Abstract：Behavior space is the core object of behavioral geography. Study of microscopic space of individual's behaviors has become an important content for micro space research of human geography. Human spatial behavior purposes that any human spatial behavior is a conscious choice. The current behavioral geography methods of study behavior space mainly focus on the urban inner space, migration space, living space, community space, and consumer behavior. There is no interpretation and study of behavior of core characters in typically novels in terms of geography yet. Any narrative works are necessarily involves a certain period of time and a specific one (or several) specific space. However, things go different to another narrative which is fiction. The space in fiction is not the specific object or place on the basis of experience in our daily life but an abstract space, perceived space, illusion space in the text. It is the textual representation space based on the real behavior space. This paper is based on the characters and figures in The Story of the Stone, and tries to introduce the research methods of behavioral geography into the text field of literature research. It comes to conclusions as follows (1) it is feasible to analyze characters in terms of behavior space; (2) according to spatial analysis, space can be divided into several pieces for different characters, which provide a better way to understand the meaning of space in Da Guan-yuan; (3) depiction of behavior in the space node highlights characters more directly; (4) it helps to appreciate the theme of novel more rationally. However, there is still much to improve for the paper, for instance, no common spatial patterns for characters in one dimensional time are shown, neither are behavioral path in detail. At the same time, it is the way to the statistics that takes a leaf from human geography's book into literature without regarding to textual research. The existence of Da Guan-yuan should be regarded as a behavior space of characters in the text for figures are the subject of the Da Guan-yuan.The space in novel is a text representation of space which based on the real behavior space. The geographical study of text behavior from core characters in typically novels can be a brand new page of behavioral geography.
