Since1990s, Cao Wenxuan’s novels, especially these write for children, are getting more and more attention. They are certainly unnegligible. Cao is not only a writer, but also a literary critics, therefore, his works is distinctive. At present, the study to his works is mainly about the main themes, the characters, aesthetic styles and so on. In order to drawing a accurate conclsion, the interpretation to his works should be multilayer and multiangle. Now, we have made considerable achievements in narrative theory and texts interpretation. Nevertheless, narrative skill in Cao’s novels is notable but systematic study on it is still vulnerable.Almost all novel writers pay more attention to narratology. Nrratology is consisted of homo narrans, narrative situation, The temporal and spatial factor,and narrative rhetoric, etc. Through texts deconstruction, we can find writer’s stand point,visual angle and his distinguishing narrative feature.

He controled these homo narrans and made the texts to display the life style of himself. Sequentially, the novels present some features of autobiography. In his narrating, he usually use the third person, stand on a omniscient view point to overlooks the world of yau ma tei and talks the storys of himself.

His narrtive time is often standstill or slowing down, and he usually talks the storys via recalling and flashback. Time in his novel is stand of a kind of leisure, meanwhile, it is a approach to express his feeling. Hence, we can take it as a visual angle to interpret his texts.Narrative rhetoric, including narrative skills, narrative language, etc. Cao Wenxuan takes great emphasis on language.
