In recent 10 years of new century, with the more and more historical works appeared, Scholars have achieved tremendous accomplishments on the study of the relationship between literature and history. Particularly under the present historical context the new-generation writers have expressed their dissatisfaction increasingly with the nihility, depravation, sensitiveness and somniloquy manifested in post-modernity literature.Under the impacts of new-historicism literature view and critic theory, writers have re-tried to adopt methods with comprehensive, constructive and recognizable history view to the production of works to seek new value-added points of literature, to explore the art vitality of literature under actual context, and to re-assess the value of history to the production of literature. So as to re-explore the issues such as the relationship of literature and history to adapt to subtle changes of writing tendency, literature views and critic theory in new century's literature works. Under the enlightenment of new historicism, relying on the re-interchange of historical discourse and literature discourse, writers re-put the development history of contemporary politics and nationalities'life history in the manifestation field of literature to break free from the confusion of nihilism of literature esthetic and re-satisfy needs of vitality of literature art of writers and readers. Trying to comb the relationship between literature and history, and explore the recombination pattern of historical discourse and literal discourse, in the course of discussion of historic truth and literature fiction, rethinking literature essence that is truth, and taking Lier's Huaqiang as an example to explore the possible passages of the achieving literature truth.However, the essence of history is story. Inevitably a kind of text must seek the help of narration so as to be a story. In spite of its vitality lies in historical reality and documentary, any historian cannot avoid adopting the patterns of non-narrative and counter-narrative. It was its narrative that history has been changed as one kind of art represented like literature. Thus the barriers have been removed between history and literature to achieve the joint of tradition and modernity, and the accommodation of history and literature. In the 10-year literature of new century, plenty of historical novels adopt a kind of resisting and confronting position to expose and counteract. The methods such as joking, deconstruction, entertainment actually are trying to use pragmatism, entertainment to conduct the disenchantment of history. Unfortunately, this jammed in the awkward condition of non-historicism narration.We hold that true historicism narration should get involved into history from aesthetic, folk, individual and cultural prospects, by means of attitude of utilitarianism and non-dualism to enrich signification and meaning of literature to achieve true effect. This new writing model undoubtedly will open an important situation, furthermore to change the windy and degraded writing inertia, to open up broad vision for its eternal vitality, finally to achieve a true understanding of modernity of new century's literature, to reach the goal of practicing the tactics of new historical narrative.
