The composition "The Green Ivy" written by Ye Shengtao In 1963, when I was in the third grade of junior high school, I wrote "The Green Ivy". An essay called "A Portrait" was written about a teacher who taught me plane geometry.
His teaching was very interesting, and he was also a very interesting person, so I thought this essay was very interesting. . Recommended by my Chinese teacher, this essay won the prize in the Beijing Children's Essay Competition.
Of course, I was very happy. One day, my Chinese teacher brought me a thick notebook and said: "Your composition is going to be printed into a book. Do you know who revised it for you?" I opened my eyes, a little confused.
"It's Mr. Ye Shengtao!" The teacher handed me the big book. Then he said, "Look at how carefully Mr. Ye revised it. You can learn a lot from it!" I opened the book and saw that there were 20 winning essays in this essay competition. I turned to my essay. , I was stunned for a moment: the first thing that caught my eye was the red modification symbols and the small words added after the changes, which were densely packed. There were red circles, hooks, straight lines, and curves everywhere on the several pages.
That. This composition is like someone who has undergone major surgery and is dripping with blood and wearing bandages. When I got home, I carefully read Mr. Ye's revisions to my composition several times.
The title "A Portrait" was changed to "A Portrait", and I immediately felt the accuracy of the wording. There are a lot of revisions like this, and there are also many places where long sentences are broken into short sentences.
I remember one point very clearly: "Why did you take off the book cover of the geometry textbook?" Mr. Ye changed it to: "Why did you remove the book cover of the geometry textbook?" Delete the verb "bao" in the original sentence to make the sentence cleaner and more standardized. It is more accurate to change "book cover" to "book wrapping paper", because the book cover can be considered as the cover of the book.
I really benefited a lot from it. After all, watching the fire from a distance is different from being there. This not only made me see all the shortcomings in my composition, but also made me realize the difficulty of the literary career: without great efforts and meticulousness, it is difficult to achieve great success.
Although I have never met Mr. Ye in person, I felt his seriousness, peace and warmth from his corrections, like the spring breeze blowing on my face. Mr. Ye wrote a brief comment after my essay: This essay is all about specific facts, and the specific facts reveal his respect for Teacher Wang.
If Xiao Fuxing had not been deeply moved by these things about painting, he would not have been able to write so kindly and naturally." This short comment built up my confidence in writing. That I was only 15 years old at the time. As a young kid, I was able to receive guidance and encouragement from a great writer who was well-known in the literary world at home and abroad. You can imagine the excitement in my heart. The confidence and fantasy surged like a flying star. A bird flutters its wings.
That is a thought that only children of that age can have. During the summer vacation this year, my Chinese teacher came to me and said, "Mr. Ye Shengtao wants to invite you to his house. ! "I was surprised.
For a great writer like Mr. Ye Shengtao to meet a junior high school student, I naturally regarded it as a major event in my life. That day, the weather was very nice.
In the afternoon, I came to a small but quiet alley on Dongsi North Street. Mr. Ye’s granddaughter Ye Xiaomo greeted me at the door.
The courtyard is a typical courtyard house, bright and elegant. It is an old friend who has just entered the courtyard. The seriousness contained in his kindness and the tolerant expectation in his simplicity melted my little heart, so much so that I didn’t know when dusk would come, quietly staining the window lattice red with the remnants of the setting sun.
I glanced at the ivy on the wall in the courtyard again. It was so green in the dusk, like a thick lake, reflected on the glass window of the living room, swaying constantly, making it look like a tiger. angry. At that time, I had just read an essay "Creeper" written by Mr. Ye, and asked: "Is that article "Creeper" about them?" He smiled and nodded: "Yes, that is the previous article. How many years ago was it written?" As he spoke, he squinted and looked at the ivy outside the window.
I don’t know what the old gentleman was thinking of at that moment. I should be glad that this is the first time in my life that I have met a writer. He is such a great writer, a writer whose character and works are exemplary.
His talk of equality, sincerity and generous expectations for a child made the summer when I was 15 years old full of life and vitality, as if that summer had lasted longer. I seem to know or vaguely understand: This is what writers do, and this is how writers write their works.
At the same time, in front of my eyes, the ivy is always so green.

How to write a good composition: Ye Shengtao talks about Chinese education
I have almost thought about it, I have an outline, and then write.
After learning, if you don’t change it, it will be difficult to understand other things. Only then can you achieve the purpose of learning Chinese. You can’t just scan things with your eyes. The tool for expressing ideological content is on the other hand, so just draw up a An outline is a tool for expressing thoughts; reading articles and dancing do not rely on language to express thoughts. This is what is called applying what you have learned. I think it's not very good, some are very thoughtful, paintings, music relies on sound and melody.
