So, how to cleverly transplant famous lines from ancient poems into articles?
1. Use inscriptions to reveal the main idea.
The title refers to an independent paragraph under the title of the article and before the main text that reveals the main idea of ??the article. Borrowing famous lines from ancient poems as inscriptions can not only support the full text and highlight the main theme, but also add literary grace. For example: "A famous person said: Give others a rose, and the fragrance will remain in your hands." (Excerpt from the 2009 Weifang, Shandong, high school entrance examination essay "Stretching Out My Hand" with a perfect score) The young author cleverly borrowed this famous sentence as the title of the article, which runs throughout the article , plays the role of outlining the article and setting a poetic and beautiful tone for the whole article.
2. Introduce famous sentences at the beginning, starting from a high point.
At the beginning of the article, without deviating from the topic, clever quotations from famous poems can often arouse the readers' emotions and increase the literary grace of the article. For example: "'The dead are like this, never giving up day and night!' With the passage of time, generations of sages and groups of sages settled in the torrent, fixed in their positions, fixed in the long river of history - do "Only when you are true to yourself can you be outstanding." (Excerpt from the 2009 Hubei Wuhan High School Entrance Examination Essay "Only when you are true to yourself can you be outstanding") The author has an extraordinary opening, quoting Confucius' famous sayings and approaching the topic from the highest point of examining the historical status of sages and sages. Admire.
3. Interspersed with the text, it is full of poetry.
When writing a composition, if you carefully intersperse a few famous sentences in the article, it will definitely make the article full of poetry. For example: "In the middle of winter, snowflakes are flying. Everywhere is covered with pink makeup and jade, covered in silver. 'The ice is thick without cracks, and there is cold light in a short day', winter is cold; 'When the middle of winter comes, all the flowers will be gone', winter is It's so chilling; "A man with a coir in a boat, fishing alone in the cold river snow", winter is lonely. "Three million jade dragons were defeated, and the broken scales and armor were flying all over the sky", but the footsteps of winter cannot restrain people's emotions anyway. All things hidden in winter may be brewing dreams of spring, and they have an unchanging belief in their hearts: Winter is coming, can spring be far behind?" (Excerpt from "Into the Four Seasons", a perfect score for the Jiangsu Xuzhou High School Entrance Examination in 2009) A large number of famous poems highlight the characteristics of winter scenery, express the influence of nature on people, and express the love for the four seasons. They add poetic charm to the article and demonstrate the candidates' profound literary skills.
4. Serve as arguments to support opinions.
In argumentative essays, if you quote famous lines from ancient poems that contain profound philosophical concepts, you can use them as evidence to support the central argument and enhance the persuasiveness of the article. For example: "Turn over the long scroll of history, and you will see celebrities and people with lofty ideals. Almost all of them are full of hope for their future, and they have achieved admirable and outstanding achievements. The poet Li Bai faced his own life He had been confused and confused, but he was able to re-establish hope for his future and write the eternal song "When the wind breaks through the waves, I will sail across the sea", which makes people feel infinitely inspired. Looking back to King Gou Jian of Yue, I realized his hope for his country and nation. It was this hope that encouraged him to endure hardships and be willing to rely on others. In the end, with the strength of his countrymen, "Three Thousand Yues" With his strong belief that "Jia can swallow Wu", he became the last overlord among the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, occupying an important place in ancient Chinese history." (Excerpt from the 2009 Heilongjiang High School Entrance Examination No. 1 essay "Hope is the Source of Strength". ) The two famous quotes quoted in the article can fully demonstrate the point of view of "the important role of hope in life", and are full of literary grace and persuasiveness.
5. Place it at the end to sublimate the theme.
In the composition, ending with a famous line from poetry can make it the finishing touch, sublimate the theme of the article, and achieve a natural, appropriate, and harmonious effect. For example: "'He who conquers others is vigorous, and he who conquers himself is strong', a failed hero, a strong person. Ahwari, that's great!" (The 2009 Shanxi High School Entrance Examination No. 1 essay "Ahwari, that's great." "Fragment") quotes Lao Tzu's famous sayings to further reveal the valuable spirit of failed heroes, illuminate the center, and sublimate the theme.
