The Narration(Fu,Chinese), One item of classical Chinese literary criticism, reflect on the syntactic device and lexical devices, currently used in narrative poems, with parallelism, couplet exclamation etc. Generally, the narration is the fundamental of expression device, can either describe a vivid scenery or render the atmosphere with some motion.
