This book mainly addresses the position, function, influence, and
values of folk oral literature in the history of Chinese
literature. Divided into 14 chapters, it systematically covers
central aspects of folklore literature such as ballads, folk songs,
Bianwen, Zajuci, Guzici, Zhugongdiao, Sanqu, Baojuan, Tanci,
Zidishu, and so on from the Pre-Qin to the late Qing Dynasties,
filling several gaps in literary history studies. It is a
comprehensive literary work, and many of the materials cited here
are rare and difficult to find. In addition, the book proposes some
important theories, especially six highly generalized qualities of
folk literature, namely that it is: popular, collective, oral,
fresh, effusive, and innovative. With detailed, extensive
materials, and quotations, the book represents the most systematic
and comprehensive work to date on ancient Chinese folk literature.
It is mutually complementary with Guowei Wang's A Textual Research
of the Traditional Chinese Opera in the Song and Yuan Dynasties and
Xun Lu's A Brief History of Chinese Fiction; all three works are
regarded as the most essential classics for researching the history
of Chinese literature.
