    I don't think about ancient literature.

    1 Chinese literature originates from grassroots life, and most of them draw inspiration from the things around them. European literature is also related to the aristocracy and religious class. There is a considerable gap from civilian life, and most of them modify the words in a rather romantic form.

    2 The disadvantage of Chinese literature is that it is too subtle, and the difficulty of classical Chinese is so difficult that it is often necessary to put oneself in the shoes of the person to consider its true meaning. The merit lies in the use of its implicit approach to expose the real life and needs and aspirations of the grassroots.

    3 The disadvantage of European literature is that it is incomprehensible to its own people... Shakespeare's writings require a Ph.D. in literature to understand their significance, because ancient European texts are too cumbersome and difficult to understand. The merit lies in its superior metaphorical device and the description of the characters' expressions and inner changes.

    In fact, if I personally think that the comparison between Chinese and Western ancient literature should be "Strange Tales of Liao Zhai" and "Divine Comedy" would be better distinguished, and Liao Zhai Zhi Wei wrote about the feudal society's constraints on love and the suffering caused by war and bureaucracy, which was very close to the people at the grassroots level.

    The Divine Comedy has a great deal of religious leanings, but it is undeniable that it is a great metaphor and a great foreshadowing skill, not about the people at the grassroots level, but about the bureaucracy, the aristocracy, and the political struggles of the time.

    1 The biggest difference is that most of Chinese literature is written in Chinese, while European literature is written in the languages of European countries.

    2 The advantage of Chinese literature is that it is easy for Chinese to understand, and the disadvantage is that it is not easy for foreigners to understand.

    3 The advantage of European literature is that it is easy for Europeans to understand, but not easy for Chinese.

    I only describe my personal feelings: Western literature can feel its essence from the plain and even cumbersome, and the whole can feel its essence from many words; Chinese literature, on the other hand, can be seen in a sentence or even a word. It can also be seen as the difference between a long story and a short story.

    The similarity between Chinese and Western literature is that it can easily understand the essence of Chinese and Western literature, which can be called a first-class production. Such as "The True Story of Ah Q".

    Summary. In addition, modern Chinese literature has also been influenced by foreign literature. At the beginning of the 20th century, Western modernist literary thought was introduced to China and had a profound impact on modern Chinese literature.

    At the same time, Chinese literature is constantly integrating with world literature, absorbing foreign cultures and creating modern literary works with Chinese characteristics.

    Hello, there is a relationship between foreign literature and Chinese literature. Since ancient times, Chinese literature has been influenced by many foreign literatures, such as Indian Buddhist literature, Greek and Roman literature, Arabic literature, and Polish Shan Ruler literature. These literary works were translated, disseminated and accepted by Zheng Guo, and had a profound impact on Chinese literature.

    At the same time, Chinese literature has also had an important influence on foreign literature. Ancient Chinese works such as The Book of Songs, The Analects, and The Dream of the Red Chamber have been translated into many languages and widely disseminated around the world. These works not only show the unique charm of Chinese culture, but also have a profound impact on foreign literature, such as "Dream of the Red Chamber" has a very significant impact on Japanese literature.

    In addition, modern Chinese literature has also been influenced by foreign literature. At the beginning of the 20th century, Western modernist literary thought was introduced to China and had a profound impact on modern Chinese literature. At the same time, the literature of Zhongyuan Laguo is also constantly integrating with world literature, absorbing foreign cultures, and creating modern literary works with Chinese characteristics.
