This research analyses contemporary Chinese fairy tale poetry's challenges – excessive moralism and creativity, or lack thereof, as demonstrated in "Tadpole Grows Legs" and "The Quarrel in Grandpa Dictionary's House." These pedagogical components diminish the beauty and feelings embedded within the works. The investigation calls for a move towards creative storytelling that, with Western critical lenses, teaches morals without being didactic. This strategy would enhance fairy tale poetry from primitive sketches towards more sophisticated designs with clear-cut archetypes that transform complex social realities into simple fantasies while using literature as a medium for education.
