(1) Magical realism is the main artistic feature of this novel. The effect achieved by magical details and bizarre narratives is to amplify the "realistic factors" in reality and highlight reality itself in a magical way: ① There are magical contents everywhere in the work, among which the most vivid ones are the constant appearance of the ghost of Melquíades, the arrival of Rebeca, which caused months of insomnia in Macondo, and Remy the Beauty. Daisy was wrapped in a sheet and ascended to heaven, and the heavy rain that lasted four years, eleven months and two days after the massacre in the square, etc. ② In addition to superb writing skills, there is also a realistic concern, and always incorporates reality and history. The Macondo people entered civilization from primitive times, angrily participated in the civil war, endured the oppression of cruel capitalist plunder (especially the development of banana plantations), and encountered ruthless massacres. These are all portrayals of the historical process of Latin America. (2) The extensive use of imagery and suggestion makes the moral of this novel more profound. For example, Remedios the Beauty symbolizes beauty, and her ascension to heaven symbolizes the disappearance of beauty; the child with the pig tail symbolizes certain deformities in reality. The description of amnesia in the novel is the most symbolic. The whole village of Macondo suffered from amnesia and forgot everything. Even the most common and familiar things such as tables, beds, and cows could not be named. This hints at the modern world represented by Macondo. People have forgotten the cultural roots and traditions on which they live. Through the black fable about the Buendia family, Marquez uses language games to put the history of Latin America into the small town of Macondo, telling the story of Latin America's desire for freedom, democracy, prosperity and tireless struggle.
