Calvino is a constructor in an age of deconstruction.He tirelessly reconstructed the new standard of judgement,and seriously practiced the new standardin the field of writing.He was keepping the independence and freedom of literary creation.In the deep ocean of literary metaphor,Calvinotaked its lightness and transparency,and absorbed the allegorize style from literary tradition.He had been resisted laziness in thinking,actively participated in the construction of a new myth world,and showed a real world in different ways.The Castle of Crossed Destinies is the important work in the rest life of his writing career.This paper expounded Calvino's poetic metaphor from this work,combining with his creation course,which tried to go to derive Calvino's poetic essence of metaphor,enrich the systemic research of the novel,and provide different aesthetic perspectives to study the metaphors.The Castle of Crossed Destiniesis a significant work of Calvino's creative transformation stage,showing anthropology,semiotics,phenomenology and so on.It brought the reader a rich and colorful reading experience.Many of these image metaphors built a rich connotation of metaphor symbol system.The wide source of these symbolic metaphor,the peculiar construction of the space of the work,and the profound consideration of human existence,are the important fulcrums in studying Calvino's poetic metaphor.Except the introduction and conclusion,the Paper is divided into three chapters in total,to discusses the poetics of Calvino metaphor step by step.The first chapter is divided into two sections.The first section,on the whole,combs the history of research and development of literary metaphor,combining with European literature,to face the tradition of literary metaphors.The second section discusses the relationship of calvino and literature,which is to see his absorption and breakthrough of tradition of literary metaphor on the one hand,and to expound his original ideas,combining with his pursuit of "light" literary standard,that is important to understand The Castle of Crossed Destinies.The second chapter mainly specificly analysizes the metaphor types in The Castle of Crossed Destinies,which is divided into two sections.In the first quarter from the tarotmetaphor symbolic system and "crystal structure" metaphor,the paper discussed interdependent relationship between the tarot metaphor and the structural metaphor.In the second quarter,the different image mataphors are listed which are divided in five types.This part elucidates that Calvino inherited the tradition of metaphor and carry on innovation in it.This chapter show Calvino's the corresponding psychological changes in the creative transformation period,which paves the way for studying Calvino's poetic conception.The third chapter is the last part.From the way of deepening the relationship between literature and anthropology,and the innovation of literary form,Calvino's poetic viewpoints are discussed deeply.The first section discusses the importance of building bridges between literature and anthropology,respectively from mythical thinking,imagination experience and ritualized narration to analyze,which reveal the independent relationship of Calvino metaphor,literary and anthropology.The second quarter is mainly to analyze the construction of "newmyth",which involves the innovation of the literary form.According to the "lightness" of calvino's literature,the open encyclopedia and "crystal structure" are the two critical points to explore in the importance of the construction of "new myth".Calvino metaphor has a unique way of perception and interpretation,which is beyond personal centralism and enlighten Human,but also they are close to the aesthetic standardsof "lightness" "speediness" and "precision".Calvino indeed is an independent writer.By changing the way to see the world,he deeply reflect the human existence situation.At the same time,he created a colorful metaphor world,to improve the current literary environment and injecting fresh power.InThe Castle of Crossed Destinies,Calvino constructed a fantasy space-time of metaphor,which is the most vast realm.Calvino metaphor always make the indeterminacy of meaning to be a direction,breaking through the historical context and the limitation of inherent experience,which actively help mankind to expand the imagination space,understand the multiple dimensions of the world.Meanwhile it provides a new practical path for the development of literature.
