Therefore, this two seemingly"irrelevant" to work with a comparative study of the possibility and necessity. Thisarticle will compare the integrated use of cross-cultural study of parallel study ofliterature, research methods subject, the "Journey to the West" and "Faust", jointlyowned by several groups of motif and context, including "save","Pursuit""Good andEvil,""Body and Soul","innocence and Carnival," and so a comparative analysis,which makes the two works are more personal form of emancipating the mind clear andcoherent external and internal nature of a more clearly defined and make our peopleunderstand the East and West shared thoughts and feelings and aesthetic tastes, toexplore the motif of these similarities hidden behind the cultural and aestheticdifferences, the display of the more striking in the different German literary charm andunique personality."Save" motif is one of the driving motive power for development of the plot of thetwo works, and includes two forms of self-redemption and save others. Self-redemptionis the Monkey King of the sky, as well as important factors for the Tang Monk disciplesto go on a pilgrimage for Buddhist scriptures, motive power is also floating explorationFaust life and save others the two works have become the hero pursue action to highermoral goals. This similarity of forms implies a common human values, from the"self-redemption" terms, self-improvement, proactive, realize their own value, thepursuit of liberation and freedom are the shared values of German literature. From "saveothers" point of view, in benefit of the population, Puchi Tami is in the Germanliterature of the concept of the maximum value. But the two works of different culturalbackgrounds and to determine the appearance of similar must be hidden under a lot ofdifferent qualities.

On the one hand, the two long-term useof both the spread of reform has a strong history of religious stories or folklore, thestory plot structure placed in the framework of a religion, and promote the elements ofplot development, the outcome has a similar search, coincidentally the same time havetaken on a transcendent religion, creative attitude, showing a distinctive, contemporarycolors; the other hand, similar to the attitude of religious stories and writing under theframework have different connotations, such as religion, the actual penetration to tracethe relationships within the team Dengjun different, show a different spirit of secularism:"Journey to the West" is a personality under the impact of Confucian thought culturalvalues,"Faust" is a new spirit of humanism." Good and evil" Motif in two Department works in the hosted with valueevaluation of significance. It's external form similar, performance for several groupopposition of character image system: absolute of good and absolute of evil of conflict,and good and evil of factors mutual interwoven of conflict, and hero itself internal ofgood evil conflict, but its connotation differences larger, in journey to the under in the,good and evil contradictions conflict of main is two species social forces--justice forcesand evil forces of opposition, good evil opposition both entirely different, and a wellorganized Institute, performance out good evil contradictions of Social, and Absolutesexual, its evaluation standard is was has a liberation trend impact of Confucian secularethics values; and floating scholar de under more stressed has humanity ofdiversification performance, good and evil of contradictions originated from spirit andmeat of conflict, it more reflected for people of inherent world of contradictions conflict,and because works in the exists of two species value evaluation system, good and evilperformance for mutual interwoven, and each other transformation of complex form."Soul and body" conflict is always shadow hero with two work tracing the historyof life. First, the passion and spirit in the pursuit of the relationship between the two hadsimilar surface opposite mode, performed as a female OGRE in the journey to theopposition with the hero, in the performance of Faust for the indulgence of the passionsand punishment. In deep spiritual connotation, two works on the mind and body thereare different cognitive and treatments, on the journey to the performance of lust in the negative, the Faust is a dialectical cognition to lust. Finally, the works of two differentways of solving the conflict between passion and spirit of pursuit, journey to theadvocates of the spiritual impulse to kick their instincts and passions, and sublimationof the Faust stands for lust, instinctive impulses into joining the power of social practice,so as to let small distillation of happiness and satisfaction to all mankind, namely thedevelopment of greater self."Childlike innocence" and "spree" is both a Chinese and Western literature appearson two literary theory of concepts, also is in the journey to the West and the Faustliterature motif. Their individual life value realization and promotion of the work thehero play recognition and promotion. Value pursuit of the main two works on individuallives has similar performance in three areas: self-consciousness is the prerequisite andbasis pursuit is to strengthen the vitality and continuity of individual body based onvalue, and pursuit of the meaning of life is the goal and nature reflected, but also inindividual value and social value of relationships, attitudes towards lust meets showedlarge differences in areas such as."Childlike innocence" and "Carnival" is the catalystfor the individual values in the two works, they promote a frank and full of life andpersonality of the human values of freedom and equality, self-esteem and socialharmonious concept of the establishment of, and become the mainstream of the work ofindividual values. At the same time, because of childlike innocence and Carnival is amember of different cultural systems, two works in the realization of individual value ofthe path, facing the shackles of awareness, there is a difference.In short, through the "Journey to the West"and"Faust " Comparative analysis wecan know that personality is both a common appeal for the liberation.Its external shape,structure and internal mechanism of the spiritual nature have the different characteristics,at the same time they show great similarities and similarities.
