民间故事告诉我们:还是穷了好——试说中国民间故事的负面影响

Folk Stories Tell Us:It is Beneficial To Be Poor ——Trial remark on the negative effect of folk stories

中国民间故事,有的表现为"穷人最聪明"、"穷人的品行最高尚",有的表现为"美丽的姑娘只嫁给穷人"、"神仙帮助的都是穷人"等,这些内容表面是在同情或赞扬劳苦大众的,而实际上是传达了这样的信息:还是穷了好;越穷越光荣。这种副作用,值得我们警惕和反思。

With regard to the folk stories of China,some of them tell that 'the poor are very clever','the poor have high moral character';some of them appear as ' the beautiful girls only marry to the poor','fairies all help the poor'.Such contents seem to sympathize or praise toiling masses,but in reality are to give such information as it is better to be poor;the poorer,the more glorious.Such negative action is worth being vigilant and rethinking.
