Page	59～84
Abstract	Li Yu, who is also a novelist and art critic, has always followed the modernist creative aesthetics. She said that “multiple references” is her creative concept; later Mei Jialing pointed out from the dusty documents collected in “The Lost Cloud” that “seeing” is also a creative feature she masters. Based on this book, this paper proposes that “detailed description” is Li Yu’s third narrative aesthetics; and points out that through detailed description and matching the “viewer” to elicit multiple stories, multiple narratives can be achieved. Inspired by the creative aesthetics. Li Yu, who specializes in art history, shows that there are two unique characteristics of creation through the interaction of art and literature. The first is the metaphorical aesthetics of detailed description. Only by peeling away the seemingly redundant details can the true meaning of the novel be analyzed. significance. Second, upward promotion is the goal of Li Yu’s detailed description, in an attempt to reach a sublimation state that transcends gender and lead readers to rise. Li Yu, who is obsessed with beauty, uses the creative aesthetics of detailed description to achieve what she considers to be an excellent literary model of self-practice.
