Acheng kept the enthusiasm out of his heart and alienated himself from the times and he, in a tranquil and insipid state of his mind, created a multi-leveled and obscure artistic system in his texts, First of all, Acheng made the core images in the series of "THREE KINGS" be symbolic of something more than what they might be, which diversifies the theme of his text. In the text, the symbolic meanings of every image possesses obvious arrangements and connections are available among them, which pushes its way from the reality to the nihility. By so doing, a multi-leveled and net-shaped symbolic system comes into being. This trait is completely embodied in every work and it makes the series of "THREE KINGS" manifest itself overally to be a gigantic system of symbolism in meaningful formation. On the one hand, this causes an obscure beauty of the theme to be presented in the world of the texts; on the other hand, this enables the works to display a beauty of space in the multi-leveled and net-shaped symbolic system. Secondly, in order to skillfully disseminate his philosophy of life, Acheng blazed new trails to avail himself of the narration of the first person. On the one hand, Acheng took advantage of a combination of the narrative skill of presentation and the limited visual angle of the first person to express his "STATE" and create a lot of meaning gap on popurse in the text, which renders the theme of the works feature obscurity and ambiguity and show a beauty of "NO WORD TO DESCIBE"; on the other hand, Acheng constructed a dual world of mutually casting light upon to fritter away the enthusiasm of the narrator of the first person and the narrator was called upon to comprehend the philosophy of life by observing the world in silence, At the same time, Acheng wielded a narrative framework of ring like to describe the changing orbit of ordinary guys' destiny and utilized an understanding movement of spiraling aviation to display what the narrator thought and understood when he appreciated what happened around himself. By so doing, the works not only tell us some kind of philosophy in life, but also send forth a beauty of logic and time and space. All in all, Acheng's narrating tactics renders his expressed "STATE" be definite in its indefinition.At last, Acheng in his works fabricated an imaginary realm which leads our aesthetic imagination from the reality to the void and prompts us to transcend the phenomena and thoroughly understand everything in the world. Acheng mainly applied three methods to fabricate the imaginary realm:(1) to create IMAGING CHARACTERS who symbolizes something special;(2) to construct an imaginary realm in which his tendentiousness is invisible;(3) to pursue an expressing effection of suddenly understanding the world. By fabricating the imaginary realm, Acheng brought about his transcending the phenomena in life and his cognition on life and history and cosmos from the level of philosophy. Because of this, we can feel a flavour of placidness and solemnity while we appreciate the illusory beauty in the works.In short, by giving an account of the trivialities of common people in the series of "THREE KINGS", Acheng created an obscure artistic boundary in which we could perceive no mystery and he told us his peculiar experience of life and show us his Buddhist living sense and direct us to make use of intuition and method of suddenly understanding things to cut across the phenomena of the world and then to penetrate the imaginary realm in the text in which we can savour as fully as possible the living sense and the consciousness of life and the beauty of time and space.
