Classical imageries are symbols which are heterogeneous to each other，the use of them，thus is restricted by certain context such as ages，surroundings and subjective conditions. However，the tendency of homogenization could be found in contemporary use of classical imageries in Chinese popular literature and art，deprived of any restrict of the spatio-temporal reality，i.e.，the context. Imageries have been made subordinate to the aesthetical expectation of the masses. Such situations could always be found in the works of contemporary popular literature and art，especially in ancient costume dramas. Consequently，a surfeit of similar imageries and the disjoint between form and content always appear in works. It is the aftermath of popular culture that market economy，ideology，living and mental conditions cause the homogenization together. Art，therefore，would seek transcendence to sublate itself，and the new higher level of it is expectable.
