Abstract:Mo Yan was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2012, which marked the increasing global influence of Chinese literature. The foundation for the international acceptance of his fictions rests in the characteristic Chinese cultural elements implicated in these works and the universal human sentiments expressed therein. Besides, the effective cross-cultural dissemination of Mo Yans works is attributed to the superb translation by the overseas sinologists. In his literary creation, Mo Yan not only describes the Chinese folk culture, but also suggests some cosmopolitan cultural concepts. The study of these cultural resources will be beneficial for strengthening and enriching the supportive system of Chinas cultural soft power.
