| Research Abstract |
By researching the narrative technique of Ming vernacular novel Jin Ping Mei, I attempted to position this novel in the history of the Chinese novel as well as to analyse the author' s compositional approach and expressive intention. Concretely speaking, first, I researched the structure of Chapter 39 and proved that this chapter is, in numerous aspects, constructed in such a way that the first and second halves contrast with and reflect each other. Second, I researched the commentary on the technique of Jin Ping Mei by Qing critic Zhang Zhu-po and analysed the characteristics of his commentary. In addition, I wrote a brief history of modern research on the same theme. These accomplishments are published in the form of an article on academic bulletin, two presentations at conferences, and my doctoral dissertation.
