Meta-fiction has raised the academic concerns from the date of its birth by the creation of unique new way, its rapid development has demonstrated the efforts of post-modernist literary writers to break out the tradition of literary and realize the innovation of literary. Something different from the previous literary phenomenon is that although the creation of Meta-fiction is popular very much, it is not a literary genre which has a common guiding principle but a result of self-practice by many post-modernist literary who spread in Europe and the United States, while many Meta-fiction works in American literature is the main force in this literary innovation. The writing techniques of Meta-fiction have mostly broke out the previous literary tradition that including realism,modernism and highly innovative. In the period of post-modernist, in order to overcame the difficult of creation of literature and refreshed the radiancy of art, many author was striving to have effective innovation in novel writing technique that not only tried boldly a number of unprecedented narrative approaches but also endowed some old narrative approaches with new life. Parody is undoubtedly the most brilliant. Throughout the history of Western literature, parody of the content has been changing. As the endorsement of Parody, it often used to be thought as copy or used literature and often there were many comments. Until the period of postmodernism, Parody with the help of the creation of Meta-fiction went out the awkward situation at last and aroused the wide attention of scholars by a serious literary technique. Compared to the traditional Parody, the Parody of the creation of Meta-fiction could not help but become a focus of attention because its innovations and that how to display the content of contemporary society.Society is moving to the trend of information society, which lead to the literary facing with a fact that their survival of paper media is shrinking. Literature art is going through its transition, namely it starts to combine with film, television, Internet and other mass cultural, can not be separated from each other as the development of society, even sometimes needs the help of high-profile influence of popular culture to enhance itself. In the 1980s, we began to had the efforts of extensive introduction of Western literary in China, Meta-fiction and its outstanding achievements became particularly compelling in the process. Parody was also more and more popular and quickly combined with Chinese popular culture and found a broad development space. It can be found from the phenomenon of popular Parody. Parody has gradually exceeded the scope of literature and became a booming trend of socio-cultural, and as the development of our society, parody has manifested itself by different ways in different historical stages. Although the whole society including the academic and theoretical circles has a high critical voices to the parody of Chinese culture, parody always spreads its growing influence by the network with a lightning speed. We must think deeply about the prevalence of this phenomenon and only have a full analysis of the reason for parody's development, social and cultural value, can we hope to treat this cultural phenomenon with more sensible attitude and guide its development trend reasonably.
