A collection of short stories

From 2002 to 2004, "Under the Banyan Tree" began to cooperate with publishing houses on a large scale, giving every author the opportunity to use his strength to rise to the top, and fulfilling the literary dreams of countless literature lovers, which traditional literature could not do.

Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet. In the autumn of 2002, Yuan Qiuhua stopped diving and watched, and applied to be upgraded to an online author from a registered member under the banyan tree, and she would post some prose essays or write a few short stories every once in a while. After joining the literary club, she mainly published novellas of less than 20,000 words and short stories of less than 10,000 words, especially the Xiangchu Legend series, which received a good response. On the basis of the long-term accumulation of writing foundation and cultural heritage, she exerted her super imagination, used suspenseful and surprising penmanship, and took Zhou Yu's 48th granddaughter Zhou Miaozhu and Zhuge Liang's 49th Zhuge Wenshao to talk about the past and reminisce about the past as the starting point, and combined the anecdotes and wonders that circulated in the folk of Hunan and Chu, and wrote short novels of less than 5,000 words, a total of 30 articles. She continued to serialize it on the "Daily Masterpiece Column" under the banyan tree at the rate of updating one article a day.

Of course, she can't think of what Ma Youyi wrote when she thinks of anything, or when she writes the first chapter, she doesn't even know what to write in the second chapter? These materials are like a seed, coiled in her mind for several years, and after several years of emotional brewing, such as today's fate, nourished by the rain, began to sprout, grow, and finally became a big tree. A year ago, she had drawn up a writing outline, made a list of articles, divided the chronological timeline, listed the characters and events, wrote the synopsis of the story, and set the transition point of the chapter. The large frame is erected, waiting to be filled in with the small details. When she posted it on the Internet, she had prepared a large number of manuscripts in advance, and the article to be sent today was checked and proofread yesterday, and she only needed to upload it, and today's task was to revise and polish the article that would be spent tomorrow, even if it was changed to the early hours of the morning, and she stayed up all night to boil people out of the female ghost, until she was satisfied. Otherwise, 5,000 words a day, even writing for a month, even if Wenqu Xing goes down to earth, he can't do it!

The novel is divided into demons and monsters, murderous houses and haunted houses, strange people and strange people, strange treasures, witches and mages, and bandits and thieves. In terms of structure, the classes are connected by Hunan customs and customs, the villagers' feelings, and the chapters are connected by mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, temples and Taoist temples, and the class chapters are combined to form a series of collections. The story is told through the mouth of a hundred-year-old couple, like the gongs and drums of an opera troupe, and the characters appear one by one on the stage, reporting their family life experiences and telling their own life deeds.

Zhou Yin, the second son of Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms, was demoted to Ji'an, Jiangxi Province for offending Sun Quan with his words. The descendants of Zhou Yin will never return to Jiangdong from now on, and they will never return to Jiangdong. In the 100,000 mountains at the junction of Hunan, Chu and Jiangxi, find a natural boulder city, there are thousands of acres of flat land, 100 acres of lakes, dozens of meters high boulders, surrounded by all sides, it is a heavenly city wall, surrounded by primeval forests, protected in all directions, officials and thieves are not easy to find. The descendants of Zhou Yin moved into the Boulder City, cut down trees to build houses, opened up wasteland for farming, led lakes for irrigation, and lived in seclusion for generations. After the Jin Dynasty unified the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang's grandson Zhuge Jing was moved to the Central Plains by the new imperial court and recruited as an official. Among the Zhuge people who were unwilling to be loyal to the Cao family, they got in touch with the descendants of Zhou Yin and moved to Boulder City, mainly to grow medicinal herbs, and to treat people mainly when they traveled to Langzhong.

There is no shortage of people in the Zhuge tribe who cultivate immortals and go to the Tao, and they set up a Taoist site here and build a Taoist temple. At first, a word measurement and divination stall was set up in the downtown of the commercial port, showing people fortune-telling, and trying to have food and clothing. After the villagers heard that it was the famous minister of the Three Kingdoms, they were all in awe. In the land of Hunan and Chu, since ancient times, the people believe in ghosts and gods, worship witches, respect the mage, and when they encounter disasters, they think that they are ghosts and monsters, so they ask God to worship Buddha, and ask the sorcerer to get up the altar to do the trick on his behalf. Zhuge Liang spread a lot of witchcraft among the people of Wu and Chu, such as casting spells on the riverside to cause fog, then borrowing arrows from grass boats, setting up a seven-star altar to worship the sky and borrowing the east wind, and then burning the red cliffs, driving wooden oxen and horses to transport grain and grass, which is what mortals can do? Zhuge Liang is a great immortal of witchcraft who cultivates witchcraft and attains Taoism in the eyes of people!

