A Collision Between Mystery and Civilization——on the anti-modern consciousness of the folk mystery in present-day folk stories

Modernism is a double-edged sword,which brings about the dissimilation of human beings and leads to the confusion of value recognition and the anomic of traditional morals along with the creation of great material culture and development of science and technology.The three mysterious elements of characters with an air of romance,mysterious divinities and circumstances are usually mixed with the narration of folk traditions,which expresses modern writers' questioning,inquiry and repudiation of modern civilization and the recollection of human beings themselves,prominently displays from the side view the writers' self-identification of the Chinese traditional concept to combine heaven and man and shows the traditional philosophy of the world or of human life with the Chinese characteristics.
