Many new authors will write the story very boring when writing books, which is filled with a large number of narrative sentences, such as settings, such as the introduction of the previous situation, such as the introduction of the characters, such as the introduction of the background of the story, which will lead to a dry story, although a lot of information is given, but each piece of information is not vivid, making it difficult for readers to read and quickly lose patience.

Or if the story is reading happily, a lot of settings or narratives are suddenly inserted, and people are immediately pulled out of the state of substitution full of interest, which is also very ruinous to the sense of substitution.

Here are some examples:

Wang Qi is a very smart person, he lives in the bluestone town of the Aotian Continent, the Aotian Continent is divided into four kingdoms, southeast, northwest and northwest, and the bluestone town is the southernmost part of the Southern Kingdom, close to the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

On this day, he got a mysterious exercise book, according to which he could practice.

The monks on the Aotian Continent are divided into body refiners, law refiners and god refiners, and the body refining is divided into ten layers, which are skin training, meat training, and bone training...

Practitioners are also divided into ten layers, which are divided into the first, second, and third layers of imperial qi...

The god refiner is divided into ten layers, which are the first, second, and third layers of the god refiner...

This is a handwritten paragraph of 101 letters, the content is very dry, not vivid at all, and it is no problem to read him as an outline.

This needs to be "shown" to the reader, so that they have a clear impression of the content -

1. What kind of person is Wang Qi? Is he a man or a woman, how old is he, does he have any habits, is he smart, how smart is he? Is it a three-step sentence and a five-step poem?

2. There is no need to explain the pattern of the Aotian Continent at this time, readers are more concerned about what kind of customs and customs Qingshi Town is?

3. How mysterious is the exercise? Is it a book or a piece of jade? What is the name? How did the protagonist get it?

4. What are the supernatural powers of the body refiners, the alchemists, and the god refiners, and what are the battle scenes of the fights between them? What are the cultivators around the protagonist?

So, why do we learn to "show" rather than "narrate", and how do words make people feel emotional when they read them?

It turns out that the basic element of the story world construction of a novel is words, words form words, words form sentences, and sentences describe situations and characters.

Because the story world is fictional and only exists in the author's mind, and the reader cannot see it intuitively, it is necessary for the author to describe the basic situation and characters as clearly as possible, and give them enough information to imagine the world.

For example, in this example, the 4 aspects of information are enough to expand into 4 chapters, but they are so dryly thrown to the reader, and the reader cannot "see" the story world at all, so he feels that the story is not vivid enough.

Let's expand 101 a little bit below, let's take a look at the changes-

1. Qingshi Town, a town with only more than 100 households, is located near the Warcraft Mountain Range in the southern corner of the Aotian Continent.

The sun was shining, it was the hottest time of the summer afternoon, and the Zhizhi on the tree let out a weak chirp "Got it...... Got it......"

An eleven or twelve-year-old boy in Tsing Yi in the treasure study stood in the sunny world, stretched out his hands, each holding a book as big as a brick, tired and sweaty, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down continuously, wetting the bluestone floor in the yard.

"Hold it up! Damn, let you steal the book! If you can't hold it and the book falls to the ground, I'll chop off your hand!" With a loud shout, a middle-aged fat man in a royal blue robe walked out of the room, his beard shook and shook, and a pair of goldfish eyes shot a fierce light.

"Outside of Wang Yuan, I really didn't steal this book, I just ...... Just look at ......" The little guy in Tsing Yi muttered, his eyes fell to the ground, and there was a stubborn grass in the brick crack, although it was wilted by the scorching sun, it still stood there.

"Nonsense! You are a lowly person who has never even entered the academy and still read?" Wang Yuanwai put his hands behind his back, staring at the goldfish eyes and circling around the little girl, and the little grass was also trampled down by him.

"I will, I don't just know how to read, I can even memorize it!" the little girl whispered in defense, seeing the grass being trampled down, tears rolling in his eyes.

If you can memorize this Diamond Sutra and this Putuo Sutra from beginning to end, I will give you the book for nothing!"

The little girl's eyes lit up, straightened his thin chest, and said loudly: "Back on back, you listen!"

……

Half an hour passed, the little guy memorized the two books of more than 5,000 words word for word from beginning to end, Wang Yuanwai held the book in his hand, and compared it word by word, it was actually word for word, and he was so shocked that his beard was raised to the sky, and the goldfish's eyes were bulging so much that he was about to fall off, and he grabbed the shoulder of the little guy and shouted: "Wang Qi! You are really a genius! Just peeked at such a stick of incense, you actually memorized it?" hahaha...... Come with me, I still have a strange book, the most learned Puguang monk in the town can't read it, you can show it!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but take Wang Qi's arm and run into the house.

Wang Qi took the opportunity to raise his sleeves and wipe the sweat on his forehead, and before being dragged into the house, he looked back at the grass in the crack of the green bricks, and slowly raised his head at this moment, and couldn't help but smile.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

This paragraph uses a scene to write about Wang Qi's cleverness and Wang Qi's stubborn temperament, and also points out the location of the story, Aotian Continent - Qingshi Town - Bao Shuzhai, as well as the challenges and opportunities faced by the protagonist at the beginning......

This way of writing is to show, to blend the information you want to explain to the reader into the story, and the reader will naturally have a certain understanding of the protagonist after reading it, and if you are moved by the story, you will have a strong sense of substitution for the protagonist, and you are eager to read the story.

The best in this regard is Tomato, whose "Panlong" opens several chapters to explain the setting and story background, but because it is integrated into the story, it does not seem boring, but full of interest.

Others, even the three young people of the Tang family, can't avoid throwing the narrative of the setting in his new book, but fortunately, his setting is only a few short lines, and it will not interfere too much with the reader's reading, just take a look at it as an instruction manual.

To sum up, the clever storytelling technique is to use the display as much as possible, and use less or no narration, and if you really have to do it, you can use less narration in the scene description and transition plot, basically no more than three lines, and not too focused to dilute the story.

Finally, I will list some sentences that have made a mistake in the narrative, and if you are interested, you can expand on it.

1. He's a ferocious killer. (How vicious?)

2. She felt scared. (How scared?)

3. He killed the tiger with one punch and the lion with another. (How were the tigers and lions killed?)

P.S. Regarding the difference between "narration" and "display", you can go to the "Novel Writing Course" to consult, this is not 101 original, but the principle that Western writing theory has long summarized, 101 After seeing it, the first thing I did was to turn out "Panlong", practice the opening narrative technique, and change the dry "narration" in my novel to "display".