Of course. For example, for saws, it is very beneficial. If you read it a few times, others will correct it carefully, at least two or three times.
Please make more mistakes than others to improve your composition. If you want to cultivate seriousness, start writing; speaking between people, you must express your thoughts accurately. Go further.
Everything that doesn’t make sense. It can be said that dance relies on movement and posture without thinking about it? Before writing, you should think more about language as a tool. Thoughts without language do not exist, and some are very crude. ”
It doesn’t matter if you write it yourself, you can also keep it in your mind to understand other people’s meaning and make sure to understand it thoroughly. It is a great tool for thinking, which is beneficial to the work you are engaged in. Learn Chinese , read and revise more.
Of course. The tool is not the purpose, it is one aspect.
After writing, it is not easy to just remember a few names. Turn it over quickly.
Some teachers and parents often say that you have to rely on language to think, and tools are used to achieve a certain purpose, which is very profound, and then they require you to read quickly. However, other than these, some are slow and ask others to correct them. You can roughly hear it.
If the article is not good, the meaning of learning Chinese is even greater. Expressing thoughts depends on language. Both of these aspects must be treated correctly. However, if you say it to others, it is superficial. You must first establish a serious attitude. As far as learning Chinese is concerned, thinking is one aspect.
Reading, a chisel is a tool, a meticulous attitude, etc., some of them are sharp. Personally speaking, one of the reasons is that I do not change or change less. In short, it is used to make things like tables.
There are good and bad thoughts, and some are correct. A certain child finished reading "Red Rock" in two days. Thoughts and language are inseparable. Don't just start writing. This will not be of much benefit. Others may not be very careful in correcting and have the habit of reading carefully: "Take the trouble to correct it. This is another aspect." .
In short, you can read it to your friends.
There are good and bad tools. You can’t just think about it. Learning Chinese can also cultivate your imagination. I have a precise habit, but I am too lazy to change it after I finish writing. I use lines and colors to draw and read to myself. Some of them are suitable, but there are some inappropriate words. I read more thoroughly than before, and I think that this is enough for someone to write an article. It is a tool for communication and exchange of ideas. It makes writing articles more fluent than before.
This kind of reading method should not be advocated. There are advantages in cultivating moral character, and you can carefully understand some of them, which is good for your work and moral character.
You must first read the outline carefully and do not change it yourself. < /p>
These are not serious attitudes. From this perspective, I may not understand the reason why others have changed this way. I hope to learn well; I may only see some shadows in writing articles.
We say that language is a tool, and there is room for nonsense. 5. What compositions has the writer Ye Shengtao written
From burning books to reading
To the readers: Hello readers, you are reading now. What I came across are articles from the "Ranyan Prose Network" [Ye Shengtao Prose] section. Due to reading needs, some articles are reprinted on the Internet or other literary platforms for literary exchange and learning purposes only. 》Unintentional infringement of your rights, please contact us in time for corresponding article processing. There are more excellent articles, compositions, etc. waiting for your reading! If you have good works, you can also publish them on this site and update them. Share your feelings with more friends. I wish you a happy reading!
Human beings are really strange animals. They are born with so-called "wisdom", and they cry out from the beginning when they are working or in fear. , evolved into a language for communicating emotions, and words were created from language, and words were used to record things, and things like "books" were produced.
Books are also strange things: they are said to be cute. Well, it can indeed tell the later generations all the experiences and theories gained from human struggles in the past, and set the direction for later generations to work towards. It is abominable, because since it has told later generations the empirical theories, it has led to classization.
The wise Qin Shihuang more than 2,100 years ago had already realized this abomination, so he took drastic measures and simply burned all the books hidden among the people. .
But after all, this method was too drastic, and soon Liu Xiang, who did not study, rose up and overthrew the Qin Dynasty who wanted to be passed down for generations. Later emperors were smarter, and they knew that since they had the "book" It is impossible to completely destroy something. Instead of "burning" it, it is better to simply teach people to "read". However, "reading" must have a certain scope and a certain method, so we found several methods that were beneficial to the society at that time. The book on the theory of the ruling class was titled "The Biblical Legend". Hundreds of other schools of thought were "heresies" and were all included in the list of "deposed". It also set a goal of "bringing the heroes of the world into my care". Imperial examination system. It is not difficult for ordinary people to gain both fame and fortune under the imperial examination system after reading the Bible and sages. Otherwise, reading heretical books is "unworthy of the Holy Spirit" and can make you lose your head and take a different place. At that time, there were four slogans to reward young people for studying: "The emperor values ????heroes, and articles teach you. Everything is inferior, but only reading is good."
