The subjectivity of life existence is the kernel of Mo Yan’s literary creation. In thecreation, he will live revert to the most basic lifestyle, everything is covered by thediscourse power subject of the primitive state of the spirit of the show, let the peoplehave their own ideology and value, and others of equal dialogue, forming a hubbub ofvoices of polyphony narrative.Mo Yan’s novel "polyphonic" and "dialogue" as flesh texture widespreaddistribution in the works, it is not only in structure, also reflected in time and space andperspective. To sum up, his text exist four dialogue models: large-scale dialogue betweencharacters, character inside the miniature dialogue, the dialogue between text anddialogue between reality and fable. He got rid of the diachronic linear narrative, let thepast, present and future of all events are staged at the same time and space, form thetemporal and spatial overlap of the polyphonic, also set the multiple perspectives, the textwith multiple voice dinned polyphonic effect.The application of polyphony, both expand the narrative space of Mo Yan’s novel,and also provides the possibility for the novel ambiguity. However, for him, polyphonyis only a means, not the ultimate purpose. In his creation, he squeezed the mainstreamideology water, and presented the true landscape of the existence of life, showing theindividual spirit of life. He broke the situation of the "center of culture" and "marginalculture" dualism, constructed a multi-dialogue picture of the world. He also deconstructsthe myth of moral reason and historical reason, restored the edge figure real living scene,let them have the right to freedom of writing life history. However, his narrative wayultimately makes the text presents an incompletion, forming a new narrative strategy,breaking the traditional novel monologue-challenges some ideology of supremeauthority, bring the innovation of artistic thinking.
