The animal narrative is a global literature creation current. Whether in China or in the west, the literature creation taking the animal as the narrative body or involving the animal description came into being very early, scattering at various stage of Chinese and foreign literature development, and moreover in the 20th century it has formed an upsurge of the animal narrative.As an important literature phenomenon in the Chinese literature of the new era, the animal narrative has not been valued for a long time.The previous research was either limited to the fetters of the narrow visual threshold of children's culture, and thus caused people's despising psychology to " the animal narrative ", or ignored the research on the novels concerned of the animal or involved in the animal description, and thus sheltered the abundance of the text of the animal narrative of the new era. The previous research only pays close attention to the analysis of animals'image, ignoring the analysis and the research on the narrative theme and the particular narration tactics .Especially it is not deep and systematic enough to study"the animal narrative"under the consideration of the contemporary ecological consciousness.This article is a systematic study of the animal narrative phenomenon in the new time novel. First based on the research results of the predecessors, we give the animal narrative a clear definition: In the literary works, take the animal as the narrative body, or involve the animal description, and by the zoomorphism to"take the society into the consideration of life ", "judge the good and evil of human nature "" regard as the symbol of the spiritual culture vitality ", or " carry forward ecological consciousness ". Thus it has formed the literature phenomena of the specific narrative strategy and the artistic expressive methods.The animal narrative can be traced back to "Shan Hai Jing" in the pre-Qin. Dynasty.This article systematically combs the development of the animal narrative in the history of Chinese literature .On this foundation, this article attempts to present comprehensively esthetics characteristics from the narrative subject and the narrative strategy in the animal narrative of the novel of new era. In the novel of new era, the animal narrative involves many subjects, and this article will be focused on two main subjects,the humanity concern and the ecology shows. The theme of the animal narrative in the new era inherits the tradition: extend the theme of human to the world of the animal to explore, present and scrutinize, and " taking the society into the consideration of life ", "judging the good and evil of human nature " and"inquiring about the symbol of the spirit, culture and vitality" through molding a series of bright zoomorphism and inspecting the relationship between the people and the animal. Therefore we can demonstrate people's theme effectively during the pursuit of the heterogeneous world. The authors began to pay close attention to the animals' existence state, carried forward life value and meaning of the animal, have a profound understanding of relation between human and animal,human and nature, raised ecological spirit from the late 1980s to the beginning of the 1990s, thus guided the concerning center from human beings,human and society into more broad world in " ecology "visual field, and formed the ecological caring theme about the ecology review towards people and the world. The animal narrative of the new time novel has formed the unique narrative strategy in the long-term development and in the connotation philosophy discussion about society, life, spirit, culture, history, life, ecology, and so on. That is: the transition in the value orientation, the beauty surmounting metaphor symbol, the mystery pursuit, the Omni-directional presentation of the life body, and the transformation of the observation perspective.Through the research on this important literature phenomenon, we can rationalize the development vein of the new time novel. Thus, we will have the Omni-directional cognition and the appraisal towards the huge achievement of the novel during the new era.
