101 On Writing (82) "The Rhythm of Writing"

When I was reading a book at 101 today, I suddenly found a problem, when I read very gripping content, I would read it word by word in my heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

And when it doesn't appeal to me enough, I'm at a glance.

Ordinary words that attract me, I am jumping to read out loud in my heart, and the words that are generally combined with groups are swept over at once, and the key information is extracted in my heart.

Then I was wondering, whether I wanted to study the knowledge inside, and I went to the group to discuss it with everyone, not to mention, I really had a big harvest and discovered the "rhythm of the text".

You must have swept the impression of this passage

v(914219443)18:37:11

"Ah, Han Yu?"

I don't know how long it took, but slowly, in the darkness, I became able to hear my own heartbeat and breathing. Barely opening his eyes, he seemed to see some vague shadows flickering in front of him.

Blood and corpses, evil rituals of transformation, and ......

"Lilia!"

v(914219443)18:37:16

You may read this paragraph

Especially Lilia's three words

Because the previous paragraph is information, and the next paragraph adds emotions and the like =, so you will read it because you want to experience the feelings of that guy all of a sudden

The above is an example and point of view of V, and then 101 read the second paragraph repeatedly, and I found that I would shout in my heart when the character shouted out, because it was a strong expression of emotion.

The first half of each sentence, if it is a situation that is seen in it, will also be read out in the heart, and the rest will be scanned to make an impression, and then the key words, such as heartbeat and breathing, will also be read out.

The more the story appeals to me, the more I slow down and try to read more words out of my mind.

I feel that in the process of reading, readers can help construct the picture imagined in their minds by ingesting keyword information, and when the length of the text is combined and expressed in rhythm, such as the beauty of poetry or prose, readers can't help but read it in their hearts and experience the beauty contained in it.

If you don't have a sense of rhythm enough, you can only scan keywords and move forward quickly.

ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼

For example, a sentence that is absolutely swept away -

It was a ten-meter-long bloody machete handed down by the ancestor.

Rewrite it, and it will definitely read -

Knife, a ten-meter machete.

Dripping with blood, it fell to the ground with a clattering sound.

It was handed down by the ancestor, and the name was called-

Blood Pig Killing Knife!

Then someone in the group tried to express it in short sentences, but unfortunately it was a little trivial-

When I was a child, my father told me that my grandfather was a knife maker.

His knife is fast. I didn't understand this, but one day I found a long knife in the attic, a red blade, like undried blood.

I triumphantly went to my father and told him that my knife was also fast.

He didn't laugh, saying that the ancestor didn't rely on the sharpness of his weapons, but on the speed of his hands.

Adjust it with the ancient dragon body and see the effect-

When I was a child, my father told me that my grandfather was a knife maker.

Grandfather's knife lay quietly in the attic, the red blade like undried blood.

The blood pierced my eyes, burned my heart like fire, and made my blood boil.

I could hear it calling.

Come on, let's fight together!

At the beginning of each paragraph, repeat the last sentence of the previous paragraph.

Take the object as the new subject.

This structure is interesting because each paragraph repeats the content at the end of the previous paragraph, forming a cascading and emotionally reinforcing process.

ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼

In short, the writing should pay attention to rhyme, and the arrangement of the content should also try to attract readers with vivid and interesting plots, and in terms of expression, learn to use long and short sentence combinations, aesthetic word combinations, etc., which will bring beauty to their novels, so as to attract readers to read carefully and enhance their attractiveness.

Of course, reading a novel is through the expression of words, and the intention group brings the reader into the context of the story, and every line of text enters the eyes, as if a musical note has been heard into the ear, or makes people accept information, or arouses people's emotions, and the mystery is really endless.

How to introduce people into the world of fiction with one stroke, it is really necessary to follow a law of expression, not to be underestimated...

Originally, I posted it, but when I read Jin Yong's "Blue Blood Sword", I found that this problem had not been thoroughly analyzed, so I continued.

