Why do you need psychological description when writing articles and novels?
Judging from the work itself, its purpose is more to shape the characters. A character image that does not reveal the inner world of the character is just an empty shell, and such a character cannot be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Compared with the description of appearance and language, psychological description can directly describe secular desires, and reveal the feelings that are difficult to express only by external images, thus making the characters more full of three-dimensional realism.
From the reader's point of view, proper psychological description is to make readers and characters in the novel feel * * *, which is also an important factor to impress people in a work.
So after we understand the definition and function of psychological description, the next point is, how to describe the psychology of the characters? Even, how to vividly describe the psychology of the characters?
As the name implies, direct description means directly describing, explaining and explaining the inner activities of the characters. This is the most common and widely used psychological description of characters.
Its sign is usually that the sentence contains some key words, such as "think", "think", "sigh", "whisper" and "calculate".
The lady looked up and gave him a cold look. She thought it was ridiculous that a poor teenager from a remote area came to the palace to talk about marriage without being attracted by the magnificent scenery of Kyoto. -"Choose a Day"
The word "Xiang" is used the most. If the psychological descriptions in the text are all "xx Xiang", it will be really boring. I suggest you use some synonyms of "Xiang". The words I mentioned above, such as thinking, sighing and calculating, are all acceptable.
The so-called inner monologue means that the characters talk to themselves (alone) in their hearts through thinking and talking to themselves.
Formally, there are first-person inner monologues, such as
? I thought he was still awake at this time, but he came to tell me a secret and was obviously depressed. If I don't listen, I'm really not my brother. And then look back humbled. -"to the sky kingdom"
There is also a third-person inner monologue, which involves the author, such as
Chen Changsheng doesn't understand what happened today. Obviously, he came to break off his marriage. How did he end up in this situation? He is even more puzzled. There are many ways to solve this engagement, but why did Mrs. Xu, who is extremely clever, choose this most stupid method? -"Choose a Day"
From the content point of view, the inner monologue can be divided into, the characters soliloquize:
He looked at his pale hands. After a while, he sat down in front of the desk and chair and unbuttoned his clothes. This body ... has no bullet holes. Are you kidding? I clearly remember so many bullets shooting at me, going back and forth. Is it plastic surgery? No, the body is not his own. All the features show this sign, especially when he took a bronze mirror and saw the image in it, which further confirmed this point. -"Widowed Husband"
Characters talk to others in their hearts:
He took a deep breath and then spit it out. Big deal, Tang Mingyuan. How much will it cost you to buy this? -"Widowed Husband"
It vividly reveals the psychological activities of the characters from the angles of their manners, appearances, movements, languages and other details.
Take Death of Empresses in Huafei Palace as an example;
When she saw that I only brought a small face in, she only said, you are so courageous that you dare to come in alone in the cold palace.
I smiled indifferently: I came to this place earlier than you. At first, I watched her die here.
Her mouth rose slightly. Do you want to watch me die, too? She used to be a phoenix eye, and looking at people sideways became more charming and sharp: you don't look like you're coming to see me off, but you look like a village woman who has never seen the world rushing to attend a wedding.
I don't think so. I said with a smile, it's no big deal to see you go to the west with your own eyes. Besides, the living village women are better than the dead.
She sneered, you have nothing to be proud of, but you are setting me up! She became furious. I never ordered Sue to set fire! She gasped: although he is a member of my palace, he is not my bosom friend. How can I command him like this? In a rage, she would jump on me and strangle me. I didn't shy away either. At the moment when she approached me, Xiao Lianzi twisted her hands and pushed her against the wall.
In this passage, Hua Fei didn't know the truth. Her harsh language, sharp eyes and even rushing to pinch Zhen Xuan's neck all expressed her anger at Zhen Xuan.
Her face is twisted with anger and fear, which makes people feel terrible: you are talking nonsense! This incense was given to me by the emperor. How is that possible? ...
I sneered again and again: Why not? ! If it wasn't the emperor's intention, how could no doctor tell you that your body contains musk! Not to mention your infertility, do you think that your abortion was Duan Fei's anti-abortion drug? Duan Fei is just an emperor in name only. No matter how much you fill her with red flowers, you can't fill your children back.
She froze in the local area, clutching the sachet as if to crush it. For a long time, I laughed hysterically and asked, why? Why?
For a moment, I couldn't bear it, but I soon hardened my heart. Word for word: because you are the daughter of Murong family and the king of Runan, if you have a child, they will take their youngest son to abolish the emperor ... I didn't go on, and she naturally knew the benefits.
Hua Fei's skirt is full of tears. After a while, she stopped crying, her cheeks dried up, she just laughed and trembled violently: the emperor-the emperor has caused me so much pain!
Laughter did not fall, only to hear a bang, warm blood immediately splashed on my face. I quickly closed my eyes and took two steps back. When she opened her eyes again, her head was hitting the wall, and the whole person fell to the ground softly, holding only the sachet full of Huan Yi Xiang in her hand until she died.
In this passage, Hua Fei's expression of crying and laughing after knowing the truth, short and sad words, and finally the act of hitting the wall and dying deeply show the desperate psychology of the characters.
A good environmental description is not only for describing the environment. Scenery and emotion are generally directly related. Scenery plays an important role in rendering and setting off Syaraku's lyric with scenery and the emotion expressed by lyric with scenery. This kind of feeling can be an atmosphere or the psychology of the characters.
For example:
Black cattle, yellow horses and white sheep gallop among the green mountains and grass, as if 100 thousand troops were advancing! The little fish looked at it from a distance, his face shining with excitement and his eyes shining with light. What a spectacular sight! What a great world this is! From dusk to dusk, from dusk to night, he just stood there, and his mind suddenly seemed to broaden a lot. -"Two Girls"
The above is the way of psychological description, and the next section will share the dialogue description.
