Folklore is a young discipline in my country。If it is introduced from 1918 as a modern discipline,The history of the discipline of folklore just over a century。After 1918,Collection of folk literature、Set up、Research increased significantly,The content is also more colorful。These documents are from the perspective of genre,Roughly including mythological proverbs、Epic Well、folk story, etc.; From the perspective of category,It can be roughly divided into material folk literature、Social folk literature and faith folk literature。my country's folk culture has entered the vision of Western translator very early。If the French missionary Jinmin Pavilion in 1626 translates the "Book of Songs" in Latin and publishes it in Hangzhou,Western translations and Western history of Chinese folk literature have been nearly 400 years.。During this period,Many western missionaries、Sinologists and people from all walks of life through translation and writing,introduce Chinese folk culture to the West。Judging from the translation and dissemination of folk literature,It can be roughly divided into a budding period、Development period、growth period and prosperity period。
During the budding period (1626-1845): Westerners' attention to Chinese folk customs can be traced back to the missionary in China in the early Qing Dynasty。Their folk beliefs of China during the missionary process、Customs habits and myths and legends have produced bet365 live casino games interests,and translate some folk literature into the West。

Generally speaking,Missionary "The first to open Westerners' research on Chinese folklore research",Russia and German scholars who first translated ethnic minority epic also contributed。With their hand,my country's folk literature began to introduce bet365 live casino games to the West,This laid the foundation for the later Europe's research boom。
During the development period (1846-1917): 1846,The Qing court abolished the banning order。In the same year,British scholar Thoms proposed to establish "folklore",This discipline quickly developed in Europe。At the same time,Sinology in Europe has also become a discipline in modern universities。So,The missionaries who come to China can be more scientific、More objective attitude to observe、Records and translation of Chinese folk culture。During this period, except epic and rumors,The content of the translation of Western people has begun to involve myths, legends and folk belief literature。
In terms of epic rumors,During this period, more translations of the Book of Songs emerged,Especially in 1911 French Sinologist Ge Lan Yan chose and translated "Book of Songs · Guofeng" 68 songs,Published in the name of "Ancient Chinese Festival and Ballad",The purpose of the festival customs with a clear inspection of the pre -Qin period。other,The epic "Manas" of our country's Kirgiz nationality also attracted the attention of Russian scholars,Two Russian translations appeared。

During the prosperity period (1979 to the present): since the reform and opening up,The translation and dissemination of Chinese folk literature has entered a prosperous period。With the implementation of the Chinese culture "going global" project,Support for national policy、Fund support and multi -party collaboration,In recent years,There are already many classic works, including folk literature, have been translated into foreign languages and promoted to the outside。
In terms of epic rumors,The Book of Songs of Chinese Scholars has emerged in large quantities,As Yang Xianyi、Translations of Wang Rongpei and Xu Yuanchong and others。The Shaanxi folk song "Northwest Echo" translated by Chinese scholar Wang Hongyin was published in 2009。Ethics of ethnic minorities,American scholar Robert Dankef in 1983 translated the Uyghur epic "Fule Wisdom"。Later, the three major epic "Gesar", "Jiang Gel" and "Manas" in my country also appeared in multiple English translations,Some of which are translated by domestic scholars。2019,The Tujia epic translated by scholars in our country and "Tima Song" and "Swing Song" were published by bet365 best casino games Foreign Research Institutes。
