A Tentative Probe into the Styles of Ancient Oriental Fiction

Ancient oriental fiction is well founded on story-literature; moreover, the traditions of historical literature and the talking-and-singing literature and the powerful lyrical literary discourse exert direct and far-reaching influence on ancient oriental fiction. The main characteristics of this fiction are: the cavalier perspective as genes of story literature, pursuit of artistic truth based on historical truth, the emphasis on clear narration formed through traditions of talking-and-singing literature, the depiction of subjective experience and the creation of the lyrical mood in prose narration. All these stylistic features are still worth inheriting and promoting nowadays.
