In China, a "male chauvinists" country, I have been fortunate to be able to see a distinguished woman director-Hu Mei's works. As one of the few prominent female directors of China, Hu Mei did not let her fans disappointed. From the "Yong Zheng Dynasty", "Han Wu Da Di",to the "Qiao Jia Da Yuan", three works' brilliant achievements of Hu Mei established her rank in the film world. Magnifying and celebrating heroes is an eternal theme of Hu Mei's works. It is difficult to imagine that a female director is how to harness the full flavor of the masculine "men play" and the mighty shooting scenes. In this paper, I analyzed the director Hu Mei heroic narrative features and functions based on the aesthetics psychological point of view. Tragic is the basic aesthetic feature of the works about heroes. As the aesthetic of the works about heroes conveyed is characterized by a combination of tragic and noble state, this state is precisely the inherent characteristics of the heroes, but also the main ways of the works to express the quality of heroes. In addition, for the audience, the hero narrative has a unique psychological acceptance of paradigm, the key which affect the psychological paradigm is:the audience's different aesthetic experience and aesthetic attitudes for the hero narrative. Heroic narrative is often based on human's worship of hero. The development of the theory of heroic narrative promoted people's worship for a hero and heroic actions. When the hero narrative combined with the main ideology of the society, when the hero narrative as a spirit origin of a nation and a society, the heroic narrative also has a wider range of educational value.I will compare Humei's heroic narrative features developed progress with her works and found that they are changed as times change, Hu Mei heroic narrative strategy is also engaged in advancing with the times change. For instance, Yong zheng inside "Yong Zheng Dynasty". Despite of the public's understanding for the Yong zheng come from the unofficial mysteries, he still will be a full-Hu Mei, put an all angle's Yong zheng placed in the perspective of the audiences, making accustomed to the past "Gao-Da-Quan" heroic image of the people gradually to accept a "small profit homes for the righteous cause" and "tainted" heroes. How to find out a unique way in the traditional style, and has been accepted by the public? I read from the works of Hu Mei. Hu Mei makes hero with a way of narrative features, this heroic narrative approach may be cruel, tragic,, in any case, Hu Mei's heroic narrative has been recognized and accepted by the publics. The traditional heroic narrative creation through re-interpretation of narrative to achieve a reconstruction of the traditional heroic and transcendent, this subversive reconstruction is mainly reflected in the text to hold high the banner of heroism distinct, heroes and mythical narrative, will be the performance of a more heroic image of the affinity, more civilians, it will be at home and National contradiction between the family and inter-ethnic resentment, marital life, and so introduced into the narrative. In order to promote heroism, Hu Mei makes an organic combination with audio-visual language and and heroic qualities in her narrative. Because of television is a visual art, TV's basic language system is symbols system of the screen and sound system of signs. Hu Mei should do her best to give full play to the performance of the two major power symbol system,in order to identify the and the meeting point of the use of symbols and the reflection of heroism.The characters in TV Dramas seems to be a pawn on a chessboard, each one' movement is related to the whole chess game. There will usually exist the intricate social relations between characters. Analyzing the function of these figures in the narrative the role of each resolution can deconstruction theory of heroic narrative fully and accurately.Female roles in Hu Mei's works usually are directed as a traditional Chinese women who stand behind the man quietly without asking for anything. Maybe Humei worship heroes so heavily that the role of women in the works can not be match with the Women's Liberation which advocated by our modern time.I selected Hu Mei's nearly 10 television series, and other related works of nearly 10 films and television drama, combined with written materials. Use the main methods of sociology, psychoanalysis, semiotic text analysis, narrative theory, new historicism, feminism and other methods to analyze and interpret. Use literature method, comparative law research methods for discussing Humei heroic narrative technique, a series of heroic image she created, as well as the societal roles and family values of men and women. Then make a comprehensive and systematic analysis to Humei's heroic narrative.
