Abstract


The “Konjaku Monogatari-shū”(abbreviated as “Konjaku”) was compiled during the late Heian period and is Japan’s largest collection of tales. It is also the fi rst extensive collection that extensively features Chinese themes. This article focuses on Volume 9, Story 44 “Konjaku,” analyzing the similarities and diff erences between this story and similar Chinese narratives. It explores the concept of “loyalty taking precedence over fi lial piety” within the “Konjaku”.
