Dry goods coming: master these, you are one step closer to the successful creation of Baidu encyclopedia

Taking each encyclopedia entry as an article, any article should have a reasonable logic. Therefore, only logical entries are readable. Baidu encyclopedia, as a professional and authoritative Chinese knowledge platform, any verbose and upside-down statements are no way to pass.

More often than not, it is not that we express ourselves poorly, but that our expression lacks logic. A good Baidu encyclopedia, is to have to have a rigorous logical thinking

A logical narrative

1, the body can be logically elaborated on the content of the entry

Wikipedia entries should be arranged in line with the understanding of the general logic of things.

Encyclopedia entries in the common narrative logic include: from the main to secondary, from the whole to part, from the general to the special, from the cause to the result, from the concept to the application, chronological order, spatial order and so on.

For example, in the case of clothing entries, they should be introduced in the order from major to minor, such as origin and development, production process, cultural characteristics, historical value, non-heritage heritage, anecdotes, and related controversies, etc. It is not appropriate to introduce related controversies first and the origin of the development last;

Enterprise entries should be edited in accordance with the characteristics of the word editing requirements, and the table of contents should at least include "Development history", "company business", "company scale", "company management", "corporate culture". The content of the big event is generally used as a weak related content, it is not recommended to write.

Idiomatic entries, in accordance with the editorial requirements of the featured version, idiomatic allusions must include all the necessary directories, and the word count of the entries must not be less than 1,000 words (less than 1,000 words can only be awarded to the high-quality version). The mandatory catalog includes five categories: idiom source/original source, idiom story/alleged idiom, idiom symbol/alleged symbol, and idiom application/alleged application.

There are narrative logics that are commonly found in literary works but are not recommended for encyclopedic entries. For example, from secondary to primary, from special to general, from application to concept, and so on.

2, the overview can summarize the main content of the entry

For a certain length (about one thousand words) of the entry, it is necessary to add a business card. The overview is the main component of the business card.

Overview is a brief introduction to the content of the entry, the user reads the overview should understand the basic content of the entry.

At a minimum, the overview should contain the following: define the topic of the entry, summarize the most important aspects of the entry (including any obvious controversies), and explain why what the entry describes is interesting or noteworthy.

Two, the rational division of content hierarchy

Using a table of contents to divide the content hierarchy can make the encyclopedia entry clearly organized, beautiful layout, and has a great value to the readability of the entry. The hierarchy should follow a pyramidal structure, dividing the content of the entry into a reasonable number of parts (first level of catalog), each of which can be further divided into smaller parts (second level of catalog).

For example, in the case of an entry on attractions:

The following lists some of the principles that should be followed when dividing the content hierarchy.

1, the basic principles of the pyramid structure

The pyramid structure should follow the following basic principles - each component is independent of each other and does not overlap, but together they are completely exhaustive and do not leave out.

The components in the structure of an entry such as Attractions are consistent with this basic principle. On the contrary, the "name determination" and "word positioning" overlap with each other and are not suitable for appearing in the first level of directory at the same time, the "main categories" and "notes" should be the "main categories" and "notes". Note" should be a secondary catalog under the "name determination" primary catalog.

2, the same level of catalog should be established in a dimension

The same level of catalog should be established in the same dimension, there is a certain juxtaposition. Such as oriented to the different sides of the same issue, or list several components of the same level.

For example, the first level of catalogs such as "Name Determination", "Important Structures", and "Positioning of Words" are all a side of the attraction, while the " FAQ" first-level catalog, "general issues", "special issues" and other second-level catalogs are a part of the FAQ. It is not appropriate to put the contents of different dimensions under the same level of catalog, such as "general problems" "special problems" and so on are listed in the first level of catalog is not appropriate.

3, the same level of directory in line with the logic of the narrative

Each level of directory, each level of directory between the second level of directory, should be in line with the logic of the narrative, such as from the main to the secondary, from the whole to the part, from the general to the special, from the cause to the result, from the concept to the application of the temporal order, spatial order, and so on.

For example, the secondary directory under the "Frequently Asked Questions" directory is narrated in the order from ****ity to personality.

4, the level of detail does not exceed three

Generally speaking, the level of detail of the encyclopedia entries to no more than three appropriate. Less content of the entry can only use a directory or do not use the directory, more content of the entry can use the second level of directory, each second level of directory and then expand a few sub-topics (third level) for the discussion of each sub-topic to dozens to hundreds of words appropriate; but each sub-topic is not suitable for splitting into a few topics are discussed separately, and should not have too long length.

For example, when writing the entry "Shanghai Disney Resort", the content of the "Disneyland" subdirectory under the "Main Attractions" subdirectory will include "Mickey Street", "Wonderland", "Fantasyland", "Islands of Adventure", "Treasure Bay", and Abstract summary, rather than the unrestrained pursuit of details. What should be written into the entry, and what should not, can be found in Baidu Encyclopedia: The Complete Entry Structure.

For example, a TV director's entry shouldn't list the cast list and subplots of each of his/her works; an actor's entry shouldn't list every variety show he/she has participated in.

2, to avoid the noise

Baidu encyclopedia content should be clear, so that readers can more clearly understand a topic, to avoid misleading readers due to unclear main and secondary.

For example, in a literary work, the author's information is to assist the reader to understand the poem itself, if too much focus on the author's introduction, it may mislead the reader to read the author's information and ignore the literary work itself; an artist's entry should not be a large record of the content of one of the general interviews.

Generally speaking, if there is a need to introduce another entry related to it, the length of its content should not exceed the length of a general overview. For example, "Chongqing West Railway Station" entry on the introduction of Chongqing, "solar system" entry on the introduction of the planets, etc., to summarize it can be, without the need for a large portrayal. You can use the main entry module to link to related entries.
