A Discussion on the popular novels in the Tang and Five Dynasties

In light of distillation of the connotation of novel style rather than in light of its modern form, the concept the popular novel in the Tang and Five dynasties in stead of the storyteller text novel in the Tang dynasty should be used to denominate those unreal narrative works composed by popular language including popular tell sing language,which indicate the strong and dazzling beginning of our classic popular novel.This conclusion is based on both of their quantity and this fact they harbor rich,profound value in aesthetic and in history.They reflect contemporary society while not mentioning it.The poetic type, imagination, feeling which they possess can shine upon and contrast to literati romances.They are good at “ changing dead history into vivid dram” .In aspects of theme exploitation,figure setting,and portray skills of novel,they have also made substantial achievement.
