Fashion designers and architectural designers attach great importance to color matching. In fact, composition is the same, because composition comes from life, and life itself is rich and colorful, which determines that the use of color as a text to reproduce life can not be ignored. This can be seen in ancient poems, such as "Spring breeze is green in Jiang Nanan, when will the bright moon shine on me?" "Two orioles sing green willows, and a row of egrets go up to the sky." "Weicheng is rainy and dusty, and the guest house is green and willow." "The sunset is lonely in Qi Fei, and the autumn water is * * * one color." The reason why these poems are famous in ancient and modern times is that colorful images have contributed to the construction of a perfect picture scroll. In fact, the role of color in writing is not only that, but also great.
First, build a beautiful picture exquisitely.
It is hard to imagine how boring the scenery will be and how pleasing a fresh and beautiful picture will be. Life is colorful, and colorful pictures will be more stereoscopic and thicker.
There is a passage in Zong Pu's "Green of West Lake": There are towering old trees beside the road, and full of green seems to have cleared up after the rain. The trees in the upper layer of Feilai Peak are green, some are dark green, deep and dense; Some are blue, light and bright. The winding path under the peak is covered with moss, and the straight green extends into the crevices. Sitting in the cold spring pavilion, I feel cold and relaxed. The stream beside the pavilion is sparkling and said to be a stream. In fact, I can't express the momentum of running. The smooth place is also clear and flows in a hurry. The splash is like flying beads rolling jade, which is particularly beautiful in a green shadow. Lingyin ancient trees towering, everywhere green, people who have been there must have left an impression, but it is not easy to restore it realistically. The screenwriter's imagination is very rich, fully mobilizing the sensory organs, using rhetoric and color changes, pushing green to your eyes, making you feel like you are in it, and your eyes are green.
Liu E described a scene of Daming Lake in Travel Notes of Lao Can: Arriving at Tiegong Temple, looking south, I saw the Sanskrit Monk Building opposite, competing with pine and cypress, red and fire, white and white, blue and indigo, green and green, with one in the middle, just like a big painting by Zhao, a poet in the Song Dynasty. I was enjoying it when I heard a fishing song. Looking down, who knows Daming Lake is as clear as a mirror. The reflection of Qianfo Mountain is clearly visible in the lake. The trees on the balcony are particularly glorious, more beautiful and clearer than the Qianfo Mountain above. On the south bank of the lake, there is a market, but there is a layer of reeds, dense and dense. Now it's time for flowers. White flowers reflect the sunset with water vapor, like a pink carpet, making a cushion for the upper and lower mountains. It's really unique.
Here, what we see is clearly an autumn landscape painting, gorgeous, clear and beautiful. Although it is late autumn, if it is only golden and fiery red, it will be slightly monotonous, so the author captures a few green carpets in the mountains and pink carpets in the sunset, which makes the picture extremely rich and beautiful.
In Winter in Jinan, Lao She also painted a charming picture of winter snow with blue and black dwarf pines, "white flowers" at the top of trees, blue sky with silver edges and "flowered clothes" with white and yellow.
Second, subtly hint at the status quo.
In real life, the division of color is great and exquisite, with strong suggestibility or pointing to sacrifice, which means that we can not only interpret life characters through color, but also mark life characters through color in turn. Through the color, we can see through the mood: on holidays or happy events, bright colors are bound to be favored, and if there is misfortune or even separation of life and death, gray and black are extremely exaggerated; Status can be distinguished by color: emperors and princes, luxury houses and jade houses are mostly red and purple, and poor slaves and humble homes are mostly gray and brown.
The color of ancient clothing is closely related to its status. Generally speaking, the gorgeous colors such as gold, yellow, red and purple are mostly dignitaries, while cyan, blue, black and white are civilians. In A Dream of Red Mansions, when Wang Xifeng made her debut, she dressed up as "colorful embroidery, like a fairy princess: wearing a bun embroidered with golden silk and eight treasures, and hanging five phoenix beads in the morning; Wearing a red gold plate around his neck; The skirt is tied with bean green uterine tapestry and Pisces rose; Put on a wisp of golden butterfly, a narrow red satin coat, a colorful carved stone green silver mouse coat and a jade crepe skirt. " The overall color of the dress is "colored embroidery", with gold as the main tone, which shows her wealth and luxury, implies her prominent position and aggressive personality in Jiafu, and also well implies her vanity and greed. Look at the dress in the house again: "I saw the sedan chair coming in, wearing a gauze hat, a sunflower round neck and gold soap boots." The two bright colors "sunflower color" and "gold color" are the feudal upper bureaucrats at first glance, and their identities are completely exposed.
