This article studies the literature of liberated area from the point of history. The"history " here mainly includes objective history and ideological history. The conceptof history plays a key role in it. In this article, it expresses the function of history onthe literature of liberated area as "discipline of history", which influences the maindirection and form of liberated area literature conduct as potential force. The functionis much more "original". "History" is not only extrinsically restricted factor and"mould" strength, but also the mental direction which impenetrate the authors'thoughts and logical force which influences the inner rules of literature creation bypenetrating and reflecting. This paper mainly studies the discipline system of historyon the literature of liberated area and its further influence on the literary concept, theauthors' mental structure and their narrative form and etc. By means of describing andanalyzing some basic topics, narrative forms and mental trend to restore and show itsimplying complicated factors and then find the causes of the existence and change ofthe literature of liberated area.Under the direct and unexpected historic circumstances, literary creation ofliberated area comes into being. The central displacement of "Shanghai-Yan'an" inthe revolutionary literature has obvious meaning of time (history) and foreshows thecoming of a new literary time that begins from "fracture" with the past literature.Leftist literature is the most direct and primary mental resource, which is the"medium" between the literature of liberated area and May 4th literature. The periodbefore Yan'an rectification of literature is the "buffer period" for leftist literature intoliberated area and is finally remolded into "literature of worker-peasants". Thecreation at that time kept the original inertia to a larger degree. "Essay movement"just reflects the "misplacement" between the inertia and new historic demands.Talk on Yan'an Conversazione (later call it Talk) declares the end of old era ofliterature and the beginning of new era of literature. This is the unprecedented newliterature. Leftist literature undergoes a complicated "purification" and remold process,this is unavoidably become the "intermediary" of formation and development of theliterature of liberated area.The discipline of "history" on liberated area reflects from its influence on thefinal form of liberated area literature. As the central document of creation, "practicalliterature" is the core of Talk, which is the new beginning of literature. From then onliterature is no longer limited in the Cultural Revolution and no longer object to theold world. Literature of liberated area is brought into the revolutionary experiences ofcreating history as an important factor. The historic feature comes from the historicfeature of its revolutionary activities. Literature gets involved in the history andbecomes major "event" in the history process and practice people of historic utterance.The final pursuit of literature of liberated area is not only to reflect the reality, but alsoto remold the reality. It has the feature of "practical literature". Meanwhile itconstructs a "meaningful world", which is filled with "historic ideas".The paper discusses the relationship between the "history" and literaturenarration of liberated area. After the Yan'an rectification, great changes takes place inthe inner and outer state of the literature of liberated area, and it forms a basicstructure of new ideology. Under the guidance of history, literature narration ofliberated area develops and turns out to be a dynamic and historic process. Literatureof liberated area is not composed of pure literature factors. Historic narrative structureof CCP plays a crucial role in its text structure. The same structure of literarynarration and historic narration is a major characteristic of its creation. "History"shapes the special text form and narrative structure. In the liberated area, people paymuch attention on the creation of practical style. The pursuit of "epic" is a remarkablefeature of literary creation of liberated area, to be accurate it's "epic of creating theworld". Literature of liberated area presents a tendency towards "obverse play", andthis "happy ending" is very suitable to narrate the revolutionary history.It probes into the relationship between the "history" and "intellectual" and "folk".Between the historic utterance and creation of intellectual writers, folk play a role asmedium. The most direct achievement of "folk" is "midwifery". It creates some newforms and new literary elements. At the very beginning of the meeting between"history" and "folk", "folk" is put under "history". But this doesn't mean "folk" is anegative and passive object. In the liberated area, the regulation of "folk" is undermacroscopic view. Because of the objective circumstances, "history" can't fullycontrol "folk", which provides the space for it to develop and meanwhile brings thecomplicated relationship between "history" and "folk". "Folk" obeys the discipline of"history" in the "whole narration", but shows a hidden structure in the particularnarration. "History" influences the thinking style of writers' understanding inliberated area. Intellectual writers agree the discipline of "history", they remold totallyand break from the "old themselves" and adjust their own positions during the historicprocess. They change old "enlightenment", wipe out their own academicism and theirpure critical attitude and become bright "singers" of the new world. In the literature ofliberated area, intellectual utterances meet the rejection of new collectivistic words."Folk" is absorbed into the ideological system of creative subject and process ofliterature thinking. Under the discipline of "history", the intellectual, responsible forenlightenment, add another position to be remolded. And this dual position just makeswriters fall into paradox.
