Study of the retribution in Taiwanese folktalesWu, Hsin-pei 19 January 2012 (has links)
This paper¡¦s purpose is to highlight the retribution of Taiwanese folktales and hope that through combining stories and religions together to educate people and encourage people to behave good and honest. This paper uses the view of Buddhism and Taoism to analysis 148 pieces of Taiwanese folktales by synthesis, induction and comparison. Hope that in using of the folktales and the religion theory to encourage people to behave good and honest instead of evildoing. Regulating their own behavior by following the good and ethical standards, to make sure that they can live their life safely and healthy.
The first chapter includes research motives, methods, scope of the study and documents investigation. Second chapter defines the folk literatures and folk tales¡¦ ways and means of transmission for the relation between Fujian and Taiwanese folk tales and the process of Taiwanese folk tales development. Third chapter is the main part of this paper. First I sorted out Buddhist and Taoist ideas; which are retribution of good and evil, through their classic. Then I analyze the religious view through the pattern of the retribution which happens in the roles of Taiwanese folktales. The main focus is on Buddhism¡¦s causal concept, hell concept and the concept of reincarnation. Taoist concept of celestial theory, remain-sustain theory and Gods dominate over rewards and punishments theory. Fourth chapter discusses about retribution causes, methods and results of the role in the Taiwanese folk tales, as well as the meaning that folktales has on itself. Fifth chapter is to conclude the ideas and theory which were presented in this paper.
Buddhism believes cause and effect cycle. Taoist believes that Gods dominate over reward and punishment. Buddhist theory of causation tells us that people who behave badly will become livestock or even fall into hell after death. People who behave good and honest will go to heaven or reincarnate to a good family after death. Taoism theory¡¦s judge system tells people that Gods record each person's words and deeds. People believe "What goes around, comes around" for over thousands of years and it has created a strong constraint among the people. Folktales also help build up this strong constraint force. Perhaps the constraint in people¡¦s mind has grown weaker in this emotionless modern generation. I hope this paper can recall people's minds and the goodness of the heart once again, in hoping that this emotion and believe will last along in the future.
