Montage was a technique commonly used in movies, television, and radio. It referred to a set of shots, sound effects, music, pictures, and other elements that were quickly switched in a short period of time to produce a visual impact and emotional impact. Montage can also be used in literature to create effects. Here are some examples:
1 contrast and contrast: contrast and contrast is one of the most commonly used techniques in montage. It creates a strong visual impact and emotional impact by setting contrast and contrast between different images. For example, in the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, the author used different colors, different postures, and different voices to create vivid and distinct images.
2. Crossing over time and space: In literature, readers can be confused and confused about time and space by crossing over time and space, thus producing emotional resonance. For example, in the novel Dream of the Red Chamber, the story of the emotional entanglement between Baoyu and Daiyu crossed the barriers of different dynasties and different social classes, allowing readers to resonate strongly.
3. dialogue and monologue: dialogue and monologue are important forms of expression in literature. Through them, the thoughts and emotions of the characters can be expressed. In montage, the rapid switching between dialogue and monologue could make the readers misunderstand and guess, thus creating emotional resonance. For example, in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the dialogue and monologue between Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei frequently used rapid switching methods, making it difficult for readers to understand, resulting in many guesses and misunderstandings.
4. The comprehensive use of music and sound: In literature, music and sound are also important forms of expression. Through them, the emotions and thoughts of the characters can be expressed. In the montage technique, one could create a visual impact and emotional impact through the comprehensive use of music and sound. For example, in the novel Journey to the West, the dialogue between Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang, coupled with melodious music, made the readers have a strong emotional resonance.

Montage was a commonly used rhetorical device in film, television, and media. It could also be used in literary creation. It referred to combining a series of different shots, images, sounds, and other elements in a seamless way to create a coherent, rhythmic, and dramatic effect. In literary creation, montage could also be used to create a unique atmosphere and emotion for the work, allowing the readers to understand the meaning of the work more deeply.
The application of montage in writing generally followed the following principles:
Unity: All elements must be consistent in time, place, emotion, etc. to avoid confusion and contradiction.
2. Rhythm: The connection between elements should have ups and downs, climaxes and lows, so that readers can feel a strong sense of rhythm and ups and downs.
3. Levels: Each element should have its own level, such as dialogue, description, action, etc. There should be progression and reversal between them so that the reader can more clearly understand the plot and character relationships of the story.
Dramatic: Elements should be dramatic enough to attract the reader's attention and enhance the tension of the story.
The following are some common examples when using montage:
1. dialogue and description: dialogue and description can be connected through montage techniques to create a more vivid and profound character image and story. For example, in Dream of the Red Chamber, every conversation between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu could be added to the background and atmosphere by the reactions of the Grandmother Jia and other characters, making the whole story more colorful.
2. Scene switching and music: Music can create a unique atmosphere for the novel while scene switching can enhance the rhythm and emotional continuity of the story. For example, in Journey to the West, Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang's journey through the scriptures made the whole story more vivid and fascinating through the combination of different scenes and music.
3. Scene switching and color: Color can create a strong contrast and atmosphere for the novel, and it can also enhance the expressiveness of the story. For example, the scene of Song Jiang and Lin Chong confronting each other in the cave in Water Margins could enhance the tension and expression of the whole story through different colors and changes in lighting.
When applying montage, different techniques needed to be applied according to different scenes and plots to achieve the best effect.
