江湖社会民俗虽然是民俗学的重要内容,但过去我在自己的教学和研究中并没有予以特别的重视。一个偶然的机会,使我开始对江湖社会民俗有了进一步的了解。 1995年,在山东艺术学院任教的学弟张士闪君向我介绍,他们学校办了一届影视武打专科班,希望我能去给学生讲一讲江湖礼仪方面的知识。碍于士闪的情面,我接下了讲课的任务。这次讲课的时间虽然不长,还不到二十个课时,但对我来说却是深入了解江湖社会民俗的一次极好的机会。我一边备课一边学习,一边讲课一边与学生讨论,其间,士闪学弟十分抬举我,每次讲课他都坐在下面和学生一起听,更使我在讲课时不敢有半点懈怠。正是通过这次讲课,促使我对江湖社会民俗进行了一次系统的梳理,现在摆在读者面前的这本小册子,正是在那次讲课时就形成的雏形。 Although the social and folk customs are an important part of folklore, in the past I did not pay special attention to my teaching and research. By chance, I started to have a better understanding of the social and folk customs. In 1995, Zhang Shih-yen, a school pupil who taught at the Shandong Institute of the Arts, introduced me to a film and television martial arts class run by his school and hoped that I could give students some knowledge about the etiquette of rivers and lakes. Due to Shi-flash situation, I took the task of lecturing. Although the lecture time was not long and was less than 20 hours, it was an excellent opportunity for me to understand in depth the social customs of rivers and lakes. While I was preparing lessons, I was discussing with the students while lecturing. In the meantime, She Sima School Brightens me very much. Every time I give a lecture, I sit down with the students and make me afraid to have a slack in my lectures. It was through this lecture that prompted me to conduct a systematic review of the social and folk customs of rivers and lakes. This booklet, which is now before the readers, is exactly the prototype that came into being during that lecture.
