Features: Folklore is a discipline that studies various folk customs. Its establishment and development in China have gone through more than half a century and a tortuous path. Currently, this discipline is developing in breadth and depth, attracting increasing attention from more and more people in the country. To inherit and promote the excellent folklore heritage of all ethnic groups in China, foster mutual understanding and unity among them, and to meet the needs of folklore discipline construction in China, a large-scale series titled "Folklore Library" has been published, and an editorial board has been established. This series will focus on introducing the customs and traditions of China's 55 ethnic minorities, including their housing, diet, clothing, production, transportation, marriage, family, villages, festivals, funerals, religion, morals, etiquette, oral literature, etc. To promote the development of ethnic theory research, the series will also appropriately include influential monographs and translations on folklore from domestic and international scholars.
