Chapter 0208 is dizzy

If you don't like it, why write it?

This is exactly what is on the minds of all of you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In their eyes, writing is a very noble profession. And all along, the world seems to agree with it this way. They believe that it is a very honorable thing for an author's work to be recognized by a publishing house. And it is a great honor to be able to use writing to provide for one's own life.

But now, the author named Mengxiao is saying this. This obviously made them a little uncomfortable. And they themselves don't think there's anything wrong with the way Meng Xiao writes "to himself".

What's wrong with using words to express one's mind and gain the approval of others, and furthermore, to preach the right path, and even to educate the world?

If that's all the case, why write something you don't like!

For this question, Lin Feng did not rush to answer. Instead, he smiled and asked rhetorically: "Between ideals and steamed buns, what will you choose?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"How can you discuss writing in a good way, if you say ideal, then it's a little bit of a side, but why did you run to the steamed buns again?"

Many people are confused, and some are silent.

"I think a lot of people here have figured it out, but they don't want to say it. Or subconsciously don't want to think about it. Is it right to think that it is a shameful thing to abandon one's own thoughts and simply exchange words for money? But have we ever wondered how many writers in modern history are dying or living in poor homes, with unwarm clothes and hungry food? ”

Silent.

No one answered.

Lin Feng continued: "This is also a shame for literati, right? When a person can't even solve the problem of food and clothing, what can he talk about ideals? Ideally, it's too cheap, too cheap, so cheap that everybody can have it. To put it mildly, even the beggars on the street have ideals. But ideals are too expensive, so many people can only think about it, and never get what they want. In the end, the ideal can only be in vain. But as people who deal with words, why can't we think about having both ideals and steamed buns? ”

Being "embarrassed" by a series of questions, some people began to feel that they couldn't stand it, and even felt that such a high school student opening his mouth to talk about such a question was not quite in line with his identity, and it sounded like he wanted to show off. And carefully guessing the meaning of his words, as if he was satirizing the authors present are some pretentious "poor scholars".

One asked, "That's true, but what does it have to do with the way you write?" ”

"This is the second way of writing that I would like to say, to treat words as our labor, and the wealth we exchange for our labor, does it make people feel that this is a loss of integrity? Not count. But the truth is that traditional writing cannot be exchanged for wealth at all, otherwise there would be no such thing as a 'poor scholar'. I know that when I say this, it will most likely hit all of you, but I have absolutely no ill intent, because I am one of them. Is literature too cheap? Or did those traditional writers of the previous generation have no literary skills, and the truth they say has not been recognized by others? ”

"How is it possible, what I admire most is the older generation of writers, who have sentiments and cultivation."

"Our culture is inherited from them, and the writings of the older generation of writers have influenced a generation, so how can we not have literary skills."

"The truth of the older generation can definitely be recognized."

……

A lot of people answered.

But why do they have to worry about life? I'll answer this question myself, because they care too much about their own integrity. They don't bother to write literature that they see as 'vulgar'. But have you ever wondered what we write articles for? Is it writing for yourself, or is it for the public? If it is written for yourself, then you only need to write it and put it at home, why publish it to show how noble you are? If it is written for the public, then if you write it and the public doesn't like it, does that mean that you have failed? ”

"So I think that since I'm writing an article and I'm going to publish it, it's about writing it for others to see. Since it is written for others, it must cater to the taste of the public. The public writes whatever kind of articles they like to read. What is Volkswagen? In the eyes of writers, of course, they are laity. The vulgarity here can be understood as vulgarity, and it is by no means vulgar in the eyes of literati.

"Then again, if you write an article in popular words, as plain as speaking, will you lose your identity? Does it seem that the person who writes is uneducated? ”

It's another paragraph, which is completely incompatible, and everyone is dizzy, and no one answers a few questions. I can't answer, I feel like it's not in the same time and space as this thing's brain......

No one spoke, and Lin Feng continued: "Of course not! On the contrary, being able to describe a good truth in easy-to-understand language is a demonstration of an author's skills. If the purpose of writing an article is to educate the world, then if the article is written elegantly, but ordinary people can't understand it at all, and can't understand the meaning, then isn't the purpose of this education not achieved? Since it has not been reached, what is the use of writing? If it is useless to write, it is equivalent to not completing the ideal, and at the same time discarding the steamed buns. Why bother......"

Lin Feng stood and talked endlessly, and the other people nodded from time to time, thinking that he was very reasonable. But when I thought about it, none of these truths seemed to match, and I shook my head one after another. Even Su Guangsheng, an insider who has been an editor for more than ten years, doesn't know what Lin Feng's focus is. A hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, there is no way to understand it!

Finally, Su Guangsheng couldn't help but interrupt Lin Feng's speech and asked, "After talking for so long, you have been stating your own opinions, but what kind of attitude do you want to express while stating these views?" Or what conclusion do you want to make? ”

Seeing that even Su Guangsheng asked this, Lin Feng was secretly happy in his heart, and it seemed that he had finally succeeded in making these people dizzy.

It's time to speak your mind!
