Prospect of Folklore Development of Folklore Scholars

During its development, China folklore has many shortcomings, even fatal defects. However, the development prospect of this subject is not bleak. Looking forward to the coming 2 1 century, the development of folklore is still full of opportunities.

Establishment of discipline status

First, the establishment of discipline status has laid a foundation for the future development of folklore society. From 65438 to 0997, after 80 years of introduction into China, folklore finally gained its own place in colleges and universities, and folklore gained the status of an independent discipline. This means that folklore can train its own master students and doctoral students in the future, instead of relying on the strength of other disciplines to train folklore talents (the so-called "backdoor laying eggs"). By the end of 1998, * * has been authorized by the state to train doctors and masters in folklore, including doctoral programs 1 and 8 master programs. 1in the autumn of 999, the first batch of master's and doctoral students enrolled in China entered colleges and universities in the name of folklore, marking that China has been on the right track in cultivating senior talents in folklore. After three to five years, a group of folklore talents who have undergone systematic academic training will enter the practical work department of society, and folklore will play a greater role in society.

Development of tertiary industry

Second, in the next century, the great development of many industries (especially the tertiary industry) in China will create a good environment for the survival of folklore, provide a broad world for the applied research of folklore, and provide employment opportunities for students who graduate from folklore, which will also promote the overall development of folklore to a certain extent.

China's industrial structure will still be greatly adjusted in the next century, and folklore will also benefit from this adjustment. For example, tourism will play an increasingly important role in the future national economy. The further development of tourism will inevitably provide a place for folklore talents, and applied folklore, tourism folklore and other disciplines closely related to practical application will also play a greater role.

Global economic integration

3. With China's accession to the World Trade Organization, the trend of global economic integration will certainly have an impact on China's political, economic and cultural development. In this respect, folklore will give full play to its own disciplinary advantages and have a positive impact on protecting its own national culture, understanding foreign cultures and promoting global trade.

Folk custom is the basic culture of a nation, which can best reflect the cultural essence of a nation. Therefore, folklore reveals the true meaning of national culture and summarizes the essence of national culture through the study of its folk culture, which will have a great impact on preserving its cultural tradition and resisting the invasion of foreign culture.

Under the situation of global economic integration, there will be more and more economic and trade activities across regions, nationalities and countries. To some extent, understanding the folk customs of different regions, nationalities and countries will become an important factor for the success of economic activities. Folklore research in this field will have a great impact on economic activities and bring direct benefits to economic development.

The motive force of economic development

Fourth, economic development to a certain extent will bring about great development of culture and education, which has been proved in developed countries. Our economy will develop to a certain level in the next century. By then, people's cultural awareness will be generally improved and their attention to folk culture will be significantly increased. Folklore will get due attention in the future development of social science.
