Mr. Fei Xiaotong proposed "anthropology towards the people" when receiving the Malinovsky Memorial Award of the International Application Anthropology Association,This is not only a review summary of his own research experience,It is even more improving the characteristics of Chinese anthropology。Compared to the vitality of Chinese anthropology,The Bet365 app download development of Chinese folklore in recent years is facing difficulties。Reasons for the reason,Affected by the paradigm of modern social science research,Folklore Studies gradually move towards theoreticalization、Empirical,The most subjective "people" "people" is constantly weakened。Current,China Folk Studies need to learn from Mr. Fei Xiaotong's academic thought,Requirements for the history of the development of disciplines and the development requirements of the times,Highlight the "people's nature" standard attribute,Open "Folklore of the People"。

"Father of Chinese Folk Studies" Mr. Zhong Jingwen emphasized,Folk literature and art have "direct people",This is not only suitable for folk literature and art,It is also a true portrayal of the development of folklore。

1918,Ballad solicitation activities launched by Peking University,It marks the introduction of folklore in the sense of modern disciplines to be introduced into China。Liu Bannong、Shen Yimo、Jiang Shaoyuan、Gu Jiegang, Zhou Zuoren and others began to vigorously advocate collecting songs in various places、Proverb、Myth、Legend, etc.,This is not just a matter of Bet365 lotto review interest in folk culture,Instead, I hope to use these folk cultural resources to transform the long -term nationality,Wake up the political consciousness of the public,Cultivate the social responsibility of ordinary people,Save the crumbling country。It can be said,At the beginning of the Chinese folklore learning,Double mission to undertake the enlightenment and salvation,Reflecting the care and social responsibility of Chinese folklore。

During the War of Resistance Against Japan,Folk scholars actively participate in revolution,Folk resources have become enthusiasm for anti -Japanese、Unite the people、Publicity Revolution Theory、Important media to maintain national unity。For example,Yan'an literary workers give full excavation and use of northern Shaanxi folk culture,Create a large number of influential works such as "White Mao Girl",Not only greatly enriched the cultural life of the war,It also promoted the party's policy、Theory and claims。

After the founding of New China,Folklore learning has become an important part of socialist cultural construction。For example,Folk scholars participate in the collection of minority folk literary works、Organization、Adapted and published work,Not only promotes the protection and inheritance of ethnic minority culture,And these literary works are combined with national identification work,I made important contributions to the cause of national unity and progress in New China。

Visible,Chinese folklore has always adhered to the people,Born for the people,Xing for the people,Always breathe with the people、Common Destiny。No exaggeration to say,"People's" is the "initial heart" of folklore learning,The development of the Bet365 app download development of Chinese folklore,The core concept of the development of Chinese folklore before leading reform and opening up。

 The dissolution of "people's nature" and the dilemma of contemporary folklore 

After reform and opening up,Discipline of folklore gradually recover。but,In the context of the influence of the Western social science paradigm and the transformation of Chinese social and cultural transformation,Folklore Studies gradually move towards theoreticalization、rationalization and empiricalization。This has improved the internationalization level of Chinese folklore,Improving the academic quality of Chinese folklore research,But there are obvious problems,Concentrated reflected in the following aspects。

First, the research object focuses on the edge group,Lack of overall observation。Contemporary folklore tendency to pay attention to edge groups,Their hard experience and tenacity,The core topic of becoming the attention of folklore scholars。No doubt,This reflects the humanistic care and social responsibility of folklore。but,This research path focuses on the edge group,Ignoring the overallness of Chinese society,Weakened the overall insight of folklore。

Second, the research content tends to be fragmented,Thinking of the lack of grand theme。With the rise of postmodern academic trends,Contemporary Folk Studies tend to pay attention to the fate and daily experience of ordinary individuals,Take the bottom -up path to observe historical culture and social reality。but,This research orientation is easy to move towards fragmentation,Just pay attention to micro,Lack of observation of macro research perspective。

