Abstract

The cultural exchanges and communication between China and South Korea not only have a long history, but also become closer with the development of information and convenient transportation. Under the background of the increasingly frequent folk cultural exchanges and the increasing number of Korean Chinese learners and Chinese Korean learners, analyzing the similarities and differences between Chinese and Korean cultures through the comparison of traditional fairy tales can be of great help to the close cultural exchanges between the two countries. This paper selects the Chinese fairy tale "The Wolf grandmother" and the Korean fairy tale "The Brother and Sister turning into the Sun and the Moon" to discuss, in order to provide reference for the language learners and cultural lovers of the two countries.
