Chapter 114 Sublimate the theme and set off a climax of the speech

The theme of the speech is an important basis to reflect the ideological value and aesthetic taste of the speech, so that the speech has a profound and touching artistic charm.However, the theme of the speech cannot be reduced to empty preaching, listing of phenomena, and platitudes. The correct way is to use typical and sufficient materials to express the theme of the speech, analyze, summarize, refine, and extend the essential connotation of the materials in a timely manner, and use rational language to instruct and render to arouse the psychological resonance of the audience. The audience's thinking is led to a deeper and more sublime realm, which sublimates the theme of the speech.How can we sublimate the theme of the speech?

The factual materials in the speech are flexible and diverse, such as a personal experience, a short story, a description of a character, or even a few words of a character, etc. Although these are individual but typical materials, they can often become sublimation speeches. The "point" of the topic.From the description of "this one" fact to the generalization that includes all or part of the factual connotation of "this type", it is the technique of expanding the topic of the speech from point to point. Some factual materials that contain deep meaning, without breaking through, the audience may not be able to understand the gist of the speaker, but once the speaker reveals and refines it, it is like discovering shining gold in the gravel, and discovering it in a shell. Crystal pearls are found in it, which is inspiring and thought-provoking.This method of sublimating the expression of internal thoughts or deep meanings from the description of external actions or objective facts is the technique of deepening and sublimating the theme from the outside to the inside.

In a speech, sometimes a typical event or natural phenomenon can be used as a trigger point and medium to extend it, and connect to another type of related things and events, so as to sublimate the theme of the speech.This technique of sublimating the theme derived from one another, through visual rendering, can not only enlighten the wisdom and insight of the audience, but also create a realm and atmosphere full of philosophical beauty. In the speech, it is also a good technique to sublimate the theme by applying imitation of some past materials, and carrying out enlightenment from Chen and Xin to dig out the profound connotation with practical significance.

In the speech, the typical events that occurred in real life are rendered to create a situation closely related to the topic, and thus touch the scene and blend the scenes to achieve the effect of sublimating the topic of the speech. The climax in a speech is often the key to sublimating the theme, and the proper use of the contrast technique from restraint to rise can make the expression of emotion and reason focused on the climax more effective, thereby sublimating the theme of the speech. The speaker pushes the boat against the current, advances with retreat, first sets up a premise that is opposite to the conclusion, "suppresses" as much as possible, and then uses negative conclusions to build up momentum for the conclusion's "raise", and finally "raises" naturally, Such a contrast from restraint to restraint pushed the speech to a climax and sublimated the theme.

How to sublimate the theme is an important skill in the art of speech eloquence.Making good use of this technique can not only set off ups and downs in the speech, but also form a harmonious echo and emotional resonance between the speaker and the audience, enhancing the appeal, agitation and artistic charm of the speech.
