Abstract: YuLiHun and XueHongLeiShi are the representatives of the School of Mandarin Duck-and-Butterfly novels in the early times of Republic of China.Both of them are featured with the narrative form—citing poems into text.This narrative form continued developing in the evolution from the Legend of Ming Dynasty as an attachment in text, the scholar-beauty novels of early Qing Dynasty as a medium, to the novels of YuLiHun and XueHongLeiShi, in which poems began to assume the function of conveying emotional experience in the novels.This narrative form derived from the ancient literary tradition, and fit for the emotion expressing of the scholar-beauty's status in the Confucianism.Xu Zhenya played his form in perfection.But it has constantly been criticized by New Literature writers later, which brings re-examination of original assessment criteria into consideration.
