建立中国民俗学学派论纲

Comment on the Establishment of Chinese Folklore School

建立中国民俗学学派是学科发展的自然要求 ,也有利于学科的进一步发展 ,同时还可以避免学术进程中的某些偏离正轨的倾向。民俗学在中国已有了相当悠久的历史 ,再加上许多学者的努力 ,目前已形成了中国民俗学的独特性格———多民族的一国民俗学。建设民俗学的中国派 ,其功用和目标在于清理中国各民族的民俗文化财富 ,增强国民的文化史知识和民族意识与感情 ,资助国家新文化建设的科学决策 ,丰富世界人类文化史与民俗学的宝库。拟议中的中国民俗学结构体系应包括理论民俗学 ,记录民俗学 ,历史民俗学等方面。今后的工作也应围绕着建设机构 。

As a natural demand of the development of discipline, the establishment of the Chinese Folklore school is beneficial to the further development of learning as well as to the avoidance of certain tendencies from the right path in the progress of learning.Folklore has a relatively long history in China and through the efforts of Chinese scholars,a unique Chinese characteristic has been formed in this discipline--multinational folklore. The establishment of Chinese Folklore school has the following functions and goals:to check up folk cultural riches of Chinese nationalities; to strengthen the people's knowledge of cultural history as well as national consciousness and emotions;to finance the scientific dicisions of national neo-cultural construction;to enrich the treasure-house of human cultural history and folklore of the world.The structural system of Chinese Folklore being discussed includes theoretical folklore, documentary folklore and historic folklore.The future work should centre on the establishment of institutions and solution of problems.
