Description is a common expression in general narrative style and a basic means of writing. So, what is a description? Description is a vivid and concrete description of the appearance and modality of a character or scene with vivid language.

Writing characters, static and dynamic descriptions, and writing articles can only be "vivid" and "realistic" through description. This is because the author writes about people and things through concrete and visualized language, which makes people immersive. Below, I will talk about the content of the description.

First, fine painting and line drawing

1. Detailed description. Detail description is the flesh and blood of the article with a large number of vivid and appropriate metaphors and flowery words. It can be said that without delicate description, there will be no real and full characters, and there will be no sense of reality in the article. Mr. Lu Xun once said that it is best to write about a person's eyes. For example, the description of eyes in lev tolstoy. In addition, Zhu Ziqing described the scene of his father buying oranges in Back. "He climbed up with his hands, and his feet shrank again; His fat body leans slightly to the left, showing the appearance of hard work. " When crossing the railway, he first scattered oranges on the ground, climbed down slowly, and then picked them up and walked away. "It is this meticulous description that describes the hardships of the father and reflects the father's love for his son. Lu Xun described in Kong Yiji that when Kong Yiji bought wine, he proudly "paid" nine pence, but later he "touched" it. These meticulous descriptions vividly depict the image of an old intellectual who was poisoned by the feudal imperial examination system and was pedantic and poor.

2. Sketch. Sketch is a kind of writing that captures the characteristics of people or things with simple words and outlines the image of people or things with a few strokes. For example, in Kong Yiji, "He is tall, with a pale face and some scars between wrinkles. He has a messy white beard and a long gown, but it is dirty and torn. " There is no exaggeration or exaggeration in the description of appearance here, but the image of Kong Yiji, a bullied old intellectual, clearly stands in front of readers.

Second, character description.

Depicting characters is inseparable from describing them. Commonly used are profile description and frontal description. Character description usually adopts the method of setting off characters. For example, in the famous poem "Shang Mo Sang" written by Han Yuefu, "When the monkey saw Luo Fu, he provoked his beard. 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. " I came back complaining and angry, but I sat watching Luo Fu. . This profile description sets off Luo Fu's unparalleled amazing beauty, giving people endless aftertaste and imagination. Moreover, in the story of Guan Yu's wine beheading Hua Xiong, the cup was still steaming, and Guan Yu had beheaded Hua Xiong under his horse, showing that he was heroic and invincible.

The methods of positive characterization are:

(1) Appearance description is also called portrait description. It is to describe the appearance characteristics of a character (including its appearance, clothing, expression, etc.). ) in order to reveal their ideological character and express the author's love and hate. The requirements of appearance description are: grasping the characteristics, drawing vivid pictures, portraying characters and expressing the soul. For example, "he knows so much that his hair is squeezed out."

(2) Psychological description, that is, the description of the inner world and personality characteristics of the characters in the text. Such as this jingle: "When is the homework? Ask the sky with a pen. I wonder what time it is in Beijing. I want to sleep, but I'm afraid I have to train tomorrow. Bad words are like poisonous arrows. Infinitely desolate, I really want to leave this world. My hands are sore, my body is weak, and my brain is full of lead, so I dare not hate it. I don't know where I am. Dad expects his son to succeed, and mother expects her daughter to succeed. This matter is old and difficult. I hope it will open tomorrow, and see you at work. " This doggerel, which reflects the heavy academic burden, is refreshing with bitterness in humor.

(3) Action description, that is, expressing the actions of the characters themselves in the contradictory struggle through language and words, thus showing the description of the characters' personality and mental outlook. For example, in Lu Xun's Hometown, eldest sister-in-law Yang Er "put one of my mother's gloves in her pants and went out" when she went out. The word "stuffed" vividly depicts the shoplifting and selfish personality of eldest sister-in-law Yang Er.

