作为口头传统的口头文学具有最为广泛的传承性、传播性和扩布性。从民俗学角度看，口头文学是语言民俗，属于信息交流系统。因而，作为语言交流的一种形式或媒介，口头文学不仅在本民族内部承担着信息交流、文化传承、情感沟通等功能，还在不同民族、地区实现着各种讯息的横向扩布。口头文学作为非物质文化遗产重要的有机的组成部分，在体现民族个性、文化多样性的同时，也展示着人类文化共通性的一面，即“你中有我，我中有你”。从某种意义上说，口头文学既是人类文明的基因，人类生命的记忆，也是人类文化创造的源泉；既是人类智慧的结晶，也是人类的精神家园。《西北回族口头文学研究》一书，在该领域的学术研究中，具有较高的学术价值。%As an old tradition,oral literature has a most commonly accepted character of inheriting tradition and spreading widely.As far as focklore is concerned,oral literature is a linguistic folk-way and belongs to information and communication system.So it is a form and media of language communication,which not only plays an important role in information transition,culture inherit-ance as well as emotional communication among natives,but also spreads various kinds of infou-mation to different nations and regions.Being a very important organic part in Intangible Culture Heritage,oral literature shows the very nation's personality,cultural diversity as well as the com-mon characters of different nations and cultures,that is to say,"there is something of each in the other".In a sense,oral literature is the gene of human culture,memory of humanlife,origin of cul-tural creativity,crysttalization of human wisdom and home of human spirit.
