An article usually consists of several levels and paragraphs. A level usually contains several paragraphs, so it is also called "large segment" or "functional segment".
Paragraph is the pause caused by the separation, turning and emphasis of the content of the article, and it is the smallest structural unit to express the level of the article. It has obvious external signs in form (usually the first line is indented by two spaces), which can be known at a glance without discrimination, so it is also called "natural paragraph" customarily.
Extended data
1. Some natural paragraphs are written with "broken lines" such as quotations or poems. Such natural paragraphs cannot be regarded as two natural paragraphs.
2, in the corresponding natural paragraphs, but this is too difficult for primary school students, at the same time, not dividing the dialogue into the corresponding natural paragraphs has no effect on the understanding of the article, so now teaching generally treats each line of such dialogue as a natural paragraph, which simplifies teaching and has a good effect.
3. I think the natural paragraph numbering of epistolary articles starts with greetings, and the address, signature and date are not numbered, because this is a unique format with relatively fixed epistolary; Greetings and greetings vary from person to person, and their expressions may be different. Sometimes there is not necessarily only one natural segment, but also two or three natural segments or even longer.
