What is Folklore?

未名扁舟

"Folk" can refer to any group of people—from any economic, religious, generational, or ethnic background—who share a common interest. We are all members of folk groups. As a form of communication, folklore is created when people interact with one another. "Lore" represents the knowledge and artistry of a group in forms such as stories and jokes, art, architecture, music, dance, custom, belief, ritual, and festival. People throughout the world use folklore in their daily lives—in times of crisis, celebration, and change. It is displayed; in legends about politicians, protest songs or urban street paintings, and in hundreds of other forms of expression. Folklore interprets, diffuses, or incites pressure points in modern society.
