Abstract

There are significant differences in the portrayal of “immortal” in Chinese and Western fables. This paper selects the two most representative texts of Chinese and Western fables - Zhuangzi and Aesop’s Fables. Using the method of text analysis, this paper finds that the creation of the image of “immortal” in Chinese and Western fables is related to the living environment of two nations and the author of the two texts.
