民俗:民众生活方式的模式化——民俗定义、性质新论

Folk Custom: the Modelization of People's Life Patterns

从生存活动的主体存在角度论述民俗的定义和性质是对传统民俗学客观化研究的反拨。民俗是人类在生存活动中为持存发展生命所创造、享用和传承的一种生活文化。民俗的文化结构的模态化证明 ,民众不仅生活在物质形态的文化中 ,更生存于精神信仰性观念文化中。人类与民俗相伴而生 ,从远古一直走到现代。民俗是民众的一种生活方式。

Discussing the definition and property of folk custom from the perspective of the living activities is a reflection on the objective study of the traditional folklore. Folk custom is a kind of living culture created, shared and inherited by man for maintaining survival and development in man's living activities. The modelization of the cultural structure of folk custom proves that people not only live in the culture in the form of physical matters but in the mental and spiritual and religious culture. Mankind exists side by side with folk custom up to now. Folk custom is a kind of life pattern.
