Ci-fu writers and novelists in the Han and Wei Dynasties are good at observing and selecting "situations" to form intertextuality at the level of text creation. Their use of the question-answer form promotes "fictionality" and narrative development

while their "perfect finish touch" provides wise advice and expressive emotions

which is a common narrative form for Ci-fu and novels in the Han and Wei Dynasties. In terms of classical theme and story arrangement as well as the plot setting of biographical novels and mysteries

Ci-fu inspire novel imitations in later generations. In addition

the text of Ci-fu preserves novelistic encyclopedia

while the text of novels preserves the writing of original stories from Ci-fu. Similar in style and same in structure

they bring prosperity to the early Chinese literary texts with fictionality and exaggeration

and give an excellent example of "situational" elements in Chinese narrative literature.
