What should be paid attention to in prose creation?
Prose with pictures is the freest style, and it is the frank expression and expression of self-emotion. No matter whether you write about the country, the world, mountains and rivers, it is the observation of your eyes, the thinking of your heart and the expression of your feelings. Prose is inseparable from "I". So, today, I will talk about some experiences around my prose creation in recent years. First, my prose world Dana said: "To understand a work of art, an artist and a group of artists, we must correctly imagine the spirit and customs of their time." (The Essence of Art). I have lived in the countryside since I was a child, with ten years of rural life, ten years of teaching life and more than ten years of political life. It provides rich resources for my prose creation. The profound humanistic accumulation, beautiful natural scenery and rich national culture in my hometown have opened up a broad space for my prose creation. Every region and every specific place has its own unique and vivid side, which provides a natural advantage of non-repetition for prose writing. Therefore, in my prose world, there are Yandong's hometown, Manchu customs, banks of the Taihe River, local plots and folklore. In other words, I found my own writing territory. Human care and life narration, geographical background and youth growth, historical and humanistic imitation and spiritual expectation, nostalgia and life flavor, philosophy of life and humanistic interpretation, earth travel and emotional meditation, etc. The broad, thick, distant and profound Liaodong culture is the spiritual background, permeated with the blood of Liaodong mountains, full of love for life, resistance to fate and impact on the secular torrent. My personal creation is also a process of integration and dialogue with the earth, and it is also a kind of persistence and exploration. Local plot, local plot is always the theme of my prose creation. Those things with life, life is more vivid; Those inanimate things are also endowed with the characteristics of life. Every outline, every detail, every color and every rib of my hometown is in my eyes. Touch the scene and express your ambition by borrowing things. Whether it's a sunset village, an eagle in the sky, an old cow by the river, or a fair woman or a simple aunt, I see people's business and destiny, reflecting the world. I wrote a series of rural essays, and developed rich and peculiar imagination in objective description, writing about old trees, wind, eaves dripping, cooking smoke, soy sauce, tofu, haystacks, ridges, mud braziers, earthen houses, yangko and so on. I wrote "My Hometown" composed of some fragments from the past, and wrote "Memories of Mountain Villages" about coarse porcelain bowls, copper pots, lampstands, stone mills, pottery pots, old wells, ballads, etc., revealing the secrets of life that are common but often overlooked-labor, earth and life. Historical memory records the past life, tells historical figures and listens to distant echoes, which is another theme of my prose. From the remake and examination of historical images, candles reflect social reality and convey historical value and national spirit. It is often a point, a surface, a shot and a detail. It is precisely these details that show that history is deeply rooted and flourishing. The historical memory of prose comes directly, truly and profoundly. We are proud of the cultural charm of the nation, or cry out for the cultural amnesia of the nation, or trace back to the roots of the national spirit, or folk customs, which let us touch the roots of national culture and highlight the cultural homeland and spiritual strength of China people. In this respect, Mo Yongfu is the best and most prominent among our Benxi authors. I also wrote some historical scenery and historical figures nurtured by water and soil in this area, but they were not profound. Human nature and affection will be touched by affection, because it is warm. This refers not only to kinship with blood relationship, but also to nostalgia, teacher-student relationship, war friendship, friendship and love. I also follow my family. I wrote "Mother", in which I wrote about my mother's grace and the call for loving mother. I also wrote about my father's steadfast love for his son. I also wrote about the love of strangers. This warmth and brilliance of human nature is not only the narration and whispering of family affection, but also the feeling of compassion and great love. Standing on the solid earth and among all sentient beings, touch the little people who are often neglected and despised, feel the hardships of their lives, the physical and mental suffering and the spiritual predicament, feel their greatness in humble and humiliating dignity, and convey their true sympathy, care and respect. Showed the humiliation of being despised and the dignity of fighting in humiliation in their own way. Let readers see their understanding and solemnity in their humble life, and also express their worries and concerns about their lack of food and clothing. Landscape My prose resources are still in nature such as mountains, rivers, land and sky, and also in my heart. Everyone has his own childhood and growing environment, and it is inseparable from the nourishment of nature. Where you drank the water, where you ate the food and where you breathed the air since childhood, the factors of that place have been flowing in your blood for a long time, and you have a lifelong affection for the place where you were born and raised. When I pick up a pen, I will naturally write about the mountains and rivers in my hometown, from near water to distant mountains, from the shore to the fields, how high the mountains are and how deep the water is, just like a soothing andante, elegant narration, calm expression, insight into the wisdom of life, keenness in grasping things and philosophical thinking of life, and strive to make my works full of elegant manners and feelings. There are also pity for animals, torture and reflection on people, cry for equality of life, and expectation of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The geomantic omen of the native land connects the local vein of literature, and the native land and literature have the same charm and breath. People, people and animals, people and land, people and nature, as close as lips and teeth, are unforgettable. In the process of talking about the consciousness of natural life and meditation on the spiritual realm of nature, we all hear the voice of nature, see the color of nature, and realize the life of nature, the deep concern for nature, the observation of human beings in the light of natural candles, and the eternal affection for ancestors connected with natural blood. Second, some of my experiences. Although I can't write any earth-shaking articles, I have known myself through hard work these years. Let's talk about some of my experiences. 