Folk beliefs and motifs pervade Chinese classical fiction. The relationship between folk beliefs and motifs is as follows ： folk beliefs are the core of motifs, and motifs are the manifestations of folk beliefs. They both exert their influences upon the narrative in classical fiction ： as the important contents of fiction, motifs, which carry the contents of folk beliefs, influence the narrative contents in classical fiction, the actualized narrative patterns for the motif - derived non - actual material influence the narrative patterns in classical fiction, and the features of folk beliefs introduced from motifs influence the narrative techniques in classical fiction.
