Nlevel coding is another research tool created by using quadruple evidence in mythology, which advances the theory of archetype criticism. In the progress of the study of Chinese literary “great tradition”, the researchers put forward the topic of Chinese “jade worship”.Through these concepts and topics, it can be seen that the research fellows of Chinese literary anthropology are doing their best for Chinese literature, in order to find the root of Chinese culture which had been lost for so long.
