Four methods of appearance description
Appearance description is to describe the appearance, clothing, expression, posture and so on. Through the description of characters' appearance, their inner world and personality characteristics can often be reflected.
First, sketch description. It is to draw vivid and vivid characters with concise and simple pen and ink without rendering or contrast or rhetoric. The application of this description method can give readers a simple and vivid impression. For example, in Mr. Fujino, Fujino's "black and thin", "moustache", "slow and very depressed tone", "wearing glasses and carrying a pile of books", his clothes are "fuzzy" and he wears an old coat in winter. Grasping the characteristics, sketching a few strokes, vividly portraying a scholar image with simple life and rigorous scholarship.
Second, cartoon description. In character description, it is necessary to emphasize a certain feature of the character's appearance, and exaggeration can be used. Describing a person's appearance in an exaggerated way is a comic description. For example, Lu Xun's "Ah Q": "The most irritating thing is that there are many scars on his scalp that I don't know when." Although this is also on him, it seems that it is not expensive to see the meaning of Ah Q, because he dare not say' Beijing' and his pronunciation is close to' Lai'. Later, he popularized, as well as "lights" and "light", and later, even "lights" and "candles" were popularized. "Mr. Lu Xun grasped the most striking and humorous feature of Ah Q's appearance-the scar on his head, and made an exaggerated description in humorous language. Showed a humorous cartoon for readers.
Third, meticulous description. Meticulous brushwork refers to the detailed description of characters with pen and ink. Just like the close-ups of figures in movies or meticulous figure painting in paintings, the appearance characteristics, costumes, clothes and subtle expressions of figures can make readers see clearly and leave a deep impression. For example, in Liu Shaotang's "Yu Qian Fan": "My aunt is bolder than others: she wraps black and shiny big braid around her neck, with white teeth biting her braids and bare feet, holding the tree body thicker than her waist with both hands and spinning until she climbs to the top of the tree and straddles the branches." This passage vividly depicts a "wild" and "bold" hungry "aunt" with meticulous brushwork. The detailed description of the appearance of the characters is unforgettable.
Fourth, indirect description. That is, the author does not directly write the appearance characteristics of the characters, but expresses the appearance characteristics of specific characters by writing the reactions of people around him. This method is implicit and meaningful, giving people a broad imagination space. Rusang described Luo Fu's outstanding beauty: "When the monkey saw Luo Fu, he put his moustache on his shoulder. When the teenager saw Luo Fu, he took off his hat and hung his head. The tiller forgets to plow, and the hoe forgets to hoe. Come to complain, but sit and watch Luo Fu. " "Monkey" saw Luo Fu put down his baggage, touching his beard, and immersed himself in the enjoyment of beauty. "Teenager" saw Luo's father take off his hat and only wore a scarf, hoping to attract the girl's attention. The "cultivators" and "hoes" near Luofu are not the first to see Luofu, but they often stop working because of watching Luofu, which leads to the delay of working hours. None of these words directly describe Luo Fu's appearance. We don't even know whether Luo Fu is tall or short, slim or plump, but we just think she is beautiful. Indirect description is implicit, adding endless charm and charm.
Example: Mr. Du looks only about 30 years old, with a pair of black wide-brimmed glasses on his serious rectangular face and two small eyes shining behind them; Two corners of the mouth are always closed, and they don't like to talk at ordinary times. As far as I can remember, he seems to be wearing only a semi-old blue dress with his sleeves always pulled. Whenever class is over, he puts the book under his arm, puts the remaining half piece of chalk in his pocket, lowers his head, and slowly walks to his office step by step like a footprint. However, in class, he seems to be a different person. He talks a lot in class and reads the text loudly. Sometimes he is red in the face with excitement. He goes to the platform and waves his arms ... The students' attention is attracted by him. They look at him with wide eyes.
The classroom stopped talking as soon as the invigilator came in. He has a high nose, bright eyes embedded under long black eyebrows and a thick beard under his nose, which makes people know that he is a strict invigilator. He glanced at the classroom and then began to speak: "Students, today is the time for you to report your primary school results to your motherland. Do the problem carefully, and don't be careless at all. After receiving the test paper, you should see the questions clearly, don't glance left and right, whisper, answer questions carefully, and strive for good results. "
