　　The story of the Lena fox originated in French folk. The whole story is composed of 27 groups of poems that have been preserved, with a total of more than 30,000 lines. It is a medieval French folk long narrative poem. The poems were produced from about the middle of the 12th century to the end of the 13th century, and were written successively by many folk poets. Most of the authors of the poems have no way to check. It adopts the method of allegory, depicts people with beasts, and uses irony and humorous strokes to endow the work with strong reality and entertainment. Later, the French modern linguist Lucien Fuller edited these independent poems in order of plot into a complete "The Story of the Lena Fox".

　　"The Story of Lena Fox" is a satirical work that pretends to be the animal world, uses beasts to describe humans, and insinuates human society, thereby exposing the ugliness and corruption of the feudal ruling class. Lion Noble was the supreme feudal ruler. Isanggrand Wolf and Brun the Bear were noble courtiers. And weak animals such as chickens, rabbits, and cats are the vast oppressed class. The image of Lena's fox is very complicated.

　　Although Lenahu was a baron, he dared to play tricks on the king, the powerful, ridiculed the church, and executed courtiers. He appeared as an anti-feudal rebel and a fighter. In the feudal society of the Middle Ages at that time, as the ruling class, the king, the church and the upper class of the aristocracy were autocratic and corrupt, greedy and ugly, but powerful, while as a new burgher class, although vigorous, but weak, it was difficult to compete with the powerful ruling class. contend. Because a fox cannot compete with strong and ferocious wolves, bears, lions, etc., he often fights with them with wit, which is precisely the characteristic of the emerging bourgeoisie.

　　On the other hand, Lena Fox recklessly bullied and killed many weak and defenseless animals representing the working people of the lower classes, and many chickens, rabbits, and birds almost became his belly. From this point of view, he is also the image of the upper class of the urban aristocracy. Through the experience of Lena Fox, the story vividly reflects that the feudal society is a dark, barbaric world full of fraud, plunder and the law of the jungle.

　　As early as the 1920s, the story of the Lena Fox was introduced to China. In 1926, the famous writer Zheng Zhenduo translated "The History of the Fox" from the English version under the pseudonym "Wenji"; in 1929, Jiang Xuekai translated "The Story of the Fox" from the French version; in 1983, the translator Qian Chun Qi published "Lena Fox" translated in poetic style, and the title was changed to "Laneke Fox".

　　In the process of deduction and interpretation of classics over the past dynasties, their original meanings are mostly ignored by people. The same is true of "The Tale of Lena Fox". This book for adults, which originally had a profound meaning, has been translated and adapted by writers to enhance the interest of the story, and is deeply loved by children from all over the world. However, when the beauty and cruelty in the animal kingdom are displayed together in the eyes of children, what will children think? Of course, the world of Lena Fox cannot simply be compared with today's human society, and it is even more different from the pure and lovely world of children, but if they realize that the fairy tale world is not always beautiful, they may have Learned a bit of wisdom from Lena Fox.
