancient Sangam works, the Sangam literature accurately described the ancient people's living circumstances in the weaving department, which was divided into five categories. These are divided internally by prioritizing masculinity and femininity and highlighting the personality of the individual. Also in the Sangam literature, there are four that deal with time, soil, and life. They are Kurinji, Mullai, Marutham, Neithal, etc. A specific way of life and culture have been established for each department. Every sector has a distinct culture and way of life. These include textiles that depict coastal life. Additionally, coastal trading began in this area. The aim of this research article is to reveal the life values of the people who lived on this land.