The Taoist priest preached to the outside world, saying that Zhuge Liang was the best star in the sky and descended to earth, and Jiang Ziya was reincarnated, and it was impossible to be like a mortal, who died in Wuzhang Yuan due to illness, but in fact, he ascended to heaven and returned to the fairy world. The ancestors blessed the descendants, secretly passed on the art of immortality, and his daughter Zhuge Guo practiced according to the technique, and became an immortal and ascended to heaven after the mourning period expired. The mountain is not afraid of height, and there is a fairy name, attracting the officials and people of the three provinces to work tirelessly and come to worship over the mountains and mountains. In the Tang and Song dynasties, Buddhism was respected as the state religion, the government and the opposition were still Buddhas, the Taoist temples of the megalithic city were prosperous, and the pilgrims from Hunan, Chu and Jiangxi were endless. In the primeval forest in the east, there is a lot of inconvenience for pedestrians, so you cut one, I cut one, and after a long time, I actually cut out a road. The folk customs were originally still Wu Zun Dao, and the Taoist claimed to inherit the mantle of Zhuge ancestors, and get its true inheritance, even if it was a vicious ghost and a powerful god, as long as the sacrifice was successful, it could be dealt with. The natural name shocks the countryside, and the visitors are like clouds. The road is long, the people donate, the temple hall, the mountain tower is chiseled, the cliff is repaired and the stone ladder is repaired, and more than 10,000 stone steps connect the inside and outside, completely breaking the silence of the megalithic city.

In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the villagers were coerced in troubled times, living and seeking perfection but living quietly. In order to escape the war and disputes, the villagers of the three provinces also moved to Boulder City one after another, and later built houses on the nine surrounding hills. With the expansion of the village, the trade of goods became more and more prosperous, and the Giant Stone City, located at the junction of the three provinces, became the primary checkpoint connecting the three provinces. Since the establishment of the mountain, charlatans, rogues, snitches, etc., have looked down on the Zhou family and the Zhuge family's military books, medical books, secret recipes, and secret techniques, and have come batch after batch like moths to a fire. Zhuge Liang's twentieth generation Sun Zhuge Lunru, using the natural mountain location, according to Zhuge Liang's Bagua array graphics, will be around the nine hills of the village included, with the lake as the center, with eight upper lanes and lower tunnels of the building complex radiating outward, to change the forest, waterfall and ditch, build bridges and walls to dig holes, dig rivers and canals to preach, tactful twists and turns like a labyrinth, and buried countless pits, hiding large and small organs, the overall design layout is in the shape of nine palace gossip, with a unique defense function, so that the uninvited are not dead and disabled.

After 20 years of efforts from the whole city, the renovation project was finally successfully completed. Because it is easy to enter and difficult to get out, the rivers and lakes are rogues, bandits and bandits, and after the loss of soldiers, it is rumored that the boulder is a ghost coffin, the lake is a ghost face, the underground is a ghost cave, the boulder city is a ghost grave city, and the nine surrounding mountains are ghost villages. Those who hear it are full of caution, and the murderous house and haunted house are far away, and they are the first to save their lives. From then on, whether it was Li Chuangbing, the Qing soldiers, the Taiping army, or the warlord soldiers, the Northern Expeditionary Army, or the Japanese soldiers, they did not dare to enter rashly, so they were safe.

But the world was complicated, and the fortress was not destroyed by the invasion of foreign enemies, but collapsed by internal rebellion. The young people born after the liberation accepted the call to break the four olds, and knocked the ancient books, ancient cities, traditions, and old people to the ground as cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and then destroyed the old order, the old homeland, and rushed to the new world and the new world. The children of a 100-year-old couple settle down in the city outside the mountains and return home once a year. In the blink of an eye, another 20 years have passed, and the grandchildren of the old couple have also gone to work in the big city, and the great-grandchildren have studied in the city, grown up and worked, and do not come back once in a few years.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the elders of the two ethnic groups in Jushi City held a solemn ancestor worship ceremony according to custom*. Zhuge Wenshao wore a Taoist robe, wore a Taoist crown, held a peachwood sword, danced, and recited the sacrificial words in his mouth. Zhou Miaozhu was dressed in a plain and elegant robe, kneeling on the side, the guzheng was flat on his legs, his hands were caressing the strings, and he played the sacrificial song. The dance is over, and the song is over. The old people knelt down and bowed to their ancestors. After worshipping, they looked up at the family heirloom of military books and medical books on the desk, guarding a table of mountain delicacies, and couldn't help but tearfully ask each other: Did we fail our ancestors, or did our children and grandchildren abandon us?

For online literature, the more curious the content, the more eye-catching. The suspense of the ecstasy array, the horror and horror story, can stimulate people's sensory experience and leave a deep impression. The number of hits for each article is about 5,000, and there are so many comments that her articles, three out of ten, can be recommended to the headlines and have tens of thousands of clicks.

