In Chinese literature, the position of novels has been extremely low, and especially novels in colloquial style had not been valued as of literary worth till the Literary Revolution in 1917. Studies in this field, therefore, have been far behind other studies in Chinese literature. In the present thesis, the author tries to marke a historical inquiry into the origin, maincurrent, and development of the Chinese novels in colloquial style, especially those of Short Stories. As their origin, the author has traced them back to the Buddhist tales, called Pien Wen that flourished in the middle period of Tang. He has alst examined how, as the class of common people expanded in the Sung period, they had come to be narrated in the town music halls instead of remaining Buddihist tales toled in temples. Varoious records and documents have been referred to in making clear how these narratives stood in the Sung period. Records and documents by the narratorors in this period were the models of the colloquial Short Stories and these have thenceforward developed into printed books. They were first before audiences and their development has been closely connected with the common mass of peoples. The author has examined their development from the viewpoints of form and substance and distinguished some of their characteristics. In conclusion the author added an explation how theses Short Stories are critically taken into the recent so-called people's literature.
