中文摘要：

在世界各国的文学与艺术作品中，都有魔法或者巫术的魅影闪现，这是因为世界各地的人类祖先都是通过巫术思维来理解世界的。然而，因为地域与文化的差异，不同民族的文学对魔法与巫术表现出不同的态度与倾向。欧洲古代文学中建构的巫术形象大多数偏向负面，而中国古代文学中的道士、方士则多数以正面形象出现。中西方迥异的宗教文化与诉求是造成这种差异的主要原因。

英文摘要：

There are magic or witchery phantoms in the literary and artistic works of all nations,for the ancient peo-ple all over the world attempted to comprehend the world through witchery thinking. The regional and cultural diver-sity caused some differences in representing witchery in different national literature. The image of witches is general-ly negative in western classic literature,and mostly positive in Chinese classic literature. The difference in witchery representation results from the different religious culture and religious appeal in different nations.
