Since last week, I have disassembled more than a dozen newspaper articles one after another. After that, I followed the way other bloggers, and wrote a narrative essay "The Joy of Raising Rose".
I have always been in the news industry. I use a very single vocabulary to write news releases on weekdays, and I rarely use any writing or rhetorical techniques. So, many times, when I want to write something that really expresses myself, I always get stuck and can't think of any words in my mind.
At the beginning, I just wanted to learn the structure of other people's articles, imitate an article, stuff the content in it, and then polish the language. But unexpectedly, as I wrote, I suddenly found that a lot of words would pop up in my mind, with clear logical ideas, and subconsciously wanted to use rhetorical techniques such as metaphor, personification, and contrast. This has to make me exclaim.
It turns out that the benefit of disassembling articles is by no means allowing you to simply imitate, but allowing you to enter a language environment. To put it bluntly, it is "beginning" and "entering the circle".
If you have read a lot of books and still can't write articles, or always feel that the articles you write are dry and shabby, it is recommended that you conduct a "training camp" and concentrate on disassembling dozens of essays by famous writers for a period of time. Then, the "stuttering" problem encountered before can be solved. Why does
have such miraculous effects?
My understanding is that in the process of disassembling the article, I will pay close attention to the verbs, adjectives, onomatopoeia, etc. used by the author, as well as what rhetorical techniques are used, the structure of the paragraph (usually the total score or the total score), and how to go from objects (scene) to people to feelings (thoughts, philosophy).
If you disassemble every article like this, you will accumulate a large amount of vocabulary in a short period of time, and use various article structures in your mind. When you want to write, you will start writing.
I gradually understand that to improve my writing ability, reading is not enough. Reading can expand your knowledge and horizons, but you also need to train yourself like training agent , which requires accumulating a lot of language and materials. This is why I have read so many books over the years but still cannot write good articles.
Of course, such training cannot be trained to the level of a writer in one go. If you want to become a famous celebrity, you must have talent, and the other is to continuously disassemble articles, write and revise them, and suffer the pain of typing for many years.
Finally, I recommend a famous writer's essay worth dismantling and even memorizing:
Lao She "Growing Flowers"
Ding Limei "Fruits of midsummer"
Ji Xianlin "Stop Rain"
Zong Pu "Send Spring"
Liu Chengzhang "Article of Autumn"
Shi Tiesheng "Hidden Autumn's Nostalgia "
Jia Pingwa "Where is Mother is Home"
Wang Zengqi "Lotus Flower"
