Literary description skills of sketching characters

Character sketch is one of the description techniques in literary creation. It is also a traditional description technique deeply loved by the masses in China literature. Outline the mental outlook of the characters with the most concise and economical words. Writers are required to accurately grasp the most important personality characteristics of the characters, not to exaggerate or elaborate, but to touch and portray vivid images with vivid pens, and Lu Xun's novels are typical line drawing works. Mr. Lu Xun once said: "There is no secret in painting." If you want to say yes, it's just the opposite of the smoke screen method: if you have real meaning, whitewash it, don't be so melodramatic and don't show off. "(The Secret of Composition) Lu Xun deserves to be a master of sketching, and his works are also worthy of being masterpieces of sketching. He said in the article "How do I start a novel": "I try to avoid nagging about writing. As long as I feel that it is enough to convey my meaning to others, I would rather have no foil. In China's old plays, there is no background. There are only a few main characters on the flower paper sold to children in the Spring Festival (but now there are many backgrounds in the flower paper). I firmly believe that this method suits my purpose, so I don't describe romance, and I never talk about big articles in conversation. "This is his experience in successfully using line drawing techniques in novel creation.

China's freehand figure painting is a vivid application and organic combination of simple line drawing as a modeling method, which expresses the texture, volume, dynamics and sense of space of the body with thickness, length, straightness, Fiona Fang, priority, density of reality and reality, softness of ups and downs, and shades of dry and wet, which is different from the western methods of expressing objects with color and light and dark. This method is called "drawing lines". Both meticulous figure painting and freehand figure painting are composed of lines. Therefore, the figure painting with simple lines can not only exist independently, but also be the basis of China's figure painting. On a Line in Lu Xun's Short Story Kong Yiji;

Kong Yiji was the only one standing drinking and wearing a gown. Although it is a simple sentence, its connotation is extremely rich. It shows Kong Yiji's identity, social status and personality. Drinking standing, it's the jacket gang. They live in poverty, and Kong Yiji, who lives in poverty, has to associate with them and can't squeeze into the gown guest's room. However, he refused to take off his gown, and wanted to remain a scholar to show that he was mentally better than the short coat gang, which showed his pedantry and vanity. The irreconcilable contradiction between Kong Yiji's poor economic situation and pedantic spiritual life makes him the only special person in Xianheng Hotel who can't go to heaven and land. When the unknown soldier handed seven matches to Lu Jinyong:

"Comrade, look ... that comrade waved to Lu Jinyong and approached. He stretched out a stiff finger and carefully fingered the matches one by one, whispering: one, two, three, four ..."

There is also a paragraph where Lu Jinyong chased the troops and handed the matches to the instructor:

"Lu Jinyong quietly walked behind the instructor. Reflecting the flashing lights, he opened the party card with trembling fingers, handed the remaining six matches to the instructor one by one, and counted them in a strange tone:

One, two, three, four ... "

In the two paragraphs, through two "one, two, three, four ...", we can expand rich associations and truly feel the lofty inner world of soldiers. After reading the first song "One, Two, Three, Four ...", we seem to see that when the unknown soldier wanted to give Lu Jinyong the matches he protected with his life, he could not restrain his excitement and said to himself: I have seven matches. Look! Name one. When the wound hurts on the count of two, the voice is very low and short. At three o'clock, he struggled in pain and saved all the strength of his life. He took a deep breath as much as possible and squeezed out three or four from low to high. When it came to four o'clock, his voice was firm and his eyes were firm. He seems to see that around the fire, the soldiers are saving their strength; In the rain of bullets, the soldiers charged to kill the enemy ... four words later, he smiled and looked serene. The second "one, two, three, four ..." is what Lu Jinyong said when he chased the troops to complete the entrustment of the unknown soldier and handed the matches to the organization. Said that his mood was sacred and solemn for a while. After chatting for two hours, he remembered the scene where the unknown soldier died on the grass. His eyes were full of tears and his voice trembled. On the count of three, Lu Jinyong's tone was full of ease and comfort in completing the task. At four o'clock, thinking of the great cause of the Red Army going north to resist Japan, this match will ignite a vigorous anti-Japanese bonfire, with high tone and forge ahead. I believe that anyone who has read this article will never forget these simple words "one, two, three, four ..."
