If the article does not have a clear central meaning, it will become an unpretentious soldier and a rabble, so writing articles should be clear, concentrated and profound; When reading an article, we should perceive the article as a whole and refine its main idea.
Summarizing the central meaning of the article and refining the main idea of the article is actually the cultivation of the overall reading ability.
First of all, refining the theme can generally be divided into two steps:
(1) Read the full text to understand the content and main idea of the article.
(2) Refine and summarize the main idea.
For example, reciting Mao Zedong's "Spring in Changsha Garden", from the description of autumn scenery in Changsha and the memories of the revolutionary struggle life in his youth, we can read out the lofty aspirations of revolutionary youth to take the world as their own responsibility and transform old China. After reading Happy for Yourself, you will understand "Happy with a clear conscience for your ordinary and substantial existence"! ……
Second, refining the main idea of the article can start from the following aspects:
(A) pay attention to the characteristics of different styles
To grasp the main idea of narrative, we can start with the development of characters, plots or events, and the relationship between scenes and emotions. The main idea of general discussion should grasp the most telling things and clarify the essential content of things; When summarizing the main idea, an argumentative essay should closely follow the words that can best express the author's views and opinions.
Read the full text carefully and find out the key sentences.
The central meaning of the article is expressed through the choice of materials, the layout of the article and the choice of words and sentences. It dominates the whole article, permeates the full-text materials, and is often reflected in some key sentences. Therefore, to summarize the central meaning of the article is inseparable from finding the most expressive key sentences on the basis of familiarity with the full text and analysis of the structure of the article.
(three) to understand the background of the work and the author's state of mind.
The article is the reflection of social objective reality in the author's mind and the product of the author's feelings. Any work inevitably bears the brand of the times and permeates the author's subjective understanding. Therefore, understanding the background of the work and the author's life experience and ideological status is also an important way to summarize the center of the article.
(D) the use of comparative methods to improve the accuracy of grasping the theme of the article
Comparison is the basis of understanding and thinking. Comparing articles with different themes or similar themes but different themes, styles and techniques, finding out their similarities or differences and exploring their reasons can help us grasp and refine the theme of the articles more deeply and accurately.
Refining the theme of the article is the embodiment of the overall reading ability, which needs us to consciously cultivate and improve in the long-term Chinese learning practice.
