Mr. Ma Xueliang’s contribution to the study of Chinese minority languages ​​and cultures is comprehensive，Not only left a rich and valuable academic legacy in the field of ethnolinguistics，Also made great achievements in the field of folklore，Served as Vice Chairman bet365 ohio promo code Chinese Folklore Society、Vice Chairman bet365 ohio promo code Chinese Folk Literature and Artists Association and other positions。This is due to his set of field collection methods of "collecting folk customs and interpreting Yi scriptures"。Reviewing Mr. Ma’s journey from study to scholarship、The experience of becoming a leader in the field of national language，It can be clearly seen that the older generation of scholars have been deeply involved in the folk affairs、Working methods rooted in the field。

According to Mr. Ma Xueliang’s memories，When I first entered the Chinese Department of Peking University in 1934，He most likes to listen to Mr. Hu Shi’s "History of Vernacular Literature" course，Because "for the first time, folk literature was introduced into university classrooms，Attracted the common people who drive foreign trucks to come and listen”，This laid the ideological foundation for his later development of academic methods that went deep into the masses of all ethnic groups to learn about bet365 ohio promo code。

　After the "July 7th Incident"，During the more than 3,000-mile "little long march" of moving the school to Kunming on foot，Ma Xueliang serves as a famous poet、Assistant of scholar Wen Yiduo，Mr. Wen Yiduo in folk literature、Insights in mythology made him realize，The study of "The Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci" is inseparable from the understanding of folk customs，The dialects of various places contain the "extreme words of ancestors" from ancient books、Exotic language”。An ancient linguistic phenomenon that has disappeared in many modern languages，All are preserved in oral literature or folk customs；Especially the study of ethnic languages ​​that are mostly unwritten，Cannot rely entirely on language data to solve the problem，Must seek folk literature、Verification of folklore and even historical archaeological data。The experience of "Hunan, Guizhou and Yunnan Tour Group" collecting scenery along the way，Ling Ma Xueliang on folklore、Ethnology、Anthropology、Have a preliminary understanding of culture, etc.，It also made him determined to walk out bet365 ohio promo code study and the pile of old papers、The belief in collecting first-hand information from the vast land。Since then，As a Han scholar, he has an indissoluble bond with minority studies。

After being admitted to Peking University as a postgraduate student majoring in phonological exegesis in 1939，Ma Xueliang was mentored successively by two bet365 ohio promo code "Three Giants" in the early Chinese linguistics community - Mr. Luo Changpei, who majored in Chinese phonology, and Mr. Li Fanggui, who majored in human linguistics，Under the academic training of “Chinese and Western”，Ma Xueliang internalized in-depth folk recording and customs into basic scientific research skills。In 1940, he went to Lunan County, Yunnan Province with Li Fanggui for investigation，Ma Xueliang systematically studied his mentor’s ideas and methods for conducting Indian language surveys in the United States，It also strengthened his determination to embark on the path of Yi language research。During this field trip，Ma Xueliang read "The Golden Bough" and other anthropological masterpieces while collecting stories，Thinking deeply about the pronunciation of Yi language、Vocabulary、Grammar and folk songs、Old proverbs、Folk customs、Religious rituals、The relationship between myths and legends，After that, he not only completed his graduation thesis "Grammar bet365 ohio promo code Sani Luo Language" (published by the Commercial Press in 1951)，Also published many papers on folklore research such as "A Summary bet365 ohio promo code Types of Luo Sacrifice Scriptures", "The Totem System Seen from the Names bet365 ohio promo code Yi Clan", "The Funeral System bet365 ohio promo code Xuanwei Luo Baiyi" etc.。

