民俗，即民間風俗，指一個國傢或民族中廣大民衆所創造、享用和傳承的生活文化。它起源於人類社會群體生活的需要，在特定的民族、時代和地域中不斷形成、擴大和演變，為民衆的日常生活服務。
民俗是人民傳承文化中最貼切身心和生活的一種文化——勞動時有生産勞動的民俗，日常生活中有日常生活的民俗，傳統節日中有傳統節日的民俗，社會組織有組社會組織民俗，人生成長的各個階段也需要民俗進行規範——結婚人們需要有結婚典禮或儀式來求得社會認同，在人的精神意識領域也有民俗——許多生活中的禁忌就是如此：大年三十至初二，傢中不許掃地，如果進行打掃就會破壞來年的財運……
民俗現象雖然千差萬別、種類繁多，但是它也並非無所不包。民俗，正如它的名字，它深植於集體，在時間上，人們一代代傳承它，在空間上，它由一個地域嚮另一個地域擴布——壓歲錢的風俗年年如此，而且各地盛行就是例證。當然，民俗也不是鐵板一塊，它在傳承的過程中也會出現各種不同的版本，不然為什麽過年時北方吃餃子南方卻吃年糕呢？民俗學家們把這種現象稱之為“民俗的變異”。雖然民俗常常因為時過境遷而不斷改變，卻自有分明的類型或模式，您知道嗎？南方的吊角樓與北方四合院就是兩種不同類型民居建築。
民俗就是這樣一種來自於人民，傳承於人民，規範人民，又深藏在人民的行為、語言和心理中的基本力量。我們置身其間卻不為其所纍，甘願接受這種模式性規範的保護！
