丁乃通的《中国民间故事类型索引》采用他搜集的两个阶段的中国民间故事资料,他在使用、编辑这些资料时,试图使中国故事迁就于AT分类标准,而没有就中国故事进行全面的分类。因此,在使用该著时为了避免随意拆分或断章取义,要谨慎判断故事被删节与否,争取核对原文。 Ding Naitong’s “Index of Chinese Folktales Types” uses the two-phase Chinese folk story data collected by him. While using and editing these materials, Ding Naitong tried to shift the Chinese stories to the AT taxonomy without a comprehensive classification of Chinese stories . Therefore, when using this book, in order to avoid arbitrary disassembly or out of context, we must carefully judge whether the story was abridged or not, and strive to verify the original.
