The dialogue between characters in ancient novels

Dialogue, people talk about one thing, some talk to themselves (to me), some lament the past (to things), some insult justice (to heaven), and so on. No matter what they talk about, this is the basis of "talking to him".

To perform a good dialogue, there must be "self (self-awareness)", "emotion (feelings expressed externally)" and "treat him (with a theme)"

Without these three things, dialogue reads like chewing wax and has no taste.

☆ Small vigilance:

As far as I can see, some writers only talk to him about their feelings, but not the self of the characters in the novel. This self is simple to say but difficult to do. Self can be said to be the soul and the most important part of the novel characters. If you don't give the characters a more distinctive personality, if you don't write well, you will have a split personality, which will be ignored and careless.

How to write well? I suggest that writers forget themselves when describing characters, integrate themselves into novel characters and regard themselves as novel characters. I'm not talking about pure 2D imitation, but the so-called 3D virtual. In terms of dialogue, I find that many people's dialogues are dull and not vivid enough, and there are no so-called three elements of interaction: emotion, self and others.
