Sketch is also one of the ways of poetry expression, which mainly uses simple and concise words to describe images, without paying attention to rhetorical modification and rendering. It requires grasping the characteristics of the object and truthfully outlining the modal characteristics of people, events and scenes.
China's excellent classical novels, such as Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, often use line drawing. In Lu Xun's works, there are also many examples of using line drawing techniques.

Sketch feature
1, do not write the background.
Don't write the background, just highlight the theme. China's excellent classical novels and classical operas have this feature: he does not write the background, but focuses on describing the characters. Highlight the character through portrait description or short dialogue.
For example, in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the portrait of Zhao Zilong is outlined as follows: "Suddenly a young general turned out from Ma Chaopo's left side, and the flying horse took Wen Chou with a gun. Gongsun Zan went up the mountain to see the young man: he was eight feet long, with heavy eyebrows, wide face and heavy weight. He fought with Wen Chou fifty or sixty times, regardless of the outcome. "
With only twelve words "eight feet long ...", Zhao Zilong, a handsome and brave young general, appeared.
2. Don't be meticulous
Don't ask for details, just ask for vividness. Because sketching has no trouble with other decorative descriptions, the author can concentrate on describing the characteristics of the characters, and often with a few words and actions, he can make the finishing point to reveal the spiritual world of the characters, and receive the artistic effect of "less wins more". "Form" conveys "spirit" and has both form and spirit.
Zhu Ziqing's prose is very good at sketching characters in simple ways. For example, in "Qinhuai River in the Shadow of Paddle Lights", he sketched the image of a man on a geisha boat: "At that time, a man came across the boat, holding an unfolded song fold in his hand, and put it in my hand, saying,' Count it!' ..... I'm so embarrassed!
I also pretended to be generous and took a look at the geisha, but it was useless! I finally turned the song over. I didn't see a few words clearly, so I quickly returned them to the guy and said shyly,' No, we ... don't.'
He gave it to Pingbo. Pingbo turned his head and waved his hand and said,' No!' That man is still tired of staying. Pingbo turned his head again, shook his head and said' No', and the man came back to me. I turned him down again in embarrassment. Only then did he leave disdainfully. "Through the description of this guy's movements, expressions and language, the author highlights his career and personality characteristics. Although there is not much ink, it is quite vivid.
3. Not gorgeous
Not gorgeous, but simple. Excellent literary and artistic works are touching because the author expresses his true feelings; The truer the feelings are, the more they can shock the readers' hearts. In Song Dynasty, Li Qingzhao was a poet who was famous for sketching. In her lyrics, she expresses her feelings directly, with delicate feelings, simple and fluent language, unpretentious and natural beauty.
At the beginning of her masterpiece "Slow Whispering", we used fourteen overlapping words: "Looking and searching, cold and clear, sad and sad". This reduplication is the most artificial place, but the author uses it properly. The sad and sad atmosphere set by the fourteen characters is very consistent with the lonely and sad mood in the tragic experience of the death of the country and her husband, so it has been appreciated by ci theorists in past dynasties.
Writing down the wind to send geese, on the contrary, increased her homesickness and revealed her love for flowers and her love for flowers. Finally, she wrote that sitting alone was boring and extremely depressed. The author describes the artistic conception of "the phoenix tree is raining, and at dusk, dribs and drabs", which is difficult to penetrate for a while, but he also uses the technique of line drawing. Write a straight book, sincere and sincere, such as seeing people's hearts
