Research The Cultural Phenomenon In "Forever Love" Story Of The Ethnology

“Forever Love” is one of the legends of Bai nationality, which is not only has a long history, but also has different emphasis between different versions. I found that there are three aspects for the study of the legend after the relevant research: the different between texts, the interpretation of the perspective of mythology and the research of the related works. But to s study this legends in ethnology perspective is slightly lacking. Through the analysis of the legends of the various periods and regions, I found the version of the legend is numerous, but the basic structure of the independent and complete, more common and small differences. The reason of the difference of the production is mainly related to the natural and social environment. The west of Erhai Lake is a farming district, and the east of Erhai Lake is a fishing district. This difference leads two districts people to focus on different things, when they talk about this legend. Then, we can find this reason leads them to think of the different between themselves in the production life style, self and other cognitive. In another hand, Bai people gathering in Cang Mountain and Erhai area since ancient times. They have the same culture as their national identity, religious belief, and aesthetic connotation and so on. When these common cultural things are reflected in the legend, the legend has become the collective memory of the white tribe spread. This is the cause why the legend has common. This paper based on the previous foundation. And based the core theory of structuralism and bilateral opposite structure to study. Article uses the method of Ethnology to interpretation of this legend and the implication of the cultural images and so on.