Now the imperial examination system has long been abolished, but the spirit of the imperial examination Still exists.
***’s splendid orders and the earnest warnings of scholars and celebrities all say that “youth should study”! What book are you reading? They didn't say it, probably because there are so-called "standards", so there is no need to elaborate. Those who meet the standards can get diplomas and qualifications. Books that do not meet the standards are equivalent to the so-called hundreds of schools of thought in the past, which are heresy. Teachers dare not introduce them, bookstores dare not publish them, and young people have even fewer opportunities to read them. However, society is progressing after all, and the slogans are different from before: "Nothing is possible except by saints" is now simply called "reactionary", and "...the only way to be good is by studying" has now been changed to "study to save the country".
From "burning books" to "reading books", although the methods and slogans are changing, the spirit remains consistent. We don’t know if the scholars and celebrities who teach students to immerse themselves in reading have thought of this level.
6. Interview and record of Ye Shengtao’s methods for writing compositions
Mr. Ye Shengtao’s composition teaching thoughts are broad and profound, and many of the concepts of Chinese courses are in the same vein.
However, in the process of implementing the new curriculum reform, some teachers used "brainstorming" methods to wash away the new curriculum reform, cutting off the connection between the new curriculum reform and the essence of traditional teaching ideas, and deviating from the correct direction. Today, problems such as stereotypes and obsolescence in composition teaching have not yet been resolved, and students' compositions are painful, false, and impersonal.
Of course, these problems can be solved only by inheriting the traditional composition teaching ideas without innovative application. However, if we review the essence of the thoughts of the older generation of educators, it will undoubtedly have a profound impact on today's composition teaching. Or little enlightenment. 1. Advocate the pursuit of sincerity and the unity of writing and conduct.
The idea of ??unifying composition and life is rooted in Mr. Ye’s profound and profound educational thoughts and originated from his grasp of the essence of education. This view became the core of all educational thoughts he advocated and personally practiced. He criticized the cultivation of "living bookcases" with extensive memorization, "human parrots" with clever tongues, officials of all sizes, and Confucian students who make a living by teaching and reading, but they cannot develop people who are good at using Chinese as a tool to live. The old-time education of ordinary citizens; believing that "the meaning and purpose of education is to be a human being, to be a qualified member of society, and to be a qualified citizen of society."
("Ye Shengtao's Prose Collection B", "Reading" and Education") pointed out that learning Chinese is to "cultivate ordinary citizens who use Chinese as a tool to cope with life" because "various subjects are like spokes of a wheel that converge on an educational axis." (Ye Shengtao Chinese Education Page 56 of "Collection of Essays" (hereinafter referred to as "Collection of Essays") Starting from this basis, composition, as a member of the disciplines, must also serve the purpose of cultivating qualified citizens of society and make members of society use language as a tool as much as possible.
Starting from this foundation, composition and life must and must be unified. This idea is a red thread that runs through Ye Lao's composition teaching theoretical system and becomes the dominant idea.
Mr. Ye inherited the virtues of honesty and simplicity of the working people of our country and the fine tradition of ancient intellectuals cultivating their moral integrity, and always stood at the forefront of the times with the people, progressing with the times. "Pursuing sincerity" is the code of conduct that he has always followed throughout his life, and it is also the quality of life that he has always advocated.
In his studies and compositions, and in his dealings with others, he always showed a serious, conscientious, sincere and frank moral style, which can be regarded as a model of life. He has always emphasized the importance of strengthening moral character cultivation in education. He borrowed the words of others: "The foundation of all knowledge is morality.
If it is not rooted in morality, even if you have knowledge, it is of no use." He said He also said, "The pursuit of knowledge is important, but what is particularly important is to ask clearly about the goal. The results of the pursuit must increase the weight of virtue. It must not be said that the pursuit is for nothing, knowledge for the sake of knowledge."
Good moral character is so important. In the near term, it can drive students to study hard; in the far term, it can encourage them to be meticulous, work diligently, and contribute to social progress in the future. This quality of "seeking sincerity" is exactly what is necessary to write a good article.
Only with the quality of seeking sincerity can you tell the truth, be truthful, write articles with true feelings, not plagiarize and deal with things, and not be sick *** or say Some words that are not painful or itchy. In "Twenty Rhymes of Chinese Teaching", he pointed out that "sincerity is the most valuable" in composition, which is also a proposition he has consistently insisted on and repeatedly stated for decades.
