Spatial Presentation Of Folk Narration ——The Study On Guilin Local Scenery Legend

The topic of this paper focuse on the scenery legends in Guilin.Taking the existing story samples of text records and oral narration as the main research object,this paper explore the characteristics of folk narration in Guilin,a unique regional space.Before discussing these stories,classify them according to the story types of these scenery legends,and explore the motif of all kinds of stories and the reasons for the generation of story connotation,so as to explore the commonality.Taking the scenery legends in Guilin,a typical landscape tourism city,as a point,this paper attempt to expand to a wider range of folk narrative research.The first part is the Guilin local scenery legend as a spatial presentation form.It briefly summarizes the relevant records of ancient scholars on the Scenery Legend and customs in Guilin,as well as the contemporary integrated texts of legends and stories in Guilin,such as the records of the south of the five ridges,the answer outside the ridge,and the records of Guilin customs.Some of these works are lost,and the records of scenery legends are not systematic and detailed.We can only find them from the description of scenery,customs and other relevant contents,and explore the development context of legends from the changes of ancient and modern times.And classify the collected stories through the existing story type index bibliography.The second part is the story type and main motif of the scenery legend.The folklore produced in the regional space of Guilin is sorted out by using the story type index classification method,and several motifs with obvious regional characteristics are summarized.The generation of these story types and motifs is closely related to the natural conditions discussed later and the space of historical evolution.The third part is an overview of the natural and social space in Guilin,and how to produce a unique Guilin Folklore under such realistic conditions.Guilin has a humid and hot climate,mostly karst landforms,and the available cultivated land area is small.Before being brought into the unified jurisdiction of the central government,there are many frictions and wars among various ethnic groups.Under such conditions,many wind and scenery legends in Guilin will be related to wars,natural disasters,mountains and rivers.It is because of the unique mountain landscape in Guilin that the story of Qin Shihuang’s construction of the Great Wall has derived unique folk stories.The fourth aspect is the guidance of social emotional consciousness in legends.It mainly discusses the formation and change of ethnic mentality under the change of history,and how the moral category in these legends is reflected in the legends in the regional space of Guilin.Guilin is too far away from the centralized jurisdiction of all dynasties,so it is less affected by the change of dynasties or political policies.From the folk narration of Guilin,we can not see a complete historical development context,in which the ages of more historical figures are also far apart.These historical memories are fragmented in folk literature.The fifth part is about the scenery legends and folk beliefs in Guilin.Folk beliefs are an important manifestation of people’s psychology in space,which can reflect people’s general psychological demands and life vision under the same living space.For example,Buddhism was introduced into China from the Han Dynasty,and with the passage of time,it had an impact all over the country,and slowly produced branches and changes.From the local scenery and legends in Guilin,Buddhism should become the most influential and most popular belief among the local people in Guilin,Guangxi.Buddhism was not introduced in the early Qin Dynasty,but the image of Guanyin appeared many times in the legend of Qin Shihuang and driving the mountain whip.From the materials we now have,it should be that after the influence of Buddhist belief is more extensive,this religious belief was later added to these legends in the process of folk spread.In these legends,the images of gods under different beliefs such as Buddhism and Taoism are often mixed together,which also reflects the complexity of local folk beliefs.In addition to the value of Guilin local legends as folk literature discussed in this paper,these scenery legends can also reflect the cultural symbols that can best reflect the folk characteristics of a region,such as people’s life,weddings and funerals or food characteristics in Guilin,such as tombs and blessed land stories that account for a large proportion in scenery legends.Local cuisines in Guilin,such as Sanhua wine and Guilin rice noodles,have been added to historical figures such as Qin Shihuang,and even some stories will be linked with immortals,which is also the embodiment of integrating spiritual sustenance into daily life.These legends and stories created by the people at the bottom have played a role in enriching the spiritual life in the process of spreading,and have become one of the sustenance of people’s life in the era of lack of material conditions.After the gradual development of tourism in Guilin,these scenery legends have gradually separated from the daily life of ordinary people and become one of the auxiliary cultural symbols of tourism.
