Above of Chinese classical proses, ‘Zizhuan(Ancient Chinese autobiography)’ has different traits to the autography genre of Western literature. Among the many styles of Zizhuan, ‘Tuozhuan’ is the most remarkable subgenre. Tuozhuan's author uses him/herself as a raw material for narrative, but the author liken him/herself to another personality in their works. This article develops a comparison between Tao Yuan Ming's Wuliuxiansheng―zhuan and Ou Yang Xiu's Liuyijushi―zhuan, in order to determine these distinct features. Wuliuxiansheng―zhuan was the beginning of Tuozhuan genre and Liuyijushi―zhuan changed the rules of its genre. The characters of both works are commonly linkened to his pen name(also known as ‘nom de plume’). However there is a different between the two works on the types of ‘nom de plume’ and the shape of ego. The naming method in Wuliuxiansheng―zhuan reflects the spirit of the author who wants to develop his destiny, while the naming method in Liuyijushi―zhuan reflects the author's thinking to accept his reality. Also analyzing the ego―shape of Wuliuxiansheng―zhuan and Liuyijushi―zhuan, the former represents the ego of seclusion, the latter symbolizes the ego of expression. Through the comparative study, it appears that Wuliuxiansheng―zhuan is influenced by the disordered social situation of Wei-Jin dynasties. And the author's shape of Liuyijushi―zhuan was affected by the scholar ―gentry class of Song dynasty. The two Authors reflecr their speciality of writing and a social circumstance as theirs Tuozhuan.
