The humanity lives everywhere cannot leave "the matter", So long as has the matter, must narrate. Narrative, in brief, tells the story, is one kind of humanity's born ability. Narrative is the essential tool which humanity maintains the social life, simultaneously grows and develops in the social life. The western scholars have established a set of quite mature narrative system, but it actually not necessarily completely tallies with the Chinese literature narrative tradition reality. Examining carefully the Chinese literature in the judgment of narrative, we will discover that the Chinese literature has the glorious and rich narrative tradition actually. Narrative is one kind of person's behavior, the social phenomenon, the historical existence, and the performance method which all literary work must rely on. It not merely manifests in the history and novel, but seeps in other kinds of articles such as poem, Fu, play, prose, mixed biography, the unofficial history, even some utility articles. It passes through the complete human life. The humanity narrative experiences the developing process from the preliminary to high-level, from the simplicity to complex, from the sketchy narration to exquisite description, which the Chinese literature narrative tradition has proven it powerfully. When we inspect the Chinese literature narrative tradition, we need to obtain from the relations of "the article" and "the matter". This point is a major characteristic of China narration, or the standpoint of establishing China narration. Narrative, one main literature expression, is a quite broad concept. Narrative in our eye takes root in some basic ideas of Chinese literature. The nearly all literary work, the literary style has the indissoluble bond with "the matter". Have not "the matter", have not the literature. Relations of literature and "the matter", may be far, may be near. In short, no matter what kind of literary style, This is the basic implication of "narrative" in the paper.When we inspect "narrative", we must also bear in mind that narrative and lyric merge each other.Although narrative and lyric have their own long tradition, there is a close relationship between narrative and lyric. The lyric depends on the narrative, The narrative is always with the feelings.The Fu pays great attention to trace narrates the objective things directly, either complicatedly or simply, either roughly or precisely. When authors use Fu to narrate and expresses feelings, it contains inevitably the hidden or present matter, which initiates us to explore "the matter", either the entire facts, or fragments. What we inquires into is how the people reflect all phenomena in society including description of all sorts of physical images and movement shape, development of social history vicissitude and big event scene, portray of character image,and so on. Fu's tradition theories contain rich narrative factors, such as description to the things, the structure of question and answer between hosts and visitors, actualize and fictionalize, the bright level. These rich factors lay the solid foundation to explain the narrative characteristics of Fu in the Tang dynasty. Fu in the Tang dynasty situates the peak of Fu's development, has many quantities, the numerous literature styles and the massive outstanding work. The research to the Fu in the Tang dynasty from narrative angle, both make us see what narrative of Fu in the Tang dynasty absorbs before generation of Fu's narrative factor inheritance, and discover Fu in the Tang dynasty narrative characteristic development and the creation, then summarizes narrative value and the history of literature significance of Fu in the Tang dynasty and the entire Fu literature in the Chinese literature narrative tradition.The introdution firstly introduces the basic information of Fu in the Tang dynasty, then interprets the basic implication of "narrative"and relations between Fu and narrative, combines several narrative factors from Fu's tradition theories, finally scans the status of narrative study of Fu, illustrates the reasons, significance, research ideas and methods of the topic. The main body of paper has five chapters. Its specific contents are as follows.The first chapter analyzes emphatically the evolution of Fu's narrative ingredients from the literary style production angle. In the Spring and Autumn Period time Fu is one kind of literary style of oral dissemination in activity of composing a poem and express the will. In the Warring States time Xunzi's Fu describes the things tactfully by the enigmatic language's way. Fu of Quyuan and Songyu narrates the story by the structure of question and answer. In the Han dynasty, the writer of Fu emerge, Fu becomes a representative literary style because of own prosperity, and presents the characteristics of extravagant narrative and expressing the will in the end. In the WeiJin and Six dynasty time, Fu of expressing feelings becomes the mainstream, writers often have the inner intense emotion to narrate own experiences, thus forms the characteristic of "feeling matter". The evolution