The Structure Origin of Tales of Three Dreams in the Tang Dynasty and Its Rewritten History

The structure of Tales of Three Dreams is outstandingly characterized in the development history of short novels.This work,by means of a nuclear narration concept,joins three narrative fragments of non-meaningful relevance into an integrated structure model of space,which is rarely founded in the structure of early short novels.Its formation is of latent relationship with the cultural tradition,originated in the Heaven and Man in one concept.It transplants the style of classifying ancient works.It also has much to do with the fundamental model of Rhapsody since the Pre-Qin days.The later novels in the Tang and Song Dynasty has slightly inherited and changed this model.
