｢The Beginning of Deer Dance｣has two narrative levels: extradiegetic level and intradiegetic level . Starting with the question of why this narrative levels are adopted, this paper clarifies the narrative levels and the narrative invasions, and the common characteristics of narrative structure and content. This work unfolds in the order of extradiegetic level, intradiegetic level, extradiegetic level. However, the beginning “At that time” and the ending “after that” respond, and the common indicator “that” indicates when Kaju started walking westward. The ending event of extradiegetic level forms a circular structure that leads to opening event of extradiegetic level. Therefore, the time of this work goes from intradiegetic level to extradiegetic level(the ending), to extradiegetic level(the beginning) and the opening narrative of “I” is narrative of “I” when all the deer dancing experiences are over. In the intradiegetic level, Kaju’s assimilation into the spirit of deer dancing was brought about by verbal crossing of the border, but it ended without resonance. However, as the character in intradiegetic level crosses the border to the character in the extradiegetic level, the main character, Kaju, or “I” realizes that the spirit of deer dancing has been answered and resonated with Mother Nature. In this work, the theme of cross-border is used in both content and narrative structure and the last cross-border by the wind symbolize the resonance between nature and humans.
