The scenery is inherently beautiful, but it is difficult for us to record the beautiful scenery in front of us. Three tricks to make the scenery you write "alive" before your eyes.
1. Grasp the characteristics of the scenery.
So how to capture the characteristics of the scenery? Four keys allow you to capture the characteristics of the scenery.
(1) Fixed-point scenery changing method.
The fixed-point scenery-changing method is to first find a foothold to observe the scenery and describe the scenery in different directions in a certain order. However, in the process of describing, you must remember not to change the standpoint from which you observe the scenery, so that the described scenery will have clear layers and make the scenery "live" in front of you, as if you were there in person.
So, when it comes to writing order, we can divide it from time and space. Chronological order refers to describing a scene in the order from morning to evening, from January to December, and from spring to winter. There are several types of spatial order: from the whole to the part, from high to low, from far to near, from left to right, from east to west, from inside to outside or from outside to inside.
For example, Ba Jin's "Sunrise on the Sea" is to watch the sunrise from a fixed viewing point. First, "The sky turned into light blue" and then "The horizon appears." "A red cloud", and after a while, "a small half of the sun appeared", and then, "slowly and step by step, it worked hard to rise upwards", and finally, "broke through the clouds" and "jumped out of the water." The footing remains unchanged, but the scenery is constantly changing.
(2) Change the scene step by step.
The method of changing scenery while moving is very similar to the method of changing scenery at a fixed point. The difference between the step-by-step scene-changing method and the fixed-point scene-changing method lies in this point. In the step-by-step scene-changing method, the footing point for observing the scenery changes, and the scene picture is changed through the changing footing point. This writing method is more suitable for travel notes.
But there are two points that we must pay attention to when writing. The first point is to capture the distinctive scenery to describe. Don't write down all the scenery you saw, so as to avoid a running account. The second point is to grasp a center to describe the scenery. All the scenery you describe must be written around this center to avoid fragmented pictures that make readers feel confused.
For example, in Liu Zongyuan's "The Story of Little Stone Pond", the article is written according to the order of the author's visit. He first writes about the discovery of Little Stone Pond, then describes the scenery in the pond, and then writes about the origin of Little Stone Pond and the things in the pond. atmosphere, and finally recorded the fellow travelers, making the whole travelogue structure complete.
(3) Five senses combination method.
The five senses here refer to vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. When we write, we must learn to mobilize our senses. We can see the beautiful scenery with our eyes, listen to the sounds with our ears, smell the fragrance with our nose, taste the food with our tongue, and touch everything with our hands.
For example, when the tide comes every day, you hear the sound of sea waves hitting the rocks, and see droplets rising and falling in the sky like drizzle, morning mist, and dusk smoke. The fishy smell rushed into our window lattice, stuck to our bodies, and moistened everything in the room.
Describe the scenery through your five senses to make the scenery more vivid.
(4) Combination of dynamic and static methods.
Nothing is absolutely static or in absolute motion. When we describe scenery, we can capture the dynamic and static movements of the natural scenery, animals, and characters we see.
So, how to describe static? We can capture the shape of the scene to describe it, such as color, size, length, etc.
How to describe the dynamics? We can describe some activities of animals and characters, such as playing and playing, etc. In fact, natural scenery is also dynamic. For example, the breeze blows and the grass bends.
2. Scenario blending.
Remember, in a good article, emotion and scene are interdependent. The mountains and rivers we write about are all the mountains and rivers in our hearts. After being rendered by our emotions, these mountains and rivers also have our own distinctive personality.
For example, the moon is crooked, and the full moon of lovesickness is thinned into a small boat; the river is crescent, and the long tenderness caresses both sides; the path is crooked, and you can see the scenery of love; the longing is crooked, and it turns around. I can't turn my thoughts away. Love, warm and romantic!
The scenes blend together, pin your emotions on the scenery, dye the scenery with your emotions, and make the article more connotative.
3. Beautiful words.
To describe the scenery, the words and sentences must be beautiful to attract people. So what should be done to be able to do it? I'll help.
Appropriate use of rhetorical techniques. Our commonly used rhetorical techniques include the following: metaphor, personification, parallelism, hyperbole, metonymy, repetition, quotation, parallelism, etc.
For example, I am walking on the sidewalk on a rainy day. The light raindrops fell on the umbrella, but they refused to slide down along the umbrella. Instead, they danced happily on the umbrella.
Look, using rhetorical techniques, the article becomes much more beautiful, isn’t it?
The scenery is so beautiful. After mastering the above methods, are you still afraid that the scenery you write will not be beautiful?
