Abstract：In recent years, there have been a lot of heated debates as to when prose theory was established in ancient China. Some believe prose theory was established in Song Dynasty, others think it was established in Sui and Tang Dynasties, and still others hold it was established in the Southern Dynasties. Debates on this issue, in essence, relates to the realization of the fundamental functions of prose writing in ancient China, and ways of organizing proses. “Badaiwen” from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Southern Dynasties can be generalized as “poeticized proses”. Comparing them with proses of Tang and Song Dynasties in functions and organization, we can find the classical prose movement made proses have two functions of narration and argumentation. Therefore, it was in Song Dynasty that Chinese prose theory was finally established as a discipline.
