What kind of "folklore" is considered pseudo-folklore?

Folklore plus a "pseudo", sounds disgusting. However, to say clearly what is "pseudo" folklore, it is necessary to understand what is the "real" folklore. Folklore, i.e. folk customs, refers to the cultural life created, enjoyed and handed down by the general public in a country or nation. Through this short definition, you can immediately understand what kind of cultural matters belong to folklore. Take a simple example - the Dragon Boat Festival. As a traditional festival with a long history, the Dragon Boat Festival has inherited a large number of traditional folklore, including historical events, legends and stories, national spirit, folk beliefs, poems and songs related to the Dragon Boat Festival, as well as folk activities used to express the cultural connotations of the Dragon Boat Festival. -Dragon Boat Race, Zongzi, drink xionghuang wine, making scented sachets; also includes the festival used in all the reality of the goods - dragon boat, Zongzi, etc., the content of the Dragon Boat Festival, whether it is a spiritual cultural phenomenon or objects of special significance, is by the masses of our nation in the long years of collective creation, collective enjoyment, **. They are all called "folklore" because they have been created collectively, enjoyed collectively, and passed down by the masses of our nation over a long period of time. Bu'ou said "pseudo-folklore", I think refers to these years, due to tourism development, or the development of the so-called "cultural industry" created by some of the "national festivals", or "cultural tourism". "Cultural tourism" projects. These "folklore" is in fact to enhance the interest of tourists, increase the experience of the tourist process of the performance, as long as the above mentioned Dragon Boat Festival a little comparison, we can see that they are far from the real folklore. Folklore is folklore, and it is alive and well in our cultural system, developing with us. The so-called "pseudo" folklore is just a cultural performance labeled as "folklore," and that's it.
