We all know that when writing an essay, if you can quote some classic ancient poems or famous quotes, it will add a lot of color to the article, and it will also win the favor of the marking teacher, and the score will naturally not be too low. I believe that students have accumulated a lot of ancient poems and famous sayings. So when writing essays, how can you skillfully apply these ancient poems and famous sayings to your compositions to make them more vivid? Today I will share them with you.

1. Excerpt

The quotation style is similar to an excerpt. The original text is written intact at the beginning of the article, and then a new line is added at the end. Use dashes to introduce the source of the sentence and create the inscription of the composition.

For example: People today do not see the moon in ancient times, but today’s moon once shone on ancient people. People in ancient times and today are like water flowing, and it is the same when they look at the bright moon. ?Li Bai's "Wine to Ask the Moon"

2. Quotation

When used in the text of an article, it is in the form of a direct quotation, prompt + colon + double quotation marks + quotation content + end Punctuation + quotation marks.

For example: "The Analects of Confucius": Confucius said: A gentleman is always in comparison but not in comparison, and a villain is not in comparison with others. ?Tell us that a gentleman treats everyone in the world with fairness, does not show favoritism, has no predetermined prejudices and selfishness, while villains form cliques for personal gain.

3. Applying

Applying is similar to quoting, but there are subtle differences, mainly in the use of punctuation. First, the quotation marks are removed. Second, the last punctuation mark of the quoted content is outside the quotation marks.

For example: "Looking up at the bright moon, looking down at my hometown". Whenever we see the moon on August 15th, some kind of emotion will always arise spontaneously.

4. Transformation

There are no quotation marks, and classics and ancient poems can be invisibly blended into your own sentences.

For example: There is a kind of nostalgia that calls up one’s head to look at the bright moon and one’s head lowered to think of one’s hometown; there is a kind of boldness that calls flying down three thousand feet; there is a kind of affection that calls when the bright moon will appear, asking the blue sky for wine; there is a kind of indifference called picking.
