The Significance and Value of Studying Lingnan Folk Stories

Folklore has been widely valued by people for its unique value, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects: Folklore has important historical value. Folklore is centered on objective reality and contains people's evaluation of various historical figures or events. It is an important carrier of their historical views and feelings, so people often refer to folklore as "oral history". Secondly, folk customs have a strong practical function: folk customs are generally centered on local cultural landscapes, celebrity relics, mountains and rivers, and are the main resources of local tourism. The story around the legendary core makes the static objective reality more spiritual, makes the dead historical figures still wander among the local scenery, makes the people pursue the distant past from reality, and strengthens people's love for life. Third, folk customs are conducive to our deep understanding of local culture and national spirit. Folklores with strong local characteristics describe people, scenery and customs. The legend is simple and pure, full of local flavor, and full of charm by telling the dialect and its use. They describe the silent historical landscape brilliantly, which makes people naturally rise a kind of local complex that loves their homeland between the lines of legends. ...
