As the saying goes, "there is no fixed method for writing." The quality of an article in many aspects, such as theme, structure, material and language, is closely related to people's writing level. For most people, writing a good article is not easy. How to write a good article? Up to now, no one can provide a shortcut to make people reach the sky in one step. It needs personal training, continuous summary and understanding. Stupidly, writing an article should do the following:
First, cultivate interest and improve self-cultivation.
Interest is the best teacher. If you are not interested in doing something, it is difficult to do it well. You can't write a good article if you are timid or careless. With interest, you can devote yourself enthusiastically, use your brains, tap your potential, use your imagination and urge yourself to write a good article. Therefore, writing articles should be regarded as a pleasure at ordinary times, and should be faced actively, not as a burden.
People's ideals, beliefs, world outlook and values will directly affect the style and quality of an article. A narrow-minded, selfish or overbearing person can only write works with low style and no vision. Only people with advanced ideas can write healthy and touching articles. And an article that is lifeless or grandstanding and unrealistic is lifeless. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to self-cultivation, establish noble personality, cultivate sentiment and improve professional ethics, which is very important for people to write good articles.
Second, read more works and comb them often.
The quality of writing is related to people's knowledge and reading depth. The ancients said, "You can recite 300 Tang poems by heart, even if you don't know how to recite them", "Reading thousands of books makes you write like a god" and "When you are tired of reading, writing is fun". The concepts of "knowing to recite", "having spirit" and "escaping" here are based on "intensive reading", "breaking thousands of volumes" and "hard work". So read more books and read good books at ordinary times. Only by extensive reading, extensive reading and perseverance can we learn from others and be handy. Of course, if you read a lot of books and have information, not all the information is useful, so you need to sort it out frequently, take its essence, discard its dross and sort it out. When using materials, we should choose the best among the best, and choose accurate, typical and valuable materials, so as to make the article convincing and flesh-and-blood.
Third, master the style of the article and the basic requirements of writing.
Writing is a science, which has its own theories, laws and rich knowledge. From collection and conception to expression and revision, each link has theoretical knowledge and scientific methods. As far as the elements of the article are concerned, the theme, materials, structure, expression, language, etc. There are rules to follow; Stylistically speaking, there are narrative, argumentative, explanatory and practical articles. Each style has its own unique characteristics and requirements, especially it must correctly reflect the style norms. Usually, we should master these basic theoretical knowledge seriously, review it frequently, grope for a summary and master it skillfully. When writing an article, you can first set a correct framework or model for the article, analyze what you have written through creative thinking, choose the best way, and express it accurately through language.
Fourth, practice hard.
The best way to write an article is to practice writing often. Tang Biao of A Qing Dynasty once said: "Scholars only like reading more books, but don't like writing more articles;" I don't know that reading depends on people's efforts, and doing more is a practical effort, which is far from it. People who don't like to do more work are probably because of difficulties and pains ... "This shows that writing articles should combine" inside "with" outside ",learn from others' practices, learn from others' advantages, be brave in difficulties and be diligent in practicing the advantages of" inside ". Every successful author emphasizes "doing" in writing, but many people are afraid of this "doing". Some people are interested in writing articles at first, but their confidence is shaken when they encounter difficulties. Some people are exposed to the cold and can't persevere. Writing itself is a kind of creation and a breakthrough. A lazy person can't create and make breakthroughs. Lu Xun said: "There is no road in the world. If there are more people walking, it will become a road. " This emphasizes a word "quantity", the same truth, a thing, a word, it is ordinary, if you want to write it as an article, you must spend labor, tap your potential, give full play to your talents and try to write it. Perhaps, what you can accomplish is a high-quality article, or even more than one.
Fifth, pay attention to life and imagine life.
Life is everywhere. We should love life, go deep into life, experience life, pay attention to every corner and detail of life, and find strangeness from the ordinary. Sometimes, one thing, one person and one sentence can inspire us. If we can use our imagination, maybe the pattern of an article will appear soon. For example, Mr. Wen Yiduo can find new ideas and write good poems with symbolic significance in such a stinking ditch that people turn a blind eye to. Let's take a look at the sentence in his article "Dead Water": Maybe copper coins will turn green into jade, and several peach blossoms will rust on the tin can; Let greasy weave a layer of Luo qi, and the mold will steam out some clouds for him. These sentences are very beautiful and vivid, and their imagination is rich and unique. If you don't pay attention to the observation and imagination of life, you can't write such poems. The lyrics of the theme song of the TV series Fence. Women and dogs wrote: life is a rope, life is a mess, life is a road, life is a song ... this metaphor for life is the inevitable result of deeply experiencing life and imagining life. The beautiful imagination and fascinating artistic conception of Guo Moruo's Market in the Sky are the creation of the author's passion for life. Today, this poem is still full of vitality. If you don't pay attention to life and don't imagine life, you can't write an article, and writing an article is just artificial and boring.
Sixth, pay attention to tempering language.
Gorky said: Language is the first element of literature. Whether words are used well or not directly affects the quality of the article. Therefore, refining and tempering language is an essential step in writing articles. In Wang Anshi's famous poem "Green in", the first draft of the word "green" was changed to "country", then to "in" and "people", and finally it was named "green". This word "green" vividly depicts the scenery in the early spring in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is used with great momentum, so it can be passed down through the ages. As we all know, the words "an almond grows out of the wall in spring" and "the water of the Yellow River cannot move out of the sky", and the words "noisy" and "out of the sky" give people endless imagination because of their peculiar artistic conception and majestic momentum respectively. Fan Zhongyan's famous sentence "Worry about the world first, and enjoy the world later" has become a famous article because of its rich generalization and profound thoughts. The use of language is endless. Some people do not pay attention to the tempering of language, and their words are sloppy, so the articles written will not be vivid. It should be noted that the article is ever-changing. The ancients said that "two words for three years, one word makes two tears flow", "one word sings peace, and several times twists the neck", "one word is steady, and one person can stand the cold". If you don't work hard to hone your language, you can't write vivid and colorful articles.
Seven, change the angle, and strive to "new" and "special".
The article should be original and have its own unique opinions, and it should not be stereotyped, dull and boring, giving people a boring feeling. It is necessary to jump out of the ordinary people's eyes, learn to look at problems from multiple angles, reason repeatedly, compare carefully, and use your imagination to draw inferences. For example, some people think that a tree can be used for cooking, some people think that it can be used for building houses, some people think that it can be processed into wooden floors, some people think that it can be made into exquisite handicrafts, and some people think that it has very important ecological functions and nursed back to health. Because people have different views and angles on this tree, the use value of this tree is very different, and so is writing articles. If you can't keep your eyes open and look at it from another angle, but stick to the rules, the result will be the same old tune, which is nothing new, just like looking at a tree and knowing that it can be used for cooking. Of course, to write an article that is "new", "special" and "strange" cannot be done simply from the perspective of transformation. It also requires the accumulation of personal knowledge, experience and accomplishment.