After graduation in 1941，Ma Xueliang stayed to work in the Minority Language Group bet365 ohio promo code Institute of History and Linguistics, Academia Sinica，He went to Wuding, Yunnan in September of that year、Luquan conducts inspection。During this trip, he discovered the "heavenly book" that is difficult for ordinary Yi people to read at the home bet365 ohio promo code chieftain of Maolian Township-the Old Yi Scripture，The scriptures involve scripture sacrifice、divination、Celestial Calendar、Genealogy、History、Ethics、Myth、Poetry、More than a dozen types of content including translations，To crack the mystery，Ma Xueliang visited "Bai Pao" (the wizard who presided over the ritual) to seek advice。When recalling this experience, he said: "I got a literate teacher，More difficult than seeking immortality in the East China Sea。”While working tirelessly from village to house day after day，Ma Xueliang combines Yi classics with local customs、Combined analysis of historical religion and social conditions，I also came into contact with many etiquette and customs that are rare for outsiders，"One bet365 ohio promo code Black Yi Customs - Eliminating Evil Spirits", "Night Party of Young Men and Women", "The Totem System Seen from the Names bet365 ohio promo code Yi Clan", "The Funeral System bet365 ohio promo code Xuanwei Luo Bai Yi", "Southwestern Xundian Black Yi Papers such as "Records of Sacrificial Rituals and Customs" and "A Summary bet365 ohio promo code Types of Sacrifice Sutras in Luo Culture" are all "by-products" of his research on Yi during this period.。Precisely because the records in the Yi Jing are related to the daily habits bet365 ohio promo code Yi people、Mental state and other mutual confirmation，Ma Xueliang has a profound understanding bet365 ohio promo code Yi scriptures。When translating "Luo Wen Zuo Zhai Sutra Translation and Annotation" and "Luo Wen Zuo Sutra Translation and Annotation of Sacrificial Medicine and Animal Offerings"，Not only can he add annotations several times the number of translated words，There are also live scenes bet365 ohio promo code sacrificial ceremony drawn before each scripture。

"Explanation of ancient and modern idiosyncrasies" and "common folk idioms" complement each other，Throughout Ma Xueliang’s scientific research career from studying to teaching。After briefly teaching in the Department of Eastern Languages, Peking University，He was invited by the Central Ethnic Affairs Commission，In 1951, he was transferred to the newly established Central University for Nationalities as deputy director bet365 ohio promo code Chinese Department，Started building a relationship、Compiling teaching materials at the same time，Enrollment with one hand、Focus on the foundational work of cultivating teachers。In nearly half a century of teaching career at the People’s College bet365 ohio promo code People，Ma Xueliang led teachers and students to ethnic areas with difficult conditions again and again to collect language materials and customs，Developed a regular field survey internship system for college students to go deep into ethnic minority areas，And continue to improve the interdisciplinary comprehensive research mechanism in practice。It can be said，Mr. Ma Xueliang’s foundational contribution to the study of Chinese minority language and literature "to open up mountains and forests"，Full bet365 ohio promo code hardships of "difficult roads and blue strands" in field collecting in ethnic minority areas。Rich field research experience has yielded fruitful results，While publishing a large number of outstanding works on ethnolinguistics，Widely involved in folklore、Ethnic literature and even religious studies，Completed the writing of "Collection of Research on Etiquette and Customs of Yi Nationality in Yunnan", "Collection of Suyuan", "Collection of Ethnic Studies", etc.。Especially when the "Collection of Research on Etiquette and Customs bet365 ohio promo code Yi Nationality in Yunnan" was published in 1983，Mr. Ma Xueliang once again stated in his preface that "researching Yi classics"，You must first understand the etiquette and customs bet365 ohio promo code Yi people。Interpreting the Bible through etiquette and customs，The scriptures are self-evident，On the contrary, the scriptures explain the basis of etiquette and customs，The concept of collecting styles to better understand the origins of etiquette and customs。Not only proficient in the "Book of Heaven" but also familiar with etiquette and customs，This is what Mr. Ma Xueliang is most praised by later generations of scholars，However，Such an achievement cannot be achieved solely by relying on talent and attainments，Being down-to-earth for decades、Accumulated through unremitting folk field research。

Mr. Ma Xueliang is “a practical man”，In a lifetime of learning and thinking ，Persistently combine linguistics and folklore research，On-site inspection of folk customs，Reinterpret classics using etiquette and customs，Not only hosted and participated in the national ethnic minority language survey，Also proposed a series of collections、Record、Organization、Scientific methods for studying the folk customs of ethnic minorities；Not only has written numerous works in the field of Chinese ethnolinguistics，Cultivation of pillars in ethnic language teaching and research activities，Personally practice "according to folk customs to interpret Yi scriptures"，To improve the accuracy of field collecting training、Scientific and interdisciplinary comprehensive development trend，Laid the foundation of folklore with Chinese characteristics。Mr. Ma Xueliang is down-to-earth、Seeking truth、The pragmatic academic style is worthy of serious study by the new generation of scholars，Taken over the “family heirloom” from field collecting，Daxing Survey and Research Style，Write the thesis on the motherland，Write knowledge into the hearts bet365 ohio promo code masses。
