Title: An analysis of folk ethic in gender——with a reference to folktales in Geng Village
Abstract: The viewpoint on marriage among folk people is still based on love out of morality,just as the orthodox ethics in traditional Chinese society have encouraged.The gender ethic as revealed by folktales has followed the suit of each generation's ethic,which has been formed as a result of the economic or existence needs.Gratitude/return has been the ideal mode of marriage.It is regarded as an emotional foundation to resist utilitarian marriage.Meanwhile there is no obvious difference between these two kinds of marriage.Both of them are not dependent on the real communication between husband and wife,and are confined to body concern.
