What are the advantages of modern novels over classical novels?

China's traditional vernacular novels come from lectures and essays to tell stories to the audience, so China's classical novels take storytelling as their profession. However, since the late Qing Dynasty, with the prosperity of newspapers and the shortening of publishing cycle, it is difficult for writers to maintain their "imagination" in telling stories to the audience, and consciously realize that novels are written for readers, not for the audience. The change of writing presupposition from "what to say" to "what to write" has changed the author's narrative style. At the same time, many literary innovations that once belonged to the forbidden area, including the diversification of narrative methods, have also become flexible and loose. The narrative mode of China's traditional vernacular novels is to tell a story with the plot as the structure center from the omniscient perspective. China's modern novels are destroyed in three aspects: omniscient perspective becomes limited perspective; Coherence into a section; A novel doesn't have to tell a story with a beginning and an end.

The changes of narrative time in China's modern novels are as follows: First, the writer pays attention to expressing the special mentality of the characters in a specific situation, rather than telling a tortuous and interesting story. The deeper he enters the character consciousness, the less he adapts to the time sequence. Modern novels are rarely narrated, and often follow and flashback; Second, distorting the novel time is not to follow the causal relationship of the story itself, but to highlight the writer's subjective feelings, and to obtain a special aesthetic effect by overlapping or comparing different time and space scenes. The changes of narrative angle of China's modern novels are as follows: First, the narrator's vision is limited, so as not to destroy the realism of the novel because the narrator is offside when describing something he doesn't know; Second, deliberately alienate the author and narrator, thus creating an ironic effect, or providing another perspective, leaving readers more opportunities for aftertaste. The changes of narrative structure of China's modern novels are as follows: first, modern writers pay attention to the "conception" of novels, emphasize artistic individuality and express the daily life of ordinary people, which determines the "non-plot" trend of novels; Secondly, the tendency of "psychological" and "poetic" in modern novels makes writers pay attention to the feelings, associations, dreams, hallucinations and even the subconscious, and pursue the "emotional appeal", "poetic interest" and "artistic conception" of novels.
