The Essence of Literature as the Symbol of Life Pain: Comparative Analysis of Travel Literature in Chinese

Travel literature is a very important literary phenomenon in the history of both Chinese and world literatures. It is the literary prototype for the civilization of mankind. The most important tradition for travel literatures both in Chinese and in the world is the statement of life pain through literary creation. Travel literature has prototype meanings as well as long traditions in the value composition of Chinese literature or even entire Chinese culture. Travel literature in Chinese has richer cultural accumulation, and is easier to cast away from the influence and coverage of powerful foreign literature, from which to win its own independence. Although it is extremely convenient for residents in Hong Kong, Macau, and other Chinese communities in the world to travel, there have been no influential publications of travel literature until now. Such a crisis in travel literary writing has been caused by the fact that the writers in the Chinese language cannot know the key point of travel literature as the symbol of life pain.
