Magic dose not simply refers to demons,or the crotchet of fantasy.it is the literati’s thinking of human existence under the literary culture,and the understanding of the living rules of all the nature creatures.this paper takes Chinese mainland writer Jia Pingwa and the Taiwan writer Sung Tse-lai as the study objects,primarily with reference to the creation methods of their magical realism novel Cherishing the memory of the Wolves and The City Where The Blood-red Bat Descended,takes “metamorphosis”as the study theme,to excavate authors’ concern and appeal about peoples’ missing spiritual attribution during the contrast.The introduction part roughly reviews the Literature Thoughts that the two writers belong to,one is the continent “root-seeking literature”ideological trend in 1980 s, another one is the Taiwan “local literature”ideological trend in 1970 s,they occurred at the not exactly same time, but there are still many corresponding parts.besides,it puts forward the feasibility on this contrast and the new perspective on the basis of the two writers’ research status.The Chapter 1 is the contrast of the two writers’ life experience and the similarity of their inter-related text.it researches the writers writing style in different periods under the influence of their own outlook on life and values after what they had been through,also to find the similar position during their writing career of this two magical realism works,and build a platform for further comparison between them.The Chapter 2 studies the specific performance of the “metamorphosis”theme on basis of the magical realism approach that Chapter 1 mentioned.The Chapter 3 deeply analysis the reason of the metamorphosis from the novel text.To start with, according to anthropologist Edward Burnett Tylor’s animism,it finds animism’s impact on the culture structure of Jia Pingwa,and the clearly exist of the animism. As well as to point out the metamorphosis from Cherishing the memory of the Wolves is the inevitable result of “spirit”’existence from animism。In addition to, in the light of the Scottish theologian J.Macquarrie’s theories in 20 th century,it combsother theologians’ evil arguments, and also demonstrate the metamorphosis from The City Where The Blood-red Bat Descended is closely related to people sins referred by the Christian doctrine.Although the reasons of metamorphosis appear to belong to two different for supporting ideas and religion area,These two texts actually revealed the same humane care of the two writers’, that is referring to their concern about universal human survival dilemma. Such as the personal chaos, the indulgence, the worthless living, the meaningless life,etc.This concern comes from the arrogance, pride, even the nothingness emotions brought by human power under the highly developed modern civilization.Whether it is in front of the “spirit ” or “God”, When humans only focus on self-existence and lost in the material jungle constructed by human strength, then human falls into a very dangerous situation.The two works give a different reaction on this problem, Cherishing the memory of the Wolves is not directly giving a disaster rescue plan, but the animism of the text contains the answer itself, The City Where The Blood-red Bat Descended takes God saving the sins of the world as the ultimate way to pointed out to us the attribution of religious places,However, in the most basic and essential level,they both show us the mind and caring as the literati who are burdened with human suffering. This last section will be presented at the conclusion of the fourth chapter.