1. Prose is easy to learn but difficult to work. Beginners should never regard prose as the easiest to write. Novels can attract people by stories, amuse people by plots and catch people by characters. Prose is the condensation of feelings, the implication of poetry, philosophical thinking, the exploration of the true meaning of life and unique language, which can infect, edify and enlighten people. This shows the difficulty of prose. Writer Feng Jicai said that if you want to test a writer's skill, please ask him to write an essay. Wang Guowei said that prose is easy to learn but difficult to work. Therefore, we should not only see the ease of prose, but also see the difficulty of prose. See easy, not daunting, see difficult, can be treated with caution, study hard, and strive to pursue artistic perfection. Now, there are so many prose writers and the quantity is abundant that it has never been so beautiful. But really good prose, pithy works, heavy works and meaningful works are too few. Most of them are popular prose and fast-food prose, which are disposable and thrown away after reading. This reason, I think, is related to emphasizing that prose is casual. Prose has become staple goods, with more and more fake and inferior products, vulgar words, shallow content, verbose language, bland and tasteless, which has ruined prose. Prose is scattered, but it should be emphasized that literature is literary, literary and cultural character Scattering is form, writing is quality and implication. It is not prose that determines the success or failure of prose, but prose. Wen Zan is a flash of fresh thoughts and exquisite language. Literariness is the function of artistry, artistic appeal, inspiration and pleasure. The cultural character of prose depends on the author's cultural personality, cultural conscience and cultural accomplishment. Kaku Takashina's author, can write Kaku Takashina's prose. Only by improving cultural character can prose be rich in meaning, profound in artistic conception and long in meaning. Only such prose can nourish the spirit, infiltrate the heart, soothe the soul and enhance the personality. Now some people advocate big prose, which I think is not only big, but also refers to broad thinking and tall personality. Therefore, it is difficult to write prose with brilliant prose, full artistic content and strong cultural implication, but it is the benchmark for our struggle. 2, write the most familiar. The younger brother of the impressionist painter Van Gogh studied painting in Paris and made little progress. Van Gogh wrote to tell him that you might say that there are flowers in Paris, but you are wheat and your position is in the wheat field. Plant it in the soil of your hometown, and you will take root here. Don't waste your life on the sidewalk in Paris! I have been to big cities and lived in high-rise buildings, but I am always unable to write about urban life. My roots are in the countryside, so I am familiar with everything in the countryside, and it is easy to write about rural life. Writing should have a corresponding natural and humanistic environment. 3. read widely. My stomach is empty and I have nothing to write. What should I do? I use two methods. First, put down the pen, concentrate on reading, and read the books you love. By reading, we can broaden our minds, adjust our emotions, improve our artistic appreciation and enhance our artistic perception. Often reading, I suddenly think of a subject to write, and I soon have an idea. This is called borrowing other people's ideas and arts to inspire your own inspiration. The second is to go to a colorful and colorful life, to meet all kinds of people, to learn about new and strange things, to discover new themes, to arouse memories and to inspire real life. Read widely, not only literary books, but also political, economic, philosophical, historical, aesthetic and natural sciences. The more miscellaneous the reading, the wider the coverage. Art is interlinked, and literature and painting, music, dance, drama, etc. are identical in aesthetics, but in different forms. Learn from different art forms and draw lessons from them. The things that can be read in the world are not only books, but also books that can be read by the society and the world, landscapes, grasses, birds, animals, fish and insects, the sun, the moon and stars, storms and lightning. With eyes and heart, with life experience, life experience and spiritual experience to examine, explore, understand and sense, you will get new discoveries and new enlightenment. This book is boundless, ever-changing, always new, and it is difficult to finish reading it all your life. It is more complicated, profound, vivid and meaningful than any other book. The experience of reading this wordless book is the real thing. Only by writing these experiences can it be a good article. 4. Have true feelings. There is a saying in Yuan Mei, a Qing dynasty, that "articles are written through the ages, but faxes don't spread falsehood". For Wen Bizhen. Novels are often written about others, and prose must be your own business, even if you write about others, you are writing about yourself. Novels are often foreign affairs, and prose is mostly a matter of heart. Fiction depends on fiction, and prose must be true. Novels can be made up, stories can be made up and characters can be made up. Prose can't be edited. Once edited, it will go out of shape, and once edited, it will reveal the truth. The more novels are compiled, the more typical, and the more essays are compiled, the more false. Fiction can be absurd, absurd and absurd, and prose is the exposure of the soul, which must be true, true and sincere. The novel captures the reader by the twists and turns of the story, by the vivid characters created, and the prose touches the reader by sincere feelings, unique understanding, artistic tailoring and exquisite language. Han Yu's "Sacrifice to Twelve Langs" was written with sincere words and profound sadness. It was full of blood and tears, and it made people cry after reading it for thousands of years. It's just touching. 