These patterns of behaviors are regarded as traditional and established ways of members of the particular folk group. Folk custom is to transmit by word of mouth demonstration or imitation. The folklore and folk customs of England are rich and varied. Many customs are ancient, passed down, generation to generation from the Germanic and Celtic ancestors. Others are more modern creations.One of the greatest problems in assessing most accounts of folk customs is that they tend to give only the antiquarys (古董商的，收集古物者的) point of view. After all, to most observers, the people they were looking at were simple and illiterate, unmindful of the true significance of the customs they had preserved. Why question them at length if they didnt understand the essential nature of what they were doing? So a folklorist is likely to emphasize aspects of a tradition which reflect his or her own interests or which fit in with preconceived ideas, while possibly ignoring or giving only passing mention to aspects which may, in fact, be of equal importance.One aspect which generally gets left out of accounts is the viewpoint of the participants themselves: for instance why they indulge in a particular activity at a particular time of year or of their lives and what feelings they experience while doing so. And now, ideas deriving from folklore studies are so widespread that they may easily have become an integral part of the attitude of the participants in a custom. So the folklorist is rather like a man staring at a scene in a mirror who must be aware, to fully understand that scene, that his own reflection is a major part of what he is looking at.It is, however, also true to say that many contemporary students to folklore are fully aware of the problems which beset their enquiries. Like true scientists they draw their conclusion by looking at available evidence, rather than selecting evidence which fits with existing theories. Some have also looked away from the “obviously ancient and turned their attention to folklore where it thrives, in the social life of modern cities industry and sport etc. They may, for example end up looking at the lore of the motor car, or of popular music, and at customs which, though they have no hints of paganism nevertheless have much in common with older activities which do.Many folklorists have gradually come to the conclusion that folklore is not necessarily a thing of the past, a relic of ancient and outmoded ways of thinking, but the means by which people try to make sense of the world or to confront its lack of sense and try to alleviate (减少, 缓和) boredom and suffering.1.
