| Abstract : Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun |
| Li
Y u, a playwright in the early Qing Dynasty, proposed the signific ant
“structural theory” for the development of Chinese drama. This paper begins by
discussing the concept of structural organization in his vernacular novel Twelve Towers ,
exploring how Li Y u, prior to putting forth the “structure comes first” theory, used the
construction of “towers” as a narrative framework in the novel, to establish the spatial
and thematic significance for the characters and activities within the story. Applying
literature analysis of Twelve Towers as the research method, and supplement ing it with
Li Y u’s structural theory from Random Thoughts and Essays and his expertise in
incorporating garden art, the paper delves into the conceptualization and construction
process of the “tower” in Li Y u's novels. Li Y u emphasized the novelty of buil ding a
narrative like constructing a house, diverging from conventional themes of talent and
honour. His narrative strategy not only captivates readers by leveraging the allure of idle
literature but also subtly critiques societal norms, aligning with the prevailing taste for
light hearted reading over solemn arguments. While scholarly discussions often centre
on Li Yu's later work Random Thoughts and Essays , this paper uniquely starts with
Twelve Floors to illuminate Li Y u's evolving compositional philosop hy and narrative
techniques.