advancement of narrative ingredients such as oral dissemination, enigmatic language narrative, the structure of question and answer, extravagant narrative, feeling matter, reflects production process of Fu from oral dissemination style to written literary style. In the literary style production process of Fu, narrative ingredients of Fu changes unceasingly. The change is not unidirectional, but multi-direction overlapping. Several narrative ingredients evolve and fuse each other to constitute the rich and thick narrative embodiment of Fu.The second chapter mainly discriminate several kinds of different creation backgrounds of Fu in the Tang dynasty such as the imperial civil service examination test, practice usually, the careful idea from the times change, the social convention and the style of Fu aspects. We unearth two big in-depth narrative agents of the creation of Fu in the Tang dynasty:great narrative and personal narrative. On one hand, Fu in the Tang dynasty and the Tang dynasty political system are connected closely, it becomes the cultural strength to maintain real politics order. Essentially it is a political power word, presents the great narrative tendency. On the other hand, Fu in the Tang dynasty deviates gradually with the Tang Dynasty imperial civil service examination system, and becomes the carrier of expressing individual emotion. Essentially it is a personal word, presents the personal narrative tendency. Under these two big innermost feelings demand, the creator of Fu in the Tang dynasty narrates purely, or expresses feelings by taking advantage of narrative, or expresses feelings purely. The narrative main body's free activity develops the narrative new world of Fu in the Tang dynasty.The third and fourth chapters are the most importance of the paper. In the foundation of inheriting rich narrative embodiments which first generation accumulates, Fu in the Tang dynasty develops, innovates, and forms many new own narrative characteristics. Under the vision of narration, we carry on the careful explanation and thorough analysis to the narrative characteristics of Fu in the Tang dynasty from ten aspects such as the narrative tendency enhancement on theme choice, narrator's imagination, the narrative structure of question and answer, spatial narrative art, from portraying characters to narrating stories, relations between narrative and rhetoric, objective narrative of preface of Fu, historical narrative function of tour Fu, fable Fu narrative strategy, folk narrative characteristic of popular Fu, and so on. Six sections of the third chapter mainly test narrative features of Fu in the Tang dynasty from a variety of narrative techniques and means,which demonstrated narrator's freedom Fully. Four sections of the fourth chapter choose four types such as preface of Fu, tour Fu, fable Fu, popular Fu,describe their different different narrative strategy,and forms Colorful development situations of Fu in the Tang dynasty. From this we saw clearly Fu in the Tang dynasty presents four dominant narrative characters:the literature narrative forms a nice contrast with historical narrative, the fusion of recording the word and narrative, the interactive development of elegant and vulgar narrative shape, combination of narrative and lyric.The fifth chapter, by the method of compare, unearths similarities and differences of the narrative characteristic and strength and weakness of the narrative ability between Fu in the Tang dynasty and the poetry, the prose, the novel, the history and biography, the drama and so on from narrative aspect. and unearths relationship of common growth and Interpenetration between them in the narrative art. From it we see scholar's courage of attempt at each literary style and the well supplementary ability in the Tang dynasty. Push-pull between the various styles promotes the narrative literature forward.When we inspect Fu in the Tang dynasty from the narrative angle, we discover that narrative of Fu in the Tang dynasty has all sorts of contacts with the Chinese literature development process truly, even in a way we may say that narrative of Fu in the Tang dynasty is an important mirror which can reflect production evolution of the Chinese literature narrative tradition. The following four aspects are close with the Chinese history of literature and are worth elaborating specially. First, manifests fully improvement of person's narrative thought and ability. Second, enrichs greatly the narrative tones of literature. Third, erects the bridge that Chinese literature transforms from displaying subjective to reflecting objective. Fourth, takes the beauty of language to a new height. The paper's theory significance lies, the mature narrative characteristics and the prominent narrative values of Fu in the Tang dynasty enrich, supplement and moisten the Chinese literature narrative tradition mostly. Based on this, if we restructures Chinese history of literature with the cross-cutting line of the development and evolution of person's narrative thought and ability, there will be a different prospect of history of literature.
