In what aspects is the authenticity of the art of fiction reflected?

The authenticity of the novel art is reflected as follows:

1. Strengthen the psychological description of the characters. Rather than looking at the character's heart and emotions from a God's perspective, like a photographer, he calmly captures the details of the character and uses graphic details to present the character's heart and externalize his or her inner world. The artistic reality brought by these insightful captures completely transcends the one-sided reality of the "psychological microphone" from God's perspective.

2. Strengthen the description of the characters’ senses. For example, in the description of dreams. The boundaries between sleep and wakefulness are blurred. This kind of real-like and illusory experience not only makes readers scratch their heads, but also brings readers a kind of magic that "art is higher than reality". The description through the senses can arouse more excitement.

The foundation of the novel:

The foundation of the novel has gone through more than 800 years of accumulation and precipitation in the pre-Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The novel was formally formed when history entered the Tang Dynasty. Tracing back to the foundation laid over 800 years ago, there are mainly four aspects:

The first is fables. Books such as "Mencius", "Zhuangzi", "Han Feizi", and "Warring States Policy" contain many fables with distinctive characters, which already have the meaning of novels.

The second is historical biography. For example, "Zuo Zhuan", "Warring States Policy", "Historical Records", and "Three Kingdoms" describe characters' personalities and narrate storylines, which may provide materials for novels or accumulate narrative experience for novels.

The third is the literati’s notes. This is especially obvious during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, when literati's notes mostly recorded anecdotes, anecdotes, and materials.

The fourth is folk entertainment and leisure. Each dynasty had resident speakers and storytellers in teahouses and restaurants. Based on the storybook, they would tell a short story (novel) every day to attract guests to come back and listen to the book every day, hoping to ensure a prosperous business.
