We all know how to use occupation,class, ethnic and other characteristics to help form a unique personality;howevertheseThings do not necessarily make this character active.On the contrary, sometimes the characters are more rigid due to detailed introduction.We should remember that to describe a person, we must know everything about him, but do notFacialWrite them all together;We need to show him with action at any time.Every action clearly and forcefully shows that he is more and more lively and practicalIn this way, the appeal power of the characters can be profound and broad.

Definition of action description: to show the character's character characteristics andMental outlookDescription of.
Why do we need to describe the characters' actions?In literary works, the description of characters' actions is the main means to shape characters.Shi Naian needs to be shapedWu SongI have arranged for one time“JingyanggangWu Song's "fight against the tiger" is all about how Wu Song "fight", describing Wu Song's hero's nature and strength in martial arts from his actions. It is written in the book that he adopts the strategy of "first defense, then attack", and shows his strategy and tact. The author shows Wu Song's multifaceted personality characteristics through the vivid and detailed description of the whole process of fighting against the tiger. Therefore, Mao Dun said: "Character must be expressed through action."He also said:" Since the action of the character (the plot of the work) is the main means of expressing the character's character, whether the character's character is typical depends on whether these actions are typical. When the author orders the character to act, he should try to eliminate those who are vivid and interesting but can't expressTypical character's plot? "

1、 Character should be revealed from his own actions;2、 The action of a character should be chosen to represent his character.Therefore, the purpose of describing the characters' actions should be very clear;3、 Attention should be paid to the vividness and typicality of the characters' actions.The so-called vividness means that the author should write not only what the character is doing, but also how he does it.The so-called typicality means that the author should write why the characters do this, but not do that.
The positive side of the aboveDescriptive method, when writing, not mechanicallyAppearance description、Psychological description、Action descriptionIt is described in three ways."Man is the sum of all social relations".When describing the characters, we should integrate these methods and use them flexibly, so that the characters can be vivid and lifelike.
Secondly, after studying positive description, let's see what isProfile description。The so-called side description refers to: not describing the characters from the front, but exaggerating the atmosphere from the description and description of other characters and eventsFoilThe description method of characters.Qing peopleMao ZonggangWhen commenting on Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I think that this novel often uses the technique of setting off to depict the character.In his comment on the meeting of the heroes with Jiang Gan in the trap, he wrote: "There are positive and negative contrasts in the articleLu SuHonesty is contrasted with the cleverness of lining holes.writeZhou YuCute, double the brightness with holes. Cute, yesPositive liningAlso.for exampleThose who write national colorsUgly WomanThe beauty of form is not like that of beauty, but more beautiful;Write tiger generals tocowardIt is more brave to be brave than to be brave."
Everything always exists in contradiction with each other.The method of setting off is just a reflection and application of dialectical laws in artistic creation.The author of "Yi Gui"Liu XizaiIt said: "The front side does not write the reverse side, and the front side does not write the opposite side or the side side. It is wonderful to see the shadow and know the pole." Our ancient people called this method "powder dressing on the back side".
aboutPositive descriptionandProfile descriptionIn the specific description of characters, we should also consider whether to use positive description or side description, or both, according to the needs of the theme and the specific situation of the plot development.
The formula of action description: action action+action object+action environment+action feeling. There are three of them. Your article has a highlight. Action feeling is essential
