Abstract

Ethnic folklore is one of the forms of folk culture, which has certain constraints and regulatory functions for people. This form of folk culture is agreed upon by the people. Not only does it have a profound impact on the daily lives of a given era, but it will also subconsciously bring about changes in people’s mindsets. China has a long history and culture of ethnic folklore. In the historical sources of the Chinese nation, the most primitive ethnic folk cultures have emerged. Lu Xun’s “Blessing” contains traces of ethnic folk culture, whose content is set in the 1920s. The novel is interspersed with many ethnic folk cultures of the Shaoxing region of Zhejiang Province, with strong folkloric colours and reflecting the close relationship between ethnic folk culture and the common people in the old society of old China. This paper reflects on the profound connotation of national culture and its relationship with the fate of the characters through the exploration of rituals, clan power, marriage, and sacrificial beliefs.
