Folk literature is the accumulation of national collective consciousness, which carries and contains rich folk belief elements. It is a specimen of the national spirit and the spiritual memory of a nation. This book starts from the folk beliefs contained in the voluminous folk literature that has a huge social integration function in the southwest border minority areas, and examines the inheritance and modern significance of folk beliefs in border folk literature. From the perspective of research, the organic combination of folk literature and folk beliefs highlights the integration of the two. For the minority people in the southwest frontier, folk belief is not a profound knowledge, but a straightforward emotion that is part of their daily life. The folk beliefs presented in folk literature have integration, control, cohesion, communication, cultural consensus, spiritual comfort, psychological adjustment, and moral standard functions for the southwest frontier society. Literature is a carving knife that shapes the soul. The folk beliefs contained in folk literature have a positive and constructive effect on human ethics and social order and good customs.
