在诸多传统中,有一个最古老、最原始、也是最伟大的传统,那就是一直在成就伟大的作家和伟大的作品却一直被人忽视的民间文学传统。民间文学包括神话传说、民间故事、风物典故、民歌民谣、方言谚语,等等。从我们一出生它们就存在,它们产生的年代不详,也无确定作者,在民间自然流传。因为是乡野上的产物,不登大雅之堂,不被人看重,就像空气,人人呼吸,人人相忘。 Among the many traditions, one of the oldest, the most primitive, and the greatest, is the folklore tradition that has long been neglected by great writers and great works. Folk literature includes myths and legends, folk tales, allusions, folk songs, dialect proverbs, and so on. From the time we were born they existed, the age at which they were born was unknown, there was no definitive author, and nature was circulated among the people. Because it is the product of rustic, unruly, not be valued, just like the air, all breathing, everyone forget.
