For half a century, because of the different historical and cultural situation, the landlord’s images in the Chinese contemporary fictions appear very various. The writers of "Seventeen years" period mostly handle this image from the perspective of class scale, which makes the landlord image of this period more typical. The writers since the new period pay more attention to the abundant personality traits from the perspective of human nature, and keep developing the complicated human nature. The huge differences between the images of "Seventeen years" and the landlord’s in the novel in the new period lie in numerous reasons, such as different context ages, author and reader’s dynamic views on history, culture, literature and aesthetic, and the influence of changing literature, culture trends. To the contemporary literature, it is very profound that the landlord’s image of the "seventeen years" period, the typical image, has gradually transferred to the more humanized image in the new period.
