Initiation is an eternal topic of humankind as well as an everlasting theme of the children's literature. The narration of Initiation,which is connected with the comprehension,request and design of Initiation in a given society, implies a rich and profound riddle of main body. In this dissertation,the change of Initiation discourse in The Children's literature will be researched and sleeked to reach a unique comprehension of the great hidden picture of ideology. This dissertation consists of three chapter except the introduction and the conclusion.In the preface the issue,the object and the angle of the dissertation have been charified. The discourse of Initiation,which always contains the explain and the constracton of the reality,and design the ways of Initiation,changes the narration of Initiation into a process of rhetoric.Therefore,time,space,and main body are three different angles at which Initiation discourse will be discussed.In the first chapter, the transformation of the narration of Initiation is probed into at a temporal dimension. Events in the texts in Fragrance of the old days,the first volume of the selected series of The Children's literature , are marked with various political time of historical time,which are the core of the time expression of the time and therefore inevitably bring the time expression into a frame of history and collectivity,implies a structure of the past/the present,or the present/the future , which explain the history and the reality and is seen as the truth of the time and the ethicality when the aggregative time rank first in the significance of various time. The individual has no choice but to give up his own time and dance with the cadence of the collectivity,and therefore,the individual time is covered by the great social time.Then,in Flourishing flowers in Flourishing Times,the second volume of the selected series of Children's literature, the individal time plays an increasingly important role in the temporal expression and gains a great capacity for the injection of the natural time and the break through of communal time. Caring for the past,the present and the future,the individual time has been changed into a grand time,and contains the free will of main body. At last,in The Scenery on the Road, a kind of minute and time debris appears as a frame with which other time structures are contained.and therefore the interior world is manifested in a more sufficient way.In the second chapter, the transformation of the narration of Initiation is probed into at a space dimension.. The the space rhetoric in Fragrance of the old days,the first volume of the selected series of Children's Literature ,has the characteristic of collectivity. The collective space replaces the function of families,abolishes the meaning of the natural space and negate the nature of child. Brimming with the core social value such as masculinity,goodness,beauty,and the free will of main body,the space in Flourishing flowers in Flourishing Times,construct a grand spirit home for the era. Then ,the exterior world such as the dull schools ,the insidious society and the shattered families in The Scenery on the Road,are so oppressing that it can not contain the significance of Initiation any longer. His or her mind,his or her own home,and the virtual space are built as a spirit home for an insignificant individual.In the second chapter, the transformation of the narration of Initiation is reseached form a mainbody's point of view. It is discussed that how the characters are named ,in what way the dramatis personas are grow-up,and whether the grow-up is accomplished . In Fragrance of the old days,the characters are named as a someone with no individuation or the plural us,who is/are forged into a communal mainbody through the way of discipline and the impelled power. Then, in Flourishing Flowers in the Flourishing Times,the name of the character mean that its owner is the especial one, who,seeking the core social value and his own will,grows up into a main body who impersonates the spirit of nobleness. Then,in The Scenery on the Road,the characters are names as "the only one",who grow on their own way and are in possession of the right of making their own choices.
