Making a general survey of the development trend of Chinese narrative literature, we can easily find that: Chinese literature has obvious characters on planning, arrangement, characterization, and writing technique, etc. Especially, Literary Tales of the Tang initiated a new general mood of novel creation. Using temporary narrative theory to excavate, arrange and study Literary of the Tang, will have an important role not only on carrying on Trend of thought in Chinese Ancient literature and art, but also on developing, improving Chinese current narration and literature theory system. This essay will study Literary Tales of the Tang preliminarily from structure, time, angle of view and images in order to find the unique cultural code of Chinese narration.As the beginner of Chinese stylistic novel, the structure of Literary Tales of the Tang is short.

Overlapping details, unexpected plots; Using comparison to form complicated, soul-stirring structure characteristic; To display the writer' s personal talent, Literary Tales of the Tang posses the structure characteristic of owning numerous styles in one novel: fromthe time, most of the tales use single - line time to narrate. The complicated peculiarity of love novels results to its particular time arrangement skill. The inverse time narration is often used, with obvious speed changes and strong rhythm. On the angles of view, it not only uses the first person to narrate, but use the third person. The image mode was used to metaphor the fates of characters by core images, to design poetic charm circumstance, expression the meaning of authenticating object, ghost stories, etc. by repeating images.Comparing with the love novels, Ghost novels show the marvelous plots. Therefore, the structure of these style novels was displayed on the marvelous plots and superior writing technique. The writer deformed the time relationship and made an imagined space. This results to strong contrast between the current space and the novel' s space. The other characteristic is: the arrangement was separated while narrating the fantastic stories, and also confirmed the made-up conception.The contents of chivalrous novels involves: helping those in distress and in peril, getting rid of bullies, bringing peace and stability to the country, etc., in order to emphasis the persevere and outstanding personalities, superb Kong-Fu, magnificent achievements of the chivalry and to present a kind of unruly life taste.
