Make the composition language beautiful

Introduction to the article: Some sentences are very beautiful, some sentences can go straight into the depths of the soul and trigger a scream, some sentences are as breathtaking as poetry, and some sentences are very picturesque and make people sigh. The scenery suddenly appeared while reading. Below is what I have compiled for you to make your composition language beautiful for your reference.

1. The Beauty of Rhetoric

First of all, to enhance the beauty of language, in addition to mastering some beautiful vocabulary, we should also try to use as few calm declarative sentences as possible, so that one sentence should be as clear as possible. Smart and beautiful. Give examples. Look at the following two sentences. Then think about the use of language vocabulary.

(1) The spring breeze blows, and new leaves grow on the willow branches. The wild geese also flew back from the north. But I don’t know when I will hear from you.

(2) Waiting for the spring breeze to dye the willow branches with eye-catching vitality. Waiting for the wild geese to write the surprise of returning home in the sky. But when will I wait for your letter and read your folded thoughts.

Obviously in sentence (1), the author uses a general narrative sentence to express a feeling of longing, which is not very touching; the words "dye" and "provoke" in sentence (2) "" and other elegant words make the sentence feel bookish, and the combination of "dye" and "vitality", "write" and "surprise", and "fold" modify "thoughts", these ingenious combinations create a A brand-new artistic conception, fresh, bright and vivid, especially a more euphemistic and clear expression of deep "missing" feelings.

Another example: "The grass secretly emerged from the soil" and "secretly" and "drill" describe the squeezing force of spring grass breaking out of the ground; another example is "There are some villages lying on the hillside." ", there is some light snow lying on the roof of the small village." The two characters "lying" in the sentence make the village and snow vivid, making the sentence full of new ideas and adding to the infinite charm of the language. This is a flexible use of anthropomorphic techniques, coupled with the clever combination of words, it has a beautiful effect.

It can be seen that a large part of the beauty of language comes from the seemingly incredible combination of words. Sometimes it feels unreasonable, but after boldly combined, it actually has unexpected effects. "Writing full of surprises" and "folding thoughts" will give you a beautiful feeling. Therefore, sometimes you have to think outside the box and let go of your thinking, so that you will think of many beautiful sentences. Then there is the use of anthropomorphic rhetoric. For example, the two "lying" words in the above example are used without trace, but have a poetic effect.

The biggest characteristic of poetic language is that it sometimes subverts conventional grammar or breaks inherent laws. That is, parts of speech are often ignored. Nouns can be used as verbs, adjectives can also be used as verbs, and even words with various parts of speech can be used universally.

For example: The south wind blows the longing in her eyes into the shape of dreams. The south wind blows with desire, and there are many desires in the eyes. What is the shape of dreams? The rhetoric and semantics here seem hazy, but there is a unique beauty. So combine boldly, connect carefully, and write outstanding sentences.

2. The beauty of simplicity

Moreover, when you write more, various rhetorical techniques will be used without leaving any trace. Even without beautiful words, you can still make the sentences vivid and touching. It can also reflect a special kind of beauty, and then incorporate emotions into it, which can easily move people's hearts.

For example: My hometown is still green in my memory, my mind is still wandering in the past, and nostalgia, like the vines of cucumbers, twists and turns, crawling all over my life. And I am just like the cucumber with the little flower on top, with little thorns all over my body, softly piercing my warm thoughts.

Another example: Now, my hometown is separated by water and mountains, and the flowers in my memory are all in the shape of calling, allowing my dream soul to fly back every night. The mottled courtyard wall in the dream is full of distant flowers, just like my timid heart, full of the happiness of memories.

Both of these two sentences have no special vocabulary or rhetorical methods. However, the deep affection for hometown naturally makes the sentences touching when read. These two sentences are taken from my essay "Those Climbing Vines Wrap My Heart."

So, what this kind of language has is a kind of simple beauty. The beauty of simplicity pursues a natural expression and directly embodies emotions. It does not seem to be intentional, but it has a special charm. Simple language is not equal to ordinary language. The fundamental difference between them lies in whether there is an emotion in it. In fact, ordinary language can become beautiful sentences as long as emotions are incorporated and slightly transformed.

