Abstract
In the context of globalization, Chinese college students’ spoken English anxiety presents deep cultural symptoms. From the perspective of the Chinese language and the literature, this study uses classical literary theory as an analytical tool to reveal the implicit discipline of English expression by mother tongue cultural genes. Through the study of historical texts, the dual cultural drivers of anxiety, which are the material constraint of thinking in Chinese characters and the difficulty of transplanting the literary aesthetic paradigm, are identified. Conclusion The creative transformation of traditional literary theory resources should be used to establish a dynamic balance between classical Chinese genes and modern communication.
