In the increasingly individualized modern society,the individual-care-oriented approach in folklore studies holds significant practical value.Self-identity in daily life is an important dimension to indicate individual well-being and experiences,geared towards addressing some key questions like"Who am I?","How should I organize my life?"and"What is the meaning of life?"Folklore in traditional society functioned as a culture to serve daily life to help create individual identity by enhancing family and local identity,guiding individuals'daily practices by internalizing everyday knowledge,and attributing meaning to daily life by interpretation and expression of values.As a result,folk culture in contemporary society can help reshape residents'self-identity through community-building efforts,prioritizing promoting social relationship rebuilding,utilizing everyday knowledge to enhance daily practices,and leveraging narratives to interpret the positive meaning of daily life.
