Being an integral part of the folk folklore, fairy tales serve as a support, a source of knowledge about any people, nation, as they reflect the life of the environment in which they arose, the natural conditions and features of the original culture, historical development. And Chinese folk tales are no exception. In the fabulous repertoire of the Chinese, magical fairy tales occupied the greatest place, which are divided into separate semantic categories:

About the search for the disappeared beauty-bride

One of the most ancient cycles, of which the Chinese folk fairy tales consist, are the narratives about the search for missing brides: "As a young man was looking for a favor," in which the girl stole an angry werewolf, or "a fairy tale about the trick Which heroine kidnapped a black eagle. Perhaps, in the presentation of the ancient Chinese, the abduction of the beloved was considered as a punishment for disregarding the tradition of choosing a girl in his wife only from a kind. All Chinese folk fairy tales of this type had the same structure and further development of the plot. It was in the fact that the hero went to search for the narrowed, at any cost, it sought to take it away from the rainer, and return to the world of people. Naturally, the told by Absolute Heppi-end is a safe return home as a winner and with his beloved bride. In comparison with the European analogues of such fabulous plots in Chinese, there is no suitable description of the beautiful (royal) life, excessive lifestyles of the syllable, and the main characters are not princes and enchanted princesses, but ordinary peasant couples.

About the path and testing

There are magical fairy tales about the test, which come up with the fathers of daughters in their kingdom for the future son-in-law. The fairy tale called "Heavenly Drum" is this example. In it, the main character takes a heavenly fairy to his wife, but this marriage Father Fairy does not consider valid and takes her daughter to heaven, where she keeps her in heavenly prison. To return their beloved, the young man must pass in the kingdom of his testing numerous tests that were not passed before marriage, which violated the sacred marriage ritual. Only after the fulfillment of all the tasks that the father's favorite was put in front of him, the hero will again be able to see his wife.

Another example is the "Red Lilia" fairy tale, in which the protagonist, a poor peasant Dulin, having received a beautiful fairy in his wife, a girl who came out of the flower, did not fully appreciate his happiness: became lazy, arrogant. The payback did not make himself wait long. Fairy, without putting his dismissive relationship, escaped on a peacock on the moon. The year it took Dulin to realize and correct his mistake. It cost him to start to work again, as a wife returned to him and their life was again "sweet as honey."

Fighting evil relatives

Chinese fairy tales for children include those who tell about the "victory" of the unfortunate main character over their terrible relatives: mercenary and hated elder brother and his wife, over a stepmother or stepfather. In such histories there is a pronounced characteristic of many folk testes of different peoples of the trait - the idealization of the younger brother. And the Chinese folk tales also represent this hero as the custodian of the genital traditions and a family hearth, for example, as in the "fairy tale about the younger brother." In her, the younger brother is inherited a piece of unsuitable land, a dog, on which plows, and a rooster. From hatred, the elder brother kills the unfortunate dog and bird. Killed by the Hero Hero bury friends not far from his hut. And the miracle tree grows on the site of the burial, instead of foliage on which - coins.

Household and satirical fairy tales

Chinese folk tales belonging to the category "household" include and frankly satirical stories, such as "beautiful wife" and "magic chan." In domestic fairy tales, all kinds of magical items play a domicile role, around the features of which and the plot action unfolds. However, in comparison with Russian satirical fairy tales, in Chinese judges usually wise and positive. An example can serve as a whole collection of legends about the fair judge Bao-Gong, who was famous for his honesty and integrity.

Separate attention deserves the Chinese folk fairy tale "Liu Brothers". According to her plot, the mother had five twins sons, called all Liu and after the serial number was added - the first, the second, etc. The young men had each individual magical property. They lived together and happily as long as the evil ruler, having accepted because of the spoiled hunt, did not arrest one of the brothers. But the heroes stood on the defense of her brother, using their fabulous superpowers. They not only liberated their younger, but also relied from the evil ruler and the entire population of the region.

Reflection of figurative thinking

There are several types of Chinese fairy tales: the magic fairy tale is called "Xianhua", the mythical tale is "Gushi", children's fairy tales - "Tunhua". The most interesting are fairy tales called "Shenhua". Often they have a connection with the concepts of "fiction", "Myth" and "Legend". In ancient times, people tried to explain the incomprehensible phenomena of nature by any available ways. Therefore, the fairy tale is a reflection of the figurative thinking that is based on the imagination.
