摘　　要：Moment in Peking written by Chinese American writer Lin Yutang,follows the life of an extended upper-class Beijing family from the time of the Boxer uprising in 1900 to the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937.It is both a depiction of the daily life of a Chinese family,and a chronicle of the political and social changes sweeping China during that period.This novel takes Taoism as the philosophical backdrop,and the concept of“Life passes like a dream”as the theme,revealing the struggles and vicissitudes of Yao Mulan and her father Yao Sian.It is a unique way for Lin Yutang to interpret the Taoism and the Taoist way to follow the nature.
