What are the characteristics of the comparison between Chinese and western literature?

1, China literature discipline, western literature discipline. It reflects that China literature has an independent personality, which requires its political knowledge to be separated from its historical knowledge. This is what Lu Xun called literary consciousness. Western literature was originally based on their concept of learning from nature, that is, westerners initially regarded all spiritual products as the products of learning from nature, so like their paintings, they hoped to express them in a realistic way.

2, China literature, what articles will try to write poetry, even writing vernacular novels in ancient times, there are often a variety of functional and lyrical poetry embellishment in the meantime, the story of the opera is simple, like long lyrical, with verse.

There are almost no real Chinese-style poems in the west, and even poems are often very narrative, such as long poems in ancient Greece and Shakespeare's plays, which are called poems in Britain, and their emphasis on narration can be imagined. Of course, there are many novels, which are mature and have a wide range of topics.

3, China literature has a tradition of verse, often forming a stylized writing style, such as novels, often with stories. Every time you encounter a specific scene, you will use a fixed stylized language to explain it. Just like Beijing Opera, every action has a fixed stylized meaning.

Western literature seems to lack formal beauty. What is important is that it is unconventional. What is important is that the plot is tense and unexpected.

Personally, as far as language is concerned, the use of Chinese can be more rhyming. Although there are rhymes in the west, I doubt that their rhymes are as rigorous and pleasant as Chinese.
