Folk literature refers to literary works that originate from the people and focus on people's lives.

The development and growth of online literature could not be separated from the support and recognition of the government and all walks of life. At the same time, it also received widespread attention and praise from the literary world and all walks of life.

There were many similarities between Chinese and foreign literature. For example, they both paid attention to human emotions and the inner world, and discussed life philosophy and social issues. However, there were also many differences, such as cultural background, historical traditions, art forms, and so on. Chinese literature has a long history and a profound traditional culture. Chinese literature emphasized emotions and human nature, often describing the inner world of characters and the changes in emotions, such as classic works such as Dream of the Red Chamber and Water Margins. Chinese literature also paid attention to social reality and people's lives, such as historical dramas such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West. Foreign literature originated from novels such as One Hundred Years of Solitude and 1984, which emphasized personality and freedom and often depicted the spiritual world and behavior of characters. Foreign literature also paid attention to social reality, such as novels like The Catcher in the Rye and Jane Eyre. In terms of artistic forms, Chinese literature usually uses classical literary forms such as poetry, prose, opera, etc. while foreign literature uses modern literary forms such as novels, plays, movies, etc. Chinese literature focused on words and liked to use rhetoric, while foreign literature focused more on description and narration.

Online literature usually refers to the literary works published on the Internet, including novels, essays, poems, etc., which are modern and open, different from traditional literature. Although online literature and traditional literature were very different in form and content, it was still controversial to classify it as folk literature. This was because folk literature generally referred to literary forms that originated from the people and were created by the people, with distinct epochal and regional characteristics. However, the main creators of online literature are usually young people. They come from different social classes and cultural backgrounds, and their motives and purposes are also different. Online literature often pursued novelty, excitement, and entertainment rather than the traditional seriousness and profundity. Therefore, from these aspects, online literature and traditional literature were not consistent and did not have clear characteristics of folk literature. Although there are differences in form and content between online literature and traditional literature, it is also an independent form of literature that should be classified and evaluated independently.
