Abstract

Today,when people in common are questioning the traditional historical conception,rewriting history is not only a strategy of constructing new historical view,but a requirement of modernity.Traditional historical novels and new historical novels reflect two trends of historical novel creation,one of which is the tendency of traditional deference to the history and the other of which is that of modern subversion of the history and that of emphasizing the literary fiction.In general,the present historical novel creation is a slantwise scale,namely,historical novel writers transcend the history,trying to find some kind of existent truthfulness in artistic fictions.
