Does folklore belong to the category of Chinese language and literature? If the postgraduate entrance examination chooses this direction, what are the prospects?

Folklore is different in different schools. As far as I know, folklore is closely related to Chinese in Beijing Normal University, Shandong Normal University and East China Normal University, and folklore in these schools is often closely related to folk literature. In schools like Zhongshan and Renmin University, the folk customs are close to anthropology and sociology, but it is not impossible for students to learn Chinese. It's best to ask teachers of related majors when choosing. In recent years, the trend of folklore fever is obvious, which is related to the improvement of local attention to folklore cultural resources. In addition to academic research, many cultural departments still have a great demand for folklore graduates, and they should be promising majors.
