It considers that the Shen Congwen'snovel narration has experienced from unconsciousness to consciousnessagain to unconsciousness process and has brought the renewal in thecontent of the traditional basic topic by the earlier period narration, whichhas initiated fluent narration and the unique style formation of novel inthe later period.

The novel has formed theunique feeling of speed, which on the one hand controls the reading senseand organ and on the other hand optimizes the content layout. Chapter Three: Entering the later period, the preliminary narrationangle stresses on the narration of the view angle. The so-called narrationof the view angle emphasizes more on the angle of observation anddeepens the dynamics of narration.Chapter Four: As a discussion topic, the symbolization depends onthe status and the function in the whole narration. In the later novel, thesymbolization is an acme of special image development which becomesthe rare and beautiful flowers of Shen Congwen's novel.Conclusion: Narration does not defend stubbornly on a pattern. Forthe pattern Shen Congwen's novel returns to original state -without anypattern, its narrative achievement has created a new high tide in the novelhistory.