Dong Xuan said: "Well, that's really lucky. As soon as we got the news, the senior brother passed down an urgent order, and the disciples of the immortal capital gathered in Beijing. We met Miss Jiao on the way to Beijing, so it goes without saying. The senior brother arrived before us, and he met He Tieshou in a narrow way. The scumbag actually made sarcastic remarks, which was very rude. The senior brother started to move with her, this cheap maid had slippery hands and feet, the senior brother did not pay attention, and the forehead was hit by the iron hook in her left hand, and she was hit by five hidden weapons in the lower plate. She only said that this secret weapon was highly poisonous, and the senior brother would definitely not survive, so she sneered a few times and left. Fortunately, the senior brother has superb internal skills, and he knows that his opponent has poison all over his body, so he has taken a lot of antidotes before the competition, and he has brought all kinds of external antidote ointments around him, so he has not suffered. ā€

If you casually excerpt a paragraph from Jin Yong's novel, you will find that every short sentence in his prose is about 10 words, and there are rarely more than 15 long sentences, so it is not tiring to read.

Looking at the structure again, if he reads each short sentence separately, the meaning is relatively complete, and there are both subject, verb and object, so it is in line with the absorption of the meaning group when people read, because when a short sentence is read, a meaning enters the heart.

However, if the sentence is long, the structure is missing or bloated, the reader is reluctant to read it carefully, and skipping will occur.

Like what:

"We" is the subject, "Dexun" is the predicate, and "one" is the adverb.

The elder brother then passed down the urgent order - the subject of "senior brother", the predicate of "passing down", the object of "urgent order", and the adverb of "convenience".

The disciples of Xiandu gather together in Jingshi - the subject of "disciple", the definite sentence of "Xiandu", the predicate of "Qiji", and the complement of "Jingshi".

But if you rephrase a long sentence:

When we first got Xun, the senior brother passed down an urgent order for the Xiandu disciples to gather in the capital.

The first phrase is incomplete, and the second phrase has another sentence in it, so unlike poetry, which has a rhyme, the reader skips the words in it.

The senior brother arrived before us, and he met He Tieshou in a narrow way. The scumbag actually made sarcastic remarks, which was very rude. (Even the adverbial is postposed here, which is very rude, just to avoid complicated sentence structure)

Rephrasing-

The senior brother who arrived before us met He Tieshou in a narrow way, and the rude actually made a sarcastic remark.

It is not easy to understand a sentence, how difficult it is to read a long sentence or a complex sentence, 101 rewrite the above paragraph.

Dong Xuan said: "Well, that's really lucky. When we first got Xun, the senior brother passed down an urgent order for the Xiandu disciples to gather in the capital. On the way to Beijing, we met Miss Jiao, needless to say. The senior brother who arrived before us met He Tieshou in a narrow way, and the rude actually made a sarcastic remark. The senior brother started to move with her, who knew that this cheap maid's hands and feet were slippery, and she didn't pay attention, the senior brother was hit by the iron hook in her left hand on the forehead, and she was hit by five hidden weapons in the lower plate. She only said that the senior brother would definitely not survive if he was fed with this highly poisonous secret weapon, so she sneered a few times and left. Fortunately, the senior brother with superb internal skills knew that his opponent was poisoned all over his body, and he had taken a lot of antidotes before the competition, and he brought all kinds of external antidote ointments with him, so he did not suffer. ā€

To rewrite this, the meaning group is too complicated, and it is impossible for people to read each short sentence carefully.

Like what:

The senior brother passed down an urgent order for the disciples of the immortal capital to gather in the capital. (This is two sentences that are grouped together)

Needless to say, when we met Miss Jiao. (The small sentence "We met Miss Jiao" is used together with the referent "that", as the subject, I feel top-heavy, and there is no comma in the middle, so I feel that the meaning group is complicated)

The elder brother's forehead was hit by the iron hook of her left hand. (On the forehead of the elder brother, the two words form a subject, and the meaning group is still not clean)

She only said that the senior brother had been fed with this poisonous secret weapon. (The elder brother was fed with this highly poisonous secret weapon, as the content of her only way, and the meaning is complicated)

Fortunately, the senior brother with superb internal skills knew that his opponent was poisonous. (Too many modifiers, complex meanings)

Finally, post another paragraph of non-dialogue content, everyone is interested in analyzing it yourself!

When I returned to the house, I waited anxiously, and in the evening, the people who went out to inquire reported that there were no clues. In the second watch, Yuan Chengzhi instructed Wu Ping and Luo Liru to send Shan Tiesheng's body to Yin Yamen in Shuntian Mansion. Jiao Wan'er led a few helpers to stay in the house to care for the wounded and guard against the enemy. Yuan Chengzhi was anxious, where could he sleep? Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he was thinking about continuing to find a way to stay young tomorrow. About a watch, silent, only heard one or two dogs barking in the deep alley in the distance, and the bamboo watch from far to near, and from near to far.
