格林童話故事集

This app contains many wonderful stories

Grimm's fairy tales originated in the early 19th century. At this time, the German region under the rule of the Holy Roman Empire was loosely structured and lacked unity in terms of state and nation. In 1806, the French Emperor Napoleon formed the Rhine Confederation, abolishing the Holy Roman Empire, and also aroused the awakening of German nationalism, and a large number of intellectuals threw themselves into the national liberation movement. However, the differences between the principalities and free cities, including language and culture, have become obstacles to the formation of a unified national spirit.

In order to remove this cultural obstacle, some intellectuals began to advocate cultural nationalism. While adhering to the spirit of romanticism, they also turned their attention to the field of folk culture and tradition, starting from collecting and studying folk literature and art, and relying on folk songs, ballads and fairy tales. In this context, the Brothers Grimm began to collect fairy tales and stories that were widely circulated in German folk and contained German national characteristics.

Among them, "Cinderella", "Snow White", "Little Red Riding Hood", "The Brave Little Tailor" and other famous works have become masterpieces loved by children all over the world.
