Virtual writing is an indirect rendering through feeling, imagination, contrast and foil. Its function is to leave enough imagination for readers and make the article more implicit.
Real writing and virtual writing are often used in combination, complementing each other and achieving better results. People call it "the combination of reality and reality".
Combining reality is to combine abstract narrative with concrete description, or to combine the description of immediate real life with memory imagination. Not anthropomorphic.
Virtual and real are relative, as the book says, some are real, and none is virtual; Evidence is truth, and false support is empty; Objective is true, subjective is virtual; Concrete is real, hermit is empty; Actions are true, but words are empty; The present is true and the future is empty; The known is true, the unknown is false, and so on.

What is the important role of the combination of reality and fiction in ancient poetry? Regarding the important role of the virtual and the real, Tang Biao in the Qing Dynasty put it incisively in Reading Composition Spectrum: "The article is not true enough to explain the meaning, and the virtual is not enough to sway the meaning, so the virtual and the real are often suitable for each other." In view of the short space and limited capacity of poetry, the poet seeks the combination of reality and fiction, which makes it rich in connotation and endless in extension.
Such as Tang Du Fu's "The banks of the Yellow River were recaptured by the imperial army":
The news of this distant western station! The north has been recovered! At first, I couldn't stop crying on my coat.
Where are my wife and son? There is not a trace of sadness on their faces. However, I packed my books and poems crazily.
On a green spring day, I began to go home, singing my songs loudly and drinking my wine.
Come back from this mountain, pass another mountain, go up from the south and then go north-to my own town! .
In the winter of the first year of Baoying in Tang Suzong (762), Tang Guanjun broke thieves in Luoyang. The following spring, Du Fu lived in Zizhou (now Santai, Sichuan). When he heard the good news of the officers and men, the poet was ecstatic and wrote the only cheerful poem in his life.
Its first two couplets are realistic. When the poet first heard that the land in the middle of Sichuan was "gathering thistles in the north", it meant that the nest of the "An Shi Rebellion" that had been entrenched for eight years was destroyed, and Du Fu couldn't help crying all over! This is really sad, happy, happy and sad!
He looked back at his wife and children who had suffered from the war with him. Where are they still sad? So I rolled up my poetry collection and enjoyed it with my family! "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, shedding tears on my skirt, reading them and turning over poetry books" are all real life of "ecstasy" at once!
The last two conjunctions are empty. We "sing" and "indulge in wine" to celebrate the victory * * * to celebrate the recovery of lost ground; We are rejuvenating, rejuvenating, returning to China with young children, and bidding farewell to the wandering life.
Although the poet was in a foreign country at this time, his thoughts had already flown, and he entered Jialing River along Fujiang River, crossed the dam and entered the Yangtze River, then left Wuxia to Xiangyang and turned to Luoyang to return to his hometown. The rhythm of the poet's homecoming rhapsody is light and harmonious, and the position change is dizzying! At this time, Du Fu's feelings are like flood peaks, rushing forward and pouring thousands of miles!
Without these two empty words, it is difficult to express the joy of the poet when he first heard the news of victory and his desire to go home quickly! The reason why this poem is known as "the fast poem of Du Fu's life" lies in the wonderful combination of reality and reality! Virtual writing is particularly essential, as Wang Shizhen said in Yi Yan Yuan Yan: "Those who are sparse before must be dense, those who are half wide must be sparse, and those who are real must be empty."
