The present paper is intended to analyse the body-narratives in the contemporary Chinese literature under the viewpoint of subjectivist-body-esthetics. The basic ideas of subjectivist-body-esthetics are: man is body, body is subject, aesthetic activities is the praxis of the body-subject. From the viewpoint of subjectivist-body-esthetics, the main weakness of body narratives in the contemporary Chinese literature is that it merely presents the objectivity of body. In 1949-1976's, the grand revolutionary narratives defines the body as the tools which must servers for the ultimate goal of communism project. After 1976, the reforming and opening-up policy makes a Comparatively free atmosphere in which writers are allowed to show the beauty and desires of body. Some writers, such as Chang Xian Kiang, began to regard the body as the self-decisive subject. But the body narratives after 1990's does not develop this clues. From 1990's, Chinese body narratives differentiates itself into two trends: (1)highlights the spiritual subjectivity, insists that the body is only the impermanent house of the soul-subject; (2)reduces the body to the corporal being without head, displays the desire of the body unilaterally. Both of them deny the subjectivity of body and does't reveal the status ,meaning, dignity of body-subject. So, the authentic subjectivist-body- narratives is still unborn in China.

要克服上述贬抑身体的立场，我们就必须承认身体的主体性，展示作为主体的身体。身体是自我设计的主体，灵魂不过是人对身体自我设计活动的不恰当命名。是身体修建了长城，开拓了运河，发明了汉语，创造出古往今来的生活，因此，身体绝非仅仅是欲望的代名词，更是建设者、思考者、承载者、关爱者。身体是文学的创造者和接受者，任何文学都是身体的文学，写作永远是身体的事业。身体在创造出实在世界的同时也创造出语言和意象的世界。文学回到身体就是回到自己的来处、本源、创造者，就是回到自立的主体。身体是主体，是内蕴着感性和理性、欲望和远大理想、细小的计划和宏大蓝图的总体，是自我设计着的目的性存在。中国文学中的身体叙事尚未发现这个真理，还没有充分展示身体作为主体的尊严。这说明真正的身体叙事在中国还有待诞生。
