The three sets of Chinese folk literature refer to

"Collection of Chinese Folk Stories", "Collection of Chinese Ballads" and "Collection of Chinese Proverbs".

The three collections of Chinese folk literature refer to three large-scale folk literature collections: "Collection of Chinese Folk Stories", "Collection of Chinese Ballads" and "Collection of Chinese Proverbs". The compilation of Jishu Chronicles began in 1984 and lasted for more than 20 years. Hundreds of thousands of people participated in the census and collected a large number of folk stories, ballads and proverbs. "Collection of Chinese Folk Stories" collects myths, legends, folktales, jokes and fables; "Collection of Chinese Ballads" collects folk songs, epics and narrative poems; "Collection of Chinese Proverbs" collects a large number of proverbs. The three sets integrate and preserve a large amount of intangible cultural heritage, form a system in line with China's national conditions in terms of classification, and establish strict and scientific work standards. The collection of chronicles is of great significance to the study and inheritance of Chinese folk literature.
