Chapter 145 talk about prose

I like to read prose very much, and I also like to write prose very much. The reason why I like to write prose is also because I have insufficient artistic accomplishment in other literary forms, such as poetry, drama, etc., and it is difficult to write.Prose is relatively free, and it is easy to use it to express your local impressions at the time. It is brisk and flexible, and can be long or short.There are endless new people and new things, like the brilliant morning clouds and sunsets, the colors and shapes change rapidly, just lower your head to write a few words, and when you raise your head, you will have a completely new look!In order to reflect the new things of the times as quickly and economically as possible, I think it is necessary to write more prose.

Although prose is not bound by formal standards and has a wide range, it is not often possible to write a really good prose, nor is it often seen.Chairman Mao taught us in "Opposition Party Stereotypes": "Articles are the reflection of objective things, and things are tortuous and complicated. Only by repeated research can they be properly reflected..." My experience is that we must have a good understanding of the things reflected. To know, to have feelings, to understand the twists and turns of the road.There must be political standards for measuring the good, evil, beauty and ugliness of things.With a correct vision, a clear distinction between what to like and what to hate, and the combination of emotion and text, the written things will naturally be vivid and powerful, and will arouse the sympathy of readers.

I have read many wonderful essays, such as "One Day in the Volunteer Army", "Memoirs of the Revolution", "Notes of the Party Secretary" and so on.The people who wrote these articles are not writers, but they are all figures who stand on the front lines of revolutionary struggle and production struggle and share weal and woe with the masses of the people.Their experiences are so precious, their memories are so sweet, and their words are written from the heart, sincere and natural, full of the power of inspiring and educating people. Judging from these articles, I feel that anyone who has struggle experience, sincere feelings, and a certain level of education can write prose.In fact, prose is no different from other literary forms. People who can write, everyone writes every day, students write essays, cadres write reports to make a summary... We are writing diaries and letters every day, and there will be miscellaneous feelings in it. There are book reviews, travel notes, and political comments... The question is whether the thinking is correct, and whether the writing skills are good.Once the political stance is correct, writing skills are relatively easy to obtain.Our country is a country with a tradition of prose. There are so many ancient prose that we can learn from. As long as we can distinguish what is the essence and what is the dross, it is beneficial to read ancient books.There are also many wonderful prose in modern times, needless to say Mr. Lu Xun's essays.Laughing and cursing, full of joy, is unique in its profundity and sharpness.Contemporary prose writers, such as Liu Baiyu, Wu Han, Wei Wei, Yang Shuo, Guo Feng, etc., also have their own styles, and their articles are often published in newspapers and periodicals, which can be used for reference.In short, those who are enthusiastic about the new era, the new society and their own work must have something to say and articles to write.Write often, read often, practice makes perfect, and there will be continuous improvement in technology.In our era, people are required to write everything, and everyone wants to write. As long as we write more prose and write good prose, we can not only inherit the excellent prose tradition of our motherland, but also set an unprecedented milestone in the history of prose. splendor.
