Where does "imagination" come from? How to internalize knowledge for writers to use? How to write interlocking stories? At the sharing meeting, Li Xuewu combined the plot of the book and explained to the audience: firstly, the quality of fantasy novels is based on knowledge. The design concept of "Big Basket City" mentioned in the Qixiang Story, which is "one yin and one yang, above and below water", comes from the historical geography monographs that the author has read. If the story is "illusory", the environment must be "real", and verifiable details are the key to the persuasiveness of fantasy novels. Secondly, reading requires "stacking". Imagination comes from distant associations, transplanting the same concept to different fields can yield new writing inspirations. Li Xuewu leads on-site readers to engage in an interactive "imagination game", mobilizing children's spiritual power and creating a unique fantasy scene through three steps: "adding magical props," "adding supernatural characters," and "setting up a non real world.". According to Lu Xiaoxin, the chief editor of Children's Publishing House, "The Children of the Water God" is a fantasy masterpiece with a novel structure, moving language, and distinct themes. Through the ups and downs of the story, it presents the long history of Chinese civilization and traditional culture, showcasing the spiritual power of "sacrifice and dedication, courage and pursuit of dreams, love and hope" from the practical difficulties of different eras. Children's Publishing House will continue to rely on the "Qin Wenjun Children's Literature Innovation Award" as a professional literary award, continuously enhance the literary brand influence of the "Qin Wenjun Children's Literature Innovation Award · Winning Book Series", and gradually build a new generation of children's literature covering Shanghai and even the whole country
