Abstract Previous studies of the Jin literature chiefly focused on the then Chinese written literature during to shortage of resources. But the discovery of the national non-material cultural heritage, ＂Manchu Folk-tales＂, which were handed down from mouth to mouth for hundreds of years among the Nuzhens, offers a new springboard for the studies of the Jin literature. It not only brings to the surface vivid primitive literary works and offers new literary resources, but also supplies the spreading of Chinese literature with an oral paradigm parallel to that of written literature. The establishment of such an oral paradigm of spreading will give a boost to disciplinary building and facilitate the change of the studies of Chinese literary history from the narrow, mo-notonous traditional mode to an open, multiple, creative one.
