What's the difference between Grimm's fairy tales and Andersen's fairy tales?

There are different language ways: Grimm's Fairy Tales always begins with "a long time ago", and Snow White begins with "a long time ago, there was a queen sitting by a window of the palace, sewing for her daughter." But Andersen's fairy tales do not have such a fixed pattern, but describe what is happening now. The little match girl began with "It's very cold, it's snowing, and it's getting dark". Go straight to the story.

2. The sources of fairy tales are different: The Grimm brothers' fairy tales mainly come from folk tales. At that time, the retro thought in German culture was serious, and many scholars joined in the excavation and arrangement of folk stories, especially the brothers Grimm. Engels once said that in the northwest of Germany, there are still endless' wilderness', rainy nights and lightning flashes and other sad scenes, which are the places where Grimm's fairy tales are produced and the places where the remains in the fairy tales are preserved.

Most of Andersen's fairy tales come from his own creation. The biography of Andersen said that one day Andersen seriously thought about who needed him to write for it most, and his answer was Danish children. Especially poor children. Because he was lonely, he had no chance to go to school, no toys or even friends. In order to make these children's miserable lives a little warm, he wants to bring them beautiful things and make them love life, beauty and truth.

3. Different ways of expression: In Grimm's fairy tales, inversion is often used, which, as the name implies, violates the established realistic logic and reverses the characteristics of things and the relationship between things to some extent. In Andersen's fairy tales, exaggeration is often used. Exaggeration is to consciously enlarge and emphasize some characteristics of the described object in order to highlight its essential characteristics and enhance the artistic effect.
