What is presentation technique?

The presentation technique is to write about one thing. Before narrating, the conditions for the occurrence of environmental events, characters, etc. are stated according to a certain logic. In the end, the event is smoothly introduced and explained clearly. It is a figure of speech.

For example: Han Confucianism said: "The words of Fu directly explain the good and evil of today's politics and religion." He wrote the story directly and narrated it repeatedly. It was obvious that he could finish it in one sentence, but he said it repeatedly. At its extreme, it developed into a style of writing that was as magnificent as the furnishings in the homes of the nouveau riche.

Another example: The Yuefu folk song "The Peacock Flies Southeast" uses elaboration techniques in many places. At the beginning of the poem, Lanzhi tells herself: "At the age of thirteen, I was able to weave and learn to tailor clothes; at the age of five I played the harp; at the age of sixteen I recited poems; at the age of seventeen I was a wife of a gentleman..." This is a kind of vertical elaboration, concise and deliberately emphasizing that Lanzhi has been smart since she was a child. Competent, versatile, and well-educated, it hints at Jiao's mother's unreasonableness in driving away her daughter-in-law.

Extended information:

To lay out and emphasize. It is the "Fu" in the Book of Songs.

Liu Xi's "Shi Ming" puts it more concisely: "To spread its meaning is called fu." In fact, fu is to lay out and narrate, and it is a method of expressing things directly and writing about objects.

Preparation is the basic creative method of Ci Fu. Dispersed, paragraph, progressive, and parallel are the four presentation methods of Ci Fu.

The so-called scattered presentation method refers to spreading verses or verses with the same content throughout the work.

The paragraph-based presentation method refers to using a poetic paragraph or natural paragraph to describe a certain theme in the work.

The progressive presentation method means that when the entire work or entire paragraph is presented, a progressive and in-depth description method is adopted step by step, which is vertical.

The parallel presentation method refers to the method of depicting the entire work or the entire paragraph from different directions and aspects, making the depicted object horizontal.

Writing techniques include expressions, writing methods, rhetorical techniques, etc.

Methods of expression refer to the ways and means used when writing articles to reflect social life, express thoughts and feelings, and introduce things. There are five commonly used expression methods, namely: narrative (narration), discussion, lyricism, description and explanation.

Writing methods, also called expression techniques, refer to various specific methods and techniques used to shape images and reflect life in literary creation. Including: supporting objects to express aspirations (supporting objects to metaphor people), expressing desires before suppressing them, setting off (contrast), exaggerating and ironizing, borrowing scenes to express emotions, referring to before and after, contrast, etc. For example, the article "Praise to the Poplar" praises the farmers in the north by praising the tall and upward and indomitable spirit of the poplar tree, using a symbolic writing method.

Rhetorical techniques, also called rhetorical methods, refer to methods of modifying, processing, and polishing the language used in the writing process to improve the effect of language expression. Including: metaphor, parallelism, personification, exaggeration, metonymy, rhetorical questions, hypothetical questions, duality, repetition, etc.

Narrative clues

1 Use objects as clues: During the narrative process, make an object appear repeatedly at various stages of the event, and strengthen its image through various means. Such objects often play a transitional role or symbolize and point out the central idea.

2 Use human clues: When using human clues to narrate, we should pay attention to the unity of characters in different times and different environments, and also pay attention to the characters’ age characteristics, appearance, movements, local and national characteristics, living habits, etc. unified. Otherwise, confusion may easily result.

3. Changes in thoughts: In this way of writing, the main line of thought development should be clear. The various stages of thought change must be natural and the contrast must be clear.

4 Focus on the central event: The main events are prominently described, the secondary events are clearly explained, the primary and secondary combinations are reasonable, and the narrative is orderly. With this way of writing, no matter how complicated the event is, it can still be complex but not chaotic.
