This index to the 620 volume collectanea Suwenxue congkan (Folk Literature: Materials in the Collections of the Institute of History and Philology) was compiled as part of a teaching and research project of the Department of Chinese Language and Literature and the Department for History of China, Faculty of East Asian Studies, at Ruhr-Universität Bochum.
This series is one of the most important sources for research on Chinese performative arts of the early modern and modern periods. It contains texts dating from the eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries, including opera librettos, narrative texts, comic sketches, as well as reprints of scholarly journals on the theatrical arts. The materials were compiled by the historian Fu Sinian 傅斯年 (1896–1950), the founding director of the Institute for History and Philology of the Academia Sinica. The Taipei-based publishing house Shin Wen Feng reproduced these texts photomechanically and published them between 2002 and 2016. Suwenxue congkan -PDF

Under the supervision of Dr. Rüdiger Breuer and Prof. Dr. Christine Moll-Murata, this index was designed and the data entered by a group of students and student assistants. The students participating in the project were Lisa Herrmann, Johanna Marie Poppek, Anna Schulte, Kai Wycisk, and Mark Y.S. Yang. The student assistants Xiong Hongyue, Huang Gufeng, Yang Yang, and Wu Kuan-Wei controlled and edited the Excel sheets. As a follow-up project, a search interface will be programmed by our IT specialist, Christoph Piechotta
