The essay summarizes the inherent rules of the novel's occurrence in Chinese literature by the comparative analyzing the country romantic description in novels of 1920s,1930s and 1980s. Country creation is regarded as the depiction of the course of the modernization of China.Because novels exposure the situation of the country was nibbled in the course of the urbanization.The country tried to change the status of decline and it appeared the puzzle of future. In the past research, we usually pay attention to dig the effect of the modern transition from the comparative perspective of the difference of country and urban. However, difference can't expounded the mentality change of the Chinese writers. The reconsideration of the the country romantic description in novels would probably reveal many details of the Chinese literature in the 20th century.The essay is composed of five chapters.The first chapter is introduction.A new literature genre came into being when romanticism connected with Chinese country. (The research object is set aside of the country romanticism genre of Yangyi) The new literature genre was more like as a creation method and a kind of spirit aspiration.It was an attitude of the subject to society reality, history culture and life. Even it was an existent bourn of human being. The development of the new literature genre has affected the society body's value orientation, status of life, spirit appeal and appreciation of the beauty. At the same time, the development of society, society body's spirit life and literature has counterforce to the romanticism. Two extensive country romantic descripetion appeared in the 20th century had two reasons. One is the idealism and life force of romanticism its own. The other was connected with the development of society. The country romantic description was comparative to realism in its earlier stage. And it had been an important part of literature of the new era in its later period. In the whole course, it was totally different from the spirit of Utopia of the Chinese ancient literature which had the symbol of back to country from battlefield. It overflew not cold, peace, continence and passive retreatism but enthusiastic descripetion of modern consciousness even its poetry and Idyllic descripetion. The essay summarizes the theory form by exploring the source of the country romantic descripetion in the 20th century and hackling the relevant research history commentary. Its theory form had come into being after the transfer from the imitation of outside world to the attention to individual inside world. It thought the exist of itself by the body of sensibility. The theory form set the basic character of country romantic descripetion including the"ghostly". In fact, the country romantic description was not against critique of national character. From the May 4th Movement, one generation writer after another got tradition wisdom from society core ideology. The tradition wisdom was introjected as a part of their world view and character. It stayed there so deeply and obstinately that any theory couldn't have effect directly. But the source and the core of the thought of human being is from the dealing with the circumstance. When Non-mainstream theory is discussed when it rushes out. And then it is understood, and turned into the present formmly. The original thought is renewed. This is the point that the country romantic descripetion in 1980s became more and more non-traditional romantic. It appeared the creativity of its own. It came from a justice heart. And it didn't take time to cover the truest part of the noumenon. Writers could go over the lure of hunting scenery and grappled the part of the connection of art and people's life. The presence of the country romantic descripetion made the literature in the 20th century present a picture of prosperity in spirit.The second part mainly discusses the value orientation of country, and the change of the influence of it. Peeling of the unified of complex appearance of spirit in literature creation, romanticism turned into the creation of the spirit of the Chinese literature in the 20th century. In a word, it was not the transplant of idea, but the experience and expression of the creation bodies' life of their own. The writers of Luxun's time mainly appreciated country on the stand of individual life. On the premise of the individual life, writers valued the building of nation, but it's conflict with the development of individual. It could been named as a deep experience of country. The circumstance was changed when it came to zengqi-Wang. Those writers of the country romantic descripetion revealed their specific character fully. The remarkable choose of the writers of new times included independency and universality. Especially at the beginning of the root-seeking, the country's period was extended and the original contrasting turned to be compatible as the effecting of the style of life, personality, freedom, subject, the world of other and so on.The third part compared the two generation writers' composing and transformation of memory from the perspective of memory which was the specific tool of the country romantic descripetion. The essay studies the memory experience of a generation of the intelligentsia, taking examples of Feiming, Shituo and Hanshaogong. The abstract understanding of country directly froced writer to know free subject, which was return to inside, in order to getting an other world. They transferred to observe the original condition of life by senting back to the remoter world. Then, we can find that freedom was the converse orientation. Writers had the gesture of freedom, but lack the power of freedom in 1920s,1930s. The country description aggravated the distance of individual and country and did harm to the reality of freedom. Freedom was back from the inside world to environment, including the caring of here. It expanded to the character of area from individualistic and isolated ego, carried the promise of freedom.The fourth part mainly discusses the relation of sensibility of spirit structure of the country romantic descripetion and writers'literature research. The essay thinks that the ideologism of seeking for the habitat of human being was writers'original object of sensibility. Modern writers'experience was mainly the recovered of the character of holiness of life by the rebuilding of country. But country was lost in the course of seeking. Leaving country was destined the sensibility preparation of"On the Road". The root-seeking writers abandoned the assumption of country's lost and pick up humanity as the end. The root-seeking culture was more like a proving of individual towards themselves. It means that they understand country by the sorrow and sensation in the course of breaking the distance of people. Country became an method of solving the crisis of spirit.The fifth part discusses the transition of the form and content of"ghostly"which was an important appreciation of the beauty strategy of the country romantic descripetion."ghostly"was the deduction of custom and tradition from the perspective of specific. And it was the thought of the uncertainty of destiny from the perspective of metaphysical. The important influence of the transition was many Chinese writers gradually transferred from the position of individual against nation to thinking the value and the development of individual in the background of nation. It was connected with the end of the New Democratism Revolution and the end of the society change after New China was built. The transition of spirit also had close relevance with Chinese writers'native country experience in new times.
