It stands to reason that the Chinese Department should be a fertile ground for cultivating writers. With the teaching of high literacy and the irrigation of many rich literary resources, new writers will grow like buds in spring. However, if conditions permit, there are still few good new generation writers, which shows that they don't want to be the first subjectively.
Why not?
Compared with teachers and civil servants, writers are more like illusory castles in the air. Although the landscape is good and the title is beautiful, it is difficult to make a living, and few people have both fame and fortune. Most people are struggling at the bottom, failing to become a truly respected writer, but just a writer. You know, the sand that can't be caught will eventually be raised. It is better to dispel students' unrealistic fantasies as soon as possible in professional training and develop and grow according to pragmatism.
Then why not?
Not everyone can try to be a writer. A writer needs talent, inspiration, talent and originality to weave dreams and build landscapes. Contrary to its high requirements, in the fragmented information age, students with poor imagination and exhausted inspiration. If you ask random questions, there are not many ideas, but online hot words will come. Old terrier's article has no aura and is rotten, which is either caused by Tian Zi or hurt Zhong Yong in the later period. In the final analysis, talent is dominant, and you can't succeed just by learning writing skills and imitating writing skills.
Students themselves grew up under social pragmatism, and the concept that practicality is king is deeply rooted. This can be seen from the absolute proportion of science in arts and sciences. Few students really have dreams of literary writing, and even if there are, it is easy to lose enthusiasm in the change of time. Who wants to endure poverty with illusory dreams? Who wants to accomplish nothing and hit a wall everywhere?
Objectively speaking, it is not optimistic. At the moment when the paper media is declining, the business of editorial departments and magazines is bleak. Where are there so many opportunities?
To sum up, a problem is not caused by one aspect, but by many factors. Under the dual effects of subjective unwillingness and objective impossibility, the current Chinese department does not want to train writers.
