First from the status and the writing interaction relations, The thesis studies the writer'cultural identity and cultural position about how to influence the creation and the concrete embodiment of the works. Jhu Tian-wun not only imitates Zhang Ailing, but also obtains enlightenments from Hu Lancheng, which makes her deeply influenced by the Chinese classical literature tradition. Therefore, she carried on Zhang Ailing' magnificent literary style and develop Hu Lancheng's negative principle history theory under the metropolis linguistic environment; As a non-native generation who grown up in the army community, she paid attention to officers , soldiers and their children's living circumstances which originated from the mainland.

Facing the time changes, Jhu Tian-wun place the consumptive materials, desires, overflowing life as representative object and considers sensory experience as a means to against industrial civilization alienation. She is highly sensitive to the time concept and she deeply discusses about the temporal-spatial thesis. Besides, she constantly disagrees with the subject, break linear narrative logic in the novel creation process. All these make her fiction texts present strong characteristics of pos-modernism.
