Cultural depositon and creation of literary images

The creation of literary images is much influenced and conditioned especially by cultural tradition. In this paper "the sun" is cited as an example of the literary image to demonstrate that the implication of literary images involves both historical depositions and transformations in the creation. It is also pointed out from the angle of esthetics that the cultural background of individual reader is a decisive factor that influences the understanding of literary image.
