Yang Shuo's "Hai Shi" Preface: "This collection is about The ones collected are mainly some prose features I have written in recent years, including travel notes, character profiles, and literary miscellaneous notes. 2. Refers to articles describing travel experiences. "Preface to "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes" written by Yang Mingshi of the Qing Dynasty: "Most of Xiake's notes are based on Jing Zhi's writings, and they are not afraid of detailed details. They are not intended to be descriptive and embellishment, to express feelings, and to compete with the ancient travel notes for the writing quality." Lin Shu's "Preface to the Collected Works of Shen Yixuan": "The only direct descendant of Tongcheng was Shangyuan Mei Zengliang. Considering his landscape travel notes, they are slightly like Liuzhou." Literary travel notes, as the name suggests, refer to articles describing travel experiences. Some of the travel notes are argumentative, such as Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower" and Wang Anshi's "Travel to Baochan Mountain"; some are scientific, such as Li Daoyuan's "Three Gorges"; some are lyrical, such as Liu Zongyuan's "Little Rock Pond", Ouyang Xiu's "The Drunkard Pavilion" and "Fengle Pavilion", Yuan Hongdao's "Manjing Travels". In modern and contemporary literature, travel notes have been endowed with historical and humanistic connotations, among which Jian Bo praised "Visiting Ancient Times in Inner Mongolia", Yu Qiuyu's "Notes on Living in the Mountains", Han Han's "Big Country, Small Town", and Lu Dong's "All the Way East" are the most representative ones. Field Scenery Classification of Travel Notes Travel notes can be divided into many types. Those that focus on recording the itinerary are narrative travelogues; those that focus on expressing emotions are lyrical travelogues; those that focus on describing scenery and landscapes are scenic travelogues; those that illustrate a principle through travel notes are reasoning travelogues. There are two ways of landscape writing: read more and write more. As Ouyang Xiu said: "There is no other way to write, but to study hard and do it yourself." Ouyang Xiu's reading includes reading and experience. (1) Reading. This is the basis and premise of writing. Reading means reading other people's books. Some people call it reading "dead books". Confucius read the "Three Wonders of Wei Bian" in "Yi", and the tendons of the bamboo slips were broken many times. Du Fu "read more than 10,000 volumes", and then "he wrote as if he had a spirit". Han Yu "keeps reciting articles on the six arts with his mouth, and writes with his hands on the compilations of hundreds of schools of thought." Reading is essential as a foundation and prerequisite for writing. Reading can broaden your mind, accumulate materials, master the rules of writing, and enrich your language vocabulary. However, this effect is subtle. Generally speaking, the more you read, the greater your impact on writing. The possibilities are unlimited, but writing is the purpose. The content of reading includes, first, reading social science books on philosophy, politics, economics, literature, etc. The second is to read books on social sciences and natural sciences, and be proficient in both arts and sciences, especially books outside your own major. The third is to read books on writing and try to figure out the methods and techniques of famous writers. The first way to read is to scan. It can also be called extensive reading, skimming, thorough reading, appreciation reading, etc. Tao Yuanming did exactly this, "If you are good at reading, you don't want to understand it deeply." Zhuge Liang also "observes the rough outline". When reading, speed reading, or skip reading, is often used. Balzac described this reading method in his book "Louis Labelle": "His eyes can catch seven or eight lines at once, and the speed of his intelligence in understanding the meaning is equal to the speed of his eyes. Often a single word can enable him to grasp the meaning of the entire sentence." The second is intensive reading. It can also be called studying, studying, and familiarity. This is to read with a clear awareness of abstract thinking in order to understand and master the content of the book. Some people also develop into copying and reciting. Especially the recitation can be said to be a kind of re-creation of the original work. Notes on Traveling to Baochan Mountain (2) Experience. People call reading "living books" and reading "one's own books". Mr. Lu Xun said that you should "use your own eyes to read this living book in the world." Experience is the fundamental way to write. What is written is personal understanding and feelings in contemporary life. Therefore, the ancients often emphasized that "reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles". Experience is actually the observational experience of a lifetime of experience. Observation is the visual movement of the external form of things and their environment from the overall to the local level. Experience is one's own unique feelings and discoveries in real life situations. In terms of narrative style, articles with heavy observation elements are mostly news or paraphrased articles such as reportage, focusing on the reflection theory of cognition. Many novels that focus on novel themes are actually like this. Articles with a lot of experience elements can dig deep into the heart and write about things deep in the soul, and the emotional atmosphere immerses the entire article. No matter what, experience is the fundamental way to write. Write more The famous Russian writer Chekhov said: "We should all write, write, write, write as much as possible...write until our fingers are broken. (Isn't the important thing in life just to write cleanly and beautifully!)" Those who are interested in Anyone who writes should write more and practice more.
