The writing of this article is coming from such awareness of the present literature criticism situation: after the 90s, cultural diversity has brought in the appraisal confusion of literary work ,possibly presents the poles apart in view of the identical work's appraisal. In 2005 Yu Hua published his new novel "brothers",some extreme description such as LiGuang-tou peeping women buttocks in the toilet, Li organized skinhead "the beauty" contest and so on . All this caused great uproar from the common readers and the professional critic. The paper is inspired from Eagleton's literature ideology theory and Foucault's theory of knowledge power, approves that one kind of aesthetic taste authorized representative of the Statute of the power of an ideology. there is not one kind so-called completely objective, scientific, there is not one kind of esthetic standard represented the correct universe tendency. Makes every effort to get rid of either this or that's ideological mode limit, and restricted uses Bakhtin's "Carnival" theory to interpret some heresy writer's works different from classic and pure literature's aesthetic standard.The theory of Carnival is a concept of literary criticism first Proposed in "Labailei research" and "Dostoevsky's Poetics" by M.Baxtnh, is the the literatural reflection of the oldest Western Carnaval tradition.The Two theoretical writings all evaluating the literary works from the perspective of civil bottom, and have a different perspective aesthetic standards from the official recognition , In the choice of specific writers and their works, the two books have obvious difference, "Labailei study" stresses the important position of Labailei's work in the history of the western literature from the perspective of folk Humor, but as XiaZhong-xian has pointed out in the "Note of Labailei research", as only concerned about with the witty comedy works clearly has a great limitations, in "Dostoevsky's Poetics", Bakhtin is obviously made up this deficiency, analysizes the ties between the kind of tragedy writers like Dostoevsky and the Carnaval tradition ,and put forward the duplicate accent", "the dialogue" and so on important literary criticism concept.Being restricted by the author's accumulation of reading, it is impossible to read such a large number of literary works since the 1990s in a short time, it is impossible to make a comprehensive evaluation of the literature since the 1990s , the paper will not give a overall and essential judgment to the 90s's literature phenomenon, but will focus on the center of the concrete text to read attentively. In the writing process, the attentively reading scope is limited on the heresy literature work whose esthetic style is totally different from the text defined in the realism, modernism and so on, utilizing "the Carnival theory " to explain these works diligently from the text itself ,and excavating the literary value of these works. The paper main text is divided into three parts, respectively take the folk humorous, the weird human body, and the dialog theory as the key word. In the first part, the article has stressed the world outlook significance of the folk humorous angle and explored the depth which can achieve from such an angle by taking Wang Shuo, Wang Xiaobo, Liu Zhenyun's related work as the example; By Taking MoYan, Yuhua's related work as the example, the second part explained the ambiguity significance of the weird human body image and showed its close connection with the life itself; By taking MoYan, Yan Lianke's related work as the example, the third part of this paper showed the openness of the text which is brought in by " the Dialog at the Threshold". As similar to Bakhtin's two works, the paper first two parts is mainly to strive for the validity for such text which have some folk humorous and weird human body description , the third part analyzed some tragedy meaning work, and demonstrated the complicated connections between these works and the ancient carnival festivalThe paper approvaled Foucault's knowledge power theory, demonstrated the authority factor behind the knowledge, and avoided the thinking mode of either this or that as far as possible. Striveing for the validity of the folk humorous angle of view not to be equal to repeling the serious angle of view, it does neither mean the total denial of rationality of the official and intellectual angle of view .Since each kind of knowledge means one kind of ideology words authority, "the Carnival theory " which view the world from the folk angle have the inevitable ideology similarly .The duplicate accent dialog theory makes every effort to unfold each kind of words in a same text, shows the rationality and the limitation of each kind of words in the dialogue.
