What is Folklore?
Folklore is all about people, their stories, their songs, their arts & crafts. Folklore is the practices, manners & customs by which they live. From folklore we gain an idea of how people looked, talked and what they did. Folklore may be divided into the following classes: |
FOLKWAYS: Ceremonies, customs, remedies, household hints, handicrafts, costumes, games, dances. FOLKSAY: Proverbs, puzzles, mottoes, diaries, local words and expressions, epitaphs, local sayings. FOLK BELIEFS: Supernatural occurrences, weather signs, dreams, omens, prophecies, planting beliefs. |
FOLK TALES: Legends, ghost stories, anecdotes about historical figures, places or events, fables, myths. FOLK VERSE: Childhood verse, descriptive verse about persons, places, objects, poems that are patriotic, religious or humorous, and love poems. FOLK SONGS: Songs about heroes, tragedies, ceremonies, games, work, political campaigns, tavern songs. |
