Prose appreciation
1. Reading Prose from the Perspective of Literature
All poems that are exquisitely conceived, full of artistic conception or implicitly written often have an "eye". When appreciating prose, we should try our best to find a "literary eye" that can reveal the overall theme and make the finishing point, so as to understand the reasons and purposes of the author's writing. The setting of Yan Wen varies from text to text, which can be a sentence, a sentence, a detail, a trace of emotion or even a scene. Not every essay has the necessary "literary vision".
2. Pay attention to the characteristics of prose expression.
Pay attention to the characteristics of prose expression and deeply understand the content of the article.
Prose often entrusts with things. In order to make readers feel the rich connotation of the important task entrusted to them, the author often gives a meticulous description of what he has written, which is called "getting the shape and getting the heart". When reading an article, we should grasp the characteristics of "form", see "spirit" from "form" and deeply understand the content of the article.
3. Understand the connotation of the work
Reading prose needs imagination, association and supplement. Combine your own imagination with the author's imagination, enrich the artistic conception and image of the work, and fill the structural space in the text.