Third, the research orientation tends to "look back",Ignore the dynamic development of society。Folklore research bet365 live casino games has a deep -rooted "looking back" tradition,Pay more attention to the past、Traditional social and cultural matters,Pay attention to the current social transformation and cultural changes seriously。

Fourth, the study concept is over -emphasized scientific rationality,Weakened value feelings。This seemingly objective and neutral attitude,Not in line with the actual situation of daily life,It also weakened the tradition of folklore learning。This research trend,It makes it difficult for the research of folklore to be transformed into application results,further weakening the development space of folklore。

These problems faced by folklore,Although there are many external factors,,But in the final analysis, it is still "dysplasia"。In traditional and modern、"Tear" under the theoretical and experience,Folklores have gradually lost development direction。The excellent academic tradition of Chinese folklore — "people's nature",Under the packaging of modern disciplines,Gradually eliminated。The consequence of this is the research concept of lack of core study of folklore research,Gradually converge with other social science research。but,Study vision、In theory and method,The difference between folklore and other social sciences is not obvious,Even there are obvious shortcomings,This has become a key problem that restricts the development of folklore。

  Highlighting the "people's nature" to build a folklore of Chinese characteristics 

Enter the new era,Folklores want to do something,Except in the subject system、academic system and discourse system,What's more important is to retrieve the "original intention" of folklore research - "people's nature",combined with the requirements of the times and social Bet365 app download development,Inject new content for it。Specifically,including the following four dimensions。

First,"Come from the people"。Folklore is created by the people、Life culture enjoyed and inherited,The people are the creators and inheritors of folklore。Folklore research should respect the main position of the people,Seeing the people is the creator of history。The people of the people and their daily life are not only the object on the study of folklore research,More folk learning provides rich sources of information。"Come from the people",Requires to establish a correct view of history in the study of folklore、Cultural Concert and Mass Opinion,This is the ontology of folklore research。

Second,"Go to the people"。Entering folklore research,Can't sit on the way,Instead, you must take the initiative to go to the people,Eat with the research object "、Live、Same labor ",Methods through field surveys,can we truly understand the experience of the people、Practice and emotion。Only this,can better understand the social environment and cultural background of folk customs。"Go to the people",Deepen the depth and breadth of field survey of folklore research,This is the methodology of folklore research。

third,"Let's be with the people"。Studies in folklore,Always adhere to the people's position,Keep relying on the people、benefit the people、The academic beliefs of the people's planting people。This requires,The study of folklore must start from the actual life of the people,To be realistic for truth、Knowing from the truth。"Let's be with the people",From the perspective of the people,Adhere to the academic path combining real problems research and research problems,This is the position theory of folklore research。

bet365 Play online games Fourth,"All for the people"。Studies in folklore,Close to society、Close to life、Close to the people,Strive to connect with national strategic needs,Improve social service capabilities,Transforming the research results of folklore into resources to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of folk customs,Constantly meet the people's longing for a better life。"All for the people",Clarify that the people are the highest standard for testing academic research,This is the practice theory of folklore research。

Folklore learning was originally a imported discipline,Western countries and society hidden behind、Tradition of two points for elites and folks。Bet365 app download development of Chinese Folk Studies,Based on absorbing the theory and method of western folklore science,It should be based on Chinese history tradition、Social reality and cultural genes,Highlight the attribute of "people's nature",This is both the characteristics of Chinese folklore different from the characteristics of Western folklore,It is also the only way to build folklore Chinese characteristics。

In short,Folklore is a close to the experience of ordinary people、Practice and Emotional Learning,Construction of nation -states upward,penetrate the daily life of the people,Both macro and microability、theoretical and empirical、Academic and popular features,In the docking national strategy,Service Social Development,Enriching people's life has a unique advantage。Return to the academic tradition of "people's nature",Discover the value of the era of "people's nature",Open "Folklore of the People",This is not only the inheritance and development of the excellent tradition of Chinese folklore,It is bet365 live casino games a new opportunity for the Bet365 app download development of Chinese folklore to develop in the times。
