説明
In the early years of the Republican era, a profound transformation in Chinese culture emerged, centered around the Modern Chinese Folklore Movement that took root at National Peking University between 1918 and 1926. Jie Gao delves into the dynamic interplay of tradition and modernity as intellectuals sought to preserve folk culture against the backdrop of rapid societal change.
Through rigorous examination, Gao highlights how this movement aimed not only to safeguard cultural heritage but also to shape national identity during a tumultuous period. By connecting folklore to issues of nationalism and sociopolitical reform, the narrative underscores the pivotal role that culture played in the quest for a cohesive national spirit in Republican China.
