180 From Rough Overview to Subtle Narrative : Narrational Differences in Two Stories Appearing in both Zhiguai and Chuanqi Texts Kang, Yun-mei * Abstract This paper will attempt to flesh out the view, now considered authoritative, put forth by Lu Xun that the transition from zhiguai stories of the Six Dynasties to chaunqi of the Tang dynasty can be characterized one from rough overview to subtle narrative. By borrowing the concepts of story and narrative from narratology, two stories that appear in both formats are analyzed in order to demonstrate how the narration change from one format to another. Specifically, in terms of the stories organization and how they are narrated, we can see from the fact that the chuanqi versions develop more complex mechanisms than those appearing in the zhiguai versions that chaunqi expands on and surpasses the framework of zhiguai. Our look at the change in narration between these two formats brings out the realistic narrative characteristic of zhiguai on the one hand and the overlaying of fictional elements thereon in chaunqion on the other,as well as the weaker foundation (vis-à-vis chuanqi texts) for constructing meaning in zhiguai texts. We will also see that while zhiguai texts focus on presenting a collective and widespread cultural prejudice, chuanqi texts are usually a vehicle for authors own expression of their individual points of view. These three elements, i.e., the nature of the texts, construction of meaning within the texts, and authorial intention, all go to * Associate Professor, Department of Chinese Literature, National Taiwan University.
