民间文学的田野调查,单从技术层面上说,其实非常简单,诸如提问、记录、整理、归档之类的操作细则,半天就都学会了;难的是如何跟人打交道,而这又是根本教不了学不到的,因为田野就是社会本身,被调查的人也就是社会上的形形色色芸芸众生,并非在社会之外另外有一片时空叫做“田野”。所以田野调查就是社会阅历,所有前辈学者的成败得失,都只是你的镜鉴,绝不是你的准则,你只有靠自身摸爬滚打地去领悟,一如领悟你的自我人生。 Fieldwork of folk literature is very simple from a technical point of view. It has been learned for a long time, such as asking questions, recording, arranging, and filing. It is difficult to deal with people, and it is fundamental Can not teach can not be taught, because the field is the community itself, the people being investigated is all kinds of mortal beings in society, not in addition to the community there is a piece of space and time called “field ”. Therefore, the field investigation is the social experience, the successes and failures of all senior scholars, are only your Mirror, not your criteria, you only rely on their own to comprehend, as you realize your self life.
