What is elaboration writing?

To elaborate and emphasize. It is the "Fu" in the Book of Songs. Han Confucianism said: "The words of Fu directly explain the good and evil of today's politics and religion." He wrote down the things directly and narrated them repeatedly. It was obvious that he could finish it in one sentence, but he said it over and over again. At its extreme, it developed into a style of writing that was as magnificent as the furnishings in the homes of the nouveau riche. But it seems indispensable in general articles.

Liu Xi's "Explanation of Names" puts it more concisely: "To spread its meaning is called fu." In fact, fu is to lay out and describe, and it is a method of expressing the events directly and describing the objects.

Preparation is the basic creative method of Ci Fu. Dispersed, paragraph, progressive, and parallel are the four presentation methods of Ci Fu.

The so-called scattered presentation method refers to spreading verses or verses with the same content throughout the work.

The paragraph-based presentation method refers to using a poetic paragraph or natural paragraph to describe a certain theme in the work.

The progressive presentation method refers to the use of a layer-by-layer, step-by-step in-depth description method when laying out the entire work or entire paragraph, which is vertical.

The parallel presentation method refers to the method of depicting the entire work or the entire paragraph from different directions and aspects, making the depicted object horizontal.
