Recently, I read Su Dongpo's prose, and one of them recorded Ouyang Xiu's writing method: "The world suffers from talking less and is lazy to read. Every article published is to plead for others. In this way, there are fewer people. Don't blame others for the defects, you can see them yourself. " Ouyang Xiu thinks that writing articles is his own business. As long as he studies hard and practices more, he will naturally realize the method of writing after a long time. Of course, "defects are not necessarily? You don't have to tell others how to do it, but sometimes you have to teach others how to write.
After reading this article, I think of a few words that Mr. Wang Shumin once warned young people: "Making good use of kung fu is the first thing to pay attention to in academic research." The paper "don't just write once, the first time you write is only the first draft, and then you will continue to collect information, supplement or modify the content and opinions until it is finalized"; "When you don't write a paper, you can write some notes first." For some young people who are eager to "make a name for themselves", these experiences are really "coolants" in June.
Nowadays, the publishing industry presents a colorful situation, and publications of various grades emerge in an endless stream. The emergence of the Internet has provided a broad space for young people who love writing and are interested in learning to publish articles. However, in this situation, some people have made the mistake of being eager for quick success and instant benefit, "being lazy in reading" or "being fond of reading, not asking for much understanding". Without the filtering and precipitation of thoughts, I scribbled a few thoughts and scribbled "Every article is striving for perfection". Most of the articles written in this way are superficial and empty, and can't stand the scouring of time.
If you are really interested in learning, you must have an honest attitude and a down-to-earth style, "make good use of kung fu", be able to sit on the bench and stand loneliness.
Zhu Ziqing said in "Essays on Writing": "Most of my writing is a rational activity, without much emotion and imagination." The article written by the brain is a little angry, so let it cool down and take it out for tempering after a while. How to exercise? First of all, we should be able to calm down, actually read some books and think more. In addition, we usually practice writing some exercises and notes, which is also conducive to training our writing, accumulating materials, sorting out ideas, and constantly correcting our own views until they are as perfect as possible, just as Zhu Ziqing said: "An objective counterattack is based on sufficient and detailed knowledge." Otherwise, we may speak layman's words or joke.
Words are the road to loneliness. Wen Wei Po once published a series of letters from writers Han Shaogong and Zhou. Zhou is deeply touched by the phenomenon that some people "use force to control force, thinking that three fists and two feet can conquer the world". He believes: "An accomplished writer should also escape from the decadent air in the noise." Han Shaogong also believes that if a writer wants to endure loneliness, only with a clear mind can he concentrate on introspection, pay attention to the accumulation and precipitation of emotions, and vent his feelings when writing. Their sincere words really deserve our consideration.
In fact, no matter literature and history, the article itself can't support us, it will only become more and more difficult. If we can't sit on the bench and don't want to "chew cold steamed bread", it will be difficult for us to make a long progress on the road of learning. Cao Xueqin wrote a dream of red mansions, "ten years of hard work is unusual", which was added and deleted five times. This is a well-known fact. The experience of Mr. Gu Cheng, a contemporary historian, in writing the History of Nanming also provides us with a good example of academic research. Mr. Gu Cheng promised to write a history book of Nanming in the early 1980s, and 1990 wrote the first draft. Although the editor of the publishing house urged the manuscript several times, he didn't take it easily. In this way, the first draft was "cold" there, and it was 7 years when it was cold! During these seven years, he went through a hard academic course: he searched the historical materials of major libraries all over the country and arranged them slightly, making the 800,000-word history of Nanming "evidence-based" and "wordless and passive", and finally making the History of Nanming a historical masterpiece.
If our articles are published without "empty words", it is a respectful and responsible attitude towards ourselves and others.