(4) Language description. Beautiful language, beautiful language can add a lot of color to the article. So, how to describe the language? Personalized language description. Or elegant, or humorous, or Chun Xue, or chin beauty, as long as they can portray the characters more deeply, they can all be selected. Reasonable and clever use of humorous language can turn blunt into vivid and ordinary into extraordinary. Humorous language, such as the cool summer breeze, can make people feel refreshed; Humorous language is a clear spring in the mountains, which makes people feel relaxed and happy; Humorous language can open dusty memories, make people open their hearts and shorten the distance between people. For example, a teacher said, "If the students sitting in the back can be as quiet as the students playing mobile phones in front, it will not affect the students sleeping in the middle." Such language not only enriches the characters, but also adds color to the article.

Thirdly, static description and dynamic description.

Static description: refers to the description of plane, static people or scenery. For example, at the beginning of Midnight, the scenery of the Baidu Bridge outside Suzhou Creek at dusk is described, which is how to express the extraordinary prosperity of old Shanghai in the 1930s.

Dynamic cat writing: refers to writing static in a moving way, or describing things in an anthropomorphic way. For example, in Zhu Qiqing's "Green", Mei Yuting: This pavilion stands on a prominent corner of the rock, and the top and bottom are empty; Like an eagle spreading its wings and flying in the sky.

There is also the fourth paragraph in Zhu Ziqing's "Spring": "Peach trees, apricot trees and pear trees, you won't let me, I won't let you, they are all full of flowers. Red as fire, pink as chardonnay and white as snow. " These flowers smell good. When I close my eyes, the trees seem to be full of peaches, Xinger and pears. "Still flashing." This article flexibly uses rhetorical devices such as parallelism, personification and metaphor. And the language is beautiful, turning static into dynamic, combining dynamic and static. Reading such words is really a beautiful enjoyment.

Fourth, environmental description.

Environmental description refers to the description of external conditions directly related to characters-society and nature. Can be divided into two categories:

1. Description of natural environment, also known as scenery description. Such as the text in "Static Description and Dynamic Description" above.

2. Description of social environment. In a narrow sense, it refers to the place, background and atmosphere of people's activities; In a broad sense, it refers to the sum of social life and interpersonal relationships in a certain historical period. For example, to write about a student, we must contact the school, family and society. In Lu Xun's Kong Yiji, "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn wind is getting colder every day. Look at the early winter. " It is not only a description of the natural environment, but also a description of the social environment, which indicates the coming fate of Kong Yiji.

Description is a kind of expression method with both form and spirit, which makes the objective object vivid, tangible and immersive. Learning to describe this method well will also lay a good foundation for future writing.

She dragged her leaded legs forward step by step in the cold wind. In the gray shadow, she looked back frequently, hoping to see her mother's familiar figure, but she was disappointed again and again. Her clear eyes were covered with a layer of water mist, and her eyes became more and more red and swollen. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her thin eyebrows squeezed tightly together. "Mom will never come back!" The idea has been hovering in her mind. She is like an ant in a frying pan, every inch of her skin is torn and kneaded into a ball, but she wants to break free and has no strength. She opened her arms and cried hysterically, "Mom, Mom …" Tears raged on her face …? (level 95? Shen Jiayi)

It was already night when I went to the hospital, and the dim lights flashed. Hearing the sound of opening the door, she looked up in surprise and said, "Come and sit here!" " ""Mom, how are you feeling recently? " Father asked much better, much better, and his head was not dizzy. "She answered with a smile, and motioned me to sit beside her, put my hand in her palm and dance slowly. That calloused hand, as hard as pine bark, has been rubbing on my hand. "Mom, the doctor said that you have a sick rest, and your heart is bigger. Don't think too much. Let's have a good treatment in the hospital and don't spend money. "My father kept telling me." Um ... um ... "Her eyes were reddish, and she nodded gently, awkward. After a moment of silence, he said, "You put on more clothes for the baby. Look at these cold hands. "Hold my hand tighter, and then ask my father to get some food from the cupboard and give us a cushion. Watching me eat cookies, she took a long sigh of relief, leaned back like a sigh of relief and sat on the bed in a different position.

