Mysophobia is a disease, but the word has now been neutralized. People who love cleanliness can be said to have mysophobia, and some people have mental mysophobia. It can be said that these are all types of mysophobia. Obsessive-compulsive personality, if severe, is a problem. But what I want to talk about today is the mysophobia of words, a kind of mysophobia as far as writers are concerned.
Just say whatever you want. Also, when eating, many people are taboo about saying disgusting and dirty words. I am not taboo about this. Of course, whether I say it or not depends on the person I am talking to. But when it comes to writing articles, I usually use words carefully and don’t choose to use high-power words arbitrarily. Although it may achieve instantaneous and local effects, overall, such words are too vulgar, dirty and unbridled. There will be a sense of overshadowing and sensationalizing.
A few days ago, I was discussing the language of poetry in a group of poets. I especially hate the overuse of some naked words, such as "rape". There is a type of poetry written specifically with rape words, which is different from those poems that use words randomly. Different from kneading and kneading, rape words are not only an abuse of some words about reproductive and excretory organs, but even more disturbing are the random throwing of these words into any artistic conception. There are also some poems that directly use the word "rape" indiscriminately, "rape the soul, rape the dignity, rape the spring flowers and autumn moon." It seems that using the word rape can kill someone with a single blow. In fact, the more you pretend to exert force, the weaker you become.
I also don’t like to use those Internet new words in articles. I don’t reject these Internet hot words. There are indeed some good ideas in them, but many people will abuse these words and use them out of context. If used inappropriately, it is very annoying. Many Internet essays cannot ignore some Internet hot words or various styles. What is even more jaw-dropping is that those who write novels use Internet keywords, either because they are not intelligent enough or they are too willful. Usually, starting to use Internet hot words violates one of the rules of writing articles, which is to speak well and speak like a human being. If a person is still writing "awesome" or "amazing" when writing seriously, then it is estimated that he will not be able to write well at all. Then when you are short of words, you will resort to sentences like "so what?" in the world of sophistry.
Of course, it would be too naive to think that these are the only things that people with word-related mysophobia have. Those clichés and those words that sound official in the news will be rejected and filtered by people with word-related mysophobia. For example, "Let's wait and see, welcome to exchange ideas, author, practical information, sincere work, gorgeous turn, integration with international standards, and finally completed the redemption of xxx, etc."
In terms of mysophobia, a typical representative is Dong Qiao. Dong Qiao’s mysophobia is a true mysophobia. It is simply a disease. He claims to care about every word he writes. After careful consideration, he must not use some words. They are not even dirty words, but they are not decent enough, so he will not use them. I can’t give specific examples. Just read Dong Qiao’s articles. Dong Qiao's words are full of ancient rhyme and poetic flavor, such as "The mottled memories and vast nostalgia at the bottom of the pen occasionally leak out a little bit of poetic news." The greasy taste is like thickened honey, which will smear your face. , it's so sweet that it's disgusting. I don't like this kind of mysophobia, I even hate it. Therefore, the accumulation of "beautiful words" is originally caused by mysophobia, but it has become the filter object of those who are mysophobic. Dong Qiao is a master, and his writing skills are very high. I am not qualified to comment harshly on him, but maybe the era is different, and his aesthetics have gradually changed. I don’t even refine words and sentences like this when writing poems. I can only say that it is my personal Like it.
Finally, coming back to the topic, whether it is writing or reading, everyone has their own preferences to some extent, and some even have some obsessive-compulsive disorder. But for articles, many times people can accept rough words but not rough reasoning, but if the words are not rough and rational, it will be meaningless. In fact, writing novels is the same. The quality of the story may be better than the words, so Gu Long can be so popular. As for writing, I think the most important thing is: speak well and speak human words.
