Tourism,Host-Guest Interaction And Folk Customs Changes And Reconstruction

Kaifeng Night Market is an unbran folklore transmitted for thousands of years,which not only carries many folk cultures such as commerce,diet,language and entertainment,but also has become a way of life deeply rooted in the local people of Kaifeng.Specifically,Kaifeng people's daily life?leisure?entertainment,and emotional catharsis are closely related to the night market.Kaifeng also receives tens of thousands of tourists every day because of its profound cultural connotation and rich tourism resources carried by the "Seven Dynasties Ancient Capital".Especially since the reform and opening,along with the rise of folk tourism,tourists are gradually saying goodbye to the traditional tourism mode of "sleeping on the bus,urinating off the bus,taking pictures of scenic spots",and begin to focus on exploring the life patterns and customs of tourist destinations.Therefore,the night market,which represents the city culture of Kaifeng for thousands of years,has become the focus of folk tourism resources and the preferred destination for tourists to experience Kaifeng's "characteristics".Under the background of the development of folk tourism in Kaifeng,Kaifeng Night Market has dual identity and significance: it is not only the urban folklore shared by local residents,but also the "characteristic" tourism project experienced by tourists.In the field of night folk tourism,the interaction and game among tourists,cultural intermediaries and professional hosts have changed the traditional Kaifeng night market.Local residents are in the seemingly passive situation of "invasion" by tourists,namely the change or occupation of the original folklore space,but they have their own active attitude and choice,and finally reconstruct their night market folklore.This paper takes Kaifeng Night Market as the research object,and chooses many representative night markets in Kaifeng as the field investigation points,which is often visited by local people and is greatly influenced by tourism.On the basis of long-term field research,first of all,it traces back to the historical context of night folklore in Kaifeng,clarifies the tradition of which,and based on the current situation,focuses on the interpretation of night folklore in the context of local residents' daily life.Secondly,this paper uses the tourism gaze theory to analyze the interaction between the host and the guest in the night market under the background of folk tourism,and then explains the reasons,contents and process of the change of the night folklore under the influence of the host-guest interaction in the night market.The last part of the paper is mainly based on the theory of initiative to analyze how local residents reconstruct the night folklore in this "dilemma".The paper hopes to explore the general rules of folklore change and reconstruction in a certain sense through the case of Kaifeng night market.
