As a central argument, famous sayings and sentences play an important role. When writing, I often encounter the problem that if I express an argument in my own language, it will often appear tedious and the words used are not satisfactory. However, if we can find a suitable quote to replace it, we will enter the realm of "a thousand troops are easy to get, but one will be hard to find". If you take famous words and sentences as the title of the article, you can often control the whole article from the meaning. For example, Zhang's article "Fear of mistakes is to undermine progress", entitled Whitehead's famous words, is full of philosophy, which makes the article appear clear-cut and targeted. A good topic can lay a good foundation for the following article writing and is an important part of the composition.
Famous sayings can also be used as arguments. For example, last year's college entrance examination composition, a candidate drew up the topic "transplanting memory ≠ acquisition ability" After discussing that "even if memory can really be transplanted, it can only be transplanted knowledge", the author flexibly puts forward the argument that "the paper is too shallow, so I know nothing", and thinks that transplanting memory can't improve my ability, even if I get some knowledge through transplanting memory, I can't improve my quality. Ability can only be cultivated in practice, don't imagine "grafting" out of thin air! The full text is progressive, rigorous in structure, clear in arguments and convincing, which really makes people realize the great role of famous aphorisms.
Quoting famous sayings and sentences as arguments in the discussion has achieved remarkable results. Because famous sayings are vivid and concise, they are very convincing and infectious. For example, "living with goodwill is like walking into Lan Zhi's room and not smelling it for a long time;" Living with the wicked is like being the boss of abalone. After a long time, you can't smell it. " This famous saying can not only be used as a powerful argument for the argument of "those who are close to ink are black", but also as an introduction to draw out their own comments, discussions and feelings, open up ideas and achieve the purpose of further discussion. For example, when discussing the argument that "suffering is a gift of life", Balzac's famous saying "misfortune is a stepping stone to genius, the baptism of believers, the priceless treasure of the strong and the bottomless pit of the weak" was quoted. At this time, we will naturally draw strength from famous sayings and realize the truth, and our own views on this issue will follow. In addition, famous sayings and sentences are embellishments in writing, which can add some bright colors to the article. For example, Wu Han's "Talking about Bones" quoted Wen Tianxiang's heroic deeds to discuss that when we China people have a backbone since ancient times, we quoted two of his poems: "No one has died since ancient times, so we should be deliberate." This poem strongly shows Wen Tianxiang's heroic spirit of righteously treating death as death, and devoting all his efforts to resisting Yuan and rejuvenating the country. Because poetry is very infectious, it enhances the emotional color of the article.
Pay attention to the accumulation and application of famous sayings and sentences. The key is to understand, and only after understanding can I use it at will. When using famous sayings and sentences as arguments, we must take accuracy as the premise, and we must not force them, so as not to make mistakes. When using famous sayings as arguments, we are required to have a very rich reserve in this respect and grasp its connotation very accurately. Only in this way can we use it properly and beautifully.
