Features: Folk culture is the oldest culture created by the masses, as its roots can be traced back to the earliest stages of human development; at the same time, folk culture is also the youngest culture, as it still thrives in the daily lives and conversations of the people. Folk culture is also the foundation of the entire social culture and possesses an extremely strong vitality, with elite culture often being the result of selection, transformation, and refinement of folk culture. Chinese folk culture is a cultural tradition passed down through generations, making significant contributions to the diversity of human culture. The Chinese Folklore Society hopes, through everyone's collective efforts, that the flowers of folk culture will bloom more vibrantly, winning our motherland and our Chinese nation an eternal spring.
Totem depicts a rather common "strange phenomenon" in the social organization, customs, and religious beliefs of human primitive society during the late Paleolithic and early Neolithic periods. It is a historical concept with important cognitive value and significance, serving as a significant research subject in disciplines such as cultural anthropology, ethnology, folklore, sociology, religious studies, and psychology.
