2026-01-27 21:23

There were many ways to describe the environment in the novel. The following are some common methods and examples: ** 1. Description Technique (Skill)** 1. ** Plain Drawing and Fine Drawing ** - ** Plain drawing (thick outline, prominent features)**: For example,"The distant mountains are like black flowers, and the morning fog is misty. The faint light passed through the layers of green leaves in front of him and scattered on the fluffy and soft soil, casting a halo. In the forest in the morning, everything is revived." Here, the general scene of the forest in the early morning was briefly outlined. The characteristics of the forest in the early morning were highlighted with simple expressions such as "the mountains are like dark mountains" and "the morning fog is misty." There were not too many details, but the readers could quickly feel the fresh atmosphere. - ** Fine Drawing (Exquisite carving, thick ink and heavy colors, also known as fine brush)**: It was like "On the roof tiles that looked like fish scales, there was a thin layer of mirage floating there like a light gauze." He described the mirage building on the roof tiles in detail as a fish scale-like roof tile with a light muslin floating on it. He described it in detail from the shape, texture, and many other aspects. 2. ** Combination of dynamic and static, combination of virtual and real, combination of front and side, combination of point and surface ** - "The wind is dragging the heavy dark clouds, and the mixed trees behind the house occasionally make a sharp whistling sound." There was a dynamic description of "wind dragging dark clouds" and a description of a relatively static object like the mixed forest whistling. The dynamic and static contrast enhanced the picture. - ** Combination of Reality and Reality **: In some novels, real scenes may be described, while the characters 'memories of the past or imagined scenes (virtual) are interwoven to enrich the level of the environment description. However, the reference material did not give a typical example. - ** Combination of Front and Side **: If you describe a magnificent castle, you can directly describe the tall and sturdy appearance of the castle (Front). At the same time, you can describe the awe of people looking up at the castle to set off the majesty of the castle (Side). This example is not reflected in the material alone. - [Description of war scenes: When describing war scenes, you can first write about the smoke of the entire battlefield and the sound of shouting and killing. Then, you can close-up the scene of a soldier fighting bravely or being injured and falling. There are no examples of this type in the material.] 3. ** Set off, set off, symbolize, etc. ** - "The noon sun is shining brightly, but the sky is a cold metallic white that cuts my eyes like a knife. It was late autumn, and a bird flew to the top of the mountain. The black bird flew to the top of the mountain in the daytime, and as if it had been scratched by a knife, it screamed and went over the mountain." Through the description of the cold and glaring weather and the cries of birds, it set off a desolate atmosphere. - ** Set off **: For example, describe a lonely person standing in a lively market. The lively market (environment) sets off the loneliness of the person. There are no typical examples in the material. - ** Symbol **: In some novels, a specific environment may symbolize the fate of a certain character or social phenomenon. For example, a dark and oppressive environment may symbolize the darkness of society and the ups and downs of the character's fate. There is no such example in the material. ** 2. Rhetoric Techniques ** 1. "That summer, the cicadas were noisier than any other year. The branches outside the classroom grew wildly, but they could not block the scorching sun." He compared the chirping of cicadas to a noisy sound, vividly describing the heat and noise of summer. 2. [Anthropomorphosis: A strong wind suddenly blew and heavy rain poured.] The curtain swelled like a sail, and before he could close the window, bean-sized raindrops hit the glass window, making a dull ping ping sound as if they were hammering his heart." Here,"the curtain suddenly bloated like a sail" personified the curtain, giving it the action of "bloating", making the description more vivid. 3. ** Alignment, exaggeration, contrast, etc. **: Although the reference material does not reflect too many typical examples of alignment, exaggeration, and contrast used in environmental descriptions, in the creation of novels, alignment can enhance the rhythm of environmental descriptions. For example,"The mountains here are so high, the water here is so clear, and the air here is so fresh"; Comparisons could highlight the changes in the environment, such as "the once prosperous town is now dilapidated, and the once lively streets are now deserted." ** 3. Description angle ** 1. ** Perception angle-vision, hearing, taste, smell, etc.(vivid and vivid)** - [Vision: After the White River flows downstream to Chenzhou and converges with the Yuan River, it is slightly turbid. It has the meaning of spring water coming out of the mountain.] If one were to go upstream, the thirty-five feet deep pool would be crystal clear. The deep pool is illuminated by the sun, and the small white stones and patterned agate stones at the bottom of the river can be seen clearly." By describing the muddy and clear river, as well as the appearance of the stones at the bottom of the river, the environment was presented from a visual perspective. - Hearing: "At night, the sky cleared up a little. The cold moon hung in the sky. The cold wind blew, making a rustling sound." By describing the sound of the cold wind, he enriched the description of the night environment from an auditory perspective. - ** Taste and smell **: For example, when describing the seaside environment, you could write "The salty spring breeze blows from the warm beach". This involves the sense of smell (salty). If you describe the taste of the snacks on the beach, it involves the sense of taste. However, there are few examples of taste in the material.
