Features: Folklore is a product that runs through the trajectory of time, while literature is the trace of the author's inner world. "Folklore·Literature·Psychology" essentially attempts to dissect the essence of literature and folklore through psychology, further clarifying the relationship between folklore, literature, and psychology, and can be considered a crystallization of the author's creative work. I first met Qiangui in the editorial department of "Minsheng Daily." At that time, he came to apply for an editorial position. Perhaps due to the busy nature of the newspaper, we didn’t have the chance to talk in depth, but I only felt that he was a sincere, idealistic, energetic, and passionate writer who excelled in planning and had a deep interest in parenting education.
As someone once said, folklore is a product that runs through the trajectory of time, while literature is the trace of the author's inner world. Essentially, I agree with this statement, but if one wants to explore and analyze this idea in a series, it is far from easy. Especially when it comes to further clarifying the relationship between folklore, literature, and psychology, it is even more challenging. Yet, Qiangui was willing to spend three years reading relevant materials, visiting rural areas and forests, and compiling it into a book—such dedication is truly admirable.
The book "Folklore·Literature·Psychology" has now been published and is about to be released. I believe it will be a valuable read for the general public, and for fellow researchers in the field, it holds significant reference value. The book explores the relationship between folklore, literature, and psychology. Its main content includes "Observing the Ghostly World of 'Guan Luo Yin'"; the dialogue between yin and yang—invoking the spirits of the deceased; exploring the world of "spirit mediums"; and how things take a turn for the better.
