The Fable of September is a turning point in Zhang Wei's literary creation process. This turning point is not only his successful practice towards the"people",but also opens the door to the spiritual plateau. Zhang Wei's"folk"turn in The Fable of September is mainly manifested in three aspects:narrative style,narrative standpoint and narrative language. The reasons for the turn can be summarized as the nourishment of the writer's childhood life,the adherence to the poetic character and the influence of the market economic system reform on the central position of intellectuals in the 1990s. On the one hand,the"folk"turn of Zhang Wei's creation provides a certain reference significance for the development of the contemporary Chinese literature,and on the other hand,his atti-tude towards modernity also leaves us more space to think about.
