How to understand the connotation of national folklore and what is its tourism value?

Folklore originated from the needs of group life in human society, and constantly formed, expanded and evolved in specific nationalities, times and regions, serving people's daily lives. Once folk customs are formed, they become the basic force to regulate people's behavior, language and psychology, and also an important way for people to acquire, inherit and accumulate cultural achievements.

Folk culture, that is, folk culture, refers to the life culture created, enjoyed and inherited by the broad masses of people in a country or nation. In the past, for various reasons, some folklorists confined their research on folklore to a narrow scope. For example, the Folklore Handbook 19 14 published by the British Folklore Society said: "What attracts the attention of folklorists is not the shape of the plow, but the ceremony held when the tiller pushes the plow into the soil; It is not the structure of fishing nets and harpoons, but the taboo that fishermen abide by when entering the sea; It is not to build bridges or houses, but to sacrifice in the construction process and the social life of building users. " (Baulny, 1995: 1) The above statement simply equates folk culture with spiritual culture (folk belief), which makes the scope of folk culture too narrow. In fact, folk culture permeates material production and life, social organization, system and spiritual consciousness (especially oral folk literature).

National cohesion is a kind of national cohesion, and it is a force that unites national members.

People of the same nationality have a sense of racial affinity and cultural identity. * * * The same culture is the foundation and source of the same psychological quality, which is the concentrated embodiment of the same culture in the ideological field and its core part. Therefore, the same folk culture makes people form the same psychological quality, which is reflected in culture, that is, sense of identity. With a sense of identity, national cohesion is formed on this basis, and national cohesion is the existence of the nation.
