[quote=RITA ,25719]Hi Dykhmily,folklores/ foletales(民间传说) are anecdotes handed down orally from generation to generation, during the coming down, usually you can't find them in records of official history, or if there was any trace, they are widely divergent. Due to the nature of yearning towards better life, people keep putting more elements into the already fantastic stories. They are becoming more and more beautiful but further and further from the practical life...Folk customs(民间习俗) to me are much close to everyday life, as those taboos and dos and donts during traditional holidays, like Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival ... The differences between folklores and folk customs are the differences between "-lores" and "custom", especially in CHinese[/quote]
