There are those foreign folk tales

A. The names of foreign folktales are those

1. Pandora's Box

Pandora's Box, also known as Pandora's Box, Pandora's Box, this is a classic myth of ancient Greece. Pandora is the first human woman created by Zeus, mainly to take revenge on humans. Because Prometheus, one of the gods, cared too much about human beings, so he got angry with Zeus.

Zeus (Zeus) first ordered the god of fire, Hephaestus (Hephaestus), the use of water and soil synthesis and mixing, according to the image of the goddess to make a lovely woman; and then ordered the goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite (Aphrodite), drenched in hormones to make men crazy.

Hera gave her self-confidence and self-esteem, the goddess Athena (Athena) to teach women to weave, making all the colors of the beautiful clothes weaving, so that the woman looks more bright and charming; the messenger of the gods Hermes (Hermes) to teach her the gift of language.

And so Zeus put a wicked bane behind this beautiful image. A complete woman was finally finished. The gods helped her dress and put on her hairband (which was the work of Hephaestus, the god of fire), and her necklace with a chain of beads, and she was as beautiful as a bride.

Hamish had the idea: "Call this woman Pandora (Pandora), a gift from the gods to mankind." The gods agreed with his suggestion. In ancient Greek, Pan means all, and Dora is a gift.

"Pandora" means "the woman with all the gifts". After Pandora was created, Zeus ordered Hermes to bring her to Prometheus's brother, Epimetheus, the Hind.

Because he knew that Prometheus would not accept his gift, he gave it to Epimetheus at the beginning. Epimetheus, who was a fool by nature, accepted Pandora because of her beauty and temptation.

2, the Garden of Eden

The Garden of Eden is the paradise on earth, according to the Bible - the Old Testament - Genesis records, God - Jehovah according to their own image created the human ancestor man Adam, and then one of Adam's ribs to create a woman Eve, and placed the first man and woman to live in the Garden of Eden.

The Garden of Eden means paradise in the original language of the Bible. The Bible records Eden as being in the east, and the Divine Comedy by the poet Alighieri Dante places Eden at the summit of Mount Purgatory. There were four rivers that flowed from the land of Eden and nourished the garden.

The ancestors of mankind were exiled by God for the original sin of stealing the forbidden fruit, an event known as Paradise Lost. Accordingly, mankind was redeemed and returned to Paradise after the Judgment of Armageddon, which is called Paradise Regained.

3. Brahma's Creation

A long time ago, there was no sun, no moon, and no stars in the world, just a vast ocean. One day, a seed drifted into the water, and gradually turned into a golden egg (the Indians called Brahma egg). It floated on the water year after year, day after day.

Suddenly, one day, this Brahma egg cracked open, and Brahma, the originator of all things, creation: the god of art, leapt out of it. He had four long arms, four huge hands, and four yellowish-black faces, facing in four directions, southeast, west, and two than.

They are said to symbolize the four Vedas: the Rig Veda, the Shama Veda, the Yajur Veda, and the Adapa Veda; and also the four castes: the Brahmins, the Kshatriyas, the Vaishyas, and the Shudras. As a result of spending too much time in the golden egg.

Brahma became angry, so he raised his hand and pushed the upper part of the golden egg upwards for 18,000 miles, which was later to become heaven; and stepped on his foot and pressed the lower part of the golden egg downwards for 25,000 miles, which became the vast and broad earth; and in the middle formed the clear, empty sky.

Next, Brahma determined a direction, distinguished between year, month and day, and created language. After doing all this, Brahma was content to lie down on the earth he had created and fell asleep. But as he lay down, he inadvertently stomped hard on the spot where he was standing.

And these earths sank under the water and became the seabed of today. The unevenness of the seabed is the result of the different exertions of Brahma's ten toes. I do not know how many years of sleep, Brahma finally woke up son. He stretched his back and decided to walk around, so he put on his white clothes.

Wearing a white garland, holding a magic weapon, rosary beads, lotus flowers and books in his hands, and riding a swan to set off, he walked and stopped, stopped and stopped, and finally realized that in addition to him, there is only water in this world, Brahma thought: "This world is too cold, too bleak.

Is it true that I am in the company of water every day? Wouldn't that be very lonely and isolated? No, I want to create, create beings like me, I want this land to have 'me' everywhere." Thinking of this, Brahma began to exert the power of God.

Then, from his heart jumped out the first son, Moritsuki, and from his eyes leaped out the _second_ son, Adri, and from his mouth sprang the third son, Angelo, and from his ears crawled the fourth son, Tonic Privy; and the fifth son, Tonic Maharaja, and from his nostrils fell the sixth son, Krotu.

From the right thumb grew the son Daksha, and from the left thumb the daughter Vrini. After an unknown period of time, Brahma's anger-filled forehead gave birth to his last son, Rudra, the god of destruction. He was usually always immovable on the side of the gods.

