What did Grimm's fairy tales teach me?
The principles of the Green Fairy Tale Church are as follows:

Teach everyone not to be too greedy, but to be content. Greed often loses more. Where there are dreams, there is hope for life. As long as you don't give up your dream and continue to work hard for it, one day, success and happiness will come to you.

The concrete introduction of Grimm's fairy tales;

German folk literature is collected, arranged and processed by German linguists jacob green and william green. There are more than 200 stories in Grimm's fairy tales, most of which come from folk oral legends. Among them, Cinderella, Snow White and other fairy tales are famous. It is a classic of fairy tales in the world, which has had a very wide influence in the world since it came out.

Brothers Grimm told the children magical and romantic fairy tales with their rich imagination and beautiful language. China and Japan also have stories based on Grimm's fairy tales.

Background of the times:

The life and creative fate of the Brothers Grimm are inextricably linked with The Romantic Period in German literature. The Romantic Literature Movement, which was born out of the French Revolution, swept across Europe at the turn of the 18- 19 century, and was the first to blossom and bear fruit in this chaotic and backward land of Germany. Germany at that time was the most disastrous nation-state in Europe.

Since the Thirty Years' War (16 18- 1648), Germany, which became the main battlefield, fell apart politically and economically. Although nominally still known as the "Holy Roman Empire", it has actually split into a "Butou feudal empire" structure composed of more than 360 principalities and free cities.

1806, the Napoleonic Wars sweeping Europe completely disintegrated the Holy Roman Empire. Under the conquest and rule of France, the German people's national consciousness was awakened, and their desire for German national unity and strength was unprecedentedly high. In this situation, a large number of intellectuals devoted themselves to the national liberation movement.

However, at this time, the disintegration of German society and the differences between many principalities, including language and culture, became obstacles to national unity. In order to eliminate this cultural obstacle, German intellectuals began to advocate cultural nationalism.

I hope to promote national unity with the help of the ancient Germanic national culture. German romantics in this period, while adhering to the spirit of romantic culture, also turned their attention to the traditional folk culture, sorted out and studied German folk literature, and carried it forward.
