Hanger-ons of aristocrat, have always been ignored by the literature and history researchers, are part of bachelor stratum in ancient China, which epitomizes the style and values during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Their literary images are typical. In the past, the narrow concept had been used in the studies on the Hanger-ons of aristocrat, however, the broad concept will be used to discuss about the alien minister and assassin in this paper. Hanger-ons of aristocrat appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, and prosperous in the Era of the Warring States Period.Because of the value differences between the Hanger-ons of aristocrat of the two Eras, what they showed the characteristics in their literary works are loyalty, revanchism and chasing fame and fortune,and pragmatism. Both of them have the common psychological mechanism and behavior pattern, which have a direct impact on their story narration and make the Hanger-ons of aristocrat’s stories show a fixed narrative mode in the pre-Qin era.This mode performs differently in three parts:the narrow concept of the Hanger-ons of aristocrat, assassin and alien minister. In this case, the literature images of the aristocrat and the Hanger-ons have a certain degree of commonality, but their mutual independence is very obvious, some of the Hanger-ons have even been portrayed as typical images of the pre-Qin literature.The language style of Hanger-ons of aristocrat has a lot of features. In narrow sense, it is slightly similar to schemer and Political Strategists, while the alien minister’s language style is clearly expressed on this style. The description of Su Qin in the "Strategies of the Warring States Period" has a certain distance of historical truth that can be seen by the comparison of "Letter of Political Strategists of the Warring States Period" and "Strategies of the Warring States period". By comparing, the history image and the characteristic of language of alien minister can be restored. Moreover, the high achievement on moulding characters and language of the "Strategies in the Warring States Period" can be seen clearly.The groups and individuals of Hanger-ons of aristocrat left little articles and writings, many of them had been lost, or could not be figured out because of the uncertain authors. What can be applied to analysis for the group of literature is only "Lu Spring and Autumn", and individuals only left "Kung-sun lung Tzu" by Gong sun Long. Alien minister is the major author in Hanger-ons of aristocrat, the content of their writings includes the theory of Legalists, Military strategists, Confucian and so on.This part of alien minister is the intersection with the Hanger-on and all classes of authors. The style of literature of them shows utility, practicality and political just like the Hanger-ons of aristocrat, while the extensive, philosophical just like the prose of all classes of authors.Due to the abundant information and the highly typical of literature in the Warring States period, it is discussed as the centre in this paper. In the stage of figures’ hierarchical analysis, the discussion is mainly divided into three parts:narrow concept of the Hanger-ons of aristocrat, assassin, and alien minister. The main research technique of this thesis is to carry some narrative text on the contrast such as "Strategies of the Warring States Period","Letter of Political Strategists of the Warring States Period"," Historical Records", and to put them into analysis, then sum up some narrative patterns. At the same time, on the basis of the analysing of historical material, the author will file documents and related research materials and finish the major works that left by the Hanger-ons of aristocrat in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and analyse the creation characteristic.The hanger-on of aristocrat is the epitome of bachelor stratum, their literary images and work characteristics play the important role of making us a deeper understanding of the literature of the pre-Qin era.
