Ancient and modern celebrity reading method (9) Lu Zuqian four-look reading method

Lü Zuqian was a philosopher and writer during the Southern Song Dynasty. He once talked about a kind of reading and learning grammar, that is, by reading the sample texts of famous writers, to learn and master the method of writing articles. It can be said that this is a very applied reading method, he said: "To learn literature, you must be familiar with Han, Liu, Ou and Su." See the text style first, and then go through the next sentence of the archaeologist's intention. The first look at the general proposition; the second look at the scale of the text; the third look at the key to the outline, how the idea corresponds from beginning to end, how it is a laying out of the order, how it is a suppressed opening and closing; the fourth look at the police policy syntax, how it is a police policy, how it is a strong word under the next sentence, how it is a good place to start and change the head, how it is a strong point of closing, how it is a melting twist, and how it is a physical sticker. Through these "four looks", we not only understood the essence of famous works, but also found out the mystery of the articles. I read books and learned to write.

One look at the "general proposition" is to look at the main theme of the whole text. The main thrust of the analects pays attention to finding the arguments, most of which are the central thesis as the main thrust; the narrative essay seems to be more difficult than the argumentative essay, especially those works that are more subtle, and sometimes it is difficult to see its main idea at a glance. In the face of such intractable subjects, the reader generally adopts the following methods: first, to find out what the symbolic meaning of the object is; second, to find the "eye of the text".

Second, look at the "scale of the literary situation", "the literary posture" is to see whether its genre and style are consistent, and the "scale" is to talk about the size of the article.

The third look at the "key to the outline" is to read the author's outline, understand the general meaning of the whole paragraph, and grasp its structural context.

Looking at the "police policy syntax" four times, the police policy sentence refers to those sentences in the article that can best express the author's feelings, reveal the essence of things, and have profound ideological significance.

This "four looks" reading method is not an average use of force, it must be focused, according to the specific situation of the article, which aspect is more prominent, which aspect is focused. In this way, the reading effect will be better. Otherwise, any work is read in the "four looks" method, and it will only fall into the "four cutscenes".
