On the Narrative in the Historical Fiction and its Development in the Context of Cultural Transformation

The historical fiction in China enjoys exceptional advantages. Actually, however, it is since the end of the 1970s that it has begun to flourish, making a strong impact on the contemporary Chinese literature. It includes three categories: the traditional historical fiction, the neo-historical fiction, and the revolutionary his- torical fiction. So far as its linear development is concemed, the historical fiction haS pe bough be stages: (1)the springing-up stage (beginning at the end of the 1970s with the publication of the first two vol- umes of "Li Zicheng ", an anti-feudal novel, as its milestone); (2) the transitional stage (beginning in 1983 to the late 1980s with the appearance of non-political fiction, but not as lively as the first stage); and (3)the multi-compound stage (beginning from the 1990s and characterized by diversity and personalization).
