WESTERN YUGUR FOLKTALES
Western Yugur literature is transmitted orally. Usually, traditional narrative literature is divided into folktales, which are fictitious; legends, which deal with historical events or supernatural experiences and are told as being true, and myths, which deal with the creation of the world and the establishment of civilisation, and concern the sacred. The historical tales and religious texts are dealt with separately in the sections on the history and religion of the Yugur. Tales from daily life are presented in the section on the Yugur people.
