Mo Yan is a miracie in the 20th century contemporary literary world in China. His unique and fesh "civil" writing bring new sunrises to the literary world. In this paper, we base on "the civil life content" and "the civil narrative Position two aspects to analyze Mo Yan's works.First, the civil world which always appears vulnerably is a "suffering" world. Based on modern people's feeling of natural disasters. Social disaster and Mental misery, we dig the badly misery consciousness from the civil world. By traditional civil art forms, the Historic, civil Individuals realize venting,desalinating and surmounting the suffering. In "the traditional talking and singing", they can vent suffering; in the "fairy tale", they can lighten suffering; In the "Legend", they can pin hope.

In the contrast pattern "city - township" of this text, it excavates the human desire declining and dissimilating phenomenon, which displays in the modern civilization progress, let people to think of a question about desire recession and alienation. But the modern civilization progress brings human desirers constraining and declining, demonstrates the human tragedy of liff vigor's forfeiting.

Puzzled falls into constantly to the newborn contradiction and the worship to history erroneous zone, has affected the writer correctly to understand and watch question's angle and the method, make it to be unable fundamentally to solve the problem which in the social advance step, manifested Mo Yah to have the extreme tendency of the social values; Extremely melancholy brings the pessimism negatively despairs breath. it makes Mo Yan's novel deviated realistic track, creates an important reason which the values is narrow-minded. However, the erroneous zone can be a mirror to other modern writers, it has become one of the literary value of Mo Yan; His and Lu Xun's novels are all displayed the same national responsibility and historic mission.
