Zhang Ailing is a writer who always pays much attention to the skills of novel. Perspective is one of skills which exists in Zhang Ailing's novels. This dissertation makes a detailed exposition about the novels'perspective problem, which composes of three main parts: the type, the undertaker and the constitution.First, the narration in Zhang Ailing's works uses the non-focused type of perspective. And the novels demonstrate the advantages of this perspective through two aspects: this perspective can fix a bird's eye on all the novels, and unfold each kind of character's actions and considerations calmly. The novels depict some big or small families as objects to narrate a vulgar world. But if the narrator wants to make a smooth narration about this small world, or predict the destiny of the characters or stories, or make a psychological description in depth on many characters, then this perspective is the only one choice which the works must use to display all the things. Actually, the advantages of this perspective are also the actual function which the perspective displays in the novels.Second, this perspective's undertaker is the narrator of the novels. The paper also briefly mentions the superior image of the narrator.Third, the problem of the perspective's constitution: In the article, the perspective is divided into the sensory and the cognitive perspective from the overall. The content of the sensory perspective includes what the narrator have saw or heard, which reflects in the works is detail description. The detail description extremely has the strength, not only has provided the related sensory information, but also enable the information to have the in-depth connotation and be in rich to which can refer. Then, the cognitive perspective consists in the sapiential and the feminine perspective. The sapiential perspective is divided into two parts"man and themselves""man and others", has discussed some problems thoroughly, such as the people's survival predicament, human nature, relationships between people and so on. The feminine perspective mainly displays in carefully inspection upon women and the cognition about men. About women, there are sex flaw and spiritual weakness on themselves. In the common life, women attach to men because of the economic reason. The strife of human nature also could be found everywhere in life. All of these are the reasons for women's awful predicament. Besides that, the feminine sexuality is also discussed by the former. The latter analyses men's epicurean life plight and the ruins of their spiritual world. Both of them all have the distinct feminist spirit.
