In literary works, writers often use direct description and indirect description at the same time in order to better describe characters. There are direct and indirect descriptions of Wang Xifeng's portrait in A Dream of Red Mansions. During this period of "Granny Liu entered the government", the author used a direct description method to describe Wang Xifeng positively: that Xifeng often sat there in a purple Zhaojun dress, a peach-colored coat, a squirrel cloak carved with sapphire, a red crepe silver and a rat skin skirt, holding a small copper fire stick in her hand. In some places, the author uses indirect description to further describe Wang Xifeng's portrait and show her personality. For example, in the second time, the author borrowed Leng Zixing's words: "It's true that everyone in the world doesn't praise his wife, and even Mr. Lian does the opposite. The appearance is extremely beautiful, the conversation is extremely refreshing, and the mind is extremely deep and fine. It turned out to be a man. "
The sixth time, the author borrowed the mouth of Zhou Rui's family and said, "Although this girl Feng is young, she is older than anyone else. Now, she looks like a beautiful woman. If you don't tell me, I'm afraid you'll be careful just in case. If you want to gamble again, ten talking men can't beat her. " In "Sixty-five", the author borrowed Xinger's words and said, "I told my grandmother that it would be nice not to see her all my life." With a smile, your feet make you stumble; Ming is a pot fire, and darkness is a knife; They are all occupied. "These positive descriptions and profile descriptions set off each other and complement each other, vividly depicting the portrait of Wang Xifeng and fully demonstrating her character.
