The title of this paper is "the Revolutionary History Re-narration in Post-revolutionary Atmosphere——on cultural orientation and writing ways of the revolutionary history narration since 1990’s". Compared with the classical revolutionary history texts, the paper mainly discusses cultural orientation and writing ways of the revolutionary history narration since 1990’s as the main objective in Post-revolutionary Atmosphere by closely reading and social historical criticism, and grasps as a whole the devlopment of the revolutionary history narration on Chinese contemporary literature. So it can afford some referenced cues of the future development trends of literature.This paper consists of six chapters, such as the Introduction, Continued Writing, Supplementary Writing, Rewriting,Playful Writing and the Conclusion and the main contents of every chapter are followed: The introduction firstly put forward research problems and gives a brief review of the research status of this theme; secondly the introduction illustrates the framework of this paper; finally the introduction defines the basic concepts such as Post-revolutionary Atmosphere, the Revolutionary History Narration, and the Revolutionary History Re-narration which provides a basis for discussion. Post-revolutionary Atmosphere as the key concept of the paper is suitable for describing the great changes of politics, society, and culture after China’s revolutinary era, especially since 1990’s. The revolutionary history narration which shows diversiform scene brightly is rewriting the classical revolutionary history texts on different spiritual levels in Post-revolutionary Atmosphere. It is too complicated to discern main and secondary from vary opinions. However, we can conclude that there are four cultural orientation and writing ways of different texts approximately, that is, continued writing, supplementary writing, rewriting and playful writing. The paper attempts to break time boundary of the revolutionary narration in different periods, and concentrates on four styles as well as issues of how the revolutionary re-narration absorb and reform the classical revolutionary history texts. So it is helpful to reveal the multiply characters and rich connotation of the revolutionary histroy narration in different periods. The first chapter mainly discusses the cause of continued writing and its text features. Some novels which describes the revolutionary histroy since 1990’s creat the heroes, and advocat the value of revolutionary again. Those novels continue spiritual expression of classical revolutionary history narration.They don’t copy revolutionary discourse simply, but rather make the corresponding adjustment according to the social and cultural reality. The concept of class antagonism is weaked in I am Sun, Draw Sword, the Sky of Histroy and so on.. Meanwhile, the heroes portrayal become flexible and various. Revolutionary idealism and revolutionary heroism are secularized and popularized so that the revolutionary histroy narration isn’t so pure. To a great extent, those novels appear due to the writers’desperation of reality, so they seek for psychological consolation from history. It not only satisfies masses’ feeling of nostalgia, but also provide the legitimacy foundation of the CPC’s ruling.The second chapter make a concentration analysis for the cause of supplementary writing and its text features chiefly. Supplementary writing is a kind of ways to reconstruct the revolutionary histroy. It doesn’t superficially affirm or deny the value of revolutionary, but seek for democratic and equal communication platform to have a dialogue of different thoughts. The writing is a supplement for the classical revolutionary history narration. It includes contents of two sides chiefly:one is the writers express the national anti-Japanese invasion behavior instead of the proletarian anti-Japanese under the leadership of the CPC Party.Furthermore, action of the Chinese Kuomintang in the anti-Japanese invasion war is reappraised. They strengthen national spirit. The other, the writers whoreflect the revolutionary envisage the relationship betwteen the humanitarianism and the revolutionary, and realize their coexistent value and beauty. What’s more, they interpret the significance of revolution ary combined with chinese and western culture and ideology. The paper mainly study Gui Zi Everywhere,the Rural Disputes on May, Holy Menkou, the Face like of peachblossom as cases to explain the character of supplementary writing.The third chapter describes the cause of rewriting and its text features in detail. Rewriting denies the classical revolutionary history narration. It rebells against "false" ideology in the past intensely by subverting tradition, and forms a disproving relationship to the classical revolutionary history narration. In the novels of MoYan, LiuZhenyun, SuTong etc. Rural revolution under the leadership of the Party doesn’t participate actively after the revolutionary consciousness of peasants, but is the cause of ornery desire and irrational factors. Class antagonism is excluded from social cultural order. Individuals who devote into the life value of revolutionary pursuit which is incompatible with revolutionary value, and they are pushed out, attacked,and strangled. So they become superfluous or encounter death eventually. The writers such as TieNing, XiangXiaomi and so on the standard of femilism point out that females were double oppressed by the forces which comes from both revolutionary power and male hegemony in the revolutionary histroty. It disrupts the nice revolutionary scene further.The emphasis of the fourth chapter is the exposition of the cause of playful writing and its text features. For purpose of catering to masses’consumer psychological needs and purchasing market profit, the writers misinterpret the revolutionary histroty narration intentionally. Entertainment is the fundamental purpose of writing,and making fun is the basic mental of writers. There are varities of styles of entertainment in the novels. some parody the classical revolutionary history texts and supplement with new era contents to make it interesting. some knit romantic love stories of revolutionist which are full of sexual passion and material desire. Some show thrilling plots and add highlight of thought so that they attract the readers. Although the level of those works isn’t irregularity, the writers have the same purpose that is to occupy the market through consuming history and manufacturing pleasure. The thesis mainly study theWomen Revolutionary Army,ShaJiaBang,Latent, Conspiracy as cases to explain narrative strategy of playful writing.The conclusion reexamines the revolution in the Socio-cultural Context and also gives a brief commentary about the advantages and disadvantages of the revolutionary history narration in Post-revolutionary Atmosphere.This chapter indicates the impact on the revolutionary history narration of popular culture, and advances the author’s opinions on future trend of it.
