The China Landscapes under the Global Perspectives:An Exploration of"Folklore Studies"of Fu Jen Catholic University
It is necessary to consider China's folklore as an,open system for exploring traditions and local knowledge.A revisit on Fu Jen Catholic University's collection edition"Folklore Studies"(1942-1952)may shed some useful light on us.Based on the position of"an academic bridge connecting East Asia with the West",the essays published are a crystallization of oriental and western academic contributions with a high scientific and disciplinary level.Under the global perspectives folklore achievements from various countries complement each other and effectively expand the academic hori-zons.Meanwhile,the journal,based on China and Chinese folklore,presents a vivid series of Chinese folklore landscapes and social realities empirically and documentarily,and furthermore adds to the holistic genealogy of Chi-nese folklore consciously through a blend of reflections and practice on dis-ciplinary ontology,epistemology,methodology and concrete methods.
