(2) Language
Gorky said: "The first element of literature is language." Literature itself is the art of language, which shapes images and reflects life. Literary language originally includes character language and narrator language. What I am talking about here is the language description method of characters. Character language includes monologues and dialogues. Monologue refers to the monologue of a character, and dialogue is a mutual dialogue between two or more people.
Character language is an important means to shape characters' images. The ancients said that "words speak from the heart", which shows that language is a tool to express the thoughts and feelings of characters, a mirror to show their personality characteristics and a window to reveal their inner world. Excellent writers have always attached great importance to the description of characters' language, and often say "smell their voices and see their people", which is not only a praise for writers' ingenious methods of creating vivid characters. It is also the embodiment of the function and function of language description.
So, what are the common language description skills? 1, the words tick the outline.
2. Indirectly describe people's scenery
3, the same words are diverse.
4. Write the language by narrative method.
(3) Behavior description
The Water Margin, with its wonderful and tortuous story and vivid and typical characters, was praised by Jin Shengtan, a famous literary critic, as one of the "Six Talented Books" in China's literary history from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, alongside Historical Records and Li Sao. Without the charming description of "Rutiha" punching the town of Kansai, the whole novel would suddenly be eclipsed, and Liangshan heroes would no longer be heroes. It can be seen that behavior description plays a more special role than xiaoxiang, language and psychological description in portraying characters' personalities and shaping characters' images. Engels famously said, "A character is not only reflected in what he does, but also in how he does it." It shows that gestures are directly related to the character and image of the characters.
Here are some examples to talk about some skills of behavior description.
1. Describe the coherent movements of the characters in detail.
2. The action of the character is compared with the description.
Step 3 use close-ups
4. Use rhetorical devices such as metaphor.
5. Writing behavior in conflict.
6. Write on the edge.
(4) Psychology
People live in a society full of contradictions. People and things belong to themselves, and there are different kinds of emotions: joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and shock, and six desires of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind. All these psychological reactions dominate the characters' language and actions, and show their character spirit. Therefore, developing the spiritual continent of human beings and exploring the spiritual mysteries of characters have become the basic requirements of writing.
Detailed psychological description has many unique functions. It can express the face of the characters, such as "writing at night". Oblomov thought, "When does he go to bed?" ..... Write as much as you can, spend all your mind and spirit on trifles, change your beliefs, betray your wisdom and imagination, and hurt your nature ... Like a wheel, like a machine, write as much as you can, and write tomorrow and the day after tomorrow; The holiday is coming, and summer is coming-he still wants to write! When can he rest? "What a pity!" "By showing his thoughts, Goncharov painted us an image of a parasite who is idle, brooding and lazy every day. He finds it incredible and "unfortunate" to write an article at night. Psychological description can also reveal the spiritual changes of characters, depict their personality characteristics and reveal their status, explain the development trend of interpersonal relationships, reflect the essence of life and highlight the theme of works. For example, Mr. Lu Xun used psychological description to describe Ah Q's "spiritual victory method", which is a typical personality characteristic: obviously poor, but dreaming of "getting rich first" and "how much trouble my son will make" (in fact, it is unknown whether her mother-in-law will be born or not); He clearly gave birth to a shameful scar, but only said in his heart that he was "unworthy"; He was obviously beaten up by others, but he laughed at himself to ease the pain. "I was finally beaten by my son. Now the world is really disgraceful, and my son beat Lao Zi ... "Here are some examples to introduce some commonly used psychological description skills, hoping to be beneficial to people who study writing.
1, monologue show psychology
2. Imitate "stream of consciousness" to reveal psychology.
3. Reflect psychology through dreams and hallucinations
4. Let the environment set off the psychology
(5) Description of details
Excellent literary works are often unforgettable because of their unique and highly personalized details. What is a detailed description? Simply put, it is a detailed description of the plot full of personality characteristics. Although the details are small, they often leave a deep impression on people through literary works. People who have read The Scholars may remember the details of Yan Jiansheng's refusal to close his eyes before he died. He saw two lights burning in the room, which made him feel distressed and wasted oil. He can't let go and close his eyes. Only when his little wife walked over and picked a rush did the miser "nod and hang his head, and suddenly he died." The immortal charm of this artistic image cannot but be said to be due to such detailed description.
