Novel is a literary style, which generally describes the story of characters and shapes various characters, but there are exceptions. It is a literary work with complete layout, development and theme. Novel is a literary genre that focuses on portraying characters and reflects social life through complete stories and specific environmental descriptions. [1] [2] The value essence of novels takes time as the sequence and a certain character as the main line, which reflects the process of the emergence, development and disappearance of the value relations (political relations, economic relations and cultural relations) of various roles in social life in a very detailed and comprehensive way, and shows the interaction of various value relations in a very detailed and comprehensive way, among which the value essence of love novels reflects the relationship between men and women and marriage. Compared with other literary styles, the novel has a large capacity, which can show the characters' character and destiny in detail, show the intricate contradictions and conflicts, and describe the social life environment in which the characters live. The advantage of novels is that they can provide a complete and broad social life. (1) Mini-novels classified by length are completely in line with the reading habits of busy people in the rapidly changing modern society. Almost every day, people give new terms and definitions to this kind of novels, such as extremely short stories, short stories, ultra-short stories, micro-information novels, one-minute novels, a pack of cigarette novels, pocket novels, focus novels, primary school novels, thumb novels, mini novels and so on. There are so many of them that it is difficult for even specialized literary researchers to describe their definitions as numerous as a few treasures. The average person is more likely to be confused, so in a word. It is generally believed that the length of short stories should be less than two thousand words. Because the theme is often a fragment of life experience, which can be headless and tailless, can be headless and tailless, or even headless and tailless. The climax is put at the end, and it ends as soon as it comes out, creating an artistic conception with lingering sound. Because it is shorter than short stories, the text needs to be more concise, and it is best to know the theme. Although an unexpected ending can attract people's attention, the essay should be foreshadowed, and more attention should be paid to whether it can impress readers than to surprise them. Short stories are generally believed that novels with thousands or more words will be classified as short stories. In its characteristics, there is the so-called three unifications-one person, one place and one time, that is, reducing the role, narrowing the stage and shortening the time flowing in the story. In addition, although they tend to cherish ink like gold, it is generally believed that short stories should conform to the original definition of novels, that is, there should be enough details to describe them, which is by no means an abridgement or outline of novels. Generally speaking, novellas are considered as novellas with a length between 30,000 words and100,000 words, and a few novels with a length exceeding100,000 words are considered as novellas rather than novels. Generally speaking, it is a novel that is easy to succeed. Because for people who are new to the creative field, writing long stories is easy to fall into the predicament caused by most plots, while writing short stories is either monotonous with too few turns or too many turns. At this time, it is a widely recommended suggestion to consider changing the original idea into a novella. Generally speaking, novels with too few words are considered as novels, which is really inappropriate. The novel reflects a lot of things and is very rich in content. It is difficult to become a novel with too few words (unless a few words are extremely rich). The word number of novels is the most uncertain, and the word number gap is the biggest. There are hundreds of thousands of words (this is the bottom line of novel words), and there are also millions or even millions of novels. This kind of novels can also be divided into short stories (generally between100000 and 300000 words), novellas (generally between 500000 and 600000 words), novels (generally over 800000 words), super novels (generally up to1500000 words) and giant novels (often millions of words, like more than two million words and three). If the author intends to express the complex relationships that are common in life, he must use such a large space. Usually, even novels with relaxed style will have serious themes, otherwise it will easily fall into a state of disorder or disorder. When beginners write long stories, they should pay attention to the overall response to the theme and the rigor of the structure to avoid repeated contradictions or omissions. (2) Classification of wuxia novels, wuxia novels, mystery novels and mystery novels Historical novels, military novels, romance novels, science fiction novels, game novels, fantasy novel Ye Yan novels, historical novels, time-travel novels, magic novels and YY novels Note 1: