Abstract

The theme of Chinese TV drama about the period of Republic of China heavily relies on the division of time, and the narrative theme is indulged in rendering of love and the narrative technique is “short and flat”. That is easy to dilute the diversity of the themes of the Republic of China and cause the proliferation of homogeneous works. The Chinese present television drama Legend of Fragrance has jumped out of these limitations, taking “fragrance” as the narrative field, effectively combining multiple themes of the times, and relying on the selection of narrative time and the narrative network of multi-angle character relations, highlighting the paternal narration to avoid excessive love imbroglio. In a serious historical atmosphere, the quality of the work has been set. The creative technique of the play reflects the trend of multi-theme integration of the current drama on Republic of China theme, which has great enlightening significance to the exploration of the theme and narrative techniques of Chinese TV drama.
