Reflections on the development status of Chinese folk literature

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-01-29

Chinese folk literature, a rich and colorful field, is now facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. From home to abroad, the development of folk literature is thought-provoking.

In recent years, the development of Chinese folk literature has shown a trend of diversification. Various folk tales, legends and traditional Xi customs have gradually taken on a new look under the impact of modernization. These stories and legends not only carry the cultural genes passed down from generation to generation, but also reflect the realities of contemporary society.

On the one hand, folk literature is gradually moving towards digitization and networking. For example, various folk tales and legends have been widely disseminated on the Internet, through the form of **, audio and text, so that more people know and love. At the same time, some traditional folk art forms, such as opera and quyi, have also been revitalized with the help of digital technology.

On the other hand, folk literature is also facing a trend towards commercialization. Some businesses use elements of folk literature to develop tourism, cultural and creative products, injecting new vitality into folk literature. But at the same time, it also brings some problems. In order to pursue commercial interests, some merchants tamper with folk tales and legends at will, causing them to lose their original cultural connotation. Such behaviour should cause us to be vigilant and reflective.

Abroad, Chinese folk literature has also received more and more attention. Through translation, publication and exhibitions, Chinese folk literature has spread around the world. This not only strengthens the cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, but also provides a broader space for the inheritance and development of Chinese culture.

In the face of the development of folk literature, it is indispensable to strengthen protection. For those folk art forms that are on the verge of being lost, effective measures should be taken to protect and pass them on. Second, driving innovation is key. On the basis of retaining the essence of traditional culture, combined with modern aesthetic and scientific and technological means, we will promote the innovative development of folk literature. It is also very important to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation. Through cultural exchanges with all over the world, Chinese folk literature can be made more dazzling on the international stage.
