Forestage refers to a novel in which seemingly insignificant things are used to hint or hint at the characters or events that will appear below; Or the previous article is a clue to ambush the following story. It can be a sentence, an object, a character. For example, this detail in Lin's Snow Mountain Temple: (Lin rushes into the mountain temple) enters the temple gate and closes it. There was a big stone next to it, and the general came and leaned against the door.

This detail is described as the foreshadowing of "pushing the door with your hand, but leaning against the stone". Liu and others had to stand outside the temple, watching the fire and talking. Lin Chong hid in the temple, heard clearly and knew the truth. This is the foreshadowing of the sentence.

Another example is a necklace.

1. The next day, they took the box with the treasure and went to the jewelry store according to the sign inside the box. The owner of the shop checked many account books.

"A long time ago, madam, this necklace was not sold in my shop. I only made this box. "

She didn't open the box at that time, which was exactly what her girlfriend was worried about.

These two details set the stage for the ending "fake necklace". This is the foreshadowing of this paragraph.

Another example is that there are two objects in Lin's Snow Mountain Temple, namely "wine gourd" and "fireworks", which seem inconspicuous, but they are actually important foreshadowing in the novel.

The old army pointed to a big gourd hanging on the wall and said, "If you buy wine to eat, just leave the pasture and invest in Dongxiaozhi, and you will find the market after a walk of three or two miles." .

Write about the sloppy attitude of the old army and take out the gourd. At first glance, it seems to be buying wine, but it is actually leading to the temple. It can be said that without the gift of the old army's "wine bottle gourd", there would be no straw yard for Lin Chong to sell wine, and there would be no plot for him to avoid fire and overhear the words of Lu Qian and others. This is the foreshadowing of the object.

He went to the parcel to get some broken silver and chose a wine gourd with fireworks.

When reading a book, I only know that the weather is cold and my hands are cold. In fact, I can immediately set the stage for future killings. This is also the foreshadowing of the object.

Another example is the role of Li Xiaoer, the hotel owner, set at the beginning of Lin's Snow Mountain Temple: the novel begins with a description of his past with Lin Chong.

Li Xiaoer linked Lin Chong's past and present, which provided a suitable place for Lu's appearance, and made the contradiction and conflict between Lin Chong and Gao Qiu, Lu and Guan Ying and the poor distribution have a return point. At the same time, because someone pointed out that Lin Chong was good to Li Xiaoer, it was reasonable for Li Xiaoer to inform Lin Chong later. This is the foreshadowing of the characters.

No matter what kind of bedding, its function is nothing more than implicit explanation, which makes the structure compact and reasonable. Readers will not suddenly feel suspicious when reading the following content, or suddenly understand after seeing the plot behind: writing something that looks idle in front is originally for this purpose.

Appreciation and use of foreshadowing should pay attention to the following aspects:

First of all, we must be prepared. For example, the Temple of Snow Mountain in the Forest mentioned "oblique wrist sharp knife" and "flower gun" in front, and the climax part wrote "oblique wrist sharp knife" and "flower gun" to kill the enemy. Failure to lie down is failure.

Second, be "smart". The key to foreshadowing lies in the word "V", and it should be a "V" with no trace. For example, Lin's "Snow Mountain Temple", selling wine to keep out the cold and blocking the door to keep out the cold, were all practical needs at that time, all related to snowy weather. It felt natural and reasonable to read, and it was not considered an ambush. It can be seen that "hiding" is more important than "hiding" and should not be deliberately revealed. The foreshadowing should be hard to be noticed by readers, popular as water and natural.

Third, bedding and care should be sparse but not dense. That is, don't be close to the care behind you. If you stick it too close, it will make the novel look boring and boring to read.
