Abstract—Sanmao was formerly known as Chen Ping, a
contemporary Taiwanese female writer and traveler. Sanmao is
one of the few contemporary prose writers. Although many
scholars believe that her works have some novel elements, a
kind of work is accepted by readers with what kind of style, it
has a substantial impact on what kind of style, so Sanmao is
placed into the ranks of prose writers. For Sanmao, writing
constitutes her unique life form. Sanmao's literary creation
style has a very high literary research value, which is closely
related to her innate personality, as well as her understanding
of life itself and her unique literary interpretation skills. To be
precise, Sanmao does not have the serious creative mission of a
pure literary writer, nor will it deliberately pursue the social
effectiveness of her works. For her, innovation is neither the
great cause of the country, nor the masterpiece of the past
dynasties. This article explores Sanmao's literary creation style
through the three writing characteristics of writing freely,
“depending on benevolence, swim in art” and integration of “Inovel”
creation skills.
Index Terms—Sanmao, creative style, freely writing,
depending on benevolence, swim in art, I-novel.