The light outside the window was dim, so we said goodbye to her and told her to lie down and have a good rest, but she insisted on coming out to see us off. The thin figure stood at the door on crutches, watching us gradually disappear into the mottled shadow under the street lamp ...? (level 96? Liu Shuting)

"You look at you, what is this answer? The composition is wrong, the ancient poems are all typos, and the basic questions are basic questions ... Hey, where do you say you usually do your homework? " Mom's veins stood out, her brow furrowed, one hand rested on her hips, and the other hand was dangling in front of me with a piece of paper. Alas, I work hard every time, but I can't meet my mother's requirements every time. As long as I finish the exam hard, as long as my mother sees my paper, she will explode. Poor me, I'm often blown around. (level 96? Ma Yurong)

The north wind is blowing harder and harder, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. I can't wait to think of the warmth and comfort at home. Suddenly, a big man slapped me from behind: "Hey, do you know how to get to the Agricultural Bank?" Of course I know this road, but I really don't want to stand in the cold wind and delay when I rush home. But on second thought, can he meet anyone else in such a windy and cold day? How long will he have to find his way in the strong wind? Forget it. Tell him. So I took him to the alley and said, "Go through this alley, turn right at the second crossing, then turn left and cross the opposite road. The Agricultural Bank is the second one." After listening clearly, he showed a happy expression and repeatedly said thank you to me ... with the secret joy of helping others, I accelerated my pace. Hey! Stranger, don't be-guest-angry! (level 95? Zhou Li)

This biology class is really interesting! I can't help laughing. Out of the classroom, fresh air is blowing on my face, and the breeze is blowing slowly. The green branches nodded and smiled at me, and the peach blossoms pushed my mulberry branches full of branches, with enchanting gestures. A peach blossom fell right on my palm.

In the Peach Blossom Shadow, there is a figure that is so familiar. Ah! It's the math teacher! "What can I do? What should I do? It's time to come Life is hard and there is no way. " In a blink of an eye, the math teacher came to the classroom with a stack of test papers through Taolin, and high heels hit me hard in the heart. "Come on, hand out the papers!" I hung my head and dared not lift it. The paper landed on the table without mercy. The red fork is shocking. Suddenly, the sun is harsh, the peach blossoms are pale and the birds are annoying. The wind is whistling, not as gentle as before. (Han Bingbing)

Pushing open the backyard door, a wisp of fragrance came to the nose. The tall osmanthus tree attracts your attention. Occasionally, a butterfly flies around it, and swarms of bees buzz under it. Approached, the fragrance is getting stronger and stronger. The rich fragrance is overwhelming, covering me and wrapping me. Osmanthus fragrans under the green leaves is small and exquisite, with four petals extending slightly outward, and the stamens are light and delicate, as big as rice grains. A gust of autumn wind swept, and sweet-scented osmanthus fell like a golden butterfly, which was refreshing. Further inside, several citrus trees were placed in a trapezoidal shape, and the branches were covered with orange lights. In the innermost part, there is a jujube tree. Oval dates are full and fragrant. Pick some and have a bite. How sweet! ? (Han Bingbing)

"A few plums in a corner, cold ling alone." Winter is the season when everything withers. In this season, all the flowers can't stand the test of cold, and they hide their faces and are delicate. Only plum blossoms bloom in the cold.

Look, the plum blossoms in the heavy snow are so touching. The dark brown branches are vigorous and powerful, and the yellow flowers seem to burst out from the branches, full of tenacity. Small and exquisite petals are crystal clear and spotless. In the snowy winter, when plum blossoms come to the nose, Xun Mei has become a beautiful legend. (Li Ziyi)

