However, in our country, most people stay in the level that Bible is just a religious classic. The author thinks that only thinking about the bible and the origin of western literature and the relationship then we can fully understand the bible and hold the thread of the development of western literature.Key Words Bible western literature influnce 1. The OriginThe bible is a source of western civilization (namely Hebrew and Greek civilization civilization). In the Old Testament inherit that the Hebrew civilization's idea, legal system, religious tradition and poetry folk. In the New Testament, Bible is embodies more about Hebrew, Greek civilization civilization and the union, which in practice laid before and after the Mediterranean region of the Eurasian cultural phenomenon ideological basis, forms the ubiquitous and ancient language expression characteristic. Culture of history in the sense of "western civilization" and the development of religion "Christ letter Yang" have a strong relationship. In the bible, the Adam and eve ate the forbidden fruit is god punish, it is human original sin.Everyone born of guilty, and thus to die to enter heaven, must take a lifetime toRepent, the prayer. Adam and eve forbidden fruit is people's desire inflation, later in the literature, the performance of desire inflation, human greed and become the themes. Dante's "divine comedy.With "bible" as the chief languages, divided into the hell, "purgatory" heaven "three parts. In the name of Christ arrives in doing business ordination, extortion, dissolute and reckless. Hemingway's "the old Man and the sea "according to the idea of the details of the crucifixion, will the old man compared to the embodiment of Jesus. More work with "the bible." as a template, many become human's classic. Western cultural phenomenon it is a typical Christian characteristics, which also make the bible all ethnic groups in the countries of the social life. Meanwhile, culture process was held in unique or supreme status, and causes it to western countries the people's thinking, mentality and culture colour. All those produce the effect of all-round, and make its traditional in the very great degree constitute a "bible" thinking characteristics, theme characteristic, even the language features.2. Bible and Renaissance of the Western LiteratureThe 15th century is the end of the middle ages, and the European ushered in the Renaissance. This period in economic and cultural capitalism has dominated the his place, and relatively have certain right. Advocate human nature; By liberation desire against abstinence Lord justice; Teach right against the capitalist thoughts became the core content of humanistic thought. These thoughts in a period in this part of the literary works. However, the western society after hundreds of years of Christian spirit and culture after the baptism, the church, the bible, and Christian has become the western world do not replace the spiritual pillar. They are still always to the whole of the western world all aspects of influence. So, although appeared "giants biography of this kind of human liberation advocated individual character, attacking the church, religious evil done humanism work, but as Christianity and the influence of the Christ consciousness habit, make the humanistic criticism and works of Christian and teach only rebel of the right of the moral level. In the early middle ages, feudals keen on in, the contempt culture, the monks were made exclusive culture education status. Christianity in the ideological rule, inevitably affected the whole culture area, all culture and academic developed strong religious color. "The church put all academic into the theology. They put the philosophy as a" theology minions ", the science is seen as the "religious servant". Literature and art is also used to ask a religious service. Poetry is to write the chanting and prayer, learning music is to sing hymns and rhetoric became the sermon of art, they are in order to write essays confessions and of saints and of the godfather, drama is called to service the bible story and signs of the saints. And this time most of the western literature shows that the Christian tradition consciousness of the inheritance and the integration of the society at that time, political and so on, in order to investigate, blends together the religious values and read feeling, make the literary creation and religious complex complementary, and they both solid role. Main show this period of most of the works in language writing technique.3. Bible and Modern Western Literature The middle ages to the Renaissance Europe is the European theological rule. But modern Europe's first bourgeois revolution, which are inherited from the medieval theological as a revolutionary thought weapon, such as Martin Luther, Calvin movement, the church of England reform, etc. So under the banner of religion revolution, the literary creation continue to be the influence of Christian culture.18th century Europe lifted the bourgeois enlightenment, Christianity was the relentless challenge atheism, religious fervor among the masses gradually cooling down. Since then, the countries of the western bourgeois revolution will completely abandoned the banner of religion. The ideological weapon already no longer is theology, but all sorts of bourgeois social theories, such as Rousseau's social contract theory ", liberty, equality and fraternity, the slogan, etc. Western literature and the relationship between Christian and took on another change,which were namely in mutual complement each other or conflict. Although medieval Christian doctrine of the diagram that naked literature has not saw, but because of the writers of one generation was born and raised in Christian atmosphere and die of old age, Christian influence could not great in their works regularly in expression comes out.4. The Far-reaching InfluenceThe bible itself is a classic literature works. From the new testament Jesus was born started to write on, after missionary, to arrest, crucified, make the reader feelings surging, and is the climax of the place of Jesus rose from the dead, rose up to heaven. The plot of the works of literature of western later plot also play an important influence. Now people will this scenario to as "U structure", be in writing when home work, if the circumstances are smooth, have the effect of circling, such making that the heroine image books more plump and more profound performance character image so as to move the reader. Such as, Dante and Peter pull g in the song collection "and" new "world of the description of love. Peter pull g in the song set "in the spouse Laura called" virgin " Dante in the new "BeiDeLi described in mining, put her sublimate became pure beautiful, even unattainable" angel ", or even a "virgin". A description of the female, compared him to the virgin Mary and angel, this is a common form of Christ language, in medieval knight literature and love poem was often appear, here and Peter pull g that Dante is continuation of, at the same time, in its and Peter, based on the age of the combined the language characteristics, created can give readers feel the impact and appropriate "Pete's pull g metaphors. The new testament is use imagery and symbolism most place, Jesus speech is metaphor and symbolism, and there are also numerous full of vitality of the image. Biblical imagery and symbol extremely rich literariness, with vivid language sign reveals the richness of life content, so be writers inexhaustible literature rhetoric.5. The ConclusionThe bible is not only a Christian religious history phenomenon but also a kind of thinking emotional ways. Its concept and spirit deeply influence the westerners to historical society, human destiny, personal life and other issues.In short, the Christian in the western world after rooted has been in economy, politics, society and culture in the face of western society in party has a profound influence on the Christian consciousness also become a kind of western social and cultural habits, British writer charlotte's word that the western literature and religion-Christian relationship.Jane Eyre by the second edition of the preface, "said:" for Christian world was born and grew up in the people, the bible's words and rhythm, and will also printed on his mind, as he thought, that forms part of the quotes the bible words, all don't know is by the bible." Can say no Christian and the "bible" have no, Goethe's Faust, Dante's "divine comedy, Rousseau confessions and works great spread in the world. Christianity and western literature the relationship between the two is like plants and soil, the plant can never from soil and live independently, and soil without the growth of plants will lose the meaning of existence, therefore Christianity impact on western literature will be long exist.Bibliographies1 洪兴祖.楚辞补注M.北京:中华书局,1983.3(2009.9 重印).P1282 潘啸龙,蒋立甫.诗骚诗学与艺术C.上海:上海古籍出版社,2004.5.P133 潘啸龙.屈原与楚辞研究C安师大选修课自印教材.P3254 关煜平.中国传统文化中的时间观念J.郑州大学学报.2002.5.第65期5
