Lu Xun's words indeed expressed the core meaning of novel creation, that is, in the end, the creation of a novel still has to return to the creation of characters. The character is the soul of the novel and the essence of the novel art. In the novel, the author needed to describe the character's personality, psychology, behavior and other aspects in detail so that the readers could deeply understand and feel the inner world of the character. At the same time, the author also needed to show the relationship and contradiction between the characters through the interaction and conflict between the characters so that the readers could better understand the theme and plot of the novel. Therefore, the creation of characters is the key to the creation of novels and the essence of the art of novels. An outstanding character could not only attract the attention of the readers, but also bring profound meaning and meaning to the novel. In the creation, the author needs to constantly explore the character's personality and psychology and show the character's personality and characteristics through meticulous description so that readers can better understand and feel the characters in the novel. In the end, writing a novel still had to serve the characters. Only by deeply understanding and shaping the characters could the novel have true artistic value.
