Zhaxidawa is an outstanding representative of Tibetan writers in the new era, and one of the representative writers during the height of contemporary Chinese magic realism literature. His magic realism novels marked that the Tibetan Literature had embarked on a new stage. Zhaxidawa showed the cultural psychology of the nation through magic realism. He record the Tibetan people's life history and life experience, and made a useful exploration in the creation of literature of national character. From the review of national attitudes, Zhaxidawa was on the Tibetan cultural circle, and really created as a Tibetan, and therefore he is full of infinite love and deep reflection on this nation. His works have had a great influence in China and even the world, and he has set an example for the literary creation in the new period of China.Zhaxidawa's novels creation processes were generally divided into two periods. During the early period from 1979 to 1984, his works mostly reflect the Tibetan social life in the initial stage of the reform by the strong realistic colors. With the Lhasa youth as the main objects of description, the writer described their various complex and psychological state in their lives and performed the mental outlook of that era. During this period, either in the ideological content or in the artistic technique, Zhaxidawa was at the exploratory stage. However, for the latter part of creation from 1985 to 1992, Zhaxidawa's creation has undergone a tremendous change, with a kind of the new-look feeling. From the ideological content, he incorporated more of culture content, with myths, legends, religious stories and folk customs as the novel's basic elements. In artistic characteristics his novels present the features and style of mysterious, magical and fantastic.Zhaxidawa has achieved great success for his magic realism novels in the Tibetan literary and even the national literary world, which of course can not do without some of the generated background. The background is the "explosion" influence of the Latin American Magic Realism and the promotion of Local magic realism novels. However, Zhaxidawa's creative interests had turned to other artistic fields and achieved success before his last magic realism full-length opus "The Fall On Top Of The Mast" finished. There are many reasons for the end of Zhaxidawa's magic realism novels creation, such as the writer's own (for other artistic creation) causes; the recipients'(readers, the publishing market and other factors) reasons; the literary background (the decline of local magic realism creation) and so on.From the development track of Zhaxidawa's magical realism novel creation, it's easy to see the course of rise and fall of Chinese magic realism novels. As Zhaxidawa's magical realist novels creation has widespread impact in China and even the world, it's of great importance and value on the development and prosperity of contemporary Chinese literature, Chinese Contemporary Ethnic Literature and Tibetan Literature.
