Chapter 50 writing practice

Some people say: "Writing depends on genius." In fact, this is not entirely true. What is the so-called genius?The definition of genius is one point of inspiration (Insperation) and nine points of perspiration (Perspiration). This sentence means to write more and read more. Regarding reading more, you should read both Chinese and foreign books, not only literature, but also psychology, natural science, social science, etc., with the attitude of "opening the book is beneficial".Hu Shizhi and Liang Rengong both have must-read books for young people, and they have to choose to read.

Because reading more can: 1. Expand emotional experience, so that things that have not been experienced can be experienced from books. 2. Learn to use words. To write, using words is just like a key to unlock a lock.Let’s take a fact: once I was on a ship, I lost the lock and key, and I couldn’t open the box no matter what, and then I found a person who specializes in unlocking the lock. The person's box, sure enough, my box was also opened.This word is like a key that can unlock many problems. Third, use metaphors.People who can make speeches mostly use metaphors to describe abstract things with concrete things. For example, Confucius said that "the faults of a gentleman are like the eclipse of the sun and the moon." An eclipse-like manifestation is visible to all.Another example is that when Jesus talked about the kingdom of heaven, he also compared the kingdom of heaven to specific things.

In addition to the above, an author should also: 1. Get closer to senior writers and talk to them more, because talking is also an art. A person who is full of enthusiasm has powerful words, and a person who is full of imagination talks very well. Beauty, a person with a clear mind, his conversation is orderly; these three are the three most important conditions for writing.It makes you feel relaxed, happy and meaningful after listening to it. 2. Get to know more people of different genders and different professions, especially doctors, lawyers and psychologists, and listen to their experiences.Once, I was on a train and met several Air Force fighters, so I asked them, "When you fly your planes into the air to fight against enemy planes, how do you feel? Are you as heroic as most people think? Is that glorious?" His answer was: "There is something there, when the enemy planes are coming to bomb us, we have to fill up the gasoline, put on the clothes, equip the fighting tools, and then sit in the In the machine room, the flywheel was kept steady, and the time was fixed. One point, two points, three points, five points, ten points, twenty points were waiting. The eyes could not be opened, the head could not be moved, and the limbs could not even be stretched. As numb as a piece of wood, the enemy plane takes off when it is close to the sky. When chasing and fighting, it is neither fearful nor heroic. It is objective, not subjective. It is imaginary, not empirical.

3. Travel more and see landscapes and scenery; everything in cities and villages, you can see more backgrounds of things, and collect more rich materials for writing.For example, the customs, human relations, and habits of various places are worthy of the author's study and precious. Speaking of writing more, writing more is as important as reading more. 1. Write regardless of genre when you feel like it - when you feel something, write it down immediately, and save it for later arrangement. 2. Don't write about anything other than your experience—you must write about the facts within your experience, otherwise, it will be too risky.

3. Careful observation - Every move, every move, every word, and every word of a writing subject must be carefully observed and analyzed, not only for big things, but also for small things, not knowing the surface, but also the inner heart, especially pay attention to the aftermath of the words background and responses. Fourth, practice perception-this is also an important condition in writing. aVision—pay attention to form and color, etc. For example, white people, white horses, white jade and red cloth, red velvet, and red silk, although they are all white and red, there is a big difference between them.

b Hearing—When you talk to others, pay attention to the tone and words, and even when you are alone, you should pay attention to the sounds of your surroundings.For example, Qiu Sheng Fu is completely a description of various sounds. c Sense of smell - like fragrance, smell, pungent, spicy, and you must be able to describe it. d Taste - To distinguish the taste of various foods, for example, which kind of thing is sweet and how sweet it is, which kind of thing is bitter and how bitter it is. e skin feeling - such as hot and cold, loose, tight, thick and thin, dry and wet, etc., and it must be described.

The last is the self-cultivation of the author.An author must have his author's style, and each author has his own special style.Generally speaking, there are two definitions of style: 1. The author uses appropriate words in appropriate places. Second, the style is to represent the writer himself, in other words, to write like a person. Therefore, if a writer wants to develop his style, he must first develop a calm mind, a serious life and a noble personality. 1. The writer should present the problem, not solve it.That is to say, writers should look at society from an objective standpoint, dissect society, and expose the darkness of society.Just like Ibsen's Nora, it's just a presentation of women's issues.So when the women invited him to a banquet, he only said one sentence:

"When I wrote Nora, I didn't think about you." Second, don't write articles after having doctrines, because doctrines first will control everything about you. It is best to base your articles on what happened first. 3. Don’t be driven by subjective enthusiasm, but write literary and artistic works with propaganda slogans.It makes people see clichés and stereotypes. It is said that a so-and-so old man had a few acres of land for Zhang San to cultivate. Every time he asked for grain, Zhang San always killed chickens for him to eat, but there was an exception that he did not kill the chickens, so the old man became angry. So he wrote seven big characters on the wall, "This field is not with Zhang Sansan". Zhang San saw it, and quickly killed a chicken and sent it. Who?" In one sentence, Zhang San was very surprised when he saw it, so he asked him what he meant?The old man said: "The last sentence is about talking without a chicken, and the next sentence is about seeing a chicken." They both laughed dumbly.What this article talks about is also nonsense, and I hope readers see the "opportunity" and write it.
