The writers of 20th century as son-level, encountered three great fatherly images known as symbol order of Chinese feudal society tradition, symbol order of socialism revolution culture and symbol order of western modern culture. They faced different times' context, complied relevant sense of value and adopted different attitude: some subjected to father-ruled symbol order, some said no to all the shackles and went out from home to look for ideal father, and others fulfilled their true fathers and paid no attention to father-ruled world. When we study the 20th century Chinese clan/family novel systematically, we will find that the novel text of the clan/family novel in the times of May Fourth Movement: the conflict relationship of father and son is a metaphor for our nation situation in the traditional feudal symbol order; adopts unity of oppositions in the narrative mode, rebellious son perspective and look-down perspective; in the clan/family novel text in the "seventeen years", the complot of father-son relationship covers great narrative of revolution history and comply to the narrative syntax of revolution-centered, versatile perspective and "look-up" perspective; for the clan/family novel writing, the explanation of the relationship between father and son imitated and overturn the historical narrative and set up imitation and ironic narrative mode, the perspective of "I" and observation. At the same time, there is still a force in the folk to safeguard and call for ideal father image beyond the above three mainstream.
