Extended data

The origin of China folklore movement is closely related to the advocacy of Cai Yuanpei and Lu Xun. Cai Yuanpei is a famous democratic revolutionist and educator in China. During his tenure as president of Peking University from 19 17 to 1922, he advocated scientific democracy and hired famous scholars such as Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Lu Xun and Liu Bannong progressive scholars, which made Peking University look brand-new. After being transferred to the president of Academia Sinica, he continued to promote his progressive ideas.

It has played an important role in enlightening, guiding and promoting the folk movement in China. In the half century from 1930s to the end of 1970s, scholars such as Lou Zikuang, Deng, Yang Chengzhi, Emperor Wen of Sui and Wang Jueling discussed the folklore movement in China by stages: Zheng was divided into two periods: 1935 (which he called "the times") because of his early writing time.

That is to say, "In the seventh year of the Republic of China, Peking University opened the era of vegetation. From the year of the Republic of China 167 to 22, Guangzhou Sun Yat-sen University cultivated and sowed, and it blossomed and bore fruit; Yang Chengzhi, Lou Zikuang and Wang Jueling are divided into three periods: Peking University, Zhong Da University and Hangzhou. Emperor Wen of Sui's A Brief History of the Folklore Movement in China, written in 1948, is divided into five periods, namely 1922- 1925, the origin of Peking University.

The heyday of Zhong Da University in Guangzhou 1928- 1930, the decline of Hangzhou 1930- 1935, the revival 1936- 1937, The Folklore of Beiping in Recent Nine Years.

Only when the folklore movement in China has developed for a long time can we examine, sort out and find a more objective and practical staging method from the height of the times.
