Yilin Forum.

Because of the holding of the "Chinese Prose Contest", coupled with the publicity and promotion of platforms such as Douyin.

In the past few days, the number of active IPs on the forum has exceeded one million per day.

Especially today, because a group of collaborators have published their own entries, it has attracted waves of netizens to come to worship.

Now.

At the forum, netizens were still enthusiastic.

Some netizens have a deep literary foundation, so they play the role of commentators, commenting on the prose of some well-known writers, so that other netizens can better understand the article.

"Knowing the clouds and knowing the rain" is such a person.

He is commenting on the essay "Aomei" by the well-known writer "Tang Zhili": "Facing the heavy snow, blooming wantonly in the cold winter...... To be honest, I've read a lot of Yongmei's prose. But each one is not as beautiful and profound as Mr. Tang's words. A small plum blossom becomes lifelike under his pen, making us seem to see the pride of the plum blossom and smell its fragrance in the ice and snow. This kind of prose is indeed a kind of cleansing of the soul when it reads. ”

On the floor, there was a lot of praise.

"After reading your comments and then reading the article, it's really a new feeling."

"That's a great review."

"Dude, you're a Chinese teacher, right?"

“……”

Then someone asked, "Brother, why do you only comment on the essays of the collaborators, and not on the articles of the Internet writers?" ”

In a rental house somewhere.

A young man in his thirties was sitting in front of a computer, looking at a netizen's question.

Judging from the name of the account logged in on the computer, this young man is "Zhiyun Zhiyu." ”

When I met someone asking why they didn't comment on online writers.

Zhiyun Zhiyu's eyes showed a faint mockery, and he said to himself: "Internet writer? Don't you look at the level of these online writers? Except for a few writers who came out of a certain point, their literary skills are not bad. The other 99% of online writers don't even have a good grasp of the structure of the prose, and even a lot of sentences don't make sense. How can I comment on this kind of article? Commenting on them is a complete waste of youth. ”

Originally, when the "Huaxia Essay Contest" had just begun, he still had great expectations for online writers.

Think that the Internet is so hot, there will always be one or two great writers, right?

However.

The reality was that he was extremely disappointed.

The level of these online writers is so low that it is almost beyond his imagination!

In his opinion, the writing skills of many so-called online writers are not as strong as those of primary school students. I really don't know what kind of confidence the other party has to call himself an online writer.

Just when he wanted to reply to netizens, saying that he would not comment on online writers.

Suddenly, a couple of posts popped up.

"Damn, the work has been uploaded in the west building."

"He's the number one talent in Douyin."

"Go and see what prose he wrote."

“……”

Seeing these posts, Zhiyun Zhiyu sighed.

West Building?

How could he, who often mixes the Internet, not know this name?

At the beginning, the two long and short "Persuasion Poems" written by the West Building are now the mottos of many parents. As for the two poems "Seeing Each Other", they are regarded as classics by many poetry lovers.

However, can such a poet write good prose?

Be skeptical.

Zhiyun Zhiyu also clicked on the works of the West Building with netizens.

"In Praise of the Poplar? 》？ ”

When he saw the title of the essay, he subconsciously imagined the appearance of a poplar tree in his mind.

As a veteran who often reviews prose, Zhiyun Zhiyu does not mean to look down on poplar trees, and he knows that the favorite thing for some writers to do is to suppress first and then promote.

So, while the title and beginning look cliché.

But Zhiyun Zhiyu still watched patiently.

Seeing the second paragraph, admiring a large section of seckill about the northwest scenery, he finally showed a happy look and nodded secretly: "Although the plants selected are a little cliché and the overall text is a little bland, the literary skills are really good, far surpassing other Internet writers who are famous." ”

Many people think that prose must be beautifully written.

But in fact, the real top-notch prose can show delicate emotions and philosophies through unpretentious words. It's not just a pile of rhetoric.

Right now.

This "Poplar Praise" gives Zhiyun Zhiyu a simple and unpretentious, but extremely extraordinary feeling.

Read on.

The appreciation in Zhiyun Zhiyu's eyes gradually turned into surprise.

It occurred to him that the West House would use a method to praise the poplar tree.

The following text is indeed symbolic, through the artistic image of the poplar tree, to praise the industrious people and the great heroes who defended the country.

But what he didn't expect, even if it was to sing the praises of the poplar tree, the words in the West Building were still simple to the extreme.

Beautiful words? No!

High compliments? No!

Exaggerated description? No!

There is only a description of the poplar tree, but it is this kind of second kill that makes Zhiyun Zhiyu feel a sense of majesty, uprightness, and indomitability.

"This way ...... written"

"This simple portrayal ......"

"This symbolism ......"

Zhiyun Zhiyu's heart is more and more touched.

"Let those who look down on the people, despise the people, and stubbornly regress praise the aristocratic nanmu (which is also straight and beautiful), and despise this very common and easy to grow aspen, but I will praise the poplar tree with a loud voice!"

