Abstract: The paper elaborates on Yishan’s sevencharacter quatrains in narrative perspective in terms of time and space relations, narrative behavior, narrative style, poetic context, syntax and grammar, aiming at artistic evaluation. In Yishan’s sevencharacter quatrains, the narrative time and space features the intertwining of remoteness and closeness, the reflection of emptiness and concreteness, the contention of reality and imagination; The narrative style is characterized with subtleness, implicitness and intricacy; The narrative techniques include entangling plots, gradual mapping of structures and extricate suspense. All of this makes Yishan’s quatrains rich in contents and ideas with logic and deep feelings at extremely short length. By applying narrative analysis to Yishan’s quatrains which are praised as “flowing treasures with silk netlike constructions”, we can not only understand their poetic context, but also grasp the subtleness and development of poetic heart and poetic connotations. The introduction of narrative analysis of Chinese classical poetry is conducive to the return of its research to original literature studies and possibly in an indepth manner.
