Yan Geling’s A Woman’s Epic is different from traditional literature in describing this history.Instead,it chooses a new perspective to reinterpret the big history in the text.To pay attention to the individual’s emotions,survival dilemmas and human development in history,to weaken the mainstream historical discourse writing.Re-examine history with mature and flexible writing skills,understating the life-oriented tendency.This is a kind of subversion and reconstruction of mainstream history,and it also reflects the high degree of fit between its creative approach and textual intent and new historicist theory.New Historicism was born in the Anglo-American cultural circles of the 1980 s and was once a popular means of literary criticism.The theory opposes the "historical theory" of old historical criticism,affirms the inter-discrimination of history in the text,and focuses on the faults of history,aiming to reveal the parts of history that were buried under the suppression of power.This article starts from the new historicalist criticism method to meticulously interpret the text.The introduction part mainly discusses the relationship between literature and history and politics in the new historicalism.Clarify the textuality of history,the historical nature of the text,and the characteristics of the relationship between literature and political economy,and then observe the text,explaining the rationality of the text and its related path from a theoretical perspective.The body part is divided into three chapters,which mainly describe the logic from the individual to the family to the whole society.From the perspective of the new historicalism,the three aspects of personal emotion,family ethics and social good and evil are interpreted in the text.How is it reflected in the text.Analyze how Yan Geling pays attention to the personal life experience in the big history by using the brushstrokes of the new historicism,subtly avoiding the shackles of mainstream political power,and thus achieving the historical appeals he wants to express.The purpose of this paper is mainly to use the new historicalism’s criticism method,not only to appreciate the rigorous new historicist writing techniques,but also to explain how the authors implant the great history into personal experiences.What’s more important is to understand the part of human nature and life that the author pays attention to.It is a major breakthrough in the writing of traditional history.It is also a more powerful explanation for history,and restores a real history of flesh and blood to the reader.
