Abstract

As essential imagery in Chinese and Western poetry, the moon imagery has high academic research value. However, few studies have compared the moon imagery in Chinese and Western poetry from the perspective of comparative literature. This article uses literature analysis and comparison method to compare and analyze the moon imagery in classic Chinese and Western poems from four aspects: connotation and theme of the moon imagery, poetry expression techniques, rhetorical devices, and language characteristics. Furthermore, the study discusses the cultural and literary reasons for the difference in the moon imagery. The study serves to understand better and compare the differences between Chinese and Western literature and culture and provides some insights for cultural communication and comparison.
