Text Appreciation:

Shen Congwen wrote this article is written from two aspects: the appearance of Laha congee (direct writing Laha congee, actual writing Laha congee). People love to drink Laha congee (side writing Laha congee is a delicacy that makes people salivate, false writing Laha congee).

The first natural paragraph of the general description of Laha congee, using the "combination of real and imaginary" writing method, also known as "positive, side description" method. The central idea is that Laha congee is a delicacy that everyone loves to drink.

The next part of the text can be divided into two parts, one of which is "waiting for congee" and the other is "drinking congee". The last natural paragraph of the text is written like this: "dinner table, leaning against the mother of Barr, stomach has become a small drum. The two chopsticks on the table beside him were, romantically, arranged in a cross.

The half bowl of stale bacon in the big blue bowl on the table, the father and mother of the eight children can't help it." The stomach into a small drum, is indirectly saying, Lapa congee is a delicacy, everyone loves to drink. Father and mother, even Chen bacon are not willing to eat, that Laha congee has satisfied their appetite, Laha congee is better than gourmet Chen bacon, or is saying that Laha congee is gourmet.

"Drinking congee" is the same as the first natural paragraph to express the central meaning.
