With each of his works ChengZhi Zhang has provoked ardent attention among the critics. Looking back on the studies on his production during this span of time, we are clear that the critics review his novels on two levels, namely, personality and text. The multi-dimensional revision of the former is presented as studies based on his own character, thought, emotion and experience; The latter forms the socio-historic studies from the angle of the relation between the writer with his works and society and history, or moreover, the multi-side detailed analysis done from text.The history of soul, as his lifelong masterpiece has stirred different commentaries among critics who even fall into sharp contrasts. Xuan Wu, for instance, in his Religious disapproval: heroism and existence thinks Zhang's religious choice of ZeHeRenYe is of no heroic sense. "It can at most be applied to the psyche issue of Hui nationality and his himself, hardly to that of Chinese people. He also points out that this ultimate content hard to further exploit often leaves Zhang out of breath, which hints on his powerlessness of literary creation. " YiWu Zhang in his human comedy of the post-new era also places this work in the social aura of the 1990s' and concludes that " his nobility is not the result of personal choice or persistence of truth, but the result of control and interaction of culture, economy and aesthetics. He is not isolated from us and our age but rather cater to the needs of some people of this era." YuanBao Gao's Belief is a flag that never collapses is undoubtedly the most moving article: Zhang is awriter who holds up the flag of post-idealism in the post-idealistic era, a believer ever more sturdy with his position despite age of multi-dimension and doubts, a language artist who never hesitates to name mystery of every kind in the nameless state.This paper start from the angle of the unique outlook of life-and-death, i.e. from the unique Fatalism to the state of Pessimism-Optimism-Pessimism and to the summit of impotency, in an attempt to present a comprehensive understanding and to analyze it from the angle of history, religion and culture, which is hoped to finally arrived at an objective evaluation on the theoretical level. It should be clarified here that this masterpiece provides the possibility of a religious exploration into modern life in a situation of the breakdown of the value system and belief system.
