Answer 1

Blessing was Lu Xun's novel. The description of the scenery at the beginning of the novel created a desolate atmosphere, allowing the readers to feel the grief and loneliness in the author's heart more deeply.

By describing the desolation and ruin of the village, the readers could feel the great influence brought by the changes of the times and the vile and helpless environment of the protagonist. At the same time, this kind of description could also lay down the foreshadowing of the protagonist's encounter and life after the encounter, making the readers look forward to the development of the plot.

In addition, the description of the scenery could also provide the reader with emotional resonance, allowing the reader to feel the feelings of the protagonist more deeply. For example, the loneliness and helplessness of the protagonist in the novel can be described more deeply through the desolation and ruin of the village. The reader can resonate with the protagonist and feel his inner pain and loneliness.
