AI overview

Folklore is the collection of stories, sayings, beliefs, and customs that a group of people share and pass along to each other—things like fairy tales, proverbs, jokes, traditional songs, and the ways they celebrate important events. It matters because it captures and preserves the distinctive culture, values, and identity of communities, from the tales they tell to the buildings they construct and the rituals they practice.

Orden folklore och folkminne har flera olika betydelser. De är vida samlande benämningar på föreställningar om det fantastiska och övernaturliga, som sprids genom muntlig tradition, eller på allmogekulturens yttringar och produkter i allmänhet. Folkminnen är en äldre skandinavisk benämning på folklore, specifikt just den traditionella allmogekulturens traditioner. Folkminnen kan handla om i stort sett allt som hör livet till, såsom arbete och fritid, matvanor och seder, trosföreställningar, läkekonst, musikliv, folktro, m.m.