But secretly he used to accept the incense of some devas and become their backer. So later he became Shiva, one of the three great gods of Zi, who not only has the wonderful appearance of no study and no end, but also has three eyes. When he was angry.

The one eye on the forehead one or two would then spew out three flavors of fire and burn everything. Soon after, Brahma's first son, Moritsuki, created the birth lord, Kasyapa; Adri created the son, Dharma, the god of justice, and Suma, the god of the moon, and Angelo became the guru and priest of all the gods of the heavens who were the lords of the planet Jupiter.

He made the Lord of Priests and became the progenitor of the whole family of Angelo, and Corelli Qu grew out of the skin of Brahma, whose son Ushanas, or Taibhaji, was extremely intelligent and skillful in magic and conjuring. He was employed by Asura as a guru and priest.

Later, Brahma's son Dhari and his daughter Rini were married and had seventy daughters. They married thirteen of them to the immortal Kasyapa; the other thirty-seven were promised to the moon god Suma. Later they all became the twenty-seven constellations of the sky.

The rest were also married to the gods of heaven or Da. The sons born to Kasyapa and Daksha's eldest daughter, Dies, and second daughter, Tannu, were all valiant and intelligent. They not only knew numerous spells and were able to change their forms at will, but also used many magical arts.

They possessed countless treasures of gold and silver. They also built three cities of gold, silver and iron in the sky, on the earth and under the earth. They are known as Ditya and Tanapa and are also collectively known as Asuras. Aditi, the third daughter of Kasyapa and Dasha, gave birth to twelve celestial gods.

Most of them were also quite remarkable. For example, Mithra and Vairochana, the gods of the ocean, Dhritarashtra, the great god of craftsmen, Surya, the god of the sun, the emperor of heaven, Indra, the god of thunder and lightning, Vayu, the god of the winds, and Pushan, the god of the paths, to name but a few.

Especially the youngest son Vishnu, he is brave and good, has many incarnations of reincarnation, in addition to the evil and good war, to save the gods of heaven and mankind, and become the most famous one of the three gods of protection. Since then, Brahma has been feverishly pioneering the world with his descendants, saving or destroying it.

4. The Sword of Damocles

Dionysius (430-367 BC), the king of Syracuse in eastern Sicily in the fourth century BC, fought against the power of the nobility and established an Athenian-style democratic regime, but was met with dissatisfaction and opposition by the nobility, which made him feel that although he had a great deal of power, his position was unreliable.

On one occasion he spoke to his favorite, Damocles, about this problem and made his views known to him in a figurative way. He, in order to satisfy the greed of his favorite Damocles a little, entrusted him with the palace and gave him full power to fulfill any of his desires.

This vanity-seeking, hotly snobbish Damocles was at a great feast when he looked up and saw, under the ceiling above his seat, a long, sharp sword hanging heavy and upside down, with the hilt tied only by a piece of horsehair, and about to fall on his head, and was so frightened that he fled from his seat.

At this King Dionysius then came forward and said, "This sharp sword (on Damocles' head) is the symbol of the danger that threatens the king every minute, and as for the king's happiness and well-being, it is only an outward phenomenon."

C. Famous Foreign Folk Tales

Foreign Folk Tales:

The Happy Princess in the Pig Pen In a big castle, there was a beautiful princess named Isha. She wore beautiful clothes every day, with a golden crown and curly hair. Every day she had a servant to brush up her long curls and six maids to keep her safe while she played. Everyone thought she was the happiest child in the world, but Princess Isha didn't think so, and she looked unhappy every day. "Baby, you are the happiest child in the world." The queen always said this to her. One morning, Isha jumped out of bed and exclaimed, "I never want to be a princess again. It's so boring!" Then she took off her crown and threw it into the goldfish pond outside her window. The attendants quickly reported the king. A Complete List of Foreign Folk Tales What are some of the foreign folk tales (Photo credit: Regent.com) "Fish up your crown!" The king ordered. Isha said, "I don't want it! I don't want to be a princess! Princesses can't do anything fun!" The king was so angry his hair stood on end, "Take her to the pigsty before she fishes the crown out of the goldfish pond!" The attendants took Isha to the pigsty ...... Isha began to feed the pigs, clean the pigsty, and so on. The piglets gently arched her with their pink noses. Three days later, the king came to see her, "Isha, you look dirty." "Yes. But did you know that piglets eat potatoes?" Isha touched her weed-like hair. The king yelled, "I'm going to give you one last chance to go get your crown out of the goldfish pond." "I won't!" Isha shouted, "I'd rather help in the pigsty!" When night fell, the king salvaged his daughter's crown, and then he went to her in the pigsty. The king sat side by side with Isa, "You're dirty, but you look happy!" "Yes, Father!" Isha said happily, "This is the happiest time of my life!" "Well." The king sighed and said, "Here's your crown, come back when you want. I miss you!" "Father, I can wear the crown anytime I want." Isha said, "Maybe I can wear it when I pick blueberries. Did you know that you can make sauce from blueberries?" "I didn't know that." The king said, "But you could make it for me to try." The king kissed his daughter's dirty cheek and she kissed him on the nose. Then they went back to the castle, hand in hand. Later, Isha would still often go to work in the pigsty.