5. Prose should have flavor, aura and thoughts. Since prose impresses readers with true feelings, it must be tasteful, that is, it has a aftertaste after the product. Life itself is mixed with various flavors, and prose makes people taste various flavors. It is easy to taste different flavors when reading famous prose. Lu Xun's spicy taste, Zhou Zuoren's bitter taste, Liang Shiqiu's mellow taste and Feng Zikai's warm taste are filled between the lines, with endless aftertaste. Have aura, such as writing travel notes, the most taboo is to record everything you see and become a tour guide. The writer's visit to the mountains and rivers is not only a physical tour, but also a wandering mind. The mind and the nature of the mountains and rivers intersect harmoniously, from which he can understand and understand. Writing about mountains and water is actually writing about yourself. There is oneself in the landscape, and the landscape is alive. Write what the mountains are like and what the water is like, and the mountains and rivers will die. There is a saying by Zhu Ziqing that travel notes are full of dreams. With dreams, people's feelings and thoughts can be found in travel notes, and with people's unique discoveries, they can be attractive and readable. Zhu Ziqing and Yu Pingbo swam the Qinhuai River together. They saw and heard the same things, but their dreams were different. They wrote an essay on the same topic, Qinhuai River in the shadow of the oars and lights. The depth of the article comes from the depth of thought, which is related to learning, experience and ability to understand things. An article must always express an idea, a profound article, and a strong speculative power, in order to make people shocked. 6. The language should be vivid and vivid. The first element of literature is language. No matter how good the subject matter is, no matter how clever the idea is, if the language is poor, it will fail. Yuan Mei advocated that "all poems should be written on paper, not on paper. If you live, you will stand, if you die, you will lie down, and so will you use a pen. " Words stand on paper, that is, language has tension expressive force, vivid, accurate and vivid. In a sentence, one word is arranged accurately and fresh, which can make the whole sentence shine and add color to the whole article. There is a saying in Ouyang Xiu's "The Story of Drunken Pavilion", "Those who have a pavilion on the spring are drunk with pavilions." The word "wing" in the sentence is used best and vividly. The shape of the pavilion and the dynamics of still life are written, which cannot be replaced by other words. For another example, writing colors with only a few words such as red and green is not realistic. In Lu Xun's Autumn Night, pink, red, iron, white with embarrassment, scarlet, green and verdant are used to express the colors of different scenery, which makes the colors have personality. We are used to writing colors directly. If we write them as rouge, agate, lemon yellow, water chestnut, lotus root, jade, emerald, fish-belly white, olive and cockscomb, we will make the colors rich in visual images and enhance the expressive force of language. Language skills need to be honed all your life. 7. Keep a childlike innocence. Childlike heart is naturally revealed. Childlike heart is love, love oneself and others, love everything in the world, give love and receive love. Childhood is short, childlike innocence should be long. Unfortunately, due to the erosion of time and the influence of the secular world, some adults have lost their childlike innocence, contended for fame in the DPRK, and strived for the benefit of the city, and they have become fools, or they have lost their interest in the world and stopped pursuing life. Childlike heart is precious. In the Ming Dynasty, Li Zhi pointed out: "There is nothing in the world that is not out of childlike innocence." Literature needs childlike innocence. Love is the root of all literature, but also the root of prose. Where does love come from? From childlike innocence. With childlike innocence, I am full of true feelings for everything in the world, from the universe to the flowers, birds, insects and fish. There is love in the heart, and there is love in the pen. Only when the article is affectionate can the reader be emotional. Only by showing childlike innocence can you exchange for true feelings. Full of childlike innocence, rich in emotion, willing to keep a childlike innocence forever and not be polluted. Third, the current problem of prose creation There are many shortcomings in my prose creation. I always want to put some academic knowledge and information in my prose, such as history, humanities, etc. It seems that only in this way can I be knowledgeable and my work be heavy. The result is copying mechanically, pulling mechanically and eating alive. The writing is cold and hard, the writing is stiff and dead, the content is rough and rough, and the emotion is empty and false. Those who write about natural scenery often sell guide maps; Those who write philosophical thoughts often take political lessons; Those who write about history and culture often open a literature and history museum; Those who write about daily life often keep a running account; And those who write about the reality of the times often shout big slogans. I want to tell you all the truths that are difficult to understand in a person's life in one essay. As a result, many prose works, without thoughts, are doomed to be empty. At present, there are two problems in prose creation, in addition to the above-mentioned common problems. First, there is a lack of deep concern for reality. A large number of writers consciously or unconsciously gave up their concern and description of the historical fate and realistic survival of ordinary workers in the lower classes of society in the outpouring of literati's mentality and interest, which led to their avoidance and absence in the face of new social contradictions. Throughout the history of China's prose, the Western-style humanitarian spirit may be relatively thin, but it is a long-standing tradition to show concern, sympathy and even praise to the working people at the lower level, which originated from the Confucian people-oriented thought. History has come to this day, where we are.
