Abstract: The images of China in Amy Tans novels have caught a lot of attentions of scholars from home and abroad. And the researchers study on these images can be sorted out from three main aspects, i.e. memory study, spatial criticism and storytelling, which have formed several distinct analysis fields with their own characteristics. However, the current research on the images of China in Amy Tans novels is prone to be the analysis of separate novel. Therefore, a comprehensive and synthetic interpretation is needed, which is essential for the further exploration of deep implication in the images of China in Amy Tans novels.

Key words: Amy Tan, the images of China, memory, space

摘要： 华裔作家谭恩美小说里的中国书写一直备受国内外学者的关注。研究者主要是从记忆研究、空间批评和故事叙述三个方面对谭恩美笔下的中国书写进行梳理与分析，逐渐形成较为清晰的研究方向。但现有的研究多单篇作品解读、少系统的综合研究，因而学者们仍可在广度和深度上拓展其对谭氏中国书写的关注，积极创新，以期给予谭恩美的小说创作较为全面、公允的评价。
