| This dissertation aims to examine the narration about the Minguo Times in contemporary Chinese novels, whose process has been reformed and linked with the changes of the context. It tries to understand how the writers view and narrate the Minguo Times. At the same time, it also tries to understand the reason why the writers view and narrate the Minguo Times like "this" way. It is examined from the angle of narrative content and narrative form.An Introduction: An Unceasingly Rewritten Sheep-leathered PaperFiction is a special kind of discourse that is based on the personal experience of the writer's. This type of discourse is inevitably restricted to its object and context, without exception to the narration about the Minguo Times in contemporary Chinese fiction. That period was versatile and obscure, the cultural space of contemporary China is changeable, which result in different features on the narration about the Minguo Times in contemporary Chinese novels. So the Minguo Times has become an unceasingly rewritten sheep-leathered paper in the art world.The First Chapter: The Covered and Remains by the Revolutionary Sky (1949-1966)Both the impact of the foundation of the People's Republic of China and the fiction tradition of History Biography and The Books of Songs impelled the writers to found a figurative history picture, which was complementary to the authoritative history discourse. With the help of the latent narration, which surpassed the sphere of the space, the writers made the reading effect to be objective history. So the Minguo Times was covered by the revolutionary sky.

They broke the class boundary, released the personal desires, emphasized the accident in their novels.At the same time,they also tried to show the subjectivity of historical narration by different type of exploration.But the deconstruction was confined by the inherent gradation of the "prior text".The Fifth Chapter: The Scanning and Dye of Masses' View Point (1992-1997)Restricted by the operation of the market, writers could only treat the reality and history with the view of the masses'.
