民间文学的发展阶段与特征变化

The Developmental Phase and Feature Change of Folk Literature

民间文学,作为中国文化的重要组成部分,其发展阶段为:人类产生以后、原始社会和图腾时期、奴隶社会、封建社会至解放前、中华人民共和国成立至1964年、文革十年、1977年至1982年、改革开发以来等八个阶段,民间文学的根本特征及外部特征变化主要表现为精英文学与民间文学并存并相互转化、口头流传与文字记录并存并相互转化、笑话和顺口溜将充当民间文学的主角、神话将在现代民间文学中退到次要位置。

Folk literature, as a most important part in Chinese culture, has undergone the following eight stages: primitive ; totemic, slavery, feudal society to the liberation; from the founding of PRC to the ten years of cultural revolution; from 1977 to 1982; from reform and open-door up to now. Its changes in basic and external features mainly show in mutual conversion and coexistence between quintessential literature and folk literature, between oral conveying and literal recordings. Jokes and doggerels act as the main characters and myth will recede into a minor position in modern folk literature.
