Sumario:This study aims to examine the historical and present influence of foreign literary processes on Chinese literature, emphasising the integration of cross-cultural influences into Chinese literary forms. A mixed-method approach, incorporating historical, comparative and critical text analysis, was utilised to examine the adaptation and transformation of foreign components in Chinese literary works, notably evaluating contributions from India, Western Europe, Japan and Russia. Research demonstrates that foreign literary exchanges provided significant thematic and stylistic enhancements, including Indian mythological elements, Western realism and Russian psychological depth, each influencing unique literary trends in Chinese literature. Modern Chinese literature evolves through digital platforms, fostering cultural exchange and enhancing its global presence. Incorporating external elements deepens Chinese storytelling and positions it in global literary discourse. Globalisation enriches its cultural uniqueness while integrating universal themes, offering valuable insights for scholars and readers exploring Chinese literature's global significance.
