Association is a psychological process that people think of another related thing from one thing according to some connection between things. It is a kind of thinking activity from one thing to another. Composition is inseparable from association. With association, we can connect everything in the world, thus making our thinking more active, broadening our horizons, enriching the content of the article, making our thinking more ingenious and making our language more vivid. First, association can trigger thoughts and emotions. Thoughts and emotions are the soul of an article. Thoughts and emotions come from the collision between life and the author's mind, and the bridge connecting life and the author's mind is association. Therefore, without association, it is difficult to produce thoughts and feelings; Rich associations, rich thoughts and feelings. Lenovo is the initiator of thoughts and feelings. It's really unnoticeable that the small dew is left to its own devices. Tian Xiaofei, on the other hand, associated it with ordinary, pure and silent people, so he had feelings of reverence and praise, and wrote a fresh and beautiful poem "Lou". (See the fourth volume of senior high school) Poplar trees on the Loess Plateau are really common. However, association has shaken the writer Mao Dun's heart: doesn't its straight trunk, all upward branches and anti-northwest wind symbolize the simple, United and unyielding spirit of farmers in the north? So the famous prose "Praise of Poplar" was born. When people associate it with study and work, they will have the idea that "perseverance can succeed". From the phenomenon that the dike of a thousand miles is destroyed by the ant nest to the growth of people, there will be a view that "don't do it with small evils"; When the sunset is associated with people's old age, it will produce the sadness of "to see the sun, for all his glory, buried by the coming night". Yu Dafu, a famous writer, famously said, "A grain of gravel sees the world, and half a petal of flowers says human feelings", which vividly illustrates the role of association in arousing thoughts and feelings. Second, Lenovo can expand the thinking of composition. Without association, the thinking of composition will stick to the immediate life and will not break the limitation of time and space, reflecting that the world of life is bound to be narrow. With association, the idea of composition is like growing wings, which can cross the time limit, break through the barrier of space and reflect the infinite world of life. Mr. Zhu Ziqing's "Green" is a model of expanding ideas with the help of association. At first, the author focuses on the overall characteristics of Meiyu pond, launches a similar association, and writes the color, texture and shape characteristics of the green pond surface of Meiyu pond with "a huge lotus leaf paved". On this basis, the author further extends his thinking, focusing on ripples, waves and colors, and vividly shows the green beauty of Meiyu Pool through similar associations. Through comparison and association, the author extends his thinking to a new level. He thought of Qingyang in Shichahai, Beijing, the "green wall" of Hupao Temple in Hangzhou, the blue waves of West Lake and the green water of Qinhuai River. By comparison, it shows that only Meiyu pond is suitable for shade, with moderate light and shade. At this point, it seems that the green of Meiyu pool has been written enough, and there is no way to go. However, Lenovo has expanded the author's thinking to a new level: it is associated with "a light dancer" and "a blind girl who sings well", and the beauty of green is integrated with the beauty of female images. Finally, the author associates the overall image of a lovely 12-year-old girl. At this time, the green has been completely personalized in the author's mind, and the green in front of him is completely integrated with the imaginary image of the little girl, and the author's feelings have been completely sublimated. Argumentative writing can expand association, broaden ideas, enrich content and enhance the power of argument. For example, it is too superficial to simply affirm that "opening books is beneficial" and give several examples to prove it. First of all, we should think of the origin of "opening books is beneficial", put forward the background of this view and clarify its own significance. Then, in connection with the promotion of cultural knowledge to human beings, this paper thinks about the characteristics of the era of knowledge explosion and rapid social development, and discusses the benefits of "opening books". Reminiscent that some people are suffering from reading superstitious, pornographic and reactionary books, it is pointed out that "quantity" needs to be chosen, otherwise it will be of no benefit. Then I thought of some "bookworms" who study hard, are greedy and don't digest, so I pointed out that "opening books" should be good at thinking and pay attention to methods. On this basis, we can also think of those who read books, reading is the purpose, and point out that "opening books" should be planned and have a clear purpose. The association here has well expanded the train of thought, and made a comprehensive and scientific analysis of the incomplete and unscientific topic of "opening books is beneficial", which is fully demonstrated and convincing. Third, Lenovo can collect composition materials and bring up compositions. Students often feel "nothing to write" and "nothing to say". There are two reasons for this: one is that there are really not many materials preserved, and the other is that there are materials but they are not good at mobilizing and looking for them. In fact, a middle school student who has lived for more than ten years and read hundreds of articles should not have nothing to say. The main reason is that he is not good at association and can't mobilize the materials stored in his brain in time. If we master the weapon of Lenovo and truly understand Wan Li for thousands of years, there will be endless words and inexhaustible materials. For example, to write the composition "In the Rain", we should start with relevant associations: ① Campus in the rain, fields in the rain, people in the rain; (2) Outside the classroom, my father (or mother) waited for me to finish school in the rain with an umbrella; (3) The whole group of students take turns to take XX students home with broken legs; (4) XX students catch up with Teacher XX in the rain and give her (or him) an umbrella. Expand similar association from ③ to ④, and think of similar things to help others; (5) On the street, a red scarf covered the umbrella on the head of an unknown grandmother who was drenched by rain; 6. A classmate helped her little classmate who fell to the ground, gave her an umbrella and sent her home. You can also expand the opposite association through 34566 and think of the opposite side of "helping others": ⑦ A classmate covered his face with a rain hat, holding a stack of exercise books in his hands, and a teacher who didn't have an umbrella passed by; ⑧ Several big classmates laughed when they saw a little classmate slipping in the mud. After such association, don't you have a lot of materials to choose from? Another example is to write an argumentative essay, "Diligence can make up for it". First of all, we will start to relate it to time, and we will think of Monroe's ambition to learn, which makes people sit up and take notice. Yan ruoqu was "stupid", painstakingly drilled into history and eventually became a scholar; Zhang Xuecheng is "stupid", eager to learn, and finally achieves something; Tong Dizhou studied hard and got the first grade. If you start geographical association, you will think of Witt, Edison, Darwin and so on. Abroad. Study hard when the reaction is late, and eventually become an example for everyone. Besides, we can also think of Fang Zhongyong, who thinks he is clever, but doesn't study hard, and as a result, he becomes mediocre and incompetent. In this way, from the time and space, the positive and negative directions of association, the materials stored in the brain will emerge continuously for you to choose and listen to your disposal, thus writing articles with rich content, sufficient arguments and persuasiveness. Fourthly, association can build a bridge for reference writing. Students' compositions are often trapped in layout, beginning and end, and it is difficult to find suitable expressions. The important reason here is the lack of association. If we expand the association, we will build a bridge between the topic and the model essay and find a suitable writing method. Such as layout planning. When writing a narrative, you can associate it with a precious shirt and adopt a "linked" structure: seeing things and thinking about people → associating memories → seeing things and discussing people, and summarize the whole article. When we think of litchi honey, we can learn from the structure of "emotional change": the generation of hate → the desalination of hate → the initiation of love → the development of love → the deepening of love. Describing scenery and expressing emotions can be linked with spring, adopting the structure of "seeking feelings": the origin of emotions → the accumulation of emotions → from emotions to people → the conclusion of emotions. When writing an argumentative essay, we can link it with "Yi Li, Textual Research and Zhang Ci" and learn from the parallel structure: introduction → this thesis (argument 1 ‖ argument 2 ‖ argument 3) → conclusion. It can also be associated with "if you say it, you must say it" and adopt a hierarchical structure: ask questions → analyze problems (argument 1 → argument 2 → argument 3) → solve problems. When we write landscapes, we can think of Zhu Ziqing's method of writing plum rain pool's multi-level development in green: overall description → specific description → association foil → imagination sublimation. At the same time, learn multi-angle and multi-faceted description and comprehensive use of various rhetorical devices. When writing about the inner activities of characters, we can associate them with mothers, and we can learn from various means of describing psychological activities: action description, emotional description, illusion description, inner monologue and scene comparison. In a word, when you write, you will see all kinds of model essays and expressions constantly emerging for your choice and reference. Fifth, association can enrich the composition language, and the lack of vivid language is manifested as the lack of ideological content; The dullness of language is manifested in the dullness of thought. Association can activate thinking and enrich thinking, thus making the language of the article colorful and lively. Lenovo can fully mobilize the vocabulary stored in the brain and make the language of the article rich and colorful. Comrade Mao Zedong used idioms such as "casting pearls before swine" and "winning the battle" in "Opposing stereotyped Party writing". Use proverbs such as "watching food and doing what you can"; The use of two-part allegorical sayings such as "the foot-binding of a lazy woman is long and smelly" makes the language of the article humorous and makes people never tire of reading it. Association can make language vivid. Some people think that in Song Qi's "Jade Tower Spring", "the branches of red apricots are in trouble in spring". It is from the immediate spring that the author thinks of the warm atmosphere and moving scenes of people's festivals such as the Lantern Festival, and thinks that the word "lively" cannot express the scene in front of him and the feelings in his heart. It can be seen that the word "noisy" is the crystallization of association. The word "green" in Wang Anshi's Spring Breeze and Green Jiang Nanan is modified from more than ten words such as "to", "to" and "to". It is also the author's choice to link the spring breeze with the sight of a hundred flowers sprouting in spring and a thousand miles of new green on the riverbank, thus transforming the invisible spring breeze into a vivid visual image and making the realm of poetry emerge. Rhetoric is an important means to make language vivid, and association is the basic thinking mode of rhetoric formation. Mr. Zhu Ziqing started a similar association from the faint, thin and intermittent lotus fragrance, and thought of the faint singing on the distant high building, thus forming an apt and vivid metaphor. "Some pine trees can't see you through autumn water. They climbed alone and looked sideways. " The author develops similar associations from the shape of a tree tilted from a height, thinking of the expectation and waiting of many lovers, thus forming personification, vividly showing the amorous and natural interest of Taishan pine trees. "Many scholars in Marxism–Leninism also said that they must be called Greeks. They are sorry for their ancestors and forgot. " The author makes relevant associations, from western culture to Greek culture, from China history to our ancestors, forming a metonymy, vivid humor and vividly criticizing the dogmatic tendency of not paying attention to the study of China's history and present situation. "Five Ridges make waves, while Wumeng makes clay balls". The author starts from "Five Ridges" and "Wumeng" and thinks of tiny "small waves" and "clay balls", which forms exaggeration and well shows the tall image of the Red Army. Visible, rich association, rich language, vivid and expressive. Composition is inseparable from association, but association is based on rich accumulation. Therefore, we must attach importance to accumulation, to the accumulation of life, to the accumulation of emotions, to the accumulation of knowledge and to the accumulation of language, so that Lenovo's wings can fly high and far, and we can write touching articles.
