在过去的漫长世纪,非洲大陆各族群创造和积累了丰富的口传形态的诗歌、故事、谚语、格言、神话和故事。这些口传文学曾经是非洲原始部落的精神家园与启蒙老师,是非洲大陆的精神史诗,也是非洲本土知识的基本载体和非洲各族群历史的集体记忆。理解非洲各部族的传统文化,把握非洲各族群的心灵结构,可以从倾听、理解这些古老的口传文学开始。

In the long history of the past century, ethnic groups in the African continent have created and accumulated rich oral forms of poetry, stories, proverbs, maxims, myths and stories. These oral traditions were the spiritual homeland and enlightenment teacher of primitive tribes in Africa. They are epic poems on the African continent, as well as the basic carrier of indigenous knowledge in Africa and the collective memory of the history of all ethnic groups in Africa. Understanding the traditional cultures of African tribes and grasping the spiritual fabric of the various ethnic groups in Africa can start by listening to and understanding these ancient oral traditions.
