In present time, the position of China contemporary children’s local novels is fairly awkward:Literary field rules and the changing of readers’taste and literature features have marginalized the once-thriving children’s local literature. Meanwhile,, while subjecting to the context of social transformation, children’s local novels, with their own artistic exploration, never cease to depict the changing of the times and form their new aesthetic ideology and narrative features.These nesthetic ideology and narrative features calls for theoretical research:Describe its shape, explore its meaning and make conclusive "statements". Given the situation that the study of children’s local novels is just in its first stage, that only a few valuable research results have been got, and that the theoretical research is still very tenuous, it is urgent to propel such research.The "transformation Context" of this paper refers to literary context and social context of which children’s local literature describ, reconstruct and interpret the transformation from traditional society to modern society. Considering the typicality and specificity of social transformation in China, this study is limited to the period after1990s.Based on the actual development of native literature, the situation of the using of concept in research community and the coincidence with this research, the notion of "Local Novel" is a relatively open and broad concept, covering all local novel form."Children’s Local Novel" is a branch of the "local novel".It is child-oriented and mainly caters to the aesthetic psychology of children. It mainly describes the life of village children, with the unity of the local style and characteristics of children.This study, based on the collection and analysis of typical texts, adopting narrative research methods and combining field theory, Philosophy for Children and imagologie, analyze the characterization of typical texts in transition context. It also reasonably adopts the research results of sociology, cultural anthropology, psychology and other related disciplines. This paper mainly analyse and generalise the narrative forms of contemptary children local novels under specific context of situation so as to find out the similarities and differences of local childhood narrative form, to analyse its inherent power of narrative, and interpret the underlying childhood password.The study focused on three aspects:1. the narrative form of local novels under transformation circumstance;2text rendering of local childhood form under transformation circumstance;3. text rendering of social transformation.Specifically, the contents of this study are as follows:First, to explore the reconstruction of narrative environment in text.This section will analyze the relationship between rural environmental changes and childhood ecology from the dimensions of rural environment narrative space, narrative time of rural environment and rural interpersonal environment changesSecond, explore the relationship between fictional rhetoric and childhood forms. Starting from the relationship between thinking, focusing on the setting and characterization of three specific characters, this section will concentrate on the subtle changes of human relationship in narrative so as to analyse the writing of the shame and anger of rural children under the circumstance of social transformation, in order to reveal the structural change of rural character.Third, to explore the narrative form and implication of the children’s local novels.This section will mainly discuss three narrative forms. Beginning from the integrity, uniqueness, and the context of thinking, this section analyzes the overall outlook of the performance by the children’s local novels for social transformation, from the inner narrative power to various cultural relations and further into the deeper implication of text. Considerring the background that China original Children literature is short of systemic aesthetic consciousness and native sense, the study of children local novel is helpful to enrich children literature theory, thus to provide a useful thinking for building a theoretical system of children literature which has its own national and local aesthetic style.