It is generally believed that mystery novels and mystery novels all originated from the development and changes of crime novels, but there is no significant difference between mystery novels and detective novels, and they can be classified as one. Generalized mystery novels include horror novels (horror suspense), supernatural novels (supernatural suspense), adventure novels (adventure suspense) and so on. (3) Literary novels are classified according to artistic forms (such as martial arts novels, mystery novels, mystery novels, etc.). (4) Classification of pure literary novels and popular novels by writing language (5) Classification of realistic novels and surreal novels (such as magic novels and supernatural novels). (6) Classification of traditional novels and online novels (including online games novels, mafia novels, overhead novels, etc.). (7) classify ancient vernacular novels, contemporary ancient vernacular novels ("Fu") classical Chinese novels ("Liaozhai") vernacular novels and local language novels by written language (8) classify plane novels and electronic novels by work carriers (9) classify first-person novels, third-person novels, letter novels and dialogue novels by writers. Say (10) classifies classical novels, satirical novels, realistic novels, modernist novels, critical realistic novels, romantic novels, formalist novels, existentialist novels, stream-of-consciousness novels, neo-fiction schools, and magical realism (1 1), and divides them by years. The number of words in classical novels, modern novels and post-modern novels (12) is a factor that distinguishes novels, novellas, short stories and mini-novels, but it is not the only factor. People usually call novels with less than 1000 words as mini-novels, short stories with 1000 to 10000 words, novellas with 10000 to 80000 words and novels with more than 100000 words. This is only in terms of words. In fact, the difference between long, medium and short stories is mainly determined by the scope of life and the capacity of the works. The novel has the largest capacity, the widest length, a relatively long length and a relatively complex structure. Generally, social life is expressed through more characters and numerous events, such as A Dream of Red Mansions. Although novellas do not reflect life as widely as novels, they can also reflect a certain breadth of life. The number of characters and the complexity of the plot are between novels and short stories, such as Man to Middle Age. Short stories are compact, short and pithy. They often write only one or a few characters, describing a fragment or episode of life. Although the life reflected in short stories is not as broad as that reflected in novels and novellas, it is also complete, and some of them have profound and rich social significance, such as Liu's The Head Teacher. The development of novels in contemporary China is unprecedented, and many types of novels have been born, such as martial arts novels, romance novels, science fiction novels, mystery novels, fantasy novel, historical novels, online games novels, travel novels, revised novels, beauty novels, fan fiction and so on. Except for martial arts novels and romance novels, the latter novels are all online novels, and the reason why there is such a scene of flowers blooming is inseparable from the development of modern Internet. However, some online novels have become a kind of fast food literature, which is too formal and pursues visual pleasure, resulting in a single structure, divorced from life, lacking certain artistry and sociality, and it is difficult to become a classic. However, the sensitivity of some types of novels is doomed to be unacceptable to the public, such as beauty novels and fan fiction. Although there are many excellent works in online literature, such as Ghost Blowing Lights, Zhu Xian, Living with a stewardess, etc., they are favored in the online reading and physical book publishing market. But more online novels are still inseparable from the new soil of the network. Compared with online novels with large space and high output, the publishing market of physical books is still dominated by mainstream literary novels, and young novelists such as Jing M.Guo, Han Han, Rao Xueman and others are still best-selling symbols. In terms of literary novels, the works of famous artists such as Yu Hua, Mo Yan and Jia Pingwa are also representative, and the sales volume of their works has been high. After entering the 2 1 century, genre novels in China (mainly in Chinese mainland) developed rapidly, and a large number of outstanding writers who wrote science fiction, suspense and martial arts novels emerged, such as the martial arts novelist Bu Yanfei and others, whose works were deeply loved by young readers. The development of mystery novel is changing with each passing day, such as Cai Jun, Zhou Dedong, Wang Jiajun, Shangguan Wuye, Muye Zhang, Guimaxing, Zhuang Qin, Qing Zi, Pu 'an and so on. Generally speaking, in this era of diversified reading, novels are unprecedentedly prosperous, not only occupying an absolute mainstream position in the book market, but also showing a state of contention among a hundred schools of thought, with very optimistic development prospects.
