1. What is literature and art?
The formulation of literature and art is opposite to practical literature. Literature and art are collectively referred to as literary articles and artistic articles. They are articles that use language and characters as tools to vividly reflect objective reality. For example, novels, poems, dramas, essays, etc., as well as cross talk, sketches, etc. written in words. Everyone has been exposed to a lot of these styles of writing.
2. What is practical writing?
To answer this question, we must first compare practical writing with literary and artistic writing. Practical writing is an important style of writing with direct use value and a certain customary format used in daily work, production and life for official and personal affairs. There are many practical documents that we come into contact with every day, such as official documents, letters, advertisements, contracts, letters of introduction, letters of recommendation, etc. Each of us inevitably has to deal with a variety of practical texts in our work and life.
3. What are the differences between literary and artistic articles and practical articles?
The key points in the book are:
(1) Literary articles can be written or not; But when it comes to writing practical essays, you have to write them. For example, we must bring a letter of introduction with us when we go to contact someone, otherwise, we won’t be able to get things done.
(2) It is very uncertain who the readers of literary and artistic texts are, and sometimes they do not know; but the readers of practical texts are clear. You wrote a poem and published it in a magazine. Who will read it? I don’t know. When you write a receipt, it is clear to whom it should be shown. It is for the debitee to see and keep for future reference.
(3) The form and content of literary and artistic articles are determined by the author himself, while the form and content of practical articles are determined by the objective environment. In preparation for the Spring Festival Party, your teacher and classmates ask you to write a literary program. Whether you use it in the form of a poem or a sketch is up to you. If you want to write a poster, the style has already been decided before you start writing, so there is almost no room for consideration.
