"The Great Cultural Revolution" had gone away. However, for about thirty years, it has been kept in the writers' memory and in their novels. From Class Adviser to Brothers ,Butterfly to The season of revelry, "The Great Cultural Revolution" has been interpreted from different angles and "The Great Cultural Revolution". narration has become a phenomenon of novel work .But it was really a pity for the writers that "The Great Cultural Revolution" narration not only have strong attraction but also is a black hotel .There are many writers tried their best to describe "The Great Culture Revolution" in the style of novel, but almost all of them were not enjoy the great population. In my opinion, there are many reasons. In my paper, I want to search for the reason about writers' narrative attitude towards "The Great Cultural Revolution", and describe the writers narrative attitude in the novels during the different times.In my paper, I divide "The Great Cultural Revolution" narration into four periods.The first period comes from the end of 1977 to around 1983. The writers' attitude to narrated "The Great Cultural Revolution" in this period was vented their grievances and complained, and sought their value in this ten years. Butterfly was one of the good works. In the novels, the writers wrote themselves stories and expressed their ten years misfortune. They only opposed "The Great Cultural Revolution" not reflected it. And this attitude has lasted till now.From the middle of the 1980' s to the early years of 1990' s is the second period. In this period, the true reflected works had appeared. The writers claimed to be the elitist of the society. They overlooked "The Great Cultural Revolution". On one hand, they criticized the evil of human nature, and on the other hand, they reflected the misfortune in "The Great Cultural Revolution". But they hadn't reflected themselves. 1986 was the best one in this period.The whole 1990' s is the third period .Business society made writers reappraise everything, and it also incorporated "The Great Cultural Revolution" and 1980' s. In this period, the writers' narrative attitude toward "The Great Cultural Revolution" was examine closely and deconstruct. They didn't look themselves overlook. "The Great Cultural Revolution". For example, in The Golden Days the writers not only examined closely and deconstructed "The Great Cultural Revolution", but also experience the revelry of "The Great Cultural Revolution".The 21st century is the fourth period.As acase of Brothers, the works focus on narrating affectionate/emotional tie/friendship and good human nature. Because of the changing times, the writers were in a reminiscent mood for "The Great Cultural Revolution"In a word, from everyone made themselves a misfortune one to reflected "The Great Cultural Revolution" but didn't have themselves, to made a sarcastic retort to their father and old brother and "The Great Cultural Revolution", and to reminiscent mood in the novels, we can see that the writers' narrative attitude towed "The Great Cultural Revolution" always has little truly confession in their novels, though some of them tried to do so.
