Oral tradition can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. The former refers to all forms of oral communication, while the latter refers to communication methods and oral art in traditional society. Anthropology and folklore have a long academic history in the study of oral tradition, and both of them pay attention to the field investigation, recording, observation, description, collection and analysis of the basic materials of folk oral communication, that is, the study of oral culture ontology. Anthropology has always been concerned about the history of a society without words, and has accumulated a lot of research experience in studying the oral traditions of various ethnic groups and their long-term inheritance. Folk literature or oral literature, such as myths, legends, ballads, proverbs and riddles, is also regarded as the core of the discipline, and "oral" is also one of the important characteristics of folk literature. Although they have their own unique research direction, they also have a * * * vision in focusing on the collection, investigation and research of oral traditional materials.

Many people are not familiar with the just-started intangible cultural heritage project in UNESCO World Heritage, but the world has begun to put oral folk cultural heritage on a new historical agenda. Intangible cultural heritage, also known as intangible cultural heritage, mainly refers to folk cultural (artistic) heritage which is non-verbal, mainly oral, with national historical accumulation and extensive outstanding representation. China, as an ancient country with farming civilization, has an endless culture of 8,000 years and rich intangible cultural heritage. If Chinese civilization has a long history, it is first embodied in the living folk cultural tradition. In fact, in our vast territory, many remote villages still rely on oral cultural traditions to survive, which is a familiar and surprising reality.
