《桃太郎》的故事大约出现在日本的室町时代,是日本最著名的民间故事,在全国范围内家喻户晓,尤其是深受小孩子的喜爱。但是,随着时代的变迁,因政治形势的需要,具有良好民众基础的民间童话故事《桃太郎》曾被一些文人多次改编,增加了代表近现代日本的日之丸扇子等等。他们用虚构的形式将统治者的意志或“集体情绪”注入民间童话故事中,按照一种特定的方式去构想未来并作艺术的描绘。 The story of Momotaro appears in Japan’s Muromachi period and is Japan’s most famous folk story, widely known throughout the country, especially loved by children. However, with the change of the times, due to the needs of the political situation, Momotaro, a folk fairy tale with a good people base, has been repeatedly adapted by some writers and added to the fan of Japan’s Maruyama who represents modern Japan. They use the fictional form to inject the will or “collective emotion” of rulers into folk fairy tales, to conceive the future and portraying the arts in a particular way.
