少数民族文学史编纂语境下“民间文学”问题研究——基于何其芳的讨论

Research on “Folk Literature” in the Context of Minority Literature Compilation——Based on He Qifang’s Discussion

1949年前,我国文学史主要为汉族文学史,对于少数民族文学史编写关注不够。20世纪50年代初期,我国少数民族社会历史调查工作广泛开展,少数民族文学受到重视,少数民族文学史的编纂工作被国家纳入社会主义文化建设事业。何其芳,作为编写少数民族文学史的首倡者,坚持用历史唯物主义的批判精神看待民间文学,从民间文学材料搜集、材料鉴别到史书内容编定等诸多方面提出具体的指导性意见,成为推动中国现代民间文学理论建设的重要人物。

Before 1949, the history of Chinese literature was mainly Han literature, and the compilation of the history of ethnic minorities was not paid enough attention to. In the early 1950 s, the social and historical investigation of ethnic minorities was carried out extensively in China, and the literature of ethnic minorities received great attention. He Qifang, as the initiator of writing the history of ethnic minority literature, insists on using the critical spirit of historical materialism to view folk literature, puts forward specific guiding opinions from the collection and identification of folk literature materials to the compilation and compilation of historical books, and becomes an important figure in promoting the theoretical construction of modern Chinese folk literature.
