Abstract

As an important part of Burmese folk literature, Burmese folklore is an important cultural heritage of Myanmar, which is of multiple research values. This paper analyzes the classification of the stories of Edie, a witty Burmese character, using the AT classification method which is commonly used in the world. It holds that the story of the witty Burmese character Edie is a character that is good at fooling others, selfish, not afraid of power, contemptuous for gods, and goes against the secular order, reflecting his sly character. It is necessary for the academic community to summarize the types suitable for Burmese folk tales.
