The Writing and Dissemination of Classical Chinese Images from the Per-spective of Cultural Comparison:Taking the Story of Ban Jieyu in Chinese and Japanese Poetry as an Example
The key to telling a good Chinese story lies in the"integration"of the story.Taking the image of Ban Jieyu in classical Chinese and Japanese poetry as an example,this study examines the writing and dis-semination of Chinese classical imagery in cross-cultural contexts.It is found that Chinese poetry mostly focus-es on shaping the image of Ban Jieyu as a virtuous consort,with hidden Confucian connotations behind it;Jap-anese Chinese poetry focuses on amplifying its"sorrowful"image,reflecting the tradition of Japanese literature that is"detached from politics.".The differences in the portrayal of Ban Jieyu's image in Chinese and Japanese poetry are not only based on the cultural traditions of the two countries,but also the result of the integration of Chinese classical imagery into foreign cultural contexts.The key to Chinese stories going global lies in focusing on the cultural concerns of overseas audiences,and achieving exchange and mutual learning with overseas cul-tures through two-way influence and integration,enhancing the overseas dissemination and influence of Chi-nese stories.
