Abstract: The two local novels,Golden Wings and Cocoon,written by famous Chinese sociologists Lin Yaohua and Fei Xiaotong respectively in their youth based on the experience and facts of their hometowns,opened a new chapter of literature ethnography in Chinese social anthropology and solved the long-term problem of expression for anthropologist scholars.The literary ethnography created by Lin Yaohua and Fei Xiaotong belongs to a realistic novel narrative method that mirrors social facts.Based on real experience,the text narrates people and things,and exquisitely describes artistic reality through living people and progressing things,thereby widely penetrating "theory" into people's daily life.This narrative paradigm has two basic elements.The first is the life prototype in the sense of typology.The characters and stories described in literary ethnographic texts must be able to roughly connect with the real and plural life archetypes.It requires writers to adhere to the facts as much as possible from fieldwork to the text writing process to ensure the authenticity of the historical past.The second is the literary reproduction based on social facts.The characters of literary ethnography must live in the story.The plots and stories are completely laid out by the narrative of the living people,thus the serious academic theory is transformed into sequential events,delicately embedded in the living people and things,making it understood according to the characters that occur and develop in the stories.This narrative paradigm has truly created the localized development of Chinese sociology and substantively promoted the writing of "other" in world anthropology.

Key words: literary ethnography, life prototype, local narrative, Fei Xiaotong, Lin Yaohua, Cocoon, Golden Wings