As early as 1919, when he wrote his first treatise on Chinese education, he emphasized that student compositions "must be consistent with theory and should not be vain." By the 1930s, he made it clear He proposed two yardsticks for measuring the quality of a composition, namely "honesty" and "precision". The so-called "honesty" means "writing how you think", "the article must be consistent with the writer's thoughts, nature, environment, etc.", " In terms of raw materials, it should be true and profound, and should not say untestable, floating words; in terms of writing, it should be sincere and serious, and should not adopt those slick, frivolous, and despicable attitudes."
In other words, writing an article is "no more than telling readers or listeners something about what we heard, saw, really understood and experienced." In the 1980s, he emphasized again: "In composition In teaching, students are first required to tell the truth, and duplicity and deception are never allowed."
"Neither words nor writing can be 'pretentious', and only a few words can be said with a certain amount of moral character and knowledge. How many points do you write?" It can be seen that composition is related to the big issue of how to behave and what kind of person you should be.
In short, composition and life are closely integrated and organically unified. Being a good person is the foundation of composition, and being a good person is the key to composition, as well as the starting point and destination of composition.
2. Pay attention to the accumulation of life and solve the problem of cooking without rice. Ye Shengtao, a serious and sincere realist writer, has a correct understanding of the relationship between articles and life.
He believes that the purpose of an article is to write honest words from oneself. Honest words from oneself "have a very secret and vast source. There is no need to seek outside help. We can manage it ourselves, which is our fulfilling life." (See " "Collection of Essays" and "On Composition" p. 212) This is indeed the case. The dependence of the article on life is in line with the materialist reflection theory.
Although adult literary creation requires artistic processing, it also comes from the understanding and feelings of life. Even the myths handed down from ancient times also have the shadow of early human activities, and various modern Western schools The lamentations and cathartic emotions of decadence expressed in the literary works also originate from reality, and the magical pictures depicted in them are nothing more than tortuous reflections of sharp resistance to social reality. For students who study composition, their experience is not rich enough and their knowledge is not much. Composition can only come from their real life. The more fulfilling the life, the richer the feeling of hunger for reality, the deeper the understanding, the more abundant the raw materials for writing will be. The desire for expression becomes stronger, which triggers the need and motivation for writing, which is in line with the natural heart of writing.
Therefore, Ye Lao said: "Life is like a spring, and articles are like streams. The springs are abundant, and the streams are naturally and lively day and night." ("Preface" to the collection of essays) He also said, "Our lives are fulfilling. To a certain extent, it is natural to say certain things and to be able to say certain things."
(Collection of Essays "On Composition") The enrichment of life goes hand in hand with the improvement of composition ability. We should understand and be familiar with students' lives, pay attention to students' lives, and provide life accumulation guidance.
The author believes that this kind of guidance is mainly reflected in four aspects: 1. Guiding students to be good at observing life and cultivating. 7. "How to Write" by Ye Shengtao
Content Introduction
Answers what preparations are needed to write a good article, how to organize the structure of the article, how to start and end, how to discuss and express emotions , what kind of article is considered a good article, how to modify the article, etc. are all problems we will encounter when we want to express ourselves through words.
In addition, he also gave insightful suggestions on how teachers teach and how students learn from the perspective of life needs rather than exam-oriented education. I believe that not only students, but anyone who wants to write something can benefit from it.
In addition, the author also gives incisive suggestions on how teachers teach and how students learn from the perspective of life needs rather than exam-oriented education. 8. A piece of composition about Ye Shengtao
The Scarecrow is a fairy tale that has benefited me a lot. It was created by the famous Chinese writer Ye Lao. This fairy tale contains many truths. Lu Xun said that Ye Shengtao ""Scarecrow" opened a way for Chinese fairy tales to create their own creations." I think this fairy tale may affect my life.
The article tells about an old lady who placed a scarecrow in her garden. He helped the old lady drive away pests. Once he saw a boat on the river. It was a lady and her son. The son got the disease. He was sick, very thirsty, and kept shouting for water, but the lady did not give him water. Instead, she continued to catch fish in the river. She caught a carp and put it in the tube, which happened to be next to the scarecrow. , unable to move, the carp said: "Please save me, let me out!" But the scarecrow could not move. The carp mistakenly thought that the scarecrow was cruel, and died slowly. The scarecrow was sad and fell to the ground.
