Why folklore is part of folk culture

Folklore and folk culture are closely linked, mainly in the following aspects:

1. Creation and dissemination: The creation and dissemination of folklore are often carried out in folk life, and are closely related to people's lives, customs, beliefs and so on. These folklore works are usually the crystallization of the collective wisdom of a community or a group, reflecting the customs, values and ways of production and life of that community or group.

2. Carrier of folk culture: Folk literature is an important carrier of folk culture, which carries the history, culture and traditions of a community or group through fables, legends, stories, ballads, proverbs and other forms. These folklore works play an important role in passing on and promoting folk culture.

3. Local Characteristics and Traditional Culture: The local characteristics and traditional cultural features of folk literature make it an important part of folk culture. Folklore in different regions often has unique local colors and national characteristics, reflecting the cultural differences and characteristics of different regions and nationalities.

4. The link of cultural inheritance: folk literature plays the role of a link in cultural inheritance. It is not only a carrier of traditional culture, but also a bridge connecting the past and present in modern society. Through folklore, people can learn about the history and cultural heritage of a community or group, and thus better understand and respect different cultures and traditions.

In summary, folklore and folk culture are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. It not only reflects the rich diversity of folk culture, but also embodies the important value of folk culture in inheritance and development.
