"After middle age, I sort out my life experiences, and I have a question. When I was walking on the road, there were thorns in front. Why didn't the person in front tell me? There's a trap ahead. Why isn't anyone marking it? There is a fountain in front, why don't people who go to drink water invite me to go with them? "
Therefore, Mr. Wang Dingjun recorded his "thorns" and "sweet springs" in words.
He inspired others through words and formed his own unique literary creation style.
Everyone has had "thorns" and "sweet springs", but most people don't know how to express their connotations in words.
As the book "Writing General Course" says: "In the eyes of many people, writing is very difficult and challenging, and there is often no effective path."
The authors of this book are Woods Hu and Wang Sisi.
Woods Hu has 20 years of writing experience, published more than 2 million words in mainstream media, and set up a writing column in secretarial work.
Wang Sisi is a doctor of literature in Peking University and has published many academic papers in mainstream journals.
Compared with ordinary writing books, this book has profound thoughts.
Combining the problems and experience in practical work, the author teaches us how to use words and ideas organically to show our image, gain development opportunities and create a new situation in our work.
Not long after Xiao Li joined the company, the leader arranged for him to write a work report. Xiao Li collected the existing information of the unit and stayed up late to finish the work report.
The next day, the report was submitted to the leader, but was scolded by the leader.
Xiao Li is very sad. He doesn't know what the problem is. Later, after listening to the leader, I realized that I had written in the wrong direction.
If you don't know the intention and direction of writing an article, no matter how gorgeous the words are, they are like castles in the air, which is useless.
The book mentions a case in which three people do the same survey.
A only saw the superficial facts, while B further saw the hidden problems behind the facts. Besides, C also saw the development trend of things.
What can we do to find the direction of writing and achieve the same understanding as C? Three methods are given in the book.
First, go back to the origin of things.
Think about what this article is for and what it will do.
For example, the work report that the leader asked Xiao Li to write, on the one hand, summed up the past experience, on the other hand, guided the next work.
Xiao Li only saw the surface layer and piled up the original materials, which deviated from the writing intention of the work report.
Second, improve theoretical literacy and thinking ability.
Take first-hand information as the starting point. Carry out special research, conduct in-depth investigation and study, and obtain first-hand information.
Live a normal life and be a man with a conscience. Understand the actual situation of work in many ways and through many channels, such as chatting with others frequently and understanding the fragmented information.
And the authenticity of the obtained materials is improved. Peel off the cocoon and find the essence of things.
Third, goal orientation.
I want to understand the purpose of writing in advance, take the goal as the guide, and push the direction of writing back.
Writing an article is like sailing in the sea. Only by knowing the direction in the voyage can we reach the final shore.
The professor in the book gives the writer some methods to explore the experience in practice, helping the writer to avoid detours on the road of writing.
The author summed up eight ways to improve writing learning ability, among which three things impressed me the most.
The first point is from copying to writing.
Mr. Lu Xun believes that "the style can be in the form of Zhang San, the structure can be integrated with Lisi's skeleton, the content can involve Wang Wu's coverage, the language can learn from Liu Zhao's brilliance, and then optimize the combination and innovate, so that the quotation should be extensive, the quotation is not single, and the imitation is invisible."
For beginners in writing, they often go into a misunderstanding, commit utilitarianism, apply things directly, and finally end up copying.
Mr. Lu Xun's opinion tells us that before copying, we should study all kinds of articles extensively.
Learn to integrate, absorb the essence and turn it into your own knowledge output, which is the highest realm from copying to writing.
Second, practice makes perfect.
Some writers think that their writing will be improved through more practice. However, after a year or two of freelance writing, I found myself still standing still, and my heart began to be confused. Is it really useful to write more?
More practice is not only an increase in quantity, but also a qualitative exercise. Only by combining quantity and quality can we get real gains and improvements.
The author gives four exercise methods.
One is to practice in a planned way, not blindly.
The second is to concentrate on practice, not to disperse it.
The third is thinking and practice, not casual practice.
Fourth, practice with goals, not just for practice.
Third, from the inside out.
There is an old saying: "It is better to study for ten years than to listen to you."
Learn to write, ask experts with questions, and break through the dilemma of narrow knowledge.
After writing an article, it will benefit a lot to ask more experts to help revise it.
This book has its own golden house. Read more, enhance cultural connotation, and spread charm unconsciously in writing.
There is a golden sentence: "Although life has an end, words can travel through time and space."
How many literary masters are isolated from the world, but the words left behind are unforgettable.
Their greatness lies in their ability to transform their accumulated knowledge, thinking ability and innovation ability into classics that will be told through the ages.
So, how can we have this transformation ability and let our thinking go up a storey still higher?
The first is to use philosophical thinking.
It is mentioned in the book that "philosophy is a subject that needs to be mastered in particular, and it is the basis of ideological strength." Looking at the essence through the phenomenon with philosophical thinking can make us think more deeply about the root of the problem.
The second is to be good at using the "outside brain".
Everyone has limited ability and limited thinking. Usually pay attention to communication and discussion with others, absorb other people's opinions, choose and make good use of them, and turn them into your own wisdom.
The third is to experience from practice.
Practice is the best touchstone, and the true meaning of the problem is found in practice.
Xie Youshun, a literary critic, believes that "reading is not only reading, but also reading the earth, mountains and rivers and everything in the world. Even this energy can teach a person how to create better. "
It is mentioned in the book that "it is not difficult to get started in writing, but it is difficult to break through and innovate". This is also the most troublesome part of the screenwriter. China has a profound language and culture, but there are no words that can make the article stand out.
The author believes that "the foothold of innovation is to solve problems and integrate one's true feelings and ideal thinking, and innovation has a deep source and strong motivation."
Li Yu, a writer in the Qing Dynasty, said, "The new meaning comes first, the new language comes last, and the new sentence comes last."
It means that the most important thing in a good article is innovation.
In writing, we should be good at connecting with reality, changing perspectives, expanding our thinking and breaking away from convention, so as to create unique viewpoints.
Writing is a kind of life practice.
Improving writing ability is actually expanding thinking ability.
Use words that travel through time and space to keep your thoughts in the world forever.
"Writing General Course" teaches us more than just the improvement of thinking. The book also details the standard of a good article, the core elements of writing and the basic steps of writing.
The author passes on his practical experience to readers without reservation, and also quotes China's classical literature and celebrity stories.
This is a meaningful writing book and worth reading. Everyone who wants to improve himself through writing must not miss this book.
