This study is an attempt to demonstrate the application of the Milman Parry-Albert B. Lord theory of oral literature to Chinese vernacular stories published between 1321 and 1627. In addition to examining the Formula Technique of Oral Composition and Thematic Composition in these stories, a third and relatively new area, Story Pattern, is investigated. Certain vernacular stories can be found that contain a story pattern consisting of similar themes. In the stories examined here, the themes of Ch'ing-ming Festival (or Spring), Wine-drinking, Otherworld Journey, and Return combine to form a story pattern
