Reflections of popular interest and ways of creation in culture market have made Dingli a contemporary popular literature producer, consciously or unconsciously."Dingli Phenomenon"is a quite successful paradigm of elite intellectuals adapting themselves to culture market, reflecting the ups and downs of artistic creation while being filtered and challenged by popular culture. Influenced by the commercial atmosphere, Dingli's success results from a combination of multiple factors. This thesis, from the aspects of Dingli's literary view, Dingli's fiction's artistic features and aesthetic values, attempts to make an exploration of the reasons for Dingli's success, make respective comments on Dingli and his fiction, and make an analysis of their influence on the contemporary financial novels.This thesis is composed of six chapters.The first chapter, Introduction, gives a brief account of commercial fiction, Dingli's literary creation and comments and studies of newspapers and magazines and other media on Dingli's fiction, and then make a brief analysis of the reasons for commercial novels'thriving in the context of contemporary popular culture.The second chapter mainly discusses Dingli's commercial literary view.

Judging from Dingli's commercial novels, there exists a problem in contemporary financial novel creation, practicality is more stressed than literariness. Specifically, there are three causes. First, the author's deficiency of literary skills, the system of freelance writer and commercialized operation ways has weakened financial novels'literariness. Second, blind pursuit of realness and absorption of experience have made it difficult for financial novels to lift their thoughtfulness and literariness. Third, the reader's utility and practicality purposes go stronger, reading orientation goes astray to entertainment and recreation and the critic's indifference have also influences the elevation of the comprehensive creation level of financial novels.The sixth chapter is conclusion. Practicality, typicality, being close to real life and taking care of human nature are popular creative model of Dingli's novels. Business circles, characters, stories and professional terms are the basic elements of Dingli's novels. Dingli strives to break through formularization and make an exploration of personal narration, which is expected to become more and more mature. With increasing extension and expansion of economic marketization and globalization, social stratification and cultural diversification have become the most prominent features of the present age. And commercial culture and commercial literature are in a dialectic relation of contradiction and conflict as well as interaction and integration.
