How to find a suitable topic Some people say that choosing the right topic is equivalent to completing half the paper. This may be extreme, but it is not unreasonable, because the topic selection really determines the value of the paper to a great extent, and it is also related to the success or failure of the research. The so-called "choosing the right topic" includes two meanings: one is that the topic has the necessity of research, and the other is that the topic has the feasibility of research. Regarding the former, there are many references in the teacher's article. This is mainly about the latter, and we are only talking about some specific details. A meaningful and valuable topic, if it does not have the feasibility of research, that is to say, it does not have the conditions for research, it cannot be used as the topic of graduation thesis. In the writing of graduation thesis, the following conditions should be considered when considering whether a topic is suitable. First of all, the data condition is the most important, so it is also the most worthy condition. Information is the basis of scientific research and academic viewpoints. Writing a thesis and doing research cannot be separated from information, which is not readily available, and the information conditions are different for everyone. There are many kinds of scientific research materials. For students majoring in Chinese language and literature, the most commonly used materials are literature materials. Everyone is in a specific living environment, and the library and information institutions that can be used frequently are limited, so it is impossible for any library and information institution to cover everything. Therefore, when choosing a topic, we should consider whether we can get the information we need and whether the information obtained through hard work is complete and sufficient. Secondly, the time conditions and the guidance conditions of the tutor are also factors that need to be considered when selecting the topic. The writing of a paper is a process, and whether there are sufficient time conditions is directly related to the completion and quality of the paper. Graduation thesis is usually required to be completed in a limited time, which requires the author to fully consider the time conditions when selecting the topic, and measure whether the size and difficulty of the topic are appropriate according to the time conditions. In order to make the writing time of the paper as abundant as possible, the sooner the topic is selected, the better, but this does not mean that the earlier the better. Choosing a topic too early, lacking in-depth understanding of one's major, failing to reach a certain level of professional knowledge, and being blind in choosing a topic, it is difficult to find a really ideal topic. When to choose and determine the appropriate topic of the thesis depends on the author's professional course study. Take undergraduates as an example. Most people should consider the topic of their thesis from the second and third grades, at least have a general research direction, and then keep thinking and accumulating in the process of learning. After the preparation is mature, they should concentrate on writing and finish their papers in two or three months. Many colleges and universities arrange college students' graduation thesis writing in the last semester, only for about ten weeks. It is obviously unrealistic to complete all the work from topic selection to writing within this time. In addition, the choice of paper topics is not always in place at one time, and sometimes there will be changes or adjustments, which makes it more necessary to leave room for time. Tutor's guidance condition is a very important condition for young students and all those who lack research experience. If you feel that you lack research experience and are not sure to complete the research independently, you must pay special attention to the conditions of your tutor. It is impossible for an expert in any subject to know everything and do everything. Choosing a topic in the professional field that the tutor is familiar with is easy to get more specific and detailed guidance. The main task of the graduation thesis instructor is to guide students to determine the topic of the thesis, make a list of references, help students to make a writing plan, review the opening report and the outline of the thesis, answer difficult questions and review the thesis. Experienced instructors can always guide students to do a good job at every stage, so that students' potential can be maximized. Finally, the ability to control problems is a factor that cannot be ignored when choosing topics. The ability to control problems mentioned here is mainly from the perspective of whether the size of the research topic is moderate. The length of graduation thesis at different levels usually has different regulations. Generally speaking, the length of graduation thesis is relatively long. Because of this, if the research problem is too small, it is difficult to have room for expansion, and the papers written often give people a feeling of being cumbersome, complicated and "making a mountain out of a molehill". On the contrary, if the topic is too big and the author's research ability and experience are not enough, it is impossible to study the problem deeply and thoroughly, and the papers written are often superficial and vague, giving people a feeling of "big topic and small work". It should be said that the topic of graduation thesis is too big and too small, which is not conducive to writing high-level articles. Comparatively speaking, for young students, especially college students and even graduate students, "small problems" are easier to control than "big problems", and "making a mountain out of a molehill" is better than "making a mountain out of a molehill". In order to prevent "minor problems", it is very important to define the subject well. Through the limitation of the topic, the problem to be solved is concentrated on one point, which is conducive to in-depth analysis, extensive solicitation, in-depth discussion of the problem, and the article is written in depth. Wei, a A Qing dynasty man, said: A good writer can delete that meaning when he wants to make a speech; When he is not giving a speech, he can delete that topic. In thesis writing, "deleting questions" means deleting unnecessary questions and concentrating all research and argumentation on one point. Some students who lack research experience don't know how to limit the topic, and often take an amazing question as the topic of their thesis. For example, there is a student who is only interested in one aspect of Lu Xun's prose and has opinions, but his article is called "On Lu Xun's Creation". Obviously, it is unrealistic to complete such a big topic in a college student's graduation thesis. Since it is On Lu Xun's Creation, the content of the article should be all-encompassing, and all aspects of Lu Xun's creation should be discussed, at least. As a result, his original views on a certain issue have not been fully expounded, or even completely submerged, and the content of the article is very mediocre. If the author can limit the topic layer by layer, he may get a more suitable topic: Lu Xun's creation theory-on Lu Xun's prose-on the artistic characteristics of Lu Xun's prose-on the deep and implicit artistic characteristics of Lu Xun's prose. If it is still difficult to study all Lu Xun's prose works, he can only take Weeds, a collection of essays that highlights this artistic feature, as the research object, and finally set the research topic as Deep Weeds.
