Lu Ji said in "Wen Fu": "It is a good warning to keep your words and focus." This means that using an important remark at the key point of the article can be a warning strategy for the whole article.
The so-called "warning strategy" is a concise and meaningful sentence, also known as an epigram. It can be the author's own language or the remarks quoted by others; It can be one or two sentences, scattered in the article, or combined into sentence groups to form a profound and thorough argumentative paragraph; This kind of sentence can make the finishing point and deepen the theme after narration; It can also be used for discussion, revealing opinions, drawing conclusions, making the article more philosophical and improving the depth of thought ... In short, the article will be icing on the cake and appear "bright spots" because of the use of these epigrams.
Whether it is a master of ancient prose or a master of today's writing, in their articles, they often "transplant" some famous sayings and aphorisms from ancient and modern China and foreign countries, or express their views, or provide arguments for their views, or improve their articles, or show the author's cultural background ... For example, Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting Collection, Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Tengting, Han Yu's It, etc., modern writers. Quoting famous sayings has become a "conventional weapon" in writing.
Reasonable use of famous sayings with both literary talent and philosophy in writing has the following advantages.
Using famous sayings as the title of a composition can make the title of the article more eye-catching, more attractive to readers, and more literary and artistic. For example, 20 14 Jiangsu college entrance examination perfect composition, a crazy child's madness, one thing can make youth crazy, an empty mountain after the rain, a little youth, a thousand miles fast, half an acre of youth and so on. They all quote directly or use famous sentences in ancient poetry articles as titles, which makes people fall in love at first sight. A good topic can lay a good foundation for writing a good article and is an important part of writing.
As an argument of an article, famous sayings and sentences can often be made clear from the beginning, control the whole article or paragraph, and have the function of argument for nothing. In composition writing, we often encounter such a problem: if an argument is expressed in our own language, it will often drag on and fail to convey the meaning. If we can find a suitable quote to replace it, we will enter a bright future. For example, Kaii Higashiyama's famous sentence "Mountains and rivers are what people want" is used as the essay "Mountains and rivers are what the heart wants", and another masterpiece "Peace of mind, Scenery all the way" takes Sun Yat-sen's famous saying "If my heart believes in feasibility, it will be difficult to move mountains and fill seas, and there will be a day of success" as the central argument ... These famous aphorisms are rich.
Quoting famous sayings and sentences as arguments in the discussion is concise and has strong persuasiveness and appeal. For example, when discussing the argument that suffering is the gift of life, we can quote Balzac's famous saying that misfortune is the ladder of genius, the baptism of believers, the priceless treasure of the strong and the bottomless pit of the weak as an argument. Those philosophical quotes from the author's profound life experience are concise and convincing.
In addition, famous sayings and sentences are embellishments of writing, and those wise remarks will add bright colors to the article.
