The full text runs through this description from beginning to end.
Bright red gives people a warm and cheerful feeling; It seems to be an inspiration and attracts many people;
Transparency, that is, unreserved, honest and inner thoughts, can illuminate the sun and the moon;

Taking dreams as the backbone and core, the article achieves the artistic effect of reappearing Lu Xun. (weeds) use dreams in large quantities, which fully shows Lu Xun's ideals, disgust, hesitation and hesitation; Among them, the reappearance of the dead deepens the connotation of the work and extends and communicates time and space.
Ba Jin's
There is also a premise that Ba Jin had contact with Lu Xun and was familiar with Lu Xun's personality and style. Therefore, it provides a solid foundation for dreams.
Second, portray Lu Xun in various ways.
1. Portrait Description With the beginning of the dream, Lu Xun appeared: "Still short stature, black robe, bushy eyebrows, bushy upper lip beard, deep eyes and kind smile." In this way, readers can see this person clearly. In fact, not many people saw Lu Xun himself at that time. The author's detailed description left a deep impression on the readers.
2. Action description. For example, when Lu Xun appeared, "there was a cigarette between two fingers in his right hand." He took a deep breath of smoke and sprayed it into the air.

Third, full of passion and strong appeal.
Ba Jin's works are famous for their passion. & lt autumn night) has this characteristic.
Passion first comes from the heartfelt memory, praise and memory of Lu Xun. I have many thoughts and ideas, and how much I have to say to my husband.
In terms of expression, Ba Jin often uses parallelism sentences, such as "He walks around the room, sits in a chair, smokes, reads, talks and writes at his desk ..."

..... I have published twenty collections of essays. In fact, these twenty books are all thin books, full of articles. There are features, essays, travel notes, letters, thoughts, memories and news reports ... In short, as long as it's not poetry, no stories, no characters, and no reasoning, it's not too boring, but it's still a little emotional. I call such an article "prose". (Ba Jin
I recently said in another place that the highest state of art is no skill. I said in a debate with a friend decades ago that good-looking people don't need heavy make-up, and my article is like an ugly one, but it looks better without dressing up. He said: "The works that have been circulated for a long time have been handed down by literary skills. Who cares about life a hundred years ago? " I don't agree. I think what touches people's hearts is the life and fate of the protagonist reflected in the works. This is still against the kind of rhetoric that confuses black and white out of nothing. I hate those lies that deceive the world and readers. (Ba Jin
