Four core principles of structured writing
Because of the particularity of workplace writing, this is particularly prominent compared with literary writing.

For example, the purpose of novel writing is to constantly create suspense so that readers can get unexpected surprises or be frightened at any time. Therefore, in general novels, the conclusion is put back to attract readers to continue reading.

Structured writing is to clarify something or provide important information. Under this premise, then our writing must be accurate, clear, direct and efficient.

An expression only supports one core idea or central idea and should be placed at the beginning.

Conclusion refers to the judgment inferred from the premise, or the final judgment of people on things.

Based on the difference between structural writing and literary creation, the conclusion is usually placed at the beginning of the article.

The upper conclusion is the generalization and summary of the lower information, and the lower information is the explanation and explanation of the upper conclusion.

Summing up the above is the embodiment of high efficiency. The purpose of language is to convey information, to be concise, rather than deliberately piling up words.

A man said, "The dog lies in the canal, and when it escapes from the horseshoe, it is killed."

Another man said, "A horse ran away in the street canal and the lying dog was killed by it."

Ouyang Xiu said with a smile: "You can't finish writing 65,438+10,000 volumes by studying history like this."

The two men asked, "What do you think?"

Ouyang Xiu said, "Kill the dog at once." Two people blushed and smiled.

This interesting story vividly tells us the importance of language simplification, and generalization is the embodiment of efficiency.

After summing up, the following text needs to have an argument part, showing strong logical thinking ability.

Argumentation should have three core elements: argument, argument and mode of argument.

As early as the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the beginning of the Warring States Period, there was already a person who emphasized the importance of argumentation. This man is Mozi. Mozi was the founder of Mohism, a famous thinker, educator, scientist and strategist in the Warring States period, and one of the important pioneers of China's ancient logical thought system.

There is also a very important and easily overlooked problem in the process of argument, and the key point is the correspondence between the upper and lower. Corresponding from top to bottom means that arguments and arguments must be unified and should be in one category.

Information with similarity or correlation should be classified into the same logical category according to certain standards.

What is a class?

A collection of things of the same or similar nature.

And classification is one of the most effective ways for us to deal with complex situations. The process of classification is the process of exploring the essence of things and problems, which requires certain thinking ability, and the practice of classification can also achieve the purpose of training thinking ability.

The two advantages of classification are that classification, as a basic thinking tool, can make thinking clearer; Classification is easier to remember.

Information in the same logical category must be arranged in a certain logical order.

Speaking of order, it is a neutral word, which generally presents two States. Orderliness and disorder reflect neatness, clear hierarchy and clarity, while disorder is disorder, disorder and lack of systematicness.

Why should it be orderly?

Because following a certain order is a cognitive habit of people.

We have lived in various sequences since childhood. Teacher China teaches expository writing, narrative writing and argumentative writing in his own writing order.

In math class, do calculation problems in the order of operation, multiply first, then divide, and finally add and subtract. Calculations in brackets are performed first, and operations at the same level are performed sequentially from left to right.

In history class, the atomic numbers of the periodic table of elements recited in our chemistry class are sorted from small to large according to the chronological order of historical development.

The four core principles of structured writing are complementary dialectical unity, classification and grouping, and logical progression, which require a horizontal relationship between elements at the same level.

Finally, under the norms of the four basic principles, our expression content presents a clear point of view, clear structure, clear hierarchy and logical order, thus making the speaker clear and efficient, and the listener (viewer) clear and clear.
