The recommended articles are all my favorite, and of course I am happy to continue my hobby.
But in the past six months, more and more homogeneous articles have been screened, and it is increasingly difficult to find words that can make me shine or feel the same.
It seems that there is a kind of "virus" that spreads freely in mobile phone information and assimilates a lively ip.
Looking back on this year, I am also exploring how to write, so as not to become a machine that outputs words.
However, after reading some paid writing courses, I still can't accept the so-called writing routine or the universal template in the course. Although the course claims that making money like this is not a problem. I also want to have a manuscript fee, but I always feel uneasy about writing like this.
I always feel that such an article is like a product polished on a machine, except for the number, there is no recognition.
However, it seems that this trend is still overwhelming, so that when I screen in the app, the speed is getting faster and faster.
One day, I couldn't stand the illusion of repeating it hundreds of times and bought last year's Reader magazine online.
It is here that I find that different authors have different souls.
Great writers like Lin Qingxuan and Jia Pingwa, rare little writers, and foreigners who can't read their names. There has never been a measured scale in their articles, as if these words are just petals scattered on the ground when the soul walks: naturally, readers can reproduce the author's walking posture and trajectory.
I also read Sea of Life and Biography of Hulan River, and found the same words. After different people arranged and combined, the work came out into a classic.
Some are delicate and powerful, while others are simple but direct at human nature.
Sometimes less than ten words, but let an image emerge in my mind, needless to say; Sometimes just one sentence can make readers sweat behind their backs and think: how can I be like myself?
This is the yearning for writing. Spiritual, not the product of the production line; Simple, but enlightening.
Of course, I still have a long way to go. I used to contribute to magazines with confidence, and all of them sank into the sea.
I really bought a magazine and read it before I knew how much I was poor.
Read an article written by Pan about bitter gourd.
If I write about bitter gourd, I will probably know how bitter it is and how it can enter the homes of ordinary people. Then write why parents like it and how the younger generation can't accept it. Then write a topic about two generations.
Pan's bitter gourd has life.
At the beginning of the article, she said:
Bitter gourd "won't like it until after 35 years old", because in middle age, "I realized that the aftertaste is more important than the' front taste'."
In a word, bitter gourd quotes, telling the progress of a person's soul depth from middle age.
Then, the author's mother told her the characteristics of bitter gourd: when cooking soup together, other dishes will not become bitter, only bitter gourd itself is bitter.
So bitter gourd is also called "gentleman's dish".
The author recalled the bitter gourd of "not suffering others, only suffering himself" and shed tears.
Here, bitter gourd is not just a vegetable, but a person who has hardships, silently bears them and does not interfere with the beauty of others. Yes, it's a person.
The author shed tears, not only because he was moved by the spirit of bitter gourd, but also because he probably remembered someone close to him, such as bitter gourd, who suffered the pain of life alone and shed tears in his memory.
One flower and one world, such an article is enough to make people move and stay for a long time.
It's not a massive anxiety, it's not a groan without pain, it's just a heart slowly chanting. The chanted words have become words, adhering to the unique attitude of each soul, which is beyond the reach of mass production articles.
Similarly, there is teacher Dan Tianfang, a storyteller. What he said is a book, not exactly that book.
Sassu has an article about Dan Tianfang.
Biography of Tong Lin talks about Hunyuan Xia, Li, An, Ji and purple-faced Kunlun Xia ... He talks a lot about' Xia', and he (Dan Tianfang) will suddenly say' How much is a knight?' "
This sentence comes from Master Dan Tianfang himself. Although I haven't read the biography of Tonglin, I can guess from this sentence: chivalrous men sell by the catty. How many "heroes" who claim to be heroes but can't do chivalrous things are fooling around in the Jianghu?
It can be said that with Master Dan Tianfang, books are more vivid. Every book is the same if you read it, but only the book in his mouth seems to be alive.
Is it disrespectful for readers to rely on templates to mass-produce copywriting? I dare not jump to conclusions, but I feel that writing articles is still for readers. This is the way to go.
