The application of Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy of“fabulation”in literary fiction emphasizes the aesthetic power of“narration”(storytelling) to provoke“becoming”and transformative forces. Based on this perspective, this article analyzes Yan Lianke’s novel The Annals of Liaozhai (liaozahi benji), focusing on the characteristics and implications of Yan's Peach Blossom Spring narrative. Using Deleuze’s philosophy of“fabulation,”it examines the novel’s subverted ceremonial order and surreal spatiotemporal logic, exploring the connotations of its rewritten and reimagined storytelling. The study argues that Yan Lianke’s Peach Blossom Spring narrative in The Annals of Liaozhai is deeply rooted in reflections on“origins”and the primordial. Meanwhile, the Land of Joy (huanle guo) of Peach Blossom Spring, as depicted in the text, opens up a“third time”between history and non-history through its unique spatiotemporal logic and ceremonial order, transcending yet also relying on reality and history. Furthermore, in this utopia, the possibility of multiplicity and connection among all entities emerges, forming a Deleuzian“plane of consistency,”thus showcasing Yan Lianke’s endeavor to write“unreal reality.” |
