At the turn of the century, history has given us an opportunity to summarize the century-long development of folkloristics. By compiling scattered published papers, time-tested classic articles, and hard-to-find valuable materials into a collection and making them public, more people can learn about the development and achievements of Chinese folkloristics over the past century. This series holds significant academic and theoretical value for the advancement of Chinese folkloristics in the 21st century.
