Abstract: There is a contradiction and gap between the intention and the true feeling in creating Qi Yuan,which has made the works complicated and multi-meaningful.Its poly-character shows not only that the writer has been paying special attention to the Chinese traditional family nature and the close examination of the defects,but also that the writer’s thinking about the meaning of life under the war environment,thus displaying Ba Jin’s change in the way of feeling and in the values of literature after the Anti-Japanese War.