Give me an example. A few ordinary words like this: She stood by the river in the past, with a smile on her face, but she shed two lines of tears. It seems that everything is the same as before, like the wind, the water, the fragrance, life has never changed. This is a very ordinary paragraph, and it is also the first draft of the end of one of my articles. Later, when I was not satisfied with it, I decided to modify it. I want to add more and more of the emotion of loving life. What do you think should be changed?

So I made a slight adjustment based on the original text, and it became the following ending:

p>

She laughed and burst into tears. Standing by the river in the past, the wind was clear and the water was calm, as if everything was the same as before. Only the faint fragrance floats, the water passes without a trace, and life is still warm.

After the modification, it is still simple, but it reveals a kind of beauty, mainly to bring out the emotion more. I have revised the language of articles for many literary friends. I basically make slight changes without changing the meaning of the original sentence, which makes the sentence more energetic and charming. Although it can't be said to turn decay into magic, it is still different from the original. The above example sentence comes from my essay "As Clear as the Wind, As Quiet as the Water".

3. The Beauty of Philosophy

We often find it difficult to grasp the language of articles, especially some particularly rational statements or concluding revelations. It’s not that the writing is not profound enough. It's just boring and boring. It seems that purely rational things are difficult to write with literary grace and beauty. They either end up being preachy or monotonous. However, we can often see some philosophical sentences in some articles, which are beautiful and meaningful, leaving us with endless aftertaste. How to make language have philosophical beauty is a very important question and a difficult problem.

People tend to get bored easily when reading an article that talks about rationality throughout, but an article that adds stories and philosophy, if the concluding sentence in the article is not brilliant, will make people feel like it is superfluous. Therefore, the philosophical beauty of language will play an important role here.

I have an article called "Joy in the Heart". The front lists some small incidents, and the last paragraph is a summary. Of course, my writing may not be perfect. I will give you an example, maybe it can be a little better. Inspire. The ending is as follows:

On this late autumn afternoon, looking at the colorful Wuhua Mountain in the distance, looking at the red maples and boxwoods, looking at the green pines and white birches, I wandered among them, feeling very happy. Looking back on the road ahead, although I have been living in the world of human toil, there are so many little moments that make me unable to contain my joy. All the things that make me forget about the world are all the things I love in this mortal world. Although he has not entered the realm of coolness, he always feels joyful. In this way, although life is complicated and tiring, but with that joyful heart, it is still my most beautiful home.

I did not analyze the meaning of joy too much from a purely rational aspect. I just talked about what I thought in my heart and naturally integrated philosophy into the sentences, leaving readers with a beautiful space for imagination. To put it bluntly, it is best to start from your own inner thoughts and feelings instead of analyzing and elaborating too calmly, so that readers will feel excited and think about it instead of being bored by reading. That is to say, we need to pay attention to "I" and have self-awareness and emotions in it. Only then will there be a sense of intimacy and the philosophical language will be more dynamic. Just like Meng Haoran's landscape idyll, only with the consciousness of "I" can we be closer to the fireworks life. If philosophical articles and philosophical language want to rise to the level of beauty, they must first have "I". And some purely foreign stories with endings and insights are actually more of a calm retelling and mechanical summary. Although they have sufficient philosophy, they appear to be lacking in literary talent.

I wrote a lot of this kind of articles back then. If you are interested, you can read them, such as "The Time for a Flower to Bloom", "Sleeping Late to Love the Moon, and Getting Up Early to Cherish the Flowers", etc.

Of course, there are some articles, almost all of which are simply reasoning, but they are not stiff or monotonous, and they are even brilliant. Moreover, there is almost no trace of "I" in the article, but it can still touch people's hearts. Such an article requires the author's language skills to make boring theories vivid and monotonous sentences to be clever, which will have the beauty of philosophy.

