Abstract:

As the carrier of language, the literary style is not simply about genre but reflects more about the writer's personality, school or the works' era characteristics. The "style differentiation" of Tanci refers to the process during which Dialogue Tanci separates from Narrative Tanci in the two different workplaces of "booth" and "study" to become the main form of telling and singing as well as to lead the composing trend of Tanci. This process not only contains the genre change of Tanci but also shows a general picture of the author's creation style, the narrative mechanism of works, the performance market, the prevailing vogue, etc. In short, the style differentiation of Tanci in Qing Dynasty is an inevitable result from the continuous refinement of style with the maturity of overall culture.

Key words: Tanci in qing dynasty, style differentiation, Dialogue Tanci, maturity of culture
