Abstract The inheritance of classical literature in modern Chinese literature has become an important topic in recent years. The modern Chinese literary revolution did not cut off its internal connection with classical literature. Some works of artistic value are precisely the rewriting of ancient tales or classical texts， showing unique and powerful innovative significance. The two works， Casting Sword and Shi Xiu， describe the act of avenging friends， or righteous deeds for sworn brothers. This relationship and the acts can be examined with Derrida's “Politics of Friendship”， under the reflection of which， we may be able to see the relationship between modern Chinese literature and ancient tradition from a special perspective. It can also be used to examine the innovative modern Chinese writers' way of “creative transformation” of tradition.
