摘要：
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is one of the most popular fairy tales in American children’s literature. It not only pleases children but also interprets American culture. The story is about the adventure of a girl named Dorothy in the Land of Oz. The author, Baum, had indicated the American economic fight between silver and gold standard in this novel. Oz is the abbreviation of ounces, which is the weighting unit of these precious metals. Since, American government had adopted gold standard after this economic crisis, it means that the Populist Party supported by Baum had lost the election of American President at last. The pair of silver shoes, Dorothy worn, had disappeared forever, represented that silver standard had never been adopted by American government. Therefore, we can understand American culture by the study of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