When Lao Wang, written by Yang Zhong, came to my house for the last time, the author described him like this: "His face is pale and his eyes are clouded, and he can't tell which one is blind and which one is not." To put it ridiculously, he is like a coffin, like a zombie in my imagination. There is a layer of yellow dry skin on the skull, and a stick will smash into a pile of bones. "In fact, the lifeless words" dead ","yellow "and" white bones "have hinted that Lao Wang is not far from death, which is a true portrayal of his situation at that time. Similarly, because "it never rains but it pours when my grandmother dies and my father's errand is handed over", the father in "The Back" is dressed as "wearing a small black hat, a big black jacket and a dark blue cotton gown", and his color is black or gray-blue, which can be seen slightly.
Clever use of different colors can imply or show different status and situation, avoid straightforward explanation and show the beauty of euphemism.
Third, implicitly contrast strange emotions.
As Wang Guowei said, "All scenery and colors are sentimental words", they skillfully use scenery and colors to express their feelings and avoid being straightforward and boring. Famous artists are very familiar with their path. In Hometown, Lu Xun skillfully uses the alternate changes of gloomy-bright-gloomy-bright colors, reflecting the different moods of "I"-disappointment-excitement-sadness-hope.
When I first returned to my hometown, I was naturally in no good mood, because I had to sell my house and bid farewell to my hometown. I am extremely disappointed by the ruins of my hometown. So the author chose the lifeless color words "gloomy", "light yellow" and "bleak" to form a gloomy picture to express his feelings. Coupled with the presentation of images such as "cold wind", "abandoned village" and "broken stem and withered grass", readers are also sad together and can feel the disappointment of "me".
When my mother mentioned leap soil, "I" suddenly returned to that carefree childhood, and the momentary disappointment was replaced by excitement and happiness, so the picture I wrote immediately became bright and beautiful: "There is a golden full moon hanging in the dark blue sky, and there are endless green watermelons under the beach ...", "Deep blue", "golden" and "green" and other bright words are put in front.
I found that my childhood life was extremely difficult, and I was deeply separated from myself. After the white-faced beauty of my childhood became bitter and greedy, my mood fell to a low point again. When I bid farewell to my hometown, I deliberately chose that ray of oblique light wrapped in melancholy "dusk", and the green hills on both sides of the strait were covered with "dark black" color. In the gray, we saw their sadness when they left.
But "I" is a rational and progressive intellectual and should be full of hope for the future, so at last, we saw a bright picture: "I am in the hazy green sand by the sea, and a golden full moon hangs in the deep blue sky", which contains the author's good wishes.
In this way, the author of Hometown skillfully used the change of color to contrast the strange psychological feelings in different situations. There are also two wonderful scenery descriptions in My Uncle Yule: "We got on the boat, left the trestle, and sailed far away on the sea as calm as a green marble desktop." "In front of us, there seems to be a purple shadow exposed on the distant sea, that is, the island of Zheersai." Because the dream is full of hope, I am in a good mood, and the endless sea is green; When the truth cruelly shattered the dream, the sea turned into a purple shadow, one bright and one dark, and there was not much ink, but it well dyed the different moods of the Philip family.
Similarly, the "I" in "The Carving of the Antelope" is also rendered through the cool moon because of embarrassment and sadness: "I am walking slowly on the road alone. The moon came out, so cold that I couldn't help shivering. " Walking in Mo Huaiqi, I feel very happy, because my mother has survived another winter, and the color is bright: "This field in the early spring of the south is casually covered with large tracts of new green, some thick and some light; The buds on the trees are also dense; The winter water in the field is also bubbling. " Lu Xun's "Kite" begins with this description of winter: "In winter in Beijing, it is still snowing on the ground, the gray-black bald branches are facing the clear sky, and there are one or two kites floating in the distance, which is a surprise and sorrow for me." Looking around, it was dark gray and lifeless, all because my brother's complete forgetfulness was unforgivable and extremely heavy.
In a word, the use of color scenery description can not only build beautiful pictures, imply the identity situation of characters, implicitly contrast different artistic conception, make the text more flexible and delicate, but also make the article relaxed and full of rhythmic beauty.
