[Writing Enlightenment]
Jia Dao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, rode a donkey to the capital one day and groaned for a word in a poem on the way. The two lines of the poem were "The bird stayed in the tree beside the pond, and the monk pushed the moon down the door." He couldn't make up his mind whether it was better to use "push" or "knock", so he gestured with his hands on the donkey. While he was pondering, he bumped into Han Yu's cavalry. After Han Yu heard about it, he immediately advised Jia Dao to use the word "knock". Therefore, later generations have to refine their sentences when writing essays, and they all say: "Think carefully and carefully."
Jia Dao's "Two sentences took three years to acquire, one chant brought tears to the eyes" can be said to be a model of calligraphy. Without hard work, there would be no glorious chapter that will shine through the ages!
[Code Interpretation]
Literature is the art of language. It is difficult to write excellent articles without the ability to master the language proficiently. The language of high school entrance examination compositions must not only be accurate and concise, but also lively, lively, poetic, and smart. Articles that lack literary talent are lifeless. Confucius said: "Words are meaningless, but deeds are not far-reaching." Judging from the language of a large number of junior high school students, the main problems are: telling lies, not speaking sincerely; speaking big words, making clouds and mountains covered by mist; speaking empty words, meaning nothing; speaking clichés, Everyone agrees. The main manifestations are:
1. The language is boring, the most prominent manifestation is the lack of vocabulary. This is definitely related to the fact that students do not pay attention to extracurricular reading, but what is more noteworthy is that many students are not good at using the words they have learned. The words they use are monotonous, and they always use the same sentence patterns and dry strings. It tastes like chewing wax. Of course, such dry language cannot express personality.
2. Cliche. Write about appearance - big eyes, apple face; write about scenery - the sun is shining brightly, flowers are in bloom; write about time - time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon fly by; write about surprise - the mouth opens into an O shape; write about urgency - like a hot pot The ants on the Internet; the greedy cats—the greedy cats...these speech specimens copied on the assembly line have endured forever, and their individuality has long been lost.
3. Pretend to be profound. The main manifestation is the adultization of language, which often means "poor parents in the world", "failure is the mother of success", "nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing"...the language is "extremely mature" and the thoughts are old-fashioned and have nothing to do with themselves. His words and wit are consistent with his age and life, and he has completely lost the nature of teenage students.
4. Empty. Language is basically a mixture of "false", "big" and "empty". The beginning is roundabout, the end is chatty, and the middle is also "karate". It seems to be mostly sentences that look like opinions but not opinions. The narration is not like narration, the description is not like description, and the discussion is not like discussion. Most of them are slogans with some labels, and you can't even find them. Come up with some personal language creativity.
The above points can be said to be the "bottlenecks" that restrict students' personalized language expression.
To make the language of your high school entrance examination composition outstanding, you must first flexibly mobilize the expressive power of the language to make readers' hearts tremble with joy; secondly, use good rhetoric, vivid metaphors, majestic parallelism, and humor Humorous word imitations, puns with implicit and tortuous meanings are interspersed throughout the text, which is eye-catching and heart-warming; again, the sentence patterns are ingeniously arranged, and long and short sentences and whole sentences are cleverly combined to create the beauty of the gap and symmetry of the article. , the beautiful phonology makes the article brilliant. It's gut-wrenching to read.
The following combines specific language fragments to reveal the mystery of language use from different aspects.
1. Carefully crafted words.
To make the language vivid, novel and refined, you should try your best to use words that are concrete, vivid, and rich in connotation to describe scenery and expressions, and pay special attention to the refinement of verbs and adjectives. For example: "The low sky is pressing down on my face, and the gloom and depression are tearing my heart apart." The word "tear" expresses the emotions of depression, helplessness, loss and pain, as if the leaves of the heart are being torn apart bit by bit. It was torn apart, and red blood was flowing. The smart writing style and magical expression effect of the sentence all rely on the deft use of verbs.
