Among the various literary phenomena in the new era, the reform literature is particularly remarkable. It is closely linked to theme of the era revolution and it has made gratifying achievements, which has become a literary phenomenon that can not be ignored.From a time dimension point of view, the"scar literature"at the beginning of the new era focused on the scourge of history in the decade-long trauma known as the"Great Cultural Revolution", describing the physical and psychological trauma caused by the painful lessons of history with painful memories and sorrowful cry. While"Reflection Literature"outran the boundaries of the"Cultural Revolution", probing the root causes of the tragedy in a broader space and time in history. Both"Scar Literature"and"Reflection Literature"view toward the"past", and followed by"Reform Literature"which views back to"now". It describes rural and urban reforms carried out in full swing, and gives a new historical mission to literature.Although the reform literature on its subject matter can be divided into two major types that is rural reform and urban reform, yet the creation of the novels in the rural and urban areas is uneven. To Shandong, the authors pay more attention to rural reforms, thus the creation of rural reform novels is well above the urban reform novels. There are inherent blood relations among Shandong writers, rural area and farmers. Compared with the same creative theme in other regions, Shandong writers'rural reform novels hold the trump card no matter in writers numbers , quantity and quality of works or in the continuity of the creation time. The creation of Shandong rural reform novels is supposed to give rise to researchers'concern.From the existing research results, investigators either focus on individual writers, individual works or focus on the cultural inheritance of Qilu, and the existing research tends to focus on the reform works in the 80s to 90s, while neglect the holistic and further development research. Having a holistic study on Shandong Writers'rural reform creation and exploring the aesthetic value of the implication from different topics and different aspects not only provides available experience for the present Shandong literary creation and development but also offers a wealth of literary and cultural resources for the present cultural construction of new countryside. In addition, It also has important theoretical and spiritual values to the inheritance and carry forward of Qilu culture.This article makes a sampling analysis on the rural reform novels written by Shandong writers in the new period. It mainly discusses the historical changes in farmers and rural areas since the social transformation and analyzes the transforms of social and political life of rural society in the social transformation period. The text includes the following contents:Part one: The Changes of Farmers'Ideological Concept.

With the development of society, economics, and the affluence of material life, the farmers'ideological concept also has great changes, mainly manifested by the following forms: from"clinging"to"desalinizing"then"alienating", the farmers'consciousness of land changed quietly; from the traditional"with agricultural to for the foundation"to diversification, the farmers'employment concept also changed; love is no longer a myth——the modern marriage concept of democracy, freedom and equality became established in the process of society changes; with the reform deepening, the contents of social and moral life also changed——the old rules were abolished, poor habits were growing, and new specification were forming——ethics experienced a process of assimilation, abandonment and reconstruction.Part two: Meditation on Rural Political Ecology during the Reform. "The economic base determines the superstructure", then the reforms in economic field indicate that a new political ecology will come into being. Shandong writers were particularly concerned with the changes of grassroots political ecology during the rural economic reform. It is reflected in three respects: the variation of grassroots political power; the interaction between economic power and political power; and the relationship between family force and political power.Part three: Sample Analysis of Various Characters in Reform Time. The most remarkable achievement of rural reform fictions is that they successfully created various farmer images, whose performances vary in the reform age.

It emphatically analyses the image of"pioneers"——their characteristic and tragedy, and the new farmers'modern spiritual qualities as well. Finally, from the perspective of female subject consciousness and values, the paper makes an analysis of classification on the image of rural women.