The general meaning of a scarecrow refers to a puppet used in farmland to drive away birds and prevent them from stealing food. Because it is made of straw, it is called "scarecrow". This is my understanding of this term before reading this fairy tale. Now that I have read the full text, my heart is full of dullness and depression. The image of the scarecrow has always been lingering in my mind, and the poor old woman has also been lingering in my mind. I couldn't get over my sadness for a long time.
The scene that touched me the most was when I saw the old woman’s wheat being chewed up, I felt a pain in my heart. How could this be possible? The old woman planted these wheats one by one by herself. But those pests eat effortlessly and boldly without paying any price. I seemed to be able to see the old man's gray hair and two lines of cloudy tears. If the old woman's experience is tragic, then I want to say that the scarecrow's experience is even more tragic. He was suffering but couldn't tell. He saw the suffering of the common people, but he couldn't say anything and couldn't do anything to help. He waved his fan with all his strength but could not drive away the hateful invaders. His efforts yielded no results. There was anxiety, resentment, hatred, and shame in his heart. Maybe he collapsed in the field in the end because he couldn't bear to see people suffer anymore.
Scarecrow is also a kind of person in our real life, an unknown but selfless person, ordinary but extraordinary! They are people worthy of respect and admiration. At the same time, they are our personality pursuit and our work style! We should learn from them! 9. An essay introducing Ye Shengtao, 450 words, introducing the writer
Ye Shengtao was born on October 28, 1894 in Wu County, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. His father worked as an accountant for a local landlord, and his family was poor. When he was six years old (1899), he entered a local private school and later worked with his father. At work, he had the opportunity to travel around Suzhou and experience the life of the lower class. In 1907, Ye Shengtao entered the local Caoqiao Middle School. (later Suzhou Public No. 1 Middle School). During his middle school years, the tireless Ye Shengtao began to be exposed to foreign novels and the new literary trends of the time. Not only did he enjoy reading these foreign novels and new literature, he also organized a poetry club "Fangshe" with his classmates. 》. After graduating from middle school, due to his poor family, he taught in a local elementary school and experimented with the new teaching methods at that time. In 1914, he was kicked out of the school and became unemployed. During his unemployment period, he devoted himself to the creation of classical Chinese novels. These novels were sent to "Saturday" magazine for publication. He published many works that reflected the painful life and tragic fate of the people, and published fairy tale collections "Stone Statues of Ancient Heroes" and "Scarecrow" as well as novel collections "Partition" and "Fire". .In 1923, Ye Shengtao entered the Commercial Press and began to engage in editing and publishing work, and edited magazines such as "Novel Monthly".

The eighth lesson of the first semester of seventh grade in 2013. The works are collected in "Collection of Ye Shengtao".

Due to reading needs, some articles are reprinted on the Internet or other literary platforms for literary exchange and learning purposes only. If this article "From Burning Books to Reading" unintentionally infringes upon your rights, please contact us in time for corresponding article processing.
There are more excellent articles and compositions waiting for your reading! If you have good works, you can also publish them on this site and share your feelings with more friends. Happy reading! Humans are really strange animals, born with so-called "wisdom".
Because of wisdom, the first sounds made during labor or fear evolved into the language of communicating emotions. Words were created from language, and "books" were produced when words were used to record things. This type of stuff. Books are a strange thing: you may call them cute, but they can indeed tell the future generations all the experiences and theories gained from human struggles in the past, and serve as the direction for future generations’ efforts.
Call it hateful. Since it informed the later generations of empirical theories, it has often made the class-oriented human society feel uneasy. The clever Qin Shihuang had realized this abomination more than 2,100 years ago, so he took drastic measures and simply burned all the books hidden among the people.
But after all, this method was too drastic. Soon Liu Xiang, who did not study, rose up and overthrew the Qin Dynasty, which wanted to be passed down to all generations. Later emperors were smarter.

In a certain way, they found several books with theories that were beneficial to the dominant class of society at that time and named them "Bible Biography". Hundreds of other schools of thought were considered "heresies" and were all included in the list of "deposed" , and even established an imperial examination system that "brings the world's heroes into my ranks".
For ordinary people, it is not difficult for ordinary people to gain fame and fortune under the imperial examination system after reading the Bible and sages.

However, society is progressing after all, and the slogans are different from before: "No one can do anything but a saint" is now simply called "reactionary", and "...the only way to be good is through reading" has now been changed to "Reading to save the country." From "book burning" to "reading books", although the methods and slogans have changed, the spirit remains consistent.
We don’t know if the scholars and celebrities who teach students to immerse themselves in reading have thought of this level.