D. What are the European folk tales

In the European folk tales, the German story is always interesting, the most interesting probably counts "The Strange Adventures of the Blowhard King" (or "Münchhausen's Strange Travels"), blowing sky-high and seems to have a basis for everything, a piece of lard fishing dozens of mallard ducks, the cherry kernel into the head of the deer grew into a cherry tree, and as a child it is I'm going to read this book while I'm laughing.

British folk tales seem to inherit more Homeric narrative style, "Canterbury Tales" is the most typical, it seems that the author himself is not very concerned about whether the storyline is interesting, but spent a lot of effort in the narrative techniques, most of the stories are always playing the heavy historical traces, the Ghost Rider, martyrdom of saints, smugglers love, black dragon ...... are all symbols of the long Middle Ages, and Gulliver's Travels is actually an ironic commentary on English society at the time. So much so that the later Paradise Lost, and then the later Three Steps of the Lord of the Rings (which, I steal, suggests that the archetypal dark forces in the Lord of the Rings are in fact the Mongols that Europeans were talking about at the time), all carry the imprint of this tradition.

E. What are the foreign myths

There are four major mythological systems extant in foreign countries.

Myth, as a special ideology, is a product of a certain historical stage, which is characterized by collectivity, figurativeness and fantasy. The core of myth is faith, that is, the belief that what is said in the myth is true. In the era in which they were produced, myths had strong authority and functionality. For the people of that era, myths were both a web of knowledge and a code of conduct for real life. It has been said that myth is the Bible of primitive society.

Myth is the earliest comprehensive cultural creation of mankind in the primitive era in terms of its manifest form; in terms of its manifest form, it is the ideology of primitive mankind; in terms of its function, it is a way for primitive mankind to know the world, to grasp the world, and a code of conduct for maintaining interpersonal relationships, and it is the earliest cultural synthesis created by mankind. For us modern people, myth is a kind of symbol (sign) system, that is to say, its outward appearance and the meaning behind it are inconsistent, its "meaning is greater than the form", so there is a problem of "deciphering" the myth, which is the obvious difference between myth and history. This is the obvious difference between myth and history.

Because myth is one of the oldest cultural creations, all primitive groups have created their own myths. To summarize, from the emergence of myths to maturity, generally through such three stages. That is, from the myth of living things to the myth of elves, and then to the highly personalized myth of heroes. Of course, different countries and peoples due to different conditions of existence and differences in historical development, the specific forms of these three stages are different, but the general framework is more or less the same. Some backward peoples, such as the Aborigines of Australia, whose myths are still in the first stage, provide us with living fossil samples. In the process of historical development, many primitive communities died out, and the myths they created disappeared with them. The myths that exist and have a complete system are generally considered to be five major systems:

I. Ancient Indian Myths

The formation of Indian myths is closely related to its own history. Around 3000 B.C., civilization appeared in the Indus Valley, around 2000 B.C., a southward-migrating Aryans invaded India, and after numerous wars, their power entered the Ganges Valley from the Indus Valley and enslaved the local natives, so that the Indus Valley's indigenous civilization has been destroyed as well as changed. Ancient Indian mythology is mainly preserved in the Vedas, Brahma's Book of the Past, Vishnu's Book of the Past, Shiva's Book of the Past, Roc's Book of the Past, Ramayana, Mahabharata and other books.

Though our mythology has its own peculiarities, such as premature historicization and moralization, the general trend is the same. The myths in the Shanhaijing may represent the first stage. And by the generation of Huangdi, if its historicizing and moralizing components are removed, it should belong to the heroic myth. The Yellow Emperor was a synthesis of a supreme god, a god of thunder and lightning, a heroic ancestor, and a cultural hero. Included in this complex is a long process from the emergence of patriarchal communes, through the struggle between the tribes, to the gradual formation of the Huaxia nation, in which the Yellow Emperor has united the creation of the people and the people's faith.

F. Abroad, Folktales

Internationally renowned American folklorist Stee Thompson (1885-1970) is a fruitful result of decades of research into folklore. The book utilizes historical-geographical research methods to sort, arrange, and categorize the folktales circulating around the world, to explore the development and evolution of various types of stories, and to explore the kernel of the formation of different types of stories and the moral concepts declared by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, in order to reveal the primitive aspects of the stories, and to provide an opportunity to understand the folklore, religion, sorcery, morality, law, language, art, and the social life of mankind. The book provides a wealth of information for understanding the folklore, religion, sorcery, morality, law, language, art, and the mentality of human beings in social life, as well as for understanding and researching the world's folklore. This is a valuable academic work with detailed story material, and later refined to the theory of mother-in-law.
