The goal of the thesis is to study the discourse and narration of Chinese revolution in the"post-revolutionary era".During this period, the act of revolutions has come to an end, the revolutionary ideology has been no longer dominant and anti-revolutionary discourse and narration has been authoritative.

In the Introduction, I discusse the complex relationship between enlightenment, revolution and modernity in the history of ideas in the 20th century, explore the"atmosphere of post-revolutionary"reflecting and criticizing the Chinese revolution with the comprehensive transformation of Chinese society since the"new era", and put forward the thesis of the basic ideas and methods. The first chapter of the thesis,"From Revolution to Post-revolution", focuses on the fate of the narrative of the revolution in contemporary China from the leading position to the deconstructed and reconstructed situation. The second chapter of the thesis,"The Variation between Symbol and Allegory", pointes out that the symbol structure is widely used in the revolutionary narrative for the progress of historical determinism beliefs, which infiltrated of Marxist-style confidence to transform and conquer nature. But in the"post-revolutionary era", people's eye to revolutionary narration is "allegory" and that the determinism of history has a guard, and mixes of the history of revolution and revolutionary narration. However, how to do after the dismantling of the symbolic significance of all those? After"disenchanting"the revolution, the aesthetic sublimity having been totally replaced by"absurd"of post-modern style, and then whether is there a need then a"call back the soul"of the ceremony in the wilderness of the spirit at a loss?
