Stories within stories, this is another important artistic feature of "One Thousand and One Nights". Many stories, when they are about to come to an end, suddenly have something extra, a new person appears, and another story begins. For example, in "The Story of the Businessman and the Devil", the story should have ended when the businessman was about to be killed by the devil, but suddenly three old men ran out, and then "The Story of the First Old Man and the Antelope" began again. , "The Second Old Man and the Hound's Tale" and "The Third Old Man and the Mule's Tale." Combining stories with similar themes to turn small stories into "big" stories is one of the characteristics of folk oral literature. This also helps to increase the audience's interest, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. The third feature of the creation of "One Thousand and One Nights" is that poetry and prose complement each other. This feature is an innovation based on inheriting the tradition of Arabic classical literature. This collection of stories is mainly written in easy-to-understand vernacular Chinese in terms of narrative description and scenery, and is supplemented by the singing and poetry of the characters in the story to further highlight the theme. "One Thousand and One Nights" contains more than 1,200 poems (or stanzas), most of which are lyric poems with neat rhyme, vivid and smooth rhythm. To this day, these popular poems are still recited among the people, and some of them have even become the lyrics of Arabic songs, widely circulated among the masses and deeply loved by everyone.
"One Thousand and One Nights" has uniquely had a great influence on literature, music, drama, painting and other literary and artistic fields in Western countries. Famous works such as Boccaccio's "The Decameron" in Italy, Lessing's poetic drama "The Wise Man" in France, and "Don Quixote" by Cervantes in Spain are all more or less different in terms of material and writing style. Very few were directly or indirectly influenced by "One Thousand and One Nights". The unique artistic charm of "One Thousand and One Nights" and its easy-to-understand characteristics have enabled it to be widely circulated around the world and become very popular. It is worthy of being an Arabic masterpiece with worldwide significance.
