The rise of Chinese pioneer novels began in the late eighties of the lastcentury, which caused an uproar in the Chinese literary by its Frighteningwriting style. An experiment with literary forms was beginning with the changingfrom "what to write" to "how to write". Now let’s turn back to clearance thecontext of the1980s avant-garde fiction. That will be very helpful for us tounderstand and analyze the transformation of the pioneer novel from ninetiesto the new century. We found that its presence is not a coincidence but boththe environmental impact of world literature and the three bedding of thecontemporary Chinese literature "stream of consciousness" novel, the novel"Roots","modern" novel. There’s no doubt that the1980s pioneer novelcontribution to the contemporary Chinese literature. As well as providing thepossible diversity for the contemporary fiction writing, it completely brokethe situation of literature as a political mouthpiece. As a result, the Chineseliterature began to really enter the world of literature pattern. However, wecannot ignore its shortcomings except its contribution----too much attentionto form results in its lack of significance; the pursuit of the freedom of writingforms the modeling; also, one-sided pursuit of the text obscure makes the gapbetween readers. With the writing into the formation of fatigue and Changes inthe socio-cultural environment, aesthetic taste&the writer’s own creative mindafter the1990s, those pioneer novelists have chosen transition one after another.After the transition the pioneer novels re-picked up the "meaning" which wasabandoned as shoes in the past. It has shown that a pioneer novel is changingfrom vanguard of form into the vanguard of spirit by enhancing the humanity inthe works, approaching the real life and searching for utopia and self-redemption.In addition, the pioneer novelists changed the past concept of symbolicprocessing for the characters as they got the "significance" back. They startedto focus on the characterization which showed character by conflict, detailsand dialogues. They also created a lot of typical characters, such as a lonelyboy’s image, lively facial image of women and the image of little persons whowere struggling to survive. It was the characters that added luster to a charactergallery of the contemporary Chinese literature. Although the pioneer novels hasfaded the coat of the extreme form since the1990s, that does not mean nothingin art but just is a little milder than the previous radical. Again the actualsituation of the Pioneer Narrative was filled with the full story. The non-stopconversion of the perspective greatly enriched the diversity of narrative pointof view. What’s more, the authors didn’t intervene into the text any moreintentionally but retreated into the background and silently controlled overthe narrative. From then on, vanguard Novels after the transition in languagestyle abandoned the form of Europeanization and showed the localizationcharacteristics generally. Not only Ge Fei’s reference and use of theclassical, Su Tong’s "Imagism line drawing" but also Yu Hua’s folk characteristics are greatly enriched the Vanguard Novels in art color andtechnology space and explored a new way of expressing meanings. They all providedmore resources and the driving force for the pioneer novel writing in the future.This paper draws on the basis of the previous research of the Pioneer Novel.It applies a combination of the overall grasp and the case study.
