In China's splendid classical literature for thousands of years, poetry is undoubtedly the brightest pearl. It involves a wide range of social life and has a far-reaching and enormous influence on the country and the nation, which is probably beyond the reach of other nationalities in the world. It provides us with incomparably rich knowledge to learn, among which there are many writing methods.
"If you want to learn poetry, kung fu is above poetry", which is Lu You's heartfelt words to his son in Song Dynasty. No matter how you write poems or articles, you can't do it without a rich knowledge base and rich social experience. He also made it clear: "I think it's an armchair strategist and I don't know if it's going to be done." This is a vivid summary of my literary creation activities. What do you want to write, express and discuss? You lack a down-to-earth attitude, and you don't put yourself in the process of thinking and research. Talking on paper is often just playing the edge ball. Take the road of Wan Li and study in thousands of books, and be a well-informed person!
"Suddenly there is a good poem, and the syntax is hard to find." The images in Chen's two poems in Song Dynasty reflect the important role of inspiration in literary creation. How to capture inspiration? Mo Yan, a famous writer, said that I have always maintained a good habit, that is, I carry a small notebook and a pen with me and write down my thoughts and views at any time. Yes, you always have to accumulate and be prepared, so why wait until you "sort out the syntax" to think hard? Zhu also said: "Ask where the canal is so clear, because there is flowing water at the source." The accumulation of real life is the inexhaustible source of inspiration and the soil of creative activities. Accumulate at any time to be a diligent observer and good at preparation!
"Sing a song and break a few stems." (Tang Lu Jenjean) If you have good materials and good topics, you must also have good language to express them. China literati always pay attention to the art of refining Chinese characters, not to mention "two sentences in three years, one song and two tears" (Tang Jiadao), so painstaking, how can it not be touching! So what are the criteria for refining characters? Is it unusual and weird to do good deeds? Yuan Haowen put it well: "In a word, nature is eternal and extravagant." The best words can best reflect the essence of things and express the interest of writing.
However, life language and writing language are two different styles of writing after all. Writing the language of life truthfully is only a record, not an art, but an appropriate re-creation is an art. Therefore, writing must emphasize the exquisiteness of the characters, but it must also pursue the realm of "clear water produces hibiscus, natural carving". Be good at refining words and be a person who strives for perfection in language!
"Delete the complicated and simplified Sanqiu tree and do something unconventional in February." Gong Zizhen was a great writer in Qing Dynasty. He is good at summarizing the way of writing from a macro perspective, and clearly requires that writing articles should have clear structure and clear main lines, such as trees in autumn, whose branches are branches and leaves; The main idea of the article should be distinct and individual, and fully express your own views. Don't wear new shoes, take the old road and bottle old wine in new bottles. His articles reflect his creative ideas well and are worth studying seriously. So pay attention to the layout of the article to express your personality and be an independent thinker with capitalized personality!
Art has its similarities, and these truths in ancient poetry, although mostly from the aspect of poetry, are also enlightening to our composition. Treat every article as a poem, then every article will have the soul of a poem!
