Abstract

More and more modern literary works begin to show a fox image, the fox was given a lot of mysterious colors. In these works the public was not only attracted by fox itself, but also attracted by the human nature that the content reflects. However, whether in China or Japan, the fox image still has some differences among the sameness. This paper makes a brief comparison of the mainstream fox image in Chinese and Japanese culture, analyzes the humanistic manifestation of the fox image in Chinese and Japanese culture and the cultural differences between China and Japan behind the connotation of human nature.
