Ancient novels don't describe appearances. Please give me some advice.
The description of appearance was an important element in ancient novels, which could help readers better understand and feel the character's personality, emotions, and background. Here are some writing techniques for describing appearances that I hope will be helpful: 1. Prominent features: emphasize the uniqueness of the character by describing its face, body, hairstyle, etc. For example, describing a character with a high nose, deep eyes, and gorgeous hair would allow the reader to better understand the character's personality and temperament. 2. Use rhetoric: You can use some rhetorical devices such as metaphor, personification, exaggeration, etc. to enhance the liveliness and expressiveness of the description. For example, comparing a character's hair to a waterfall and his facial muscles to soft satin would allow the reader to feel the character's characteristics and image more vividly. 3. Focus: When describing a character's appearance, you can focus on a certain feature or hairstyle, and then use a series of descriptions to show the overall image of the character. For example, describing a tall character could be followed by describing the character's slim and light figure so that readers could better understand the character's physical characteristics. 4. Combining background: When describing the appearance of a character, you can appropriately combine the description of the background to let the reader better understand the relationship between the appearance and the social and cultural background. For example, if a character was born in a noble family, his facial features might be related to the noble temperament. If a character came from a remote mountain area, his facial features might be related to the simplicity of the mountain children. Appearance description was an important element in ancient novels. It required the use of skill and imagination to highlight the unique characteristics of the character and appropriately combine it with background description to allow the reader to better understand and feel the image and character of the character.
