Features: This book is the first to conduct an artistic analysis and cultural exploration of traditional folk art from abroad, identifying the roots of similarities or commonalities between Chinese and foreign traditional folk art in terms of cultural functions and artistic elements. To some extent, it fills the gap in the research field of foreign folk art in China. Grounded in the commonalities and shared characteristics of folk art and cultural spirits in both Eastern and Western cultures, the book conducts a relatively comprehensive and in-depth study of the religious, belief, sorcery, folk customs, and traditional cultural connotations of traditional folk art from various countries in both the East and the West.
