Abstract

Fables in ancient Chinese literature, as significant carriers of cultural heritage, embody profound ideological connotations and artistic value. This study focuses on ancient Chinese fables to explore their formation and development within historical contexts, as well as their influence on subsequent literary works and intellectual traditions. By systematically examining fable texts from the pre-Qin period to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the study reveals their narrative characteristics, symbolic meanings, and social functions, thereby deepening the understanding of the cultural significance and aesthetic qualities of fables in ancient Chinese literature. Employing a combination of textual analysis and comparative research, the study examines the forms and thematic evolutions of fables across different historical stages from philosophical, ethical, and literary-critical perspectives. The findings indicate that fables not only possess educational and admonitory functions but also demonstrate authors' acute insights into and critical reflections on social realities. Moreover, the cross-cultural transmission of fables highlights their role as a bridge in Sino-foreign cultural exchanges. A key innovation of this research lies in its holistic examination of fables within a dynamic historical fr amework, complemented by a re-interpretation of their structural features through modern narrative theory. This approach provides new perspectives and methodological support for future studies in related fields. Ultimately, the research contributes to a renewed appreciation of the unique value of ancient Chinese fables and their position within the global cultural system.
