Several hundred years have passed, which is the best god-evil novel has been popular. But few researchers are interested in the writers of the story because they were not the same times. and are better than the other continuous books, however, they are not as good as .So the research about them is not enough. This text will compare the book with these two continuous books, especially the view of value in them. From times, the difference shows the suspect ion and the betrayal to the traditional value about the literati who live in late Ming dynasty. The book and its continuous books were combined by this way, and we will find the new worth about the continuous books. At the same time, the research will help us look at the ideology of the feudal intellectual from literature, and think the deduce appearance about the classic stories in the contemporary era.Full text is divided into three parts. First part catches the particularity of to see the view of value from the figure and the plot. First section has analyzed Sun Wukong and others who go on a pilgrimage for Buddhist scriptures. They had the similar but not same individual experience. Finally they all had promoted the life meaning though achieving the scriptures. This is embodying the traditional value, which looks morals and colony as important things. Second section is entering the plot of the book. All sorts of tribulations on the road of going to the west are stressing "the merits and virtues". Individual value and colony value are unified in these plots. It's no doubt that the plots recognize getting to the moral objective by realizing merits and virtues. This is the full characteristic that traditional value sight.The structure and the content of two continuous books are analyzed deeply, and compared with in second part. We can find that the continuous books have carried the subject of god-evil novel as before, but they have been close to the reality life. attacked the sham morals and realized it impossible to save the world. It is the negative value. was finished at the end of Ming dynasty.In this works, position and wealth, rich and glory, hero and beauty girl are put into the unreal world. Full the book is enveloping the dense unreal sense. Two stories all affirm that the individual possesses his own value outside the colony, seeking the new standard to weigh it. From this we know the fact that literati are puzzled, disappointed and ignorant in late Ming dynasty. But this is a start to think deeply about the traditional value.Final part of the thesis gives an objective analysis about the reasons of the changes. The first reason: the development of society economy causes the change of the way of life, thus providing a special existence environment to literati who live in late Ming dynasty. They couldn't find the seat of themselves in such society, and money and material desires were directly dashing their traditional concept. The second reason: the imperial examinations system in the reality couldn't make literati's dreams be true, on the contrary, it quickened the differentiation of them. The third reason: study of heart provided new thought field for literati, and made their individual consciousness to be moved towards ripe step by step.The thesis is made every effort to set out from the works itself. The colony of literati is the center. And we can grasp the general character of the colony in the difference of the works. It's a trial to expand the research field about god-evil novel, and its continuous books.