In short, classic poems and famous lines are rich in connotation and profound in meaning. They are the crystallization of human wisdom. Sometimes they are eloquent and long, but they are not as concise and powerful as a famous saying. Cleverly quoting famous lines from classic poems can make the language appear thick, warning, implicit, and rich in philosophical connotations. If you can cite them skillfully in your high school entrance examination essay, your article will be highly literary and show your rich cultural heritage.
Example:
Listen to the Rain
A candidate in Xuzhou
The summer rain comes as soon as possible. When I just took the exam, the sun's His face was still red. Half an hour later, the ground crackled with raindrops, and the wind carrying the raindrops blew in through the crack in the door, making him feel a slight chill.
This merciless rain, why do you ravage the earth, destroy the trees, and prevent us students from settling down to answer questions quietly? "Sorrows and joys are always ruthless, and every step of the way is dripping until dawn." Ruthless rain, you left Jiang Jie with the exclamation that "young people don't know the taste of sorrow"; "The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, but there is sunshine when there is no sunshine." You asked Liu Yuxi to write the poem "The willows are green and the river is level"; "The rain hates the clouds and the clouds are sad, but the south of the Yangtze River is still called beautiful" and you made Wang Yucheng miss the beauty of "the water village fishing market, a wisp of solitary smoke"...
Rain, listen, the sound is much quieter. Are you tired and want to take a rest? Do you know that there is a serious drought in the old course of the Yellow River, and the seedlings need your gift, your caress, and your steady flow of water? Okay, stop, they are still very weak and cannot bear your madness or listen to your anger. I know that the torrent can only show your majesty, but a little rain can show your silent beauty even more. "Seven or eight stars are outside the sky, and two or three drops of rain are in front of the mountain." Countless raindrops contain so much surprise and hope! "Draw down the curtains, and the swallows return in the drizzle." How much poetry and friendship is conveyed by the drizzle!
In the sound of rain, I heard the hope of the earth. In the sound of rain, I heard the shouts of heroes of ancient and modern times. In the sound of rain, I couldn't help but think of the eternal poems of those literati and poets.
“I lie down at night listening to the wind and rain, and I dream of the iron horse glaciers.” Lu You once dreamed of the rain, thinking about the lost land of his motherland; “It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and people on the road want to lose their souls.” Du Mu was confused in the rain, and his heart was broken. ...When the rain hits the banana trees, it is a kind of fun; when the rain pours on people's sorrow, it is a kind of melancholy. When it rains at dawn, you can't bear to look at that "pond of broken apples"; while walking in the rain, you encounter a beautiful scene by chance, and feel pity for that "every house is raining during the yellow plum season, and there are frogs everywhere in the grassy pond".
"Good rain knows the season, and spring will happen." The small sound of rain reminds people of the beauty of spring. Look, the spring grass is green after the rain. The fresh green color allows people to witness the true nature of nature and daydream about the kindness of the Creator. The sound of rain hitting willow branches makes people listen to the sound of nature.
The sound of rain stopped, the whistle sounded, and there were still 15 minutes left. The rain is about to stop, but my thoughts are still stretching. I seem to have turned into a drop of rain, and together with many raindrops, slowly merged into a stream, flowing into a small river, running towards the vast ocean.
"Wind and rain send spring back, and flying snow welcomes spring." I may encounter many ups and downs on the way forward, but I want to... I have two minutes left to hand in the paper, what is the next sentence? Don’t lose points on this fill-in-the-blank question! It gets brighter outside the window and the sky clears up. "It's already a sunny day, and there are still birds chirping!"
Brief Comment
The biggest feature of this article is the quotation of poems to show literary talent. The examinee loved rain and poems describing rain, so he selected more than ten poems from his memory by famous poets such as Liu Yuxi, Wang Yucheng, Lu You, Du Mu and Bai Juyi. They were scattered in the article like pearls, adding a lot of color to the article. On the one hand, it highlights the characteristics of rain and its impact on people's soul, adding a poetic touch to the article. In particular, the topic at the end of the article is very artistic. It cleverly uses Mao Zedong's poems to imply the artistic conception of the article, including the philosophy of "after the storm is a rainbow", which is thought-provoking and also shows the talents of the candidates.
