If you want to write a good theoretical article, you must first understand the nature and characteristics of the theoretical article. Theoretical articles are written to study a theoretical problem, discuss a certain truth and express personal opinions, and are an important means to publicize the party's theory, line, principles and policies. Such as comments, essays, investigation reports, experiences, etc. are all categories of theoretical articles.

Specifically, it has four characteristics. Namely, reality, politics, theory and logic.

Reality and politics are the remarkable characteristics that distinguish theoretical articles from academic papers. Theoretical articles serve to explore and solve various social problems in real life, and also directly serve politics. Integrating theory with practice is its lifeline. It is the value of the theoretical article to provide the basis for the decision-making of leading organs.

Theory and logic. In order to convince people by reasoning, theoretical articles must use formal logic and dialectical logic to judge and reason. Convince people with reason, convince people with reason, convince people with reason. This is its logic.

Second, the rules and requirements of theoretical article writing.

First, the topic of the article is accurate. Writing an article and choosing the right topic is the first thing. Theme is the core and soul of the article. Of course, it is not difficult to determine the theme of the article. Choosing a theme and extracting the core content of this theme is the theme of an article. The difficulty lies in whether this theme is correct, novel and practical.

First, explore the theme from practice. Where does the theme of the theoretical article come from? Not from the mind, but from reality. Some readers are not interested in theoretical articles, not because the theory itself has no charm, but because the theoretical articles are too far away from practice and the masses. If the contents of theoretical articles are mostly issues that the masses do not care about or are not interested in, even if they are well written, the masses are too lazy to pay attention. This requires that theoretical articles should be integrated with practice and give powerful answers to hot, difficult and doubtful questions that people care about, so as to guide the work, clarify right and wrong, and solve doubts and doubts.

The specific criteria of topic selection are new, small and practical. Innovation is a new viewpoint, a new angle, not a repetition of others' viewpoints, nor a proof of old viewpoints with new materials; Small is a small incision, a small theme, starting from a small place, and seeing the big from the small; Simple, practical, practical, derived from life, guiding life.

Second, draw up a concise title. The so-called good topic should not only accurately grasp the problem, but also pay attention to written expression, and strive to be accurate, concise, distinctive and distinctive. In addition, the subtitle in the text of the article is also particular. Don't be too long, try to be short, powerful and neat, make people look beautiful, easy to read and remember, and condense the essence.

Second, the collection of materials should be refined. Generally, it is obtained through consulting literature, in-depth investigation and the accumulation of daily study and life experience. To write a good theoretical article, we must first collect materials around the theme of the theoretical article, and then select and sort out materials according to the needs of the theme.

There are many ways to collect information, including making cards, taking notes, cutting and pasting newspapers and periodicals, etc. It should be noted that the collected materials should be carefully read and studied to distinguish the authenticity, novelty and typicality of the materials. Through the analysis and induction of the materials, the ideological understanding obtained from the materials is concentrated and deepened, and a profound understanding and one's own views are gradually formed.

Third, the layout of the article should be clever. First, the thinking should be clever. Generally speaking, to write a theoretical article, you usually have to jump three times in your mind before you start writing. The first jump is to meet something meaningful, which leads to an important and urgent topic. When my heart jumps, if I choke, I won't spit. The second jump is to think about this topic comprehensively and deeply, and realize some truth, hoping to inspire people; The third jump is to jump again on the basis of the first two jumps and jump out a good title.

Second, the structure should be exquisite. Generally speaking, the orderly structure of theoretical articles is to internally link the introduction, theory, conclusion and logical relationship into a whole. This structure is orderly because it conforms to the cognitive order of people who ask questions, analyze problems and solve problems. Among them, introduction is to ask questions and arouse people's thinking, thus leading to orthodoxy. Orthodoxy is to analyze the problem, around the theme, one layer at a time, one aspect at a time to prompt the essence and crux of the problem. The conclusion is to solve the problem, is the natural continuation of orthodox theory, and is the conclusion after argumentation, that is, the conclusion.

The third point is the technique of beginning and ending. Start short and solve the problem as soon as possible. From the author's point of view, it should be both wonderful and convenient for the following; Can set the tone and promote the meaning of the text. From the reader's point of view, we should not only take warning, but also be fascinating. The ending is usually natural and powerful. From the author's point of view, a good ending is the inevitable conclusion of the development of the full text, which is very important for comprehensively and profoundly displaying the text ideas. There are full-text endings, lingering endings and futuristic endings, so I won't give examples one by one.

Fourth, the language expression should be realistic. Accuracy, conciseness and popularity should also be the characteristics of theoretical articles. The close combination of theoretical viewpoints and practical materials not only has strong theoretical color and strong speculative power, but also is easy to understand and persuasive.

First, language popularization. To popularize profound theories, we must study the popular language hard.

Second, make good use of metaphors and allusions. Vivid metaphors and allusions can connect the rational world with the perceptual world. As long as it is used properly, it will pierce this layer of "enough paper" in an instant and build a "bridge" of communication, which is not only easy to understand, but also can increase literary talent.

Third, try to be concise and clear. When writing theoretical articles, we should also be good at using the laws from simple to complex and from complex to simple, and strive to teach the masses profound and complex truths in concise and easy-to-understand language.

As a district and township level, we write theoretical articles, not work summaries or typical communication materials. We can abstract some regular new knowledge and new ideas from work summary and typical materials, and prove them with some examples in practical work. Therefore, our theoretical articles can be between summary materials and papers, focusing on one aspect, as long as they can inspire people.

Third, the requirements of theoretical article writing for the author.

If you want to write a good article, the author must first understand the problems he wants to discuss. Only by in-depth understanding can we be simple in expression. We must insist on not doing articles that are incomprehensible, unclear, unable to write, and echoing others.
