Characteristics of China's Classical Novels

(1) Pay attention to the description of characters' movements, language and details; Show the character's character in the conflict; Characters are single and rarely change; Depicting characters' movements, language and typical details is regarded as an important means to shape characters' images, but rarely dabbles in their inner world. For example, Zhang Fei in Romance of the Three Kingdoms has only a loyal and brave character. Whether it's external characteristics-stiff beard or external movements-yelling three times is only for his brave character. The characters are not full enough. Lin Chong in Lin's Snow Mountain Temple is a good example.

(2) The plot is tortuous and the story is complete. For example, the legend of the Tang Dynasty has a grand layout, dramatic plot development, complete beginning and end, and complex contradictions and conflicts always revolve around a main line. Mao Dun once commented that the structure of Water Margin has the following characteristics: the development of the story is interlocking, step by step, but it is densely alternating, swaying and complicated, avoiding straightforward narration.

(3) The language is accurate, concise, vivid, fluent and full of personality. For example, the description of Kansai Town in Luda in Water Margin is an example.
