The artistic feature of that biography of the giant

The greatest artistic feature of Biography of the Giant is the use of exaggeration and satire. Gao Kangda was born to drink milk from 179 13 cows, and his clothes used tens of thousands of feet of cloth. He is too fat and has a 18-layer chin. He took off the big bell of Notre Dame de Paris as a bell and drowned 2604 16 people in urine. These descriptions are full of humor. People and things are not only symbolic, but also ironic.
