I studied the source, type, characteristic, and import of the fairy tale in Buddhist magazine at modern times in this essay. Most of the fairy tales in Buddhist magazine at modern times made retelling the tale transmitted in the light of the real of nation and Buddhism community, the situation of children who were in an awkward situation in such condition, and the dream of them, as the fairy tale transmitted. And part of them is the fairy tale from creation that made fresh production reflect the reality in those days but partly borrowed motif in the tale transmitted.
These fairy tale intended to illuminate the virtue needed in children, saying Buddhist meaning ultimately but here is the complex problems regarding the real of nation and Buddhism community, the children of Buddhism community, and the children general in those days.
In this point, the fairy tales in Buddhist magazine at modern times have significance for the cultural movement intended for children in the 1920’s. And the fairy tales is significant as the aspect of modern variations in connection with the handing down of tale in that they made the most of the type and motif in the tale transmitted and made retelling them in the light of the real at modern times.
