Abstract

Both China and the Arab World are famous for their ancient literature history. Accordingly, a large number of ancient proses and poems appeared in both two regions in the earlier time. Then, those kinds of literary arts developed through different ages, just as the criticism, rhetoric and other knowledge concerned with the literature did, and there’re many similarities as well as differences between the developmental process of ancient Chinese literature and the ancient Arab literature. In the tide of globalization, the earth has become much smaller thanks to the development of technology. Thus, more and more Chinese people desire to know about the Arab world, just as the Arab people want to know about China, so the contacts between them have been intensified, such as the exchanges in the field of ancient literature. To enhance the study of the ancient Arabic and Chinese literature, we need to pay more attention to their developmental track including their origins, developmental stages, achievements, and representatives, etc. This modest paper aims to study the above topics based on the documentary method. It will also resort to the descriptive-analytical approach and the comparative approach to solve the related problems.