2. Use rhetorical techniques skillfully.
Smart use of rhetorical techniques can turn abstraction into concreteness, dullness into vitality, and decay into magic, such as the clever use of metaphors: "The bloody setting sun is like a knight wearing a red hat." "The sunset falls on the horizon, like a piece of red silk, summoning the flute player who came from ancient times." This is a wonderful metaphor used to describe the "Flying Sky" mural. One cannot help but admire the novelty of the metaphor and the richness of imagination; another example is Quoting famous sentences makes the article more colorful. Proverbs, famous poems and famous quotes from Chinese and foreign celebrities have always been characterized by concise expression, profound meaning and universal popularity. Reasonable quotation in examination essays will surely make the article profound, sophisticated and elegant. For example, "Gently, I leave, as gently as I came." Reciting Xu Zhimo's beautiful words, I gently lifted the mysterious veil of literature. Li Bai's broad-mindedness of "there will be times when the wind and waves break, and the cloud sails will sail across the sea", Li Shangyin's deepness of "leaving the remaining lotuses to listen to the sound of rain", Su Shi's boldness of "when the river goes eastward, the waves will be swept away, and the romantic figures of the ages", Liu Yong's The elegance of "the dawn breeze and the waning moon on the bank of willows" have their own merits.
So I say that literature is wonderful because it is colorful. Two paragraphs of text and five quotations from famous poems not only add a bright color to the article, but also enhance the persuasiveness and appeal of the argument.
3. Original and witty phrases.
This is a way to innovate language according to the needs expressed in the article. For example: “The head teacher is again blabbering on to wholesale supplementary editions of the meaning of life to us.
"The sky is drunk, and the sky is reflected red. The clouds are the messengers of the mountains. They pull the wind to wake up the drunkenness, but wake up the sparkling water." The above-mentioned innovative sentences and witty sayings are like drinking fine wine after reading, giving people a wonderful artistic enjoyment.
Fourth, strive to be implicit and implicit.
The implicit language is thought-provoking, containing English and Chinese like chewing an olive. For example: "Only when the waves do not avoid the collision with the rocks can they be spectacular; only when life does not reject the existence of regrets can it be enlightened." "Knowing yourself is a compulsory course for everyone, otherwise we will be like flowers growing under dark clouds, lost. A world full of sunshine. Please remember: If you are a fish, don't yearn for the sky; if you are a bird, don't miss the ocean." Such warning words contain philosophical thoughts, are subtle, meaningful, and are elegant and concise. Just imagine, when the marking teacher sees a text with such mature thoughts, how can he not be moved by it?
5. Highlight individual characteristics
Some outstanding candidates not only have good basic skills in written expression, but are also good at regulating style and style, good at eclectic rhetoric, and good at lifting weights as lightly as ten. Their compositions show their inherent literary talent, and their language may be concise and sophisticated, or rich in poetic flavor. Reading this kind of masterpiece, like sipping fragrant tea or drinking fine wine, is simply an artistic enjoyment. For example, the essay "Grasping Youth", which scored full marks in the high school entrance examination, is known for its poetic language. Please enjoy the beginning:
The wind chimes of spring blow open my heart, the colorful flute of youth blows my dreams, and the notes of youth drive me toward hope. Youth, this beautiful season, is the time when we sow hope, cherish it, grasp it, and let it shine with dazzling brilliance in our hands.
The author expresses his heartfelt feelings in poetic language, with a clear theme and brilliant literary talent, which makes people feel the unique artistic charm.

Refining words and choosing words for the best
Refining words, also called word refining and word selection, is to ask for the words to be used A way of using words that is accurate, appropriate, clear, concise and vivid. Therefore, word refining requires searching for the only word that can accurately express a certain meaning from a rich ocean of words. Well-refined words are like a shining pearl, illuminating the entire sentence.
This calligraphy method has existed since ancient times. In order to make the language of poetry accurate, clear and vivid, the ancients often did not hesitate to make great efforts. The poet Du Fu devoted himself to this art and held the attitude of "I will never stop until my words are astonishing". Because of this, he became one of the greatest poets in the Tang Dynasty. Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty once wrote a poem "Boarding on Guazhou": "Jingkou Guazhou is separated by water, Zhongshan is only separated by several mountains, the spring breeze is green on the south bank of the river, when will the bright moon shine on me again?" The third sentence is known as The word "green" in this famous sentence was finalized after more than ten changes of characters such as "to", "guo", "ru" and "man". This "green" character can be called a model of character refinement. It not only describes the change process of a spring breeze that spreads thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, but also brings a spring breeze, an atmosphere full of beautiful joy and vigorous vitality. It can be said that with this word, the realm is completely revealed. Let us learn and carry forward the spirit of our predecessors in tempering language, which means "one poem can change the beginning and the mind will be at ease", and constantly improve our language expression ability.
