This paper aims to present Research On Fairy character in Chinese Classic Novel in Vietnam Ancient time. The study shows: firstly, the authors of legendary novels always emphasize the indelible difference between the two worlds: the fairy world and the earthly world. Second, it is inevitable that fairies leave family ties in the mortal world. Authors often describe that necessity with a conception of a pre-determined period of time. When the due date comes, the fairy will move from the earthly world to the world that belongs to the fairy. Third, in that difference, the choice to leave the earthly world and go to the fairy world shows that fairies tend to leave the tightest ties in the world, which are the ties of power and family, to become to the free world. It can be concluded that the ideal of escapism of fairies in Vietnamese legends is a form of expression of the Taoist ideal of life.
