Compasion of Western Culture and Chinese Culture
As we all know,there are many differentces between Western culture and Chinese culture.Today I will focus on the culture differences from the myth of heroes part.I will talk the China fairy tales---HouYi shot the sun and the west fairy tale---Oidipous’s story.When the world were young,the sky ever appeared 10 suns together.Their mother was the wife of the emperor of heaven.She often putted her 10 children in the east blue where is the eastest bule in the world.After they had a bath, they stayed for a time in a big tree like a bird.9 suns stayed in the branches which were low.Another one stayed in the treetop.They changed every night.When the daybreak was coming, the sun which stayed in the treetop sat at the vehicle to pa through the sky.The 10 suns changed everyday to bring all living things bright and heat.At that time people lived in the earth happily.People and animals lived like friends and neighbours.Animals putted their children in the nest.They didn’t worry about people to hurt them.People kept the regular hours.They felt grateful for the suns brought them time,bright and happy.But one day, the 10 suns wanted that must real interesting if they visited the sky together.So 10 suns climbed the vehicle together to pa through the sky when the dawn was coming.The people and all living things sufferred disaster.The 10 suns just liked 10 globes with fire.The heat that they gave out baked the earth.The forests caught fire.Many animals died
from fire.And other animals that didn’t die from fire looked for food distractedly.Rivers and seas dried up.All fishes died.Many people and animals died of thirst, crops and fruits died away.And the food for people and animals cutted off.Some people who went out to look for food died of the high heat.People struggled in the fire ocean for survival.At that time, there was a young and handsome hero called HouYi.He was a markmanship.His every shot didi execution in battle.He saw the people who was living in the suffering.So he decided to help them shot another 9 suns.HouYi climbed over 99 mountains, stepped over 99 rivers and croed over 99 gorages.It was a ocean on the foot of a mountain.HouYi opened a million pounds force crobouw and a thousands catties heavy arrow.He aimed at the burning sun in the sky.And then the first sun was shot down.That’s all ,he shot 9 suns.The 9 suns which be shot couldn’t survive.They died one after another.Their bright and heat died away one after another.The sky became darker and darker.Finally it left the only sun.However, the only sun felt frightened.He hided behind the ocean quickly.There was no sun in the sky.The world became dark.People couldn’t survive.So they asked for the emperor of heaven to let the sun out.At the second day, the sun came from the blue.From then on, people lived a happy life.HouYi was made the heavenly general because of the contribution that he saved all people.Finally he married Change.They lived happily.The oidipous’s story:Laius ever robbed the king Pelops and his son Chrysippus in his young.So he suffered the curse that when his sonoidipous was born he woule be killed by his son.So in order to avoid the curse.Laius pricked the baby’s ankle and then throwed in the wild to let him wait for death.But the herdsman who got the aignment was relented.He sanded him to king of Corinth Polybus secretly.They regarded him as their natural son and brought him up.When oidipous growed, he knowed the curse that he would kill his father and marry his mother.He left Corinth and vowed he would never come back when he did not know Corinth’s king and queen is not his natural mother and father.He roved in the neighbouring of Thebes.He happened clash with some strangers in the fork.He killed people with carele, inculding his natural father.At that time Thebes was in trouble by the Sphinx.He woule catch every paer-by to answer his question.If people couldn’t answer his question he would eat the person.In order to escape Sphinx,Thebes announced that the one who could answer the question and save the country , he would succeed the kingship and married widow Jocasta.Finally oidipous answered Sphinx’s question and save the country.He succeed kingship and married his natural mother.They born two daughters and two sons.Later,the country controled by oidipous happened disaster one after another.The king asked the god the reason.Tiresias asked him he was the son of Laius.Finally he still
suffered the fate that he woule kill his father and marry his mother.The sad oidipous blinded his eyes.We can find that in China and Greek’ tale heroes can be ordinary persons or fairy.And from HouYi and oidipous we can see that they are hero and they are both brave.They all have strong responsibility,when they saw people was in trouble.They saved people.They were both respected by people.They have ability.But there are many differences in China and Greek’ tale.In China’ s tale the ordinary hero finally would become fairy,such as HouYi..He became the the heavenly general.He beame fairy from ordinary person.But oidipous just became a king.It can be seen that in China tale hero can become fairy but in Greek tale hero can be aspected but can’t become fairy.In Greek tale, the fairy and ordinary person are trenchant.And in most China’s tale,the hero will have a happy end.HouYi got the honour and married a beautiful wife.He lived happily.But in Greek’s tale ,the hero will have a sad end.Though oidipous got the kingship and marry,but finally he found he killed his father and married his mother,how sad.In the Greek’s tale,the hero most with the shadow of fatalism just like oidipous with the curse but finally he still couldn’t avoid the fatalism.And in China’ tale ,there are little fatalism.China and Greek are both old and famous nation.Their tale hero’s character respect east nation and west nation’ character.It makes sense to
take in other nation’s good character to compasion west culture and east culture.We should learn the tale’s deep meaning to creat a real hero period!
