History is a record of nation's mind and it has witnessed eternal years running out in humancivilization history with its amorous face, persistently persevering not an old memory. During theprocess of history -writing, it is made to present different faces under different scenes by reasonof human's subjective factor, and because of this special characteristic, history itself iscontinuously deluding literature writer who has sensitive mind.From the perspective of historical objectivity, literature reconstructs the history is always akind of illuding. The literature reality is one thing, whereas the historical reality is another.Through the "history novel", we can confirm something that can make historical materials andmaterials which historical materials are never referred to achieve a persuasion complot, in otherwords, that is a historical reconstruction process of making readers believe by means ofnovel-narration's weave action.This essay firstly expounds the paradox between history and novel in theory, which isviewed as a breakthrough point to study Zhang Dachun's novel. Secondly, it explores ZhangDachun's idea course by means of his emotion written in his family novel "Listens Respectfullyto Father" and his individual soul course" City-state Violence Group", which together with hismind and conception of history shaped by his family memory, as well as the effect of hisindividual understanding of reality that he has experienced establishes his novel-writing's mood.Based on the above, the essay takes the writing time of Zhang Dachun's novel as a mainclue, and choosing three different times' representative works to do intensive text-reading andpumping out the novel skill's element. It displays people's fate under the historical purdah andcomplex and flexible human nature on historical stage while understanding Zhang Dachun'spersistent feeling on history. By doing so, we can see a different world from prevenientsurface-study, in which lie and politic is merely dense fog under the historical purdah. Seeingthrough the dense fog of surface, lie and politic, we can find it is "people" that is ultimately theleading actor in Zhang Dachun's literature world. As far as Zhang's concerned, writing like thisis a kind of promise for life.
