Zhu Guangqian,"Talking about Composition"

"I saw that I wanted to say something for a long time but couldn't say it, and I was easily said by others"

Have you ever encountered such a situation? Is it a lament that people do it? I often have such times.

The sentence of the situation described above comes from Zhu Guangqian's article "On Composition". One sentence resonated with me, so read it carefully. The following brief sharing may be enlightening.

First, the author refutes the attitude of superstitious genius alone. "In all art, talent and manpower must not be wasted." That is, the role of talent is not denied, but it is emphasized that hard work is an indispensable condition. This concludes with the stories of a number of great writers. For example, Tolstoy, such as Koizumi Yakumo (famous for American), such as Flaubert in France, tried three months to make an article. For example, Flaubert once asked Maupassant to burn the manuscript of ten years of hard work and learn to describe the real situation from scratch. In short, many first-rate authors in ancient and modern times have been trained by painstaking deliberation and speculation.

This shows that if you want to learn to write, you must have this serious attitude in order to make progress. This is also what many teachers who teach writing emphasize that the article must be revised! Every revision is a deliberate and speculative ah. Although it does not reach the level of first-class authors, their attitude and spirit are the only way to learn from and learn from, and it is also the only way to achievement.

The article goes on to talk about ways in which concrete actions can be taken. "Learning literature is like learning to paint, learning to paint can be posted, and you can also sketch." "In the past, most of the Chinese literati used the Linti method. Everyone must have read hundreds or thousands of famous works, pondered and groaned, could recite them, and then wrote them into texts, and their wrists were naturally skilled. This is the method of pro-thesis in the study text.

So what about sketching? Maupassant first consulted Flaubert, who asked him to describe a hundred different faces. - This is sketching. Write with your hands and write carefully. Meticulous observation and description of things.

To sum up, read more books, literaryly, books only have the difference between good and bad, there is no difference between old and new. Read more good books, for good books, be diligent in speculating and deliberating in all aspects, and be diligent in imitating and practicing pens, summarizing and reviewing. Regardless of talent, this process cannot be crossed.

If you don't work hard, you won't be able to reach the level of talent. Therefore, put aside the problem of talent, first be diligent, and in modern society, a certain writing ability is also necessary, kung fu is not in vain, after diligent practice, the harvest is certain.

That's it. Master scientific and effective methods, and consistently, you will be able to achieve what you want. Come on!
