The world described in the novel is concrete. Novels are different from argumentative essays, expository essays, poems and essays. It describes a very specific world, which can be seen, touched, smelled and appreciated with heart. Therefore, readers can go deep into it, see something, appreciate something and grasp something.
The world described in the novel is imaginary and reconstructed. This is a very important point. Because it describes a concrete world, the details of this world need imagination to fill. Because most of the events in reality are imperfect, uncertain, restricted by various conditions, covered with all kinds of filth, at a certain distance from the theme to be expressed, disliked by the author and lacking in event integrity, the novel must be reconstructed, such as denoising, adding many bright spots and dark spots, modifying the timeline, putting it in different environments and supplementing the structure. The reconstructed works are like works of art made by seiko, which can bring beauty to the extreme.
The novel is a world fragment with complete structure. Like a leaf, it is a landscape with complete veins, unique colors and distinctive organizational structure. Half a leaf can make people feel incomplete, or it may have unexpected beauty, such as Venus with a broken arm. But if a structure is too fragmented, it will only make people feel abrupt and difficult to understand. And short stories are like a leaf. The organic gathering of leaves forms a tree, and a tree is a larger world segment. Therefore, a novel, like a leaf and a tree, has a complete structure.
