Since Doris Lessing has won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2007, the domestic translation and research about works of Lessing gradually series, and scale. Lessing's early works is more realism and his middle works turns to give priority to the combining of modern socialist realism and modernism, beginning with the work of golden notebook works in the middle of for beginning, thinking and reflecting on the ages and human destiny through multi-levels and multi-perspectives.The golden notebook "is the most influential literary work of Lessing, which has a high reputation in the world, the writer says in its preface 1971 when it was reprint that the work was a collapse and integration.it represent the writer's thinking and reflecting about the living moral and the ideal justice of real life as well as the relation between the war freedom and the gender.. The breadth and depth of the literary, always remains the focus of the domestic and foreign research of theories.But previous research work always starts with the perspective of feminism, subject to learn, and narrative. Few pay attention to work space narrative art features. Lessing works, through the form of the space structure, physical space narrative function, psychological space narrative function, construct multiple space of crisscross to compare with the broken real world. The use of the skill of space narrative is the golden notebook's narrative characteristic. Therefore, this paper tries to use the space narrative theory, combining with the related theory of psychology, specifically analyzing its features of space narrative, thus explain that the work perfectly reflect and deepen the theme of chaos, split and integration, through the use of space narrative theories by experiment and research of the space narrative theory.This paper from the four aspects:The first chapter of this article use the space narrative theory which is the emerging theory formed in narrative field Spaces while its turning, narrative theory circles on space is still relatively unfamiliar, the use of space narrative theory is chaos, therefore, this chapter introduces the background of the philosophy and sociology of spatial turn to narrative field, and the contents and aims of the theory of space narrative category.The second chapter, combining foreign scholars Joseph·frank' theory of space forms, to explain that the work's narrative structure presents the characteristics of space. namely "space golden notes".

Lessing split psychological space for Anna chaos the construction of the absurd, mapping, confusion, greedy human reality world.The fourth chapter that space narrative theory, with not only the space as Lessing story took place and narrative indispensable scene in use of space, more conscious, promote the narrative process, deepening the themes. This chapter basically from two parts discusses the narrative function space. The first part, mainly from the "free women", explains the space places of narrative inner-cinnabar influence of space, and to promote the progress of the mapping and added that theme; The second part, the main analysis "five notes" Africa in the space and place the important position in the writer memory, Africa as memories, as passing time space markers exist, in works not only has the narrative function, but also caused the initial hero schizophrenia works roots.Through the above analysis, this paper studies the chapters in the author conclude Lessing works construct multiple space narrative effect, space narrative feature is the golden notebook, "a narrative characteristic, is a writer based on the traditional narrative, combines the modern, postmodern skills, from the form to the contents are actively should be divided into confusion, the integration of the experimental result and successful theme.
