I am a sophomore in the Chinese Department of Wenzhou University, and I want to take an examination of folklore at Wenda University.

As a graduate of Wenzhou University majoring in folklore, I have two suggestions for your reference:

First, the difficulty of taking the folklore test in Wenzhou University lies in public English and politics. This is the national unified examination, and the implementation of Class A is basically necessary. This is quite difficult, because the postgraduate courses in Tsinghua of Peking University are also based on this standard. Specialized courses are not difficult. There are few designated reference books, and the exam is very basic. In previous years, there were free download test papers in official website, and the test topics were all repetitive. Full score 150, and it is not a problem that the test paper is above 140.

Second, graduate employment is very embarrassing. Especially the employment of folklore major should be the protection of intangible cultural heritage. Most of this department is a public institution under the Cultural Bureau. Through the recruitment process of public institutions, the professional advantage is not obvious. The demand for museums and the like is limited, the content of practical study of tourism majors is not professional enough, and the master of laws in normal schools is issued because of folklore graduation, which basically does not meet the recruitment. Maybe Cobb's words will be of some use. There seems to be little demand for doctoral positions in folklore. The content of folklore research is very interesting, but considering employment, we should choose carefully. The choice of folk customs fully embodies that the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny.
