Abstract: The “Chinese stories” widely circulating in world literature are a manifestation of China's cultural soft power. These “Chinese stories” mostly originate from China, and after being introduced to foreign countries, are re-created by foreign writers and integrated with the essence and cultural characteristics of foreign literature, becoming new works that bridge Chinese and foreign literatures. This paper makes a preliminary analysis of this process, categorizing the adaptation and re-creation of “Chinese stories” by foreign writers into five main types: full absorption, modified interpretation, adapted transformation, assimilative localization, and complete reconstruction. At the same time, combined with the theory of narratology, we analyze four narrative paradigms in the process of reconstructing Chinese stories in foreign countries, and combined with the attractiveness of Chinese stories in terms of artistic achievements, cultural values and discourse function, we analyze the artistic inspiration, cultural connotation and cultural values that Chinese stories have provided for the literatures of different countries. This paper argues that the citation of “Chinese stories” in world literature not only spreads the voice of China, but also promotes the exchange of Chinese and foreign cultures and mutual learning as well as the development of world literature.

Key words: Chinese stories, types of citation, narrative research, exchange and mutual learning

摘要： 在世界文学中广泛流传的“中国故事”是中国文化软实力的一种体现。这些“中国故事”多源自中国,在传入异国之后,经过外国文学家的再创作,又融合了外国文学的优秀基因和文化特征,成为融通中外文学的新作品。本文对这一过程进行了初步分析,将外国文学家对“中国故事”的加工和再创作分为全盘吸收、修饰演绎、加工改造、吸收归化、全盘重构等五个主要类型;同时结合叙事学理论,论述“中国故事”征引研究中的四种叙事研究范式,并结合中国故事在艺术成就、文化价值、话语功能三方面的吸引力,分析“中国故事”为各国文学提供的艺术灵感、文化内涵和价值观元素。本文认为,“中国故事”在世界文学中的征引不仅传播了中国声音,而且促进了中外文明交流互鉴,推动了世界文学的发展。
