A Theoretical Survey for the Writing of the History of Chinese Narratives(Ⅱ)

It is hard to say 'what novel is', or 'what novel should be'. Because novel is not defined, but comes out by itself. In China, various types of effort went into to write a history of Chinese novel after Luxun wrote his book, The Brief History of Chinese Novel(中国小说史略). But actually, it is not so easy to present a birth of one genre and the process of developing clearly. The point is that many histories of Chinese novel have sticked to Luxun's. So we should break through the contemporary thoughts and cliches to develop a certain type of concept and extend its denotation. To do so, we need to understand the concept of novel not as 'being' but as 'becoming'. There only have ever been many types of 'paroles' in the history of Chinese novel, but there was no single langue which is implied in the name of narrative. Furthermore, these 'paroles' are made up of 'holarchy , which is emerged from self-guided synergy effect not of hierarchy which is generated from stata-classification. So far there has never been written a history of Chinese novel in Korean. This thesis can be an another attempt to write a new history of Chinese novel.