When finished reading the last sentence of the prose.

His heart was already pounding.

"This essay!"

Zhiyun Zhiyu subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

He was wrong.

Couldn't be more wrong.

Who says web writers can't write prose?

Who says a person who is proficient in poetry is not proficient in prose?

That's just your imagination.

It turns out that there are really geniuses who understand everything.

I watched "In Praise of Poplar" seriously.

When he watched it for the second time, he found that his heart was touched more than the first time.

The excitement, the unyielding, and the ambitious emotions revealed in the plain words almost filled his heart.

Before that.

Zhiyun Zhiyu has always felt that prose must be beautiful in order to reflect its level.

But it wasn't until this moment that he knew that the original unpretentious words could also touch his heart so much.

Swallowed.

Zhiyun Zhiyu's gaze refocused on the works of the collaborators he had just commented.

"Proud Plum", "Rose in the Square", "Fine-leaved Hanlan" ......

Half an hour ago, he still felt beautiful prose.

At this moment, I think back on it, but I don't know why it's a little more greasy.

The accumulation of rhetoric and the seemingly beautiful but bloated descriptions all made him feel like a fish in his throat.

A moment later.

Zhiyun Zhiyu gritted his teeth and deleted all the comments he had carefully written before.

Take a deep breath.

He wrote a short comment underneath "In Praise of the Poplars": "After reading this essay, I became at a loss for a moment, and I didn't even know how to comment on it. All I know is this: after reading "In Praise of the Poplars," I deleted all other essays because my comments suddenly became so glaring. ”

After writing.

Click and send.

Just sent successfully, Zhiyun Zhiyu's eyes widened suddenly.

Because it's only been for a while, the number of votes for "In Praise of the Poplar" has actually broken 1,000 votes.

The floors that netizens are talking about have reached more than 200 floors.

It's only been a long time!

Zhiyun Zhiyu felt his throat dry, but he soon remembered that he didn't seem to vote yet.

Because in order to restrict votes, the Yilin Forum restricts each account and each IP from voting only one vote.

That's why he didn't vote, and he was going to wait for everyone to upload their works before he voted for his favorite work.

But now, it seems that there is no need to think about it.

Zhiyun Zhiyu did not hesitate to vote for "Poplar Praise".

After voting, the page will be automatically refreshed.

And then...... Zhiyun Zhiyu was stunned again, and in less than a minute, he found that the votes for "In Praise of Poplar" had reached more than 1,200 votes.

In less than a minute, more than 200 votes were raised!

It seems that not only him, but many people have resonated with "In Praise of the Poplar".

Zhiyun Zhiyu glanced at the floor comments.

Sure enough, netizens had a heated discussion.

"After watching "In Praise of the Poplar", I realized that ordinary poplar trees can have such heights."

"Wow, it's my favorite West Building, and I write prose that is completely different from other writers."

"I can't imagine that a piece of prose can make my blood boil."

"I've read more than a hundred essays in the past few days, but after reading the others, I have almost nothing to gain. It was only after reading "In Praise of the Poplars" that I already had a tall, tough poplar tree in my mind, lingering. ”

"To tell the truth, with so many essays, I understood the "Poplar Praise" in the West Building. Because the text is simple, I can understand it. The prose of those well-known writers you are talking about, on the contrary, I can see it in a fog. ”

"Hahaha, I feel that way too. Looking at the works of those writers, I feel like I'm on top. It was only by reading the prose in the West Building that I felt a sense of intimacy. ”

"Reading other prose is appreciation, but watching "In Praise of Poplar" is passionate and moving."

“……”

After all, the average knowledge level of netizens is limited, so I can't say how good the works of the West Building are.

But their feelings are the most intuitive.

That's why they say that "In Praise of the Poplars" looks the most comfortable, empathetic, touching, easy to understand, and closest to the general public......

From these words, we can see many clues.

Soon.

The upsurge of discussion among netizens began to spread throughout the Yilin forum.

Douyin's first talent, the West Building has uploaded prose!

The prose is titled "In Praise of the Poplars".

It's unpretentious!

It's unpretentious!

It's ordinary!

But it reveals greatness in the ordinary, and confirms the brilliance in the simplicity.

Originally, the West Building was quite famous on the Internet, but when I heard these rumors, more and more netizens flocked to see what level of the West Building's prose "Poplar Praise" everyone said.

And then.

No surprises.

Many were conquered by the "Poplar Salute".

As a result, the number of people voting for "Poplar Salute" began to skyrocket.

Zhiyun Zhiyu has always been on the forum, refreshing the data almost every few minutes.

For him, seeing a piece of his favorite prose being topped by the majority of netizens made him feel inexplicably excited.

But.

After brushing for a while.

Zhiyun Zhiyu suddenly frowned: "No! Does this seem to be wrong? ”

Why are more and more netizens voting, but the increase in the number of votes for "Poplar Praise" is getting slower and slower?

What the hell?
