对不同民族而言,口耳相传的文化与文字记录的文化同样重要。在用文字记录的文化中,我们发现手抄本或称手稿文化在很多民族中扮演着重要的角色。在一些民族中出现了新型的传承人,他们不再以口耳相传为主要传承方式。这类新型传承人,我们将之称为“书写型”传承人。在电子媒介时代,他们对口头传统的传承起着越来越重要的作用。 For different ethnic groups, the culture of word-of-mouth culture is as important as the culture of written records. In the documented culture, we find that manuscripts or manuscript cultures play an important role in many ethnic groups. In some ethnic groups there have been new types of successors who no longer rely on word of mouth as their primary mode of succession. This new type of successor, we will call it “writing type ” successor. In the era of electronic media, they played an increasingly important role in the tradition of oral tradition.
