This paper, in the perspective of bakhtin’s theory of space and time body, with zhao Hengyi’s theory--- "irony is a kind of figures of speech beyond the rhetoric"---as the foundation, examines the creation of the "1970s" female writer Zhu Wenying in jiangsu. In her works, all kinds of physical space switch build the culture of time and space body, and the female experience of the inner conflicts construct the psychological time and space body, which are the important expressive form of seeking the meaning in the experience of irony and also are one of the basic way of interpreting the novel.Since the early novel Yan Cheng and Shanghai in The Eve of Yu Zhi and Liangxiao, Zhu Wenying novel by a series of works--- high heels, water love fate, Ms. Dai and blue and Aunt Lily’s Tiny South, show frequent changes of the space, and through the floating, Wu Liang Palace in Wanli Period and rainbow she transform the two city structure, from physical space to the cultural space. As a result, they form zhu’s novel peculiar irony body form of space and time.This time and space body imprisons life by cultural principles, and covers all mankind life nothingness by life nothingness of emerging middle class. Square, the canary and Abstinence Times and so on go from modern differences into psychological time and space differences. That is, by the life of three generations of women gradually degrading, the curve of the refraction of human depravity, life ethics collapse in widening the space range. In action "escape-- forced to return" narrative mode, the metaphor shows during different periods of time people’s permanent pursuit of value and the reality of the helpless fate, and the encountered irony under the natural care.The thesis is divided into five Parts.The introduction part from the writer’s background and the characters of double sense under the writer’s pen summaries the situation of common irony. Like all existence that is thirst for the life value in a closed space, Zhu Wenying’s individual writing criticizes, rejects all the cultural systems, but never resists natural state of life ethics. She only seeks self-salvation in the exquisite trivial words.The first chapter analyzes from zhu’s novels from the structure of two cities to switches of various kinds of cultural space. Zhu continues the narrative strategy of dickens novels and Eileen chang’s, and reveals the differences of modernity, and the modern cover of various kinds of cultural space switches. In the tense and complicated time, space closed unchanged, isolated from the rest of time. The enclosed space and time body kills life within cultural systems, and the individual psychological alienation of all cultural system embodies the nothingness of life.The second chapter analyzes the conflicts between the difference of female psychology time and space form and inner experience. The space of three generations of women’s activities is gradually expanding, but the psychological space becomes more isolated, emotional space is running much drier and more infertile. This psychological space and time body leads to escape, filicidal, individual life castrated, parent-child conflicts, and hostility of husband and wife and so on. The "room" ethical conflicts are increasingly severe.The third chapter, through actions "escape-- forced to return" narrative mode, analyzes the original cultural meaning of " cheongsam ", grandpa and " pavilion". From "high heels" to " cheongsam ", it shows the traditional female space-time form of cultural identity. Through the legendary life of grandpa this essay discusses castrate of grandchildren generation, indulgence of father generation within the system, footloose life poetics of ancestors. With "pavilion" for the image, traditional culture spirit encounters irony in the modern capitalist society, resulting into the plight of business.The final conclusion partially believes that physical time and space and psychological space and time are the basic structure of Zhu Wenying ironic novel writing. Based on such literary forms, her novels use metonymy to express psychological alienation of culture system. Not only does it continue helpless irony of zhang ailing’s, and the overall symbols of Shen Congwen, and shows the emerging middle class spirit depravation, the emptiness of values and the collapse of life ethics.
