摘要

楊雲萍先生（1906-2000）為台灣大學歷史系教授，也是日治時期台灣文學運動的重要人物，對於臺灣民俗研究也有卓著貢獻。本文從楊雲萍參與的有關民俗之活動及著作中，探討其民俗文化觀念與民俗研究的特色。楊雲萍曾參加日治時期《民俗臺灣》、戰後《臺灣文化》、《公論報》「臺灣風土創刊」及《臺灣風物》刊物的撰稿與編輯工作，對於民俗研究，堅持臺灣文化的主體性，強調研究者須有理解、愛與謙遜的態度。更大聲呼籲及時進行古蹟保護，了解民俗始能談到改革；對女性民俗研究也相當關注。其民俗研究的內涵與特色有四：一，立足於地方文史研究，表現鄉土之愛；二，耙梳文史材料，兼納民間傳說；三，采錄民俗，予以詮釋或批評社會風氣；四，收藏民俗文物，研究庶民生活。楊雲萍以知識份子的身份而關注民間文學與民間文化，其對民俗的熱情與民俗研究的理念，尤其值得後來的學者參考。
