On the Revival and Transmission of an Ancient Myth--An Investigation Report of Linjun Myth in Changyang

Through diachronic and synchronic studies and the systematic method, based on fieldwork, this article investigates the transmission track of Linjun myth in Changyang, which furnishes a case for explicating the contemporary features of transmission of folk literature. These features include two main points. First, the subjects turn conscious instead of being spontaneous. Second, the times-spanning route and the feedback route have arisen. In the end of the article, the author puts forward several questions that need discussing, such as the effect of the modern media on the transmission of folk literature, the relationship between folk literature and development of tourist trade, the comments on fakelore and so on.
