Whether the ancient Chinese novel originates from the historio-biographical literature hasn't yet been decided by Chinese scholars. Ancient Chinese novel is generally thought to have its origin in the myths and legends of ancient times, in the fable of the pre-Qin(秦) dynasty and the fiction of the Han(漢) Wei(魏) and the six dynasties (the latter recording strange events and events about special people). But this view neglects the position in history and the effect on the later novels the historio-biography literature had. From ancient times all the way to pre-Qin times, the concept of novel didn't exist yet, and the fiction with unique literary from didn't come into being yet. The myths, legends, fables and historio-biography literature produced at that time are probably the earliest narrative literature in China. Although they don't have a complete fictional form, they prepared for the later novels concerning thoughts, subjects and linguistic expression. In recent years, the treatise which discuss the relationship between the historio-biography literature and ancient Chinese novel generally discuss the subject from the angle of Shi-ji(史記)'s art style. It is no doubt that the origin and thriving of the ancient Chinese system of annual records is due to Sima Qian(司馬遷) and his Shi-ji, but the narrative structure and some methods of creating characters originated from the historio-biography literature in pre-Qin times. At that time, there was no distinction between history and fiction, so historians always used the literary methods to record history. Today, from the literary point of view, we call these historical books the historio-biography literature. China has an age-old historical trodition in science, in this trodition, because of possessing both characteristics of history as well as literature, pre-Qin's historio-biography literature not only opened up a wide subject field for the development of ancient Chinese novels, but also provided a good narrative model for later authors of novel because it recorded in the true detail the historical events, circumstances and characters. Especially Yi-zhou-shu(逸周書), Zuo-zhuan(左傳), Guo-yu(國語), Zhan-guo-ce(戰國策) accumulated abundant and creative experiences in many aspects such as creative method, subject choice, form system, narrative art, portraying characters, describing circumstances, aesthetic standards etc, and also deeply influenced the forming and developing of later novels.
