Writing is an important means for human beings to communicate information through written language. In complex and rich social life, people’s language communication is realized according to different communication fields, communication objects, communication content, communication methods, etc. different communicative functions. For this reason, people consciously select and arrange language materials in language communication, so that the language materials are functionally differentiated and form different characteristic systems and methods of language use. This is style.

The language style can be divided into spoken language style and written language style. The writing language mainly uses written language style. Written language is a visual language formed on the basis of oral language. It has the characteristics of systematicity, standardization, rigor and stability. From a functional point of view, genres are generally divided into four types, namely journalistic genre, theoretical genre, applied genre and literary genre. Each type has its own genre characteristics. Among them, literary style is the style that writing enthusiasts and readers have the most contact with, and it is also the most varied and difficult to master. This article focuses on literary style and analyzes it.

First of all, what is literary style? What are the basic characteristics of literary style? The so-called literary style refers to language that matches certain literary genres such as poetry, prose, drama, etc. and can show its characteristics. This style of language often pays great attention to the distinct rhythm of the language and the harmony of the rhythm, making it catchy when spoken and pleasant to the ears, that is, it has obvious musicality. Secondly, literary style often uses conjugations of words and uses a variety of rhetorical devices to enrich the connotation of the work, thereby achieving the purpose of implicitness. Finally, literary style also focuses on using words with a strong sense of dynamics, emotion, color, and three-dimensionality to fully express the emotional thinking of the writing subject, so that readers can not only feel the artistic image depicted in the work, but also arouse readers' appreciation for the work. Further imagination and thinking, that is to say, the literary style also has the characteristics of image and emotion.

After understanding the above two most basic questions about literary style, many people who love literary writing may ask this question: Since literary style has musicality, implication, image and emotion, Sexual characteristics, then, how should we use and appreciate these characteristics in specific writing and reading activities? Below we will analyze it starting from the four characteristics of literary style.

(1) The music is harmonious and the rhythm is distinct, making the work full of musical beauty. Liu Xie said in "Wen Xin Diao Long· Qing Cai": "Therefore, there are three principles for establishing prose: the first is the form, which is the five colors; the second is the sound, which is the five tones; the third is the emotional prose, which is the five tones. Nature is it. The five colors are mixed to form Fufu, the five sounds are compared to form Shaoxia, and the five qualities are combined into words and principles. "That is to say, while the article pays attention to "writing for emotion", it is based on The specific situation should also be "connected with words and ideas, and the general desire should be clear", so as to achieve the ideal effect of "gentleness and gentleness". While literary style requires language to be implicit, profound, and rich, it also often places the musicality of language in a very important position. The musicality here refers to the musical-effect characteristics of literary language organization. When writers organize literary language, they must not only pursue the expression of "meaning", but also pursue the expression of "sound", and sometimes even reorganize the language to express the sound, or completely subordinate the meaning to the sound.

(2) Through metaphors, symbols and other means, it makes a sound in the east and strikes in the west, which is thought-provoking.

The meaning of words has original meaning and modified meaning. The original meaning refers to the image reflected in the form of early characters and the meaning of the word it represents. Changes in meaning refer to the development and changes in the meaning of words used. There are many changes, such as metaphorical meaning, symbolic meaning, etc., which are all changes to the original meaning. "Wen Xin Diao Long·Bixing" said: "The metaphor of Guan Fu Xing is euphemistic, the name is small, and the category is large." It means that rhetorical means such as Xing are euphemistic and organized. The things to be entrusted are small, but the meaning of explanation is great. Indeed, sometimes if the article is too substantial, it will be "nothing to say but no way to go". Directness is a kind of calmness, and implicitness is also a kind of beauty.

(3) "While wandering around the scene, meditating on the audio-visual area; writing about the pictures and appearances of things, which are reflected in the objects; picking up the attached sounds, but also lingering with the heart."

This passage in "Wen Xin Diao Long· Wu Se" means that all things in the Spring and Autumn Period affect people's mood and actions. People who are good at observation and writing will make associations based on the characteristics of all things. And there is no end: lingering and clinging to all kinds of objects, meditating and reciting the tastes that can be seen and heard, writing pictures and pictures, not only describing the light and dark of the objects, but also describing them tactfully, and connecting words and sounds, and also according to the ups and downs of the heart. The twists and turns make the most of its tone. In short, in the process of writing, on the premise of carefully observing the writing object, grasp the characteristics of the thing, or describe its shape, or describe its color, or simulate its mood, or construct its space, or harmonize its tone ...In a word, we try our best to use language and words to create a vivid and emotional world of images for readers, use language to build readers' aesthetic palace and spiritual home, fully mobilize readers' imagination and enthusiasm for text reconstruction, and make Literary style is full of imagery and emotion. Specifically, you can start from the following aspects:

The words expressing color in the article will not only make the article lively, but also make the image of the work colorful and dazzling, making people linger and yearn for it.

3. Use emotive language skillfully.

What is modality? Explanation in the Chinese dictionary: ① Still feeling. ②Demeanor. ③Human feelings and attitudes. ④Coquettish look. From these explanations, we can summarize what kind of language has a sense of emotion: using metaphors, personification and other rhetorical means to make objective objects have human emotions, moods and demeanor, and the language is full of dynamic beauty and the emotional experience of the writing subject.
