Abstract:Since 1990s, the ecological environment of Chinese literature has undergone fundamental changes. The modern aesthetic system characteristic of psychoanalysis, form exploration, and discourse experiment has been challenged by the post-modern aesthetic system of visualization, entertainment focus and daily themes. Historical novels have been experiencing omnidirectional transformation: they have shifted from unitary-style writing to cross-style creation in narration, from historical ideology to mundane life in themes, from historical analysis to history entertainment in narrative approaches, and from form exploration to technique dilution. The overall transformation is manifested by de-historization, de-ideology, de-technique and cross-style creation.
