As for the development of children's literature especially the tales , time is one of the key words . In past research, researchers paid close attention to the subject and the aspect of time, but little on narrative time and structure.The article is based on narrative time, through discriminating definition, history and close reading, expounds the significance of the reformation on the time to tale's narrated structure and the development of it's art. It also checks the development and evolution on how to deal with the skills on narrative time in fairy tales and literature fairy tales. We can say that, evolution from fairy tales to literary fairy tales, the most important dimension is time development. The article is divided into three parts: study on narrative time in fairy tales and literary fairy tales and the prospective on Chinese tale's development through narrative time.In the study on fairy tale's narrative time, I take out the Western classical fairy tales, utilize narrative time's theory in narratology, generalize three characters on narrative time and structure in fairy tales based on close reading. There are affection on person's characters in fairy tales from time's linear array, plot time is identical with narrative time integrated plot structure and distinctive cause and effect's retribution pattern, the indistinct background of fairy tales and it narrates eternal truth through non-time tales.In literary fairy tales, I pay more attention to the influence to narrative time's reformation and the aesthetic effect. It generalizes three characters of narrative time imputed leads to enter dreamland directly. Breached plot time and specialized narrative time leads to the bilinear structure. Time is given concrete image through time itself and it shows the writer's philosophical thinking.In the third part, I check the defection of narrative time in Chinese contemporary tales. I take out two tales in the first and the second awards on children's literature and art all over the country. The article elaborates Chinese tale's traits in the long time. It contacts time with time efficiency, erects right time consciousness through tales and use tales to overcome unhealthy habits. It points out that narrative is a new growing point for Chinese tale's development.
