This thesis takes Jiang Shi Hua Ben(讲史话本) in Song and Yuan dynasty as the research topic, reviewing the history of the development and evolution of Jiang Shi(讲史) and Jiang Shi Hua Ben(讲史话本) in Song and Yuan dynasty, as well as the editions and contents of nine extant Hua Ben(话本); moreover probing into the system, art origin, the literary achievements and historical status of Jiang Shi Hua Ben(讲史话 本) in Song and Yuan dynasty in many aspects. This thesis is divided into four parts.The first chapter is the introduction, mainly expounding the discovery of Jiang Shi Hua Ben(讲史话本) in Song and Yuan dynasty, the current situation of the research about it and the research significance of this thesis, especially reviewing some unsettled issues of Jiang Shi Hua Ben(讲史话本) in Song and Yuan dynasty, such as the becoming time of "Ping Hua(平话) of the Five Dynasties' history".The second chapter reviews the history of the development and evolution of Jiang Shi Hua Ben(讲史话本) in Song and Yuan dynasty and the causes of its flourishing, examining and correcting its aspects affected by the four schools of Shuo Hua (说话) and Dun Huang Bian Wen(变文) about historical romance.The third chapter inquires into issues such as the edition and contents of nine extant Hua Ben(话本). In those Hua Ben(话本), Liang Gong Jiu Jian (《梁公九谏》) ,which had been in the state of transition, has not being paid much attention to.
