The formation of fairy tales

Myth, as a form of folk literature, is an imaginative story created by ancient people to reflect nature, the relationship between man and nature and social formation. The emergence of myth is combined with primitive human beings' struggle against nature for their own survival. At that time, the production tools were crude, and unpredictable natural forces posed a serious threat to mankind. At the same time, primitive people's understanding of the objective world is also in an extremely naive stage.

They are puzzled, surprised and afraid of the movement of the sun and the moon, the change of day and night, the occurrence of floods and droughts, and the illness and death. They turned this will and desire into concrete images and vivid plots through unconscious imagination, so there was a myth. It can be seen that myth is a spiritual activity of primitive people trying to know and control nature under extremely difficult conditions, and it also entrusts with human yearning and religious realization.
