Abstract
The main concern of this paper is to explore the writing strategy of
Dongjin menghua lu, along with the authors subconscious behind the text.
Firstly, the journey of the authors memory began with the sensations.
Through out the reminiscence of the lost city, Meng Yuanlao could
probably recover from the sorrow of the fall of Northern Sung. Therefore,
the Dongjin of the book is not that real city, but the authors dreamed
garden. Secondly, Yuanlao wrote his remembrance and his forgetfulness
at the same time, for the narrator was not I but the public, the
citizens, by which Yuanlao chose to neglect himself and his self-trauma,
too. Thirdly, the named individuals mentioned in the book are the men of
skills and arts; that is, the tradesmen and the actors. Yuanlao would like to
emphasize the values of the secular, practice, and sensation, so these
various actors and playgrounds were indeed the metaphor of life is a play/
the world is a theater.

Keywords: Dongjin menghua lu, Meng Yuanlao, food, sensation,

remembrance, memory, play