The fish that flew ashore, commented on the first article: The beginning is very attractive! The text is good, very readable, adhere to the code word will be rewarded, come on author!

Yuan Qiuhua replied: Thank you. I hope you will support us and give us advice!

The second part, the fish that flew ashore said: The real vernacular novel, the simple style, the strong natural atmosphere is blowing in the face, I haven't seen this kind of pure vernacular novel for a long time, all the blessings are sent. Come on, author! Keep up the good work! I wish you to become a god as soon as possible!

Yuan Qiuhua said: Your support is my motivation.

The fish that flew ashore read the third chapter and said: I have read the first three chapters roughly, and I have to say that the first three chapters are very well written, very good, come on! Reading the first three chapters, there seems to be no big problem, the only flaw is that some symbols are used incorrectly, such as the symbol "........." in the article, which is not an ellipsis. The first requirement for signing a contract is the symbol, although the online text is not like a regular book, but the basic symbol still cannot be misused, or even abused. And ha, take the time to typeset the introduction, the introduction is very clear, concise, just a large number of dense paragraphs, but it is inconvenient for readers to see at a glance. Come on, look forward to the signing of the masterpiece.

Yuan Qiuhua said: I have been negligent for a while, thank you for the reminder! In the future, I will definitely pay attention.

sent to the tenth article, the stray cat, said: Seeing now, I really can't help but want to write a few sentences. The language is concise, the narrative is clean, there are no flowery words, there is no thrilling plot, it will not make people's blood boil, and it will not be sad and tearful. It's like a film and television drama, you will smile easily after watching it. The hundred-year-old couple ridiculed their various encounters, used funny to be brilliant, and witty to show wisdom, which all depends on the author's pen power. Because of the funny rhetoric, if you don't do it well, it often drags the plot into a vulgar quagmire. The old couple are like children, naughty, playful, playful, so cute!

Yuan Qiuhua said: Because you are cute, your words are cute.

Twenty-five articles were posted, and the fish that flew ashore said: This work, I think, should be pure literature, the author put it on the Internet as popular literature publication, not only condescending, but also frustrated, is there a five-character formula for pure literary appreciation and work analysis: lies are pure, dead words are new, redundant words are clean, cover is wind, compromise is bone. Writers speak entirely on the text, not by the support of authoritative figures, not by the pursuit of low-level fans, with an uncompromising tenacious attitude, to create a sincere, aesthetically significant text, and rely on this text to hit the audience's aesthetic expectations, so as to obtain the audience's heartfelt affirmation. This is "success" in the true sense, right? Believe me, you will stand out, never give up, persistence is victory!

Saibei's wolf said: It is easy to lose the courage to persevere in long-term writing, and authors need to support and encourage each other. This book is written in a purely subjective way, simply reflecting the external world with the inner thoughts of the characters. I guess it's very autobiographical. It seems that the author is only showing himself as it is, and does not influence the reader with an objective eye. And the reader is moved, happy, or painful because he sees his own shadow in it. In this way, the simpler the author's inner world, the better. The more simple and unbiased, the more it can fully reflect the truth of the world and resonate with readers. A heart that has gone through vicissitudes and is still sincere is enough to make all the rules and precepts shameful. But it takes care to write this way. Only with the heart can we always maintain an innocent heart, and see the whole world through this heaven and earth without being polluted by it, and can we write a perfect inner world. Come on, I've got you covered!

All serialized. Bitter coffee and sweetened milk said: The author uses a pair of cold eyes of the characters, a point of silence, and the feelings of an old man at the end of the century, to describe integrity and ethics, comprehension and perspective, and the sharp change of the world and human feelings. The narrative time of the work is from the ancient Emperor Yan to the end of the century, and the characters involved in the three religions and nine streams, the five elements and eight works, the three aunts and six women, the details are spread out to present the scattered rice spiritualism method for treating soul disorder, the gong and drum method of cracking the ghost press, burning incense, offering sacrifices, chanting and casting spells when inviting the gods, burning paper money, throwing bowls, burning cypress branches, etc., as well as the feng shui of the yin cave and yang house, and the establishment of the dark road and the pit. Needless to say, a writer is actually a miscellaneous, in addition to having basic literary skills, the minimum ability to express words, but also to have a wide range of knowledge, only by reading more and asking more questions, knowing more, writing more, in order to write well; in daily life, but also good at observing and thinking, from every detail of life to find the story, so as to think out the truth, develop good habits, life is the source of your writing.

The plot of the story is not shocking, but the gratifying thing is the writing, that is, the language of the paintings, which is short, bright, clean and elegant. There is no big problem with the author's narration, the flaw lies in the words spoken by the characters, which do not match the identity and environment, especially the dialogue of the characters, especially when a group of people speak, only people with deep writing skills and skilled writing skills can do a good job.

Yuan Qiuhua said: My eyesight is amazing, when it comes to the point, I will work hard to improve!

