People who write articles or poems are usually worried about not finding good materials. In fact, there are too many materials in life. There are many kinds of materials in the poems we see, and the styles and ideas have changed. For example, (1) emotion: the material describing love is an old theme, and its derived emotions, scenes and reasons are ever-changing, and emotions are all-encompassing. ⑵ Description of objects: flowers, birds, insects, clouds, fog, rain, moon, etc. ⑶ Narrative: sigh an event in a realistic way, discover the essence of things with a unique eye, and give it to the public to think. (4) Ethics: This kind of material is usually based on ethics, and there is no other form. Mainly expounds the author's personal views, or philosophy of life and abstract thinking.
The capture of the above materials is usually divided into inspiration generation and actual description, also known as hard writing and soft writing. Hard writing thinking is far more than soft writing. Soft writing is smart, poetic, less carved marks and less revision, while hard writing needs constant revision, which not only cultivates and injects emotion, but also can write better works.
1. Stationery
As a daily practice, such material works abound, and it is difficult to write when you see a cup and say a cup. When I am practicing calligraphy, I cultivate and find materials. The number combination 1 ~ 1 1 is all hard-written materials in writing, including some children's worlds.
2. Screen materials
This is still an exercise in writing. Our thoughts are sometimes lazy, so we can force ourselves to think, discover and cultivate. However, this kind of screen material is relatively extensive, generally describing emotions and seasons, and is a relatively common material. Therefore, it is undoubtedly difficult to create new feelings and methods in this material. Lin Ping's Poems include Byakki Smoker, Northeastern People and Fish in Antarctica. Now I have basically revised all these poems, with a little change in content and some titles, because the works produced by Linping Poetry Society are too urgent.
Another kind of screen dragon-catching poem is more difficult to write, with changeable materials and more difficult to master. My "Rainy Night" and "Red Leaves Full of Mountains" belong to this kind of creation, and the effect is not good.
3. Inspiration materials
This is a soft article, and this inspiration comes from the primitive accumulation of life, such as a meteor in the night sky, which is very bright. This kind of inspiration is what every poet wants and advocates most. Inspiration is not innate, but the inevitable result of emotion accumulation for too long, when something happens or happens by accident. Similarly, this kind of material is also extensive, mostly emotional. My collection of poems includes Here I am, Xiang, Am I getting shorter and shorter, etc.
4. Real things in life
There are many such materials, and these are the simplest, most daily and most basic materials I use in my life songs. Do not deliberately pursue elegance, such as soap talk, two empty bottles, and a glass of water. This kind of material is sometimes hard to write and sometimes soft to write. It can be used as both a practice pen and a spark. Such as: men and women walking, portraits on the bridge, portraits in the rain, these are the results of careful observation at ordinary times.
5. Materials produced after seeing similar poems.
This situation is that when reading a good poem, you are inspired and free to play. Usually this kind of material is similar to the original, including creative techniques and personality. I have two poems, one of which "Inception" is a reply to reading Guzheng "Playing the lute to a cow"; Another "strange pain" is the technique simulated by Dai Wangshu's Rain Lane. I believe my friend Muji's Rain Lane also feels the same way, which is related to Dai Wangshu's Rain Lane.
6. Manage materials
This kind of poetry is mainly based on theoretical exposition, including common sense of life, philosophical views and subjective understanding. It's abstract and lifeless. This kind of poem is written when excited, and sometimes it comes with feelings afterwards. For example, I have some theoretical poems, such as Xiu, Xiu, Xiu, Dementia, Happiness or Sadness? "cicada slough" and so on.
2. Complete after material capture
Here, I continue to talk about my personal experience. Usually, we find that good material can't wait to be recorded and created. Of course, every author's habits are different. Here I only talk about the experience of hard writing. When you find a valuable or poetic material, don't write it immediately. Think about whether this value is necessary to be included in the poem, and whether it is commonly used by others. If your materials and ideas are widely used by others, you'd better give them up. The purpose of writing poetry is to highlight the new, not just skills, but the innovation of ideas and creative concepts.
When we are looking for this material, we should first consider its characteristics, cultivate our feelings for it and divide it into several paragraphs. What should each paragraph describe and what do you want to express? You can write this part after you finish it, or give up.
3. Behind the discovery of materials
When we were looking for materials, we didn't have them, but they appeared in front of our eyes and we couldn't find them. There are many reasons, and the most important one is the influence of self-emotion. We know that everything has its ups and downs, and so does the mood. When we are depressed, we can't find the material, or sometimes we suddenly feel poor, bored, tired and bored. Poets are also human beings, and it cannot be said that noble thoughts are saints. We are still suffering from the hardships of life, and our feelings are stronger than others. When you fall into this kind of confusion, there is a way to read famous books and force yourself to study and recharge. Don't waste time visiting forums, and treat others' self-praise as a kind of psychological satisfaction. I'm trying to overcome these surfaces. This is just an illusion, because friends who comment on your poems may not have read your poems carefully at all, and they only send replies to get your reply. This is just vanity, and the result is harmful, which deepens the bad habit of reading Dont Ask For Help's solution. There is no doubt that they will not realize their true level and will not be improved. These are all human defects that every poet needs to overcome, and of course I am no exception.
