Abstract

In the novel of Yesou Puyan,the description of Wen Su-chen's life experience,gift,and name is almost same as Confucius,which is the basis of the idea of Su-chen playing Confucius' role.This idea can be interpreted from the following three aspects.First,even though it cannot be denied that this image is inevitably the author himself and his imagination,it is the story about Confucius and his ideas in general.Second,this novel just intends to change the original evaluation of Confucius' experience of inability to carry out his ideas.In other words,this novel is just the imagination of Confucius' managing the society,which is the result of the then declining society and the spread of Confucian school's idealist philosophy.Third,since the Qin and Han Dynasties,Confucius' image has been described in the novels from time to time.But this novel is unique since it just takes Confucius as the only focus to describe.
