- Abstract
Self-referential meta-fiction, which refers to a fiction that takes itself as narrative object, is the sub-concept of meta-fiction. "The Wall Painted with Odd Patterns" by Ma Yuan, an avant-garde writer, is one of meta-fiction. The self-referential characteristic of such fiction determines its narrative mode that mainly uses assertive words. On the basis of narrative theory, the paper attempts to discuss the inter-relationship among the author, narrator, role, commentator and reader and the hierarchy of the narrative text structure as well.
