筆者2010年7月至山西師範大學參加東方文學與藝術國際學術研討會，提出〈恆山民間傳說初探——以文獻資料為範圍〉一文，會後赴大同市拜訪恆山民間傳說專家張劍揚先生，並前往渾源縣實際訪查，此文即是加入訪查所得的修正稿。恆山民間傳說的特色是：一、各類傳說皆備，以山川名勝傳說最多，而習俗傳說頗具特色。二、傳說的歷史背景悠久，從春秋、戰國之交以迄清朝，可見恆山民間傳說的確源遠流長。三、傳說中牽涉的名人眾多，身分包括帝王、神仙、武將、文臣等，也有能工巧匠、和尚道士與樸實老百姓的故事。女性方面則有女神、女英雄、女尼和皇后等，可見女性人物在恆山民間傳說中的重要性。四、若與最早的史實或記載相較，民間傳說往往比原始記載動人，或與史實大異其趣。五、內容樸實直率，常出現反映百姓心聲的民諺或順口溜，充分展現民眾對渾源本土文化的自信。

The article is a revised version of the author’s former article The Pre-
liminary Research on Folklores of Hengshan (Mt. Heng)─with Its Data Dedicated on the Literature. The present article was completed after the
author had participated in the International Conference on Oriental Litera-ture and Art sponsored by the Shanxi Normal University(山西師範大學)
in July 2010. Having presented her paper in the conference, the author
called on the folkfore expert of Hengshan─ Mr. Jian-Yang Zhang(張劍揚)
in the city of Datong(大同市) and visited Hunyuan county(渾源縣) to con-
duct a field study on Hengshan(恆山). The features of Hengshan folklore
are as follows : (1) various kinds of the folklore exist, with a number of famous scenic spots of mountain and river and distinctive custom legends (2) various kinds of the folklore have long historical backgrounds, dating from the Qing Dynasty and up to the period of Spring-Autumn(春秋) and Warring States(戰國) (3) various kinds of the folklore contain the celebri-ties, including emperors, gods, generals, and civilian officials, and the sto-ries of skilled craftsmen, Buddhist monks, Taoist priests, and the simple ordinary people. Women, including goddesses, heroines, nuns, and queens, are also significant in the folklore of Hengshan (4) various kinds of the folklore are far more attractive than and quite different from the original historical facts or records. (5) various kinds of the folklore are simple and straightforward in their contents, and can reflect in the works of the folk proverbs and doggerels while fully representing the confidence of Hunyuan’s people toward their own local culture.
