Chapter 54 The Nine Functions of Detail Description

The scope of details is very wide and has many functions. However, it mainly depicts the character and shapes the character image. Some details can reflect the person's ideological quality and express the richness of the character; some details can set the tone for the character; some details are a fluorescent screen that shows the character's personality, making the character image full of three-dimensionality.

Detailed description is an important method to portray the character of the character; an important means to set off the character's heart; an important method to promote the development of the plot and deepen the theme; it also plays an important role in depicting a typical environment.

Detailed descriptions are conducive to the development of the plot, the shaping of characters, and the expression of themes; thus better reflecting the essential characteristics and personal characteristics of things, and enhancing the artistic appeal of the works.

Specifically, the role of detailed description has the following nine aspects:

First, show the character.

For example, a life detail in "The Man in the Condom" reflects Berikov's personality traits: "I always want to wrap it in the Condom to isolate the world without being influenced by the outside world."

For example: In "Kong Yiyi", Kong Yiyi's "only" long gown is dirty and torn, with a "smoky beard" on his face often with "scars". (This detail shows Kong Yiyi's lazy personality.)

Second, promote the development of the plot.

For example, in "Lily", the little correspondent, "I" used the quilt to "expose a young wife" to promote the development of the plot, which can be called a "springboard" detail.

Third, reveal the subject of the article.

In "Lily", "White Lily sprinkled on the quilt" appears repeatedly four times, and the ending is with this detailed question.

For example, in "Kong Yiyi", in this novel of about 4,000 words, there is a board (the note card____ "memorandum" appears three times, which is used in detail. The purpose is: a thin board that illuminates Kong Yiyi's deformed soul; a color board that reflects the deformed society.

Fourth, create a typical environment by rendering the atmosphere.

At the beginning of "Lily", the description of autumn crops shows the atmosphere before the battle, creating a typical environment for the people to engage in activities.

For example: The description of this quiet night at the beginning of "Medicine" creates a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

Fifth, it marks the characteristics of the times.

In Lu Xun's "Medicine", the clothes worn by soldiers show that this is a story that happened in the late Qing Dynasty.

Sixth, cleverly show the characters' psychology.

For example, in "Lily", the new wife repairs the details of the ripped holes in the clothes for the young correspondent.

Seventh, it runs through the whole text and becomes the link for plot development.

In "Lily", there are several details that express the characters' thoughts and feelings and distinct personalities from different aspects.

Eighth, some details do not reflect the essential characteristics of life, but add a sense of life to the article and express emotions or local characteristics.

For example, in "Society Drama", the details of the inserted Arhat Beans.

Nine is to show the spiritual world.

For example, in "Medicine", Lao Shuan "suddenly sits up" at dawn. This action details deeply reveal Lao Shuan's inner world. The word "suddenly" expresses the rapid and unexpected movement.
