At the beginning of the 20th century, Bildungsroman treams into China, but it is always not famous. After 1990's,it has become the business focus and entered the visual field of the academic research.But the current research concentrate on the studies of the topic,even can not realize it is still a kind of novel genre.Its form is very special and it has the very long history.The research object of this article is the Bildungsroman of the 20th century.The scholar takes theory of typology as the core and carries on research,still including many kinds of theories methods such as structure doctrine narrates studying,historical research, culture criticizing, psychoanalysis,etc.and try hard to remedy this shortcoming.Bildungsroman at first stems from the west and the "educating and linking degree " and the " growing up and linking degree " make up it.and they influence each other. It forms and develops on the whole in the Great Britain and America andGermany of three countries------In classical period, Bildungsroman of GreatBritain and Germany each with particular emphasises, but takes society as the core..It is the same that the demand which dies to the individual and which the individual character incorporates the society. After the 20th century, Bildungsroman of U.S.A. is at first" educating and linking degree " which is conservative mix with " growing up and linking degree " which courts individuals to realize. Later, Bildungsroman is affected by " cultural values consumed ", regards individual as standard and was a content that he refused the social norm.This is development inclination of the novel that the world Bildungsroman at present too.In China, Bildungsroman equally " educating and linking degree " combines with " growing up and linking degree ". But the social cultural tradition is too conservative, there are special contents " health (physiology) growth ".Since the 20th century, the Chinese society was confused, the development of Bildungsroman lagged behind for a long time.The "educating and linking degree " and "growing up and linking degree" and very unbalanced to develop. Late Qing-Early Republican.Bildungsroman is introduced, saves the nation and educates the unwise people,The production situation of "educating and linking degree "similar to Germany Bildungsroman in the 18th century.The May Fourth Movement period,the hospitable youth had just accepted modern thinking and had practised to it and strived for the free space which the individual character grows up.Then the "growing up and linking degree " produced. But it is too frequent and complicated that China's current political situation changes.The great revolution to the Culture Revolution,the political words lead everything. The politics guiding of Bildungsroman was unprecedentedly strong and Bildungsroman got back to it as the track of the main fact again.It is differently emphasized that the education is "knowing" in Late Qing-Early Republican and the education is "doing" in" the great revolution is to theCulture Revolution"------It not only should improve the masses' politicalconsciousness but also undertake the political mission of calling them to take action. The serious mechanical morals way similar to novel of ethical admonition in era Victoria of Britain.Since new period ,the directional control of individual life of political words of the mainstream has disappeared gradually. The perceptual words of edge of common customs life begin to recover. The "growing up and linking degree "publicizing the individual character and growing up was obtained with the "educating and linking degree "positions of running neck and neck at last.The appearance of "cultural values consumed "on one hand had completely subverted the control of the political words, on the other hand began to enter new commercial ideology influence power. The" growing up and linking degree "is mixed with the "educating and linking degree" and it is difficult to distinguish primary and secondary.There is no new thing under the sunlight. It is one of mankind's eternal themes to grow up. The objective law at several stages that the continuous individual grew up, is shown as the relatively stable narration structure in Bildungsroman, so it is the most suitable to study the shape characteristic of Bildungsroman with the narration of the structure doctrine is studied. While the individual grows up, "innocent, puzzled, accept, rebel against, baffle, submit to, converted to" of these seven growth links that roughly contrast seven "key scenes" in the narration frame of Bildungsroman . The author's freedom choice, arrange and making up according to the needs of different expressions in the middle of them .They make up basic narration grammar of Bildungsroman. These four grammars are "the muddleheaded and natural, the dutiful, do things creatively one, the converted to".The growth focal point that they emphasize is to accept, submit to, rebel against, converted to separately. They are four kinds of growth modes equated that they separate, or the growth orbits of four kinds of persons. It is can regard as four growth level to close up and different kinds of growth that person go through what is level different. Certainly, the persons who it is thorough to perform on a certain level live excellently more than the persons who go through but were not deepened of four levels.The research of literature puts emphasis on analysing and understanding, but not regard as the thought meaning, ultimate trial officer of value in life. We understand the interdynamic relation of each narration grammar of between tactics shape and thought intention of masterpiece in each periods and can find the culture and literature meaning that every kind of basic things contain, understand the impacts on Bildungsroman of factor of various fields and these factors include the cultural tradition,writer disposition, social environment and ideological trend of culture,etc.
