Abstract

The fairy tale is by no means created by children.In the first place it is an adult narration, and what's more, its audiences are adults.The fairy tale stemmed from folks, and its story elements existed in various literary styles such as myth, legend and fable.However, it has gradually become an independent style with some misunderstandings of the implications of "fairy tale" and intellectuals' unknowing narrative "tactics" before and after Enlightenment.The independence of fairy tale indicates human beings' discovery of their "childhood", which has a far-reaching significance.

Key words： fairy tale; misunderstanding; tactic; Enlightenment
