Be literary. That is to say, there are three characteristics: journalistic nature, literary nature and political nature. This style is a product of the development of modern journalism and was popular in the Soviet Union, Europe and the United States in the early 20th century. In China after the May 4th Movement, some communications, travel notes and narrative essays have some characteristics of reportage. However, the formal advocacy and conscious creation of reportage began in the early 1930s, and was related to the left-wing literary movement and the introduction of foreign reportage. The first collection of works published under the name of reportage was "Shanghai Incident and Reportage" (1932). Later there were special collections such as "Living Record" and "One Day in China" and famous articles such as "Invested Work" (Xia Yan) and "Spring in Taiyuan 1936" (Song Zhi). After the late 1930s, Chinese reportage has developed greatly and has become an independent and important literary variety. What is reportage? Reportage is a news style that uses literary means to reflect real people and real events in a timely manner. In the late Qing Dynasty of the 19th century, newspapers came to China, and reportage, a product that combines prose and news, began to take shape. After the Opium War, the first batch of works that began to take shape as reportage appeared, but it was only in Liang Qichao's "Records of the 1898 Revolution" that the basic characteristics of reportage were evident. After Liang Qichao, reportage works gradually increased. The "May Fourth" movement brought profound changes to China's thought and culture, and reportage made great breakthroughs in subject matter and ideological content. Bing Xin, Qu Qiubai, Liang Qichao, Lu Xun, Rou Shi, Xie Bingying and other writers from the Literary Research Association are all actively writing reportage. In addition to adhering to the consistent propaganda of patriotism, ideological contents such as sympathy for the sufferings of the people, exposing the crimes of imperialism and feudal warlords, seeking a way out for China, praising the Soviet revolution, and expressing the Northern Expedition are more reflected in their works. The authors mostly use events they experienced personally as materials, and the lyricism of their works is greatly enhanced. By this time, the authors had no stylistic consciousness, and the term "reportage" was not officially introduced until 1930. Famous reportage works include "Report from the Gallows", "Invested Work", etc. Reportage is a literary genre that creates an artistic image based on real people and real events, and uses literary means to reflect real life in a timely manner. Its basic characteristics are: 1. Timeliness 2. Documentary nature 3. Literary nature Reportage is often like a newsletter, good at conveying exciting events that have just happened in life to readers in a timely manner as quickly as possible. The reason why reportage is so popular among readers is that it can grasp the pulse of the times, quickly reflect the reality of the masses' concerns, and play the role of "literary light cavalry". Reportage cannot fictional characters and plots like novels. It must be based on real people and true events in real life. *** Documentation is its important feature. Generally speaking, reportage requires real people and real events, but not all real people and real events can become the object of reportage description. Reportage tracks facts, but not all facts are worth reporting, but rather they must be selected and refined. Reportage cannot be like a news report, which only has a summary of events. It must create a rich character image and have vivid and vivid details. Reportage is different from novels in that it does not focus on shaping the image of characters, but it has very high requirements in terms of artistic image. Naturally, close-ups of characters must strive to portray the characters while introducing their deeds. Even in works that focus on writing about events, it is inseparable from writing about people. If the characters can be vividly depicted, the appeal will be greatly enhanced. Reportage can also absorb the descriptive techniques of novels, the dialogue art of drama, the narrative method of film splitting, and the jumping technique of poetry.

Question 2: What is reportage? Reportage is an "amphibious" genre that has both news value and literary value. It has the basic characteristics of news writing, namely authenticity and sense of the times, and the basic characteristics of literary writing, namely typicality and art. change.

1. Authenticity

News writing is different from literary works and theoretical articles. Its basic feature and special value lies in using solid, vivid and typical facts to express Theme, come on, affect the readers or listeners.

Reportage is also a news genre because it is a literary "report". All, like other news genres, must follow the principle of authenticity.

The truth of news includes two aspects: one is political truth, and the other is factual truth. Political truth refers to the accuracy of the party's principles and policies in designated propaganda; factual truth refers to the accuracy, authenticity and reliability of the materials selected.

The principle of authenticity is not just a matter of telling lies, because untruthfulness includes not only unverified distortions of hearsay and fictitious and fabricated untrue words, but also includes one-sided generalizations. Understanding and arbitrarily elevated "artistic imagination".

Truth is the power of reportage; truth is also the life of reportage. Authenticity is the first principle of reportage writing. The view that reportage is literary and therefore can relax the principle of authenticity is undoubtedly inaccurate.

2. Sense of the times

News writing has a clear purpose, which is to promote policies and guide work. The same applies to reportage writing. "Reports" should convey the pulse of the times, therefore, the content of reportage should have a distinct sense of the times.

What is the sense of the times? The sense of the times is the celebration of the spirit of the times, the display of the trends of the times, the reporting and research of current events, and the exposure and lashing of current ills. The meaning of "report" is that the author stands on the commanding heights of the times and makes a faithful report to the party and the people with passionate artistic writing.

News lies in "newness". The sense of the times in reportage also comes from the “new”. The first is new materials, timely reporting on new people and new things emerging in the new era; the second is new viewpoints, timely publicity of the new ideas of new people and the new spirit of the new era. Freshness and timeliness are also necessary for reportage.

3. Typicality

Creating a typical artistic image is the task of literary creation and the characteristic of literary works. Since reportage is report-style "literature", it should also adhere to the principle of typicality of characters and events. However, the typicality of reportage cannot come from artistic fiction and shaping, but can only rely on discovery, excavation and refinement.

The typicality of reportage first comes from the author's keen discovery. Being good at discovering typical examples is a specialty of reportage writers. Although the characters in life are diverse and the events in society are diverse, it seems confusing at first glance. But reportage writers must and can only go in depth to capture the typical.

Huang Zongying’s science and technology worker Qin Guanzhi, Ke Yan’s captain Bei Hanting, Xiao Fuxing’s chess master Liu Wenzhe... are not all writers who draw from the vast ocean of life. Found and captured?

The typicality of reportage also comes from the author’s excavation and refinement. The authenticity of reportage requires that facts speak for themselves. Therefore, relying on artistic imagination to shape typical examples is not applicable. Writers of reportage must dig, sift, refine, and include a large number of facts.

It turns out that typical images in reportage are not necessarily inferior to those in fiction. Therefore, the rich and colorful social life contains countless typical characters with distinctive personalities.
