Usage of punctuation marks

There are double quotation marks and single quotation marks in the form of quotation marks. It belongs to the label in punctuation. General usage is as follows:

Express the words directly quoted in the text first. For example, in order to remind himself often, Lu Xun wrote a line on the bookmark: "Heart, mouth, eyes and reading." (clear: this is a direct quote from the text. Therefore, it is worth noting that after the quotation ends, the period should be in double quotation marks. ) 2. The adage "Suffer losses and benefit modestly" has been circulated for at least two thousand years today. (clear: this is also a direct quote. However, both "'be swayed by considerations of gain and loss, benefit from humility'" and "this maxim" have become appositive compound references, and * * * has become the subject of "cycle", so there is no need to add other punctuation after the contents in double quotation marks are over. ) On the way down the mountain, I don't know who sang Gao Shanqing, "The girl in Alishan is as beautiful as water. (Ming Ming: This is a declarative sentence. The author only quoted a lyric of Gao Shanqing as the content of his writing. So add a comma to the quotation mark of the quoted word to form a complete declarative content with other words. The horse written by modern painter Xu Beihong, as some critics have said, "has both form and spirit and is full of vitality." (clear: this sentence is similar to the example 2 mentioned above. Just refer to the location of the content, the former is the "subject" and the latter is the "object")

Second, express the object of emphasis. For example, the important feature of prose is "scattered in form but not in spirit". The so-called "form dispersion" mainly refers to the extensive and free use of materials in prose, which is not limited by time and space. The so-called "lingering" mainly comes from the conception of prose, that is, the central meaning it wants to express must be clear and concentrated; No matter how extensive the content is and how flexible the expression is, prose is all about expressing the central idea. (clear: the references involved in this paragraph belong to the total score relationship. "altogether"-"the form is scattered but the spirit is not scattered"; "Divide"-"Form is scattered" and "Spirit is not scattered". Therefore, the role of quotation marks here represents the object of important discussion)

3. Words that express special meanings. For example, (1) looking up from the foot of the mountain, I saw the torches arranged in many zigzags, stretching all the way to the sky, connected with the stars, and I couldn't tell whether they were torches or stars. (Clearly: the quotation of the word "Zhi" here actually represents the rhetorical device of "Moge", that is, the Panshan Highway is compared to the word "Zhi") ② In the era of "staying indoors", human beings can find out how big the distant stars are, how high the temperature is, what elements they have and how they move. (clear: "never leave home" is an idiom, which means never leave home. Describe shallow knowledge and narrow vision. The special meaning given here refers to our ancestors. Although in ancient times, technology was not as developed as it is today. However, they have been able to explore some mysteries of the universe from the earth. Clouds are like signs of weather. What kind of weather will happen when there are clouds hanging in the sky? (Clear: "signboard" originally refers to a sign hanging in front of a store, indicating the name of the store or the goods it deals in, as a sign of the store. The meaning here refers to all kinds of clouds in the sky, and experienced people will know the weather when they see them. It is better to have fewer "smart people" like "seeing the clouds and knowing the sun". (clear: the "wise man" with quotation marks here is actually irony, which is called irony in rhetoric. "Smart people", both "stupid")

In addition, when quotation marks are used inside quotation marks, double quotation marks are used outside and single quotation marks are used inside. For example, I can confidently answer: "Friend, don't people say' silence speaks louder than words'?" Obviously, the sentence "Silence speaks louder than words" is a direct speech. In order to show the hierarchy, single quotation marks should be used. Look at two examples of applying single quotation marks in double quotation marks. Such as: (1) "Sir, what's wrong with the bug' strange'? ..... "(Lu Xun's" From a Hundred Herbs Garden to a Three-Pond Moon ") (2)" Do you believe it? I drove dozens of miles, picked pieces by hand, bought them by kilogram, and then pulled them back by car. That is our' North Sea'. " (Xiao Gan's "Jujube Nucleus") (Clear: Example 1 bug② with single quotation marks highlighting "strange" ② Single quotation marks highlighting the place name "Beihai")
