Experts: SMS is a new folk custom but far less than a visit

Xinhua Beijing, February 10, experts Chen Lian 10th afternoon, said the interview, Beijing, in recent years, more popular "short message" and so can be regarded as a new folk, but the effect of a lot of difference.　　Associate Professor of Chinese Department of Peking University, Chen Lian, director of folk Literature and teaching section, 10th interview, the "fear of Family", "Widow Year", "Spring Festival Gala" and other hot topics were interpreted. Talking about in recent years in the very popular "SMS New Year", "The Internet", "the hotel to eat dinner", Chen Lian said, these should be counted as "neo-folklore." Because it is the public's own action.　　Family happily together, and to dinner in the name of Reunion dinner, (compared to the past) Just eat the place changed, the other no change, so this can be called folklore. How to define "new folklore"? Chen Lian said that the need to "have a fixed form of expression, to do so, fixed meaning, the meaning of behavior is the same, the purpose is the same, his activities are the same, of course, and he has a certain duration." "It cannot be said that the popularity of the next year is gone, this can only be fashionable, can not be called folklore." Folklore is stable, according to the requirements of classical folklore, is the European continent in the past 50 years ago, they define what is folklore, an activity can continue to extend three generations, can be called folklore.　　Each generation is 25, three generations can last 75 years, 75 years ago this activity, and now this activity is called folk activities.　　Chen Lian said, (SMS New Year this form) he is in the name of the new year, the content is all the content, but the exercise of a novel form, is the old folk custom. In Chen Lian's view, this form of SMS is actually not particularly important, although hair is particularly large, the number is particularly big. Spring Festival New Year information are billions of, 3 billion or billions of a year, but its effect is relatively weak, with the personal greetings, the severity of the difference is very far, the effect is very far. And why? Go in person, the person arrived, the person is in the human being, the person in that expresses you very solemn, very fancy this matter. Face-to-face communication and action voice communication, telephone communication, through the exchange of information, or through e-mail exchange, the effect is very far. The sender of the content is different, especially close to the person must go to the Spring Festival, or close to the very near must personally go. But far, there is no way, he will use text messages, the telephone to the year. Unwilling to see him, or two people just to remind, not enough iron, not close to the talent with this thing, or mass, the effect is necessarily poor.
