Abstract
The interesting of biographical represented by Shen Congwen is a common character and aesthetic tendency in China's modern biographical narrative,especially in 1930s.Shen Congwen's style,which was disliked and denied by Ding Ling,is one of the most obvious modernity character in China's modern biographical literature,in that the interesting style narration is a horizontal narration.It does not regard the hero as the god,it does not regard the author as the emperor either,which will settle down the narrative conflict between the biographer and the hero,thus demonstrate better the complex life of the hero.Biographical poetics should make Sheng Congwen's justified in theory so as to promote China's modern biographical creation and further theoretical study.
