白族地区广泛流传着一种与木匠有关的散体叙事文学,有学者将其文类归入故事,或在论述时出现了传说和故事相混的现象。这些散体叙事明显具有传说的性质,可以分为巫术传说、“地方性知识”和木匠生活史三种基本形态,这三种基本形态各有其文化功能,而且常常相互交织在一起。 There is widespread dissemination of narrative literature about carpenters in the Bai region. Some scholars have classified their genres into stories, or there has been a mixture of legends and stories in the discussion. These scattered narratives are obviously legendary and can be divided into three basic forms: witchcraft, “local knowledge” and carpenter life history. Each of these three basic forms has its own cultural function and is often intertwined .