IV. Poetic Beauty

Poetic beauty is a pure beauty in language, but it is not just a pile of gorgeous rhetoric, but may also incorporate a classical element. For example, the artistic conception in some Tang poetry and Song lyrics. It makes it read like a poem, a picture, a dream, and makes people intoxicated like drinking fine wine.

Choose an article that I selected as a reading question for the high school entrance examination, "Dream of Jiangnan".

Jiangnan in Dreams

I have never been to Jiangnan in my life. I wandered between the white mountains and black waters. The bustling smoke and willows often swayed in my dreams. I am used to seeing the white birch forest dancing in the mighty golden wind, and the boundless forest sea and snowfield. In the vast sky and earth, the spring rain of apricot blossoms begins to fall in my heart, covering the Four Hundred and Eighty Temple in the ancient poem.

As if a scroll was unfolded, the orioles singing ten miles away, the water villages and mountains slowly became the beautiful and gentle background of the dream. There is no cold, no ice and snow, just the breeze of willows and the red rain of apricot blossoms. It seems that it will always be the most beautiful April day in the world. Let your footsteps wander into the deep rain alley, and let your heart gently carry the fragrant melancholy. In such a scene, sadness becomes beautiful.

The women from the south of the Yangtze River should all be tall and graceful, with a slight smile and a low back, riding an orchid boat, expressing their wisdom, picking a flaming red lotus, and coming leisurely from the depths of time. Some people have peach blossoms on their faces, leaning against the wall and smelling green plum blossoms, or sitting on a swing in the courtyard with their skirts flying, or sitting with deep frowns, holding out all the remaining lamps. Thousands of moods, all kinds of charms, that smiling face slowly emerged from the depths of the graceful Song lyrics, and directly imprinted into my longing heart.

Men from the south of the Yangtze River should be full of talent and suave. They would wave their paper fans gently and walk in the mist-covered suburbs. They might want to drink and meet a woman, or they might carry a bottle of wine and go upstairs to compose a poem. Spread your feelings into the mountains and rivers. Their poems and songs made the history of Jiangnan carry too much affection from their families. Let me, who is far away in the world, fly thousands of miles in the fragrance of the book.

The talents and beauties from Jiangnan, the men’s talents and the women’s passion, all tell many stories after they meet. So there is a man's unforgettable thoughts and a woman's boundless resentment. Some stories, after thousands of years, have already become legends passed down from generation to generation and become a piece of beauty that speaks directly to people's hearts.

In fact, what attracts me more is the historical heritage of Jiangnan. Countless ups and downs have created a profound vicissitudes of life. The scenery of Jiangnan attracted the hearts of countless rulers, who wanted to occupy Jiangnan. Jiangnan, in their dreams, is a desire. At that time, Liu Yong's "Three Autumn Osmanthus, Ten Miles of Lotus" once attracted the benefactor Wan Yanliang to visit the south of the Yangtze River in person. After viewing the scenic spots in the south of the Yangtze River on the West Lake, he wrote with emotion: "Thousands of miles of carriages and books are all confused, so there is no other frontier in the south of the Yangtze River." Seal. Raise millions of troops to the West Lake and immediately mount the peak of Wu Mountain." This shows his ambition.

There is a spring breeze blowing ten miles away, and the bead curtains are rolling. There are also old fortresses rustling, and the mountains are pillowed by cold currents. The boundless wind and moon reflect the beauty of vicissitudes of life. This is Jiangnan, where the water contains spirituality, the mountains are rich, and the people love it. How could Jiangnan like this not become a place that people have longed for for thousands of years?

The Jiangnan in my dream is like a white lotus slowly blooming.

In this prose, there is a kind of classical beauty throughout. Some of the language uses famous poems and lines from previous generations, and even directly quotes the original poems to show the dreamed beauty of Jiangnan one by one. Therefore, you may wish to read more ancient poems in your free time, without having to memorize them. With regular exposure, you will naturally integrate the beauty of the artistic conception in ancient poems into the language of your own articles.

This is a kind of perseverance that lasts for a long time. As time goes by, you will naturally fall in love with poetry, and you will naturally develop your own language unconsciously.
