This thesis examines the similarities and differences in features among the four literary texts of Dong Yong and the Seventh Fairy, namely Dong Yong bianwen (董永变文), Dong Yong Yu Xian zhuan (董永遇仙传), Tian Xian Pei baojuan(天仙配宝卷>)and Chinese opera Tian Xian Pei (天仙配). A detailed analysis of the story pattern, plots and ending identified distinct developmental changes in the literary texts. Subsequent scrutiny of these texts suggests that cultural, social, and communication aspects contribute significantly to the transformation. One important explanation attributes this to variation within the multifarious states of disparate societies spanning numerous dynasties, thereby precipitating the observed evolutionary changes. The disparity in accounts between the literary texts accentuates the capability of this legend in expressing unique ideological features of each dynasty and the practices indigenous to that time. Albeit the legend underwent multiple content modifications over time, the fundamental historical character and roots that defined it was conserved. The concomitant assimilation of cultural and social quintessence of various dynasties demonstrated the flexibility of this legend in maintaining its roots while propagating the best teachings. Consequently, the comprehensive analysis of these differences will offer an insight towards appreciating its value and comprehending the underlying dynamics behind this literary evolution.
