A Tentative Discussion on the Development of China's Folklore

Since the operation of reforms and opening up, China's folklore as a subject has been established, and the subject system of folklore study has also been set up. Its research is becoming larger and deeper, and the quality of the research is improving. Folklore methodology with Chinese characteristics has gradually come into being. But there exist many problems in this field. For example, (1) The publicity and popularization of basic knowledge and theories in folklore remain to be strengthened; (2) Though the basic research theories have been greatly developed, they do not meet the demands of the subject development; and (3) Folklore as a subject is understaffed and specialized research institutions need further enrichment.
