Written by Ge Liang, Paper Hawk not only vividly represents the history of modern China, but also tells a “cultural story,” that is, how to maintain the active nature of national culture, and dialectically treat and integrate different cultures in the era of alternating old and new cultures. Focusing on the two levels of historical writing and culture-speaking, and relying on the macro- and micro-dimensions, externally and internally, this article analyzes Paper Hawk which is written from the view of the historical dialectics from the families and the country realms. It also covers the individual and the era, the cultural dialectics between China and the western countries, and the new and old cultures; it processes a profound discussion on the historical and cultural issues which have always been most important ones either in the past or in the present. In addition, it also reveals the current cultural position and modernity through the process of intervening in history and returning to tradition. Moreover, combined with Ge Liang's life, creation, cultural ideas and other factors, the article further reveals the internal relationships of his novel Paper Hawk throughout the creation.
