It is scarce for articles and achievements to analyze of Aitmatov`s the White Ship and Shen Congwen`s the Border Town by comparing sights and to research for relationship between the elder and child by using Lacan's "Mirror Stage Theory" in current academic sphere. And Lacan's theory is more valuable for promoting between the old man and the child relation field than limited to between the baby and parents. So, to use it interpreting works is deliberately learning and using the western modern theory, also it can put the relation between the elder and child in literature toward psychoanalysis level which is reality and perspective. In addition, the elder and child is vulnerable groups, they are usually characteristic of evoking people's sympathy and compassion and are tragic character who reveal a kind of shocking tragedy power. Moreover, it is also highly academic value to systematically analyze the structural relation hiding under the aesthetic level. In the new historical conditions, Of course, to solve such problems reflecting of agricultural-civilization, inheriting national culture-heritage and protecting local culture, those should not ignore such rural subjects novels as the White Ship and the Border Town,which bearing the important cultural value and artistic value, so the author keep an eye on the works.Firstly, this article illuminates systematically that the psychological relationship between elder and child is structured. From the elders sight, on a hand, the child is regarded the elder as self ideal-structure, on the other hand is regarded him as the "others" of authenticating himself through "the role of internal and external projection mechanism"; From the child's point of view, the elder is child's "mother", and their psychological link is "Phallus", that is, desire of signer, which is the two images of "Long-antlers female deer" and "Ferryboat" corresponding to the White Ship and the Border Town. So the elder and child are more closely in the psychological level and their relationship constitutes the psychoanalytical "maternal-infant ternary relationship".Secondly, analyzing carefully the realistic problems that the elder and child are faced in two texts. According to "maternal-infant ternary relations" of inner composition, the common destiny of elder and child is a missing from "father's name". In fact, the elder and child are actually "children" of common "father" (social symbolic order), and they also subject to social symbolic order, with social symbolic order seeing it. Thus, under the circumstances, psychological developing trajectories of elder and the child's is to find their own symbol order and to enter it according to two works. Images of this symbolic order is two persons named Tian Bao, Nuo Song in the Border Town and is white ship in the white ship .Thirdly, discussing on the tragedy contained in characters of elder and child. As stated above, it is phallus to connect the elder and child, naturally, the great destruction should predict that the elder-child system broken, which tragic inevitably exploding. For children, it is the tragedy of the growing because father's name such wandering that child not grabbing it, such a conclusion only is hopelessly expected (it is Cuicui in the Border Town) and ruthless destruction (it is child in the white ship). For elder, it is the dead tragedy because death is discarded by father's name, more important thing is the elder worrying child (another self) because he didn't find father. Finally, the argument focuses on the tragedy of the elder and child how to pester, to effect each other into double tragedy.This article demonstrates that the elder and child's relationship is as a starting point which they faced reality reasoning out its psychological developing track is looking for father from two works. And to discuss the instability of this relationship obtain a conclusion that the double tragedy is a intricate body consisted of grow-up and death, castrated and deprivation, despair and worry by analyzing the essence of the relation as maternal-infant ternary relation. This conclusion is meaningful for re-repeating character's relation in literature and for reconstructing the harmonious relations in current sociality.
