A Study on the Archetype of East-West Literature

Granted tracing the archetype of East-West literature is a challenging task, but ignorance on the archetype is likened to a plant whose roots have been cut off. Here, the archetype means that it becomes the archetype in the transmitted process. When discussing the archetype of East-West literature, the most important thing is to grasp the flow and genealogy of literature. The great literary works in the ancient era have had a great influence on the works in the other literary regions, and the initial works gradually have been transformed and transmitted. The literary works in the ancient era is laid on the foundation of the religious thought. Suppose a scholar do not recognize the flow and genealogy of literature along with those of religion. If he knew Sufi literature within the Islamic Sufism, he would not analyze it correctly. Because Sufism is the Aryans’ thought system and has a history of more than 3500 years. Until now research on the literary works has been focused on the similar contents and language’s classification, not the literary flow and genealogy. As a result, the core thoughts of East-West literature were separated from the essence of the first works, and some works have lost their exact meaning and drifted away. After correcting the fallacies and distortions of the archetype in literature, you will realize the meaning of literary works from a completely different perspective. So reestablishing the archetype of literature is a immensely important task.
