Abstract: The narrative method "from abstract to concrete" and the research method "from concrete to abstract" constitute basic methodology in Das Kapital,which has been well-demonstrated in the section "Value Form". As for the narrative method,it abides by the principle of identity between(abstract)form structure and (material)content world and the principle of their synchronous development and complete parallelism so that form is an end of material pursuit. Such a narrative method has become a popular research method in today's study of Marxist philosophy. This is a misuse of the methodology of Das Kapital. The research method requires to study the "established subject",which is embodied in Marx's criticism of the economic structure of capitalist society as the content. Only by reflecting on this misuse can we effectively promote the construction of the concept of emancipation.

Key words: value form, methodology, form of civilization
