Biography is a record of characters experience's literary works.
Taking people in history or real life as the object of description, the main characters and events written must be true and conform to historical facts, and fiction is not allowed. These are the basic characteristics of biographical literature. In the description of local details and minor characters, we can use imagination or exaggeration to carry out certain artistic processing, but this processing should also conform to the specific logic of characters' personality and life.
The life experience of the characters written must be complete. The description of characters should be vivid, the plot should be vivid, the language should be fluent, and it should have certain artistic appeal.
Biographical literature generally adopts the form and technique of prose, and some are close to novels. Biographical literature has a long tradition in China.
Ancient biographical literature can be divided into historical biography literature and miscellaneous biography literature, that is, miscellaneous biography literature. Sima Qian is the first historical biographer in China. Biographies, biographies, biographies and other historical biographies are almost all excellent works, showing great artistic charm.
The biographical style centered on character description advocated by Sima Qian became the standard style of official history in later generations. Ban Gu's Han Shu, Chen Shou's History of the Three Kingdoms, Shen Yue's Book of Song Dynasty and Ouyang Xiu's Book of New Tang Dynasty all contain some excellent historical and biographical literary chapters.
Mixed biographical literature includes all biographical works except historical biographies, such as inscriptions, autobiographies and biographies. This kind of works appeared as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, but their development and prosperity were mainly after the Tang Dynasty, especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Other writers include Han Yu, Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu, Song Lian, Huang Zongxi and Gu He. In modern times, formal history books and personal biographies gradually separated.
After the May 4th literary revolution, biographical literature has also evolved from traditional style to modern style. Because new exploration has begun, and because few new literary writers have created such marginal works, biographical literature has been relatively deserted for a period of time.
The recognized masterpiece of this period is Zhang Zhuan, a scholar of literature and history. In addition, autobiographies such as Lu Xun's autobiography "Flowers in the Morning" and Guo Moruo's autobiography "Before and After Anyway" can also be regarded as biographical works.
After the founding of New China, with the prosperity of memoirs, biographies and other styles, this situation has changed, and biographical literature has a prosperous trend, resulting in some influential works, especially the biographical literature of some heroic model figures, such as Wu Yunduo's "Give Everything to the Party", which has become a widely circulated youth reading.
