高有鹏《中国民间文学通史》笔谈

Pen Talk on the Research of The History of Chinese Folk Literature

高有鹏《中国民间文学通史》打破传统文学史单纯依据历史文献的方法与模式,大胆求索民间文学历史发展的多种脉络与线索,一方面在字里行间钩沉、疏证、辨析,一方面采用各种考古、文物材料,同时结合作者所做的社会调查与理论研究,提出"语域"、"神话群"等概念和新说,着力宣扬了中华民族宝贵的文化传统与民族精神,勾勒出了几千年来中国民间文学发展变化的轨迹。

Gao Youpeng breaks away in his The History of Chinese Folk Literature from the conventional narrative mode which bases on purely the historical literature.He probes,rather,on multiple clues of folk literary evolution,seeking evidences from scrutinizing and identifying among the sea of historical documents on the one hand,and combining the methods from other social sciences of archaeological studies and field research on the other hand,forming and putting forward the new concepts 'linguistic domain' and ' mythological clusters',and thus profiles the changing history and the unique spirit of Chinese folk literature.
