The novel Shanghai Foxtrot mainly depicts various social symptoms of Shanghai night, and its author is Shiying Mu of the Neo-sensualists. The language of the novel is novel, vivid, unique and wonderful, showing strong variability. Based on Guangyi Feng’s theory of variant rhetoric, this paper analyzes the phenomenon of variant rhetoric in the novel and finds that the novel mainly employs the facsimile variation at the phonological level, the homogeneous conjugation, superlative grouping, domain variation and contradiction expression at the discourse level, and the collocational variation, sentence constituent variation, and simple linear variation at the grammatical level. These variant rhetoric techniques enhance the expressive power of the novel’s language and form a unique language beauty.
