This paper is based on Yan Geling's novel and combined with writer's personal life history and her creative experience, it is a research of "metaphor" in her novel version . In this paper, the research way is to read the novels carefully and than make the metaphors that are more important for classification and description of image, rather than factual. In that case,it is bound to research the writer's personal situation of the East-West cultural differences, as well as the status quo to be considered.Introduction is a brief introduction and summary of Yan Geling's creation, and there are some representative views for its evaluation when she was at home and abroad .
