讲述还是书写——非典型性的满族民间故事家

Oral Transmission or Writing ——Untypical Manchu Folk Storytellers

我国民间故事的讲述传统有上千年的历史,那些优秀的故事家大多籍籍无名。直到20世纪80年代,故事家在三套集成的搜集整理中崭露头角,引起了学者的关注。这些故事家中,口头讲述者居多,但也有多位故事家不仅可以讲述故事,更擅长笔述、书写故事。有学者认为他们不具有典型意义,但笔者认为这些故事家的出现有其独特的价值,其故事亦具有内在特质。

The tradition of folkstory telling has a history of thousands of years, but most of the outstanding storytellers are unknown to the world. It was not until the 1980 s that storytellers came to prominence in the collection and arrangement of three sets of integrated works, attracting the attention of scholars. Among those storytellers, most are oral narrators, but there are also ones who are not only good at telling stories, but can also write them down. Some scholars believe that they are not typical storytellers. However, we believe that the emergence of this group of storytellers has its own unique value in terms of academic research, and the stories that storytellers told and wrote have their own intrinsic characteristics.