The yard in my hometown is my favorite. The courtyard wall is surrounded by flowers and plants, which are also mixed with some wild strawberries the size of a little finger. Take it off and have a taste. They are very sweet. In front of us is a vegetable field with green parsley, lettuce and spinach. There are three trees behind the yard, one is jujube, and the ripe jujube is full of branches, full of particles and big red, which makes people linger. The other is a citrus tree, and the green fruit hides behind the leaves shyly, just waiting for the autumn wind to come and blow the little face red. Next to the citrus tree is the osmanthus tree, surrounded by flowers. A breeze blew, and the fragrance of osmanthus immediately overflowed the yard. Bees smell the fragrance and play under the flowers. It's really "sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom, and the fragrance floats ten miles"! (Li Ziyi)

When first frost arrived, the grass, flowers and trees in the backyard were covered with a layer of white gauze, which was wrapped in silver in the morning light. Grasshoppers are jumping around among the yellow grass leaves, as if looking for the last bit of food. Not to be outdone, ants make final preparations for winter in droves. A faint fragrance floated in. Looking along the fragrance, there are only a few clusters of small flowers on the osmanthus tree, which shows the tenacity of life. Gorgeous oranges, light makeup and heavy makeup, wrapped themselves in scarlet robes and twisted their beautiful posture in the wind. Autumn is getting stronger and the autumn wind is cold, and the northern geese fly far away. A few unknown birds are singing, is it the last farewell to home? (Seo-hee Jang)

On a sultry summer night, there is not a breath of wind. Persimmon trees have dark leaves and drooping heads listlessly; Grandma planted small flowers, and the beautiful face of the past became dull; Groups of cicadas are clamoring in the trees in the backyard: "It's so hot, so hot …" The gloomy sky is low on people's heads. Grandpa's Chinese cabbage leaves are rolled up, as if they can't be watered thoroughly. After drinking three or four spoonfuls of water, there is no sign of coming back to life. "If only it rained heavily," I muttered.

Suddenly my back is cold. Is it raining? Looking back, it turned out that the peas next door were watering the vegetables with water pipes. He smiled badly, held the hose tightly and shot at me like a water cannon. I rushed over, grabbed the hose and rushed at him. Haha, look, look, he became a drowned rat at once. ? (Seo-hee Jang)

In the cold winter, living in a small house, the heart is as calm as water, just like the cold and silence in winter. When the haze cleared, the sun penetrated the clouds and spread the bright warmth to the whole world, my mood became active again. Just my energy makes my blood boil again and again; Light is my seasoning, brewing the sweetness of hope. Yes, if winter comes, can spring be far behind? (Li Yang)

Quiet outside the window, music flowing gently, mellow voice gentle and serene. In winter in the north, the wind whizzed past, and it didn't seem to bring any warmth; Whistling away, leaving no happy memories. Come alone and go alone. Close to affectionately, but blocked by thick cotton-padded clothes. The wind, which is not good at expression, is blowing the dead branches without leaves in disorder, with a dull pain in my heart and whistling with regret. The whirring sound touched the heart, leaving no trace and making people sad ... Near the window, a figure did not move. Winter has not passed, but spring has come. Where shall we go tomorrow? (Wang Lizhen)

? He opened the door and saw someone coming. He clenched his fist and said, "Get out!" " ""bang! "The door is closed. The rain outside the window is still heavy, and the light of lightning is reflected on the glass, which makes the room light up. He sat on the ground and slid slowly against the door, listening to the sound of rain outside the window. That man is his best brother! He curled up, hugged his knees and burst into tears, completely ignoring the anxious voice coming from outside again. " I can share happiness with you, but I can't take you to the fire pit. Sorry, brother, forgive me for being selfish and heartless. (Tong Yuan)?

I carefully pushed my bike forward, ready to accept her "indiscriminate bombing". Unexpectedly, the little girl's mother comforted me as soon as she opened her mouth: "Nothing, just a scratch, just apply some medicine." Then he turned to his daughter and said, "Look, my sister is scared by you. Give her a smile! " "The little girl listened to her mother and smiled through tears, revealing two rows of white teeth. I can't react at the moment. Aren't there some people in society who specialize in "touching porcelain"? Don't many victims in similar accidents take the opportunity to speak? I'm still where I am. I haven't recovered yet. The figure of mother and daughter has gone away. (Liu Yue)
