Family novel has been a very important mainstream since from Chinese modern literature, the thesis aims to inspect new period family novels under the background of the long20th literature century. Traditional family novels reflect the times by one or more big families. The time of the story is the contemporary social reality of the writer. The theme of the times and the mutual metaphor is the expression of the Grand National Fable. However, because of the change of cultural society, change of writers’view of history and the new literature concept, writers are able to write their different understandings of the history. New period family novels go further on the road of the mutual metaphor between family and nation. Large part of them continue the reflection of national history and national destiny, even the special context of the binary opposition between the two narrative patterns. But the inheritance is a form view of whole history. Overall, the new period family novels reflect history on behalf of the folk history. Reflection and questioning attitude hidden between the lines, there has a strong feeling of personal emotion. Pioneer writers are mainly focus on the individual survival state inside of the family, reflect a kind of broken quality.
