This analysis examines four cases of folk literature: the oral tradition about San Guan Temple in Haizhou, the Dai epic "WUSHABALUO," fan fiction and local business legend. Although unique, these cases present various challenges and are all tangible examples of folk literature. The aim of this panel is to explore means of addressing these challenges, as well as reveal the cultural significance and value of these folk literatures.