Writing more is the key to writing well. Treat writing as a joy in life, write casually, don't rack your brain all the time. Writing is the purpose and destination of learning writing theory. As the ancients said: "It is better to read ten articles than to write one." It is good to write more, but it is a common problem to write less. Of course, we cannot blindly do more, but must combine it with breakthroughs at the current level. It can be said that there are three levels of a person's writing level: smoothness, presentation, and style. Once you break through a certain threshold, you will never go back. Doing more work should also be combined with striving for practical publication. Promote imitation. Imitation is a necessary stage in writing teaching. Confirmation of this method of imitation comes from long-term thinking and repeated practice. People often write using imitation, consciously or unconsciously. As everyone knows, learning painting requires copying, and learning calligraphy requires copying. Whether they are learning Chinese painting or Western painting creation, students are required to first read all the famous paintings carefully, and then they must carefully copy a considerable number of famous works. Since ancient times, there have been countless examples of imitation, especially by many great writers. Yang Xiong in the Han Dynasty was famous for his ability to imitate. Among his works, "Tai Xuan Jing" imitates "Yi Jing", "Fa Yan" imitates "The Analects of Confucius", and his poems imitate the works of Sima Xiangru. The little Wang Bo imitated Hu Xin's poem "Falling flowers fly together with zhigai, willows and spring flags are one color", and wrote the famous line "Falling clouds and solitary swans fly together, autumn water and long sky are one color". The four major Chinese classical novels all have relatively clear imitation works or original works. "A Dream of Red Mansions" imitates "The Plum in the Golden Lotus". "Journey to the West" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" both have myths or scripts passed down from generation to generation. Guo Moruo's poetry imitates the poetry of Goethe, Tagore and Whitman, the three world's great poets. He also said readily: I have a writing secret, which is to read other people's books before writing. Lu Xun's novels imitated some Eastern European novels. It is said that 16 of his 26 novels are imitations. The most obvious one is that the first famous work "Diary of a Madman" has the same name as a novel by Gogol. . Balzac's "Petro Goriot", according to people's research, imitates the development clues of the father-daughter relationship in Shakespeare's play "King Lear". The great writers in the literary tradition do not reject imitation, and we have no reason to be arrogant and arrogant against imitation. Representative works: Xu Xiake's Travels "Xu Xiake's Travels" is a Chinese geographical masterpiece mainly written in the form of a diary. Xu Hongzu traveled for 34 years in the late Ming Dynasty and wrote 17 travel notes to famous mountains such as Tiantai Mountain, Yandang Mountain, Huangshan Mountain, and Lushan Mountain, as well as "Zhejiang Travel Diary", "Jiangyou Travel Diary", "Chu Travel Diary", "Guangdong West Travel Diary", "Diary of Travels to Guizhou", "Diary of Travels to Yunnan" and other works, apart from those that have been lost, there are more than 600,000 words of travel notes. After his death, it was compiled into "Xu Xiake's Travels" by others. There are several versions of Shizhuan, including 10 volumes, 12 volumes, and 20 volumes. It mainly describes the author's travel observations from 1613 to 1639 based on the diary. He makes detailed records of geography, hydrology, geology, plants and other phenomena, and has made great achievements in geography and literature.