The old man chatted about the juvenile madness and said: This series of works is a vernacular novel with a strong folk flavor, the author puts the background of the story in the past era, and depicts the ancestors of Yan and Huang, the nobles of the kings and grandsons of Hunan and Chu, the famous sons of the Three Kingdoms, and the various characters of the three religions and nine streams at the bottom of the society, with a unique aesthetic charm. The author has carefully depicted various traditional customs and etiquette, such as food and daily life, weddings and funerals, and the language is witty and gentle, and the writing is beautiful and fluent, with the ancient style of Wei and Jin, and he is good at using refined colloquial language to express the water and soil he is familiar with. While telling the stories of the characters, it also shows the cultural traditions that are now little known, showing the ignorant and mysterious life of the villagers in the rough and even ugly state of the countryside.

The law of the market and the economic law of quick success have torn off the veil of warmth and affection between family members, and people have become profit-seeking and ruthless. The rupture of the intergenerational inheritance of traditional culture has led to young people not knowing what tradition is, and not understanding the value and significance of cultural integrity and humanistic ethics at all. Tradition is not the same as conservatism, but it is the same as being inclusive and inclusive. Culture is the crystallization of civilization passed down from generation to generation, the accumulation of knowledge, and the norms of behavior.

The old man talks a lot about traditional education here, because the author is actively extending the positive aspects of traditional culture, because he is different from customs, has a conscience, and has a sense of responsibility, and dares to make his own voice, so he encourages it.

Yuan Qiuhua said: Salute! Learn from your predecessors!

The stubborn ear said: The author's writing is very fresh and elegant, the plot arrangement is also very exciting, and each story is self-contained and independent, and can be published as a single novel. This is an innovation in exploration, the expression skills of writing, and after at least ten years of hard practice, I have initially found a little way. It is not the historical events that drive the development of the story, but the inner emotions of the characters, and although the ending is inevitable, it is unwilling. No matter how big the online article market is, it does not mean that it can produce high-quality products, but the author can continue to work hard and strive to form a unique style. The rest, depending on talent, hard work and luck, quit being spoilt and rash, forbearance, diving, honing internal strength and mind, judging the situation, and getting up at the right time, this is not something that can be learned from books.

Today's literary world is dominated by middle-aged and elderly people, who are responsible for gaining authority and fame and fortune, and regard the younger generations as rivals, wanting to eradicate them as soon as possible, unwilling to pass them on, not being able to concede, only engaging in literary monopoly, and bullying the weak. Moreover, there is a phenomenon of a large number of editors reciprocal articles between journals and publications, and newcomers have little chance of getting ahead in traditional media. Novels are best sold for film and television rights, but there are huge differences in the aesthetics of different screenwriters, and they may be changed beyond recognition. If it weren't for the popular online articles with its own fans, the conditions for publishing the book would be quite harsh, for example, you will be required to publish it at your own expense, and you will be required to use all royalties to buy books.

Yuan Qiuhua said: I am just a storyteller, try to tell stories interestingly. Others, don't want to, it's useless to think about it. Do your best, depending on the will of God.

The white-eyed ancestor said: You have real talent and real learning, I suggest that you write while going to work. First apply for a job as a newspaper editor, or a plot planner, or a brand planner, or a radio screenwriter, or an advertising copywriter, that is the serious job. For the above occupations, you can get a salary of several thousand per month, you can know the publishing house, and you can publish a book at your own expense, and it is no problem to send it to relatives and friends.

Submissions to literary newspapers and magazines first, essay essays, mini-novels, and generally speaking, short and concise manuscripts are more popular regardless of the medium. Now, any editor who has some connections still hopes to ask for a manuscript from a celebrity. If a newcomer wants to get ahead, it usually takes a few years of training. Don't be in a hurry, first be able to write some manuscripts piecemeal, and then wait until this batch of magazine writers transform into writing books, or can't stand to quit this circle, and newcomers will slowly come up. Round after round, it's all like this.

Let's rely on the old and sell the old, and tell me again, don't be a gunman. The gunners are mostly talented young people, and those big screenwriters who have become famous and have become famous are responsible for dividing the number of episodes, sorting out the general plot, contracting one episode at a time, and handing over the specific details, such as lines or actions, to the gunman to write. Because the gunman is not famous and is not qualified to negotiate terms with the big screenwriters, he will often fail to sign a contract, default on the manuscript fee, revise excessively, and have a mental breakdown. Remember, don't be a gunman, just be a screenwriter if you want to do it, even if it's a small job, you have to talk directly to the producer, remember to sign a contract, write an episode with money for an episode, and don't write it if you don't give money, so as not to finish writing, if you don't get the money, your name will be replaced by someone else.

Yuan Qiuhua said: Life is not easy, let you worry about it all the time, I'm really embarrassed!
