What is the historical significance of Grimm's fairy tales?
/kloc-Grimm's Fairy Tales, which was produced in Germany in the early 20th century, is the earliest, longest and most systematic collection of fairy tales in European countries. There are about 265,438+00 Grimm's fairy tales, which are divided into three parts: children and family stories, children's religious legends and addenda. It can be said that each article is a masterpiece worthy of repeated reading. Among them, besides the above works, there are The Frog Prince, Little Red Riding Hood, Faithful John, Rapunzel and Fisherman. The brothers Grimm were deeply influenced by the German Romantic Literature Movement, so most of the folk fairy tales they chose were handed down by people from many countries, summarizing their unrecorded spiritual struggle history for thousands of years, many of which directly reflected the simplicity, humor, wit and courage of ordinary people. The most extensive and ardent feelings contained in these fairy tales support and praise the beautiful qualities such as truth, justice, kindness, diligence and courage, and lash and satirize the ugly qualities such as hypocrisy, evil, cruelty, cunning, cowardice and laziness, which soothes people's hardships in real life and increases their confidence and courage in life and the future. In addition, there are many stories in Grimm's fairy tales, which are tortuous but not bizarre. Although the narrative is simple, it is not monotonous, and the language is also poetic, with strong regional color, national color and times color. All these show that Grimm's fairy tales are influenced by romanticism, and also show its own achievements in literary and artistic creation. I believe that as soon as readers read these wonderful works, they will definitely return to childhood memories. Of course, because Grimm's fairy tales mainly come from the people, some articles are inevitably influenced by some vulgar tendencies. For example, the early published Grimm's fairy tales once contained some unadorned obscene content, so that in some people's eyes, the original Grimm's fairy tales are simply a collection of stories that mothers can't help blushing when reading to their daughters. In addition, some chapters in Grimm's fairy tales are biased against women and their feelings are not suitable for children. Needless to say, these questions, but on the whole, Grimm's fairy tales are indeed a great collection of literary works, which no one can deny.
