1. Introducing the writing styles of several writers
Zhang Ailing: Good at background characterization and environmental description. Using the metropolis invaded by modern civilization as the background, she revealed the desolation and pain of women in the boudoir. and sadness, deeply analyzing the painful harm caused to them by the invisible mental shackles on them.
The text is beautiful, like dense embroidery or meticulous painting. After reading the works, I often feel helpless, sad, and a little sentimental.
Bing Xin: The works mainly contain philosophical concepts, such as the gentle breeze blowing across the face. The expression technique of "the body is scattered but the spirit is not scattered" is used to the extreme. There are no particularly distinctive characters or major events. Compared with many realist works of the same period, she used an ideal state that depicts "truth, goodness, and beauty" to reflect the obscurity and limitations of reality. ***: A contemporary female writer who has experienced "transformation".
The early works were immersed in the freshness of "Baiyangdian" and the yearning for a progressive and civilized life; the later works re-rooted themselves in towns and rural areas, depicting the "wildness" and natural power of the characters, reflecting the thoughts of a group of people who had been spiritually enslaved. The strong demand for liberation, thus showing a focus on mental trauma and treatment. Bi Shumin: A scholarly writer with a plain writing style, paying attention to the rationality of the plot, focusing on narrative echoes, focusing on psychological description, depicting the complexity of characters in the conflict and struggle of personal thoughts and ethics, mixed with some academic viewpoints.
So the work is compact but less ***.
2. How to improve writing skills and skills in writing novels
What I said on the first floor is correct, that is, you need to read more books and read thousands of books before you can write with spirit. I suggest you read Yu Qiuyu's book. Although this writer has a lot of criticism, no one can deny his writing style. His cultural prose is very connotative. It will be very helpful for you to learn his writing techniques. I am already in my third year of college. As someone who has been there, I can tell you for sure that reading those so-called foreign masterpieces will not help your writing level! Translated works are like dehydrated vegetables. They are still nutritious but have no taste. They have no effect on the writing level of us Chinese people. As for classic masterpieces, it is not something that can be achieved overnight.
So I suggest you read Yu Qiuyu's books, especially his "Cultural Journey". The language in it is very good, and it contains a lot of cultural and historical knowledge, which is very helpful for learning. As long as you read and study the knowledge carefully, short-term improvement is not impossible.
There are also books by Sun Rui. This person is now the only young writer recognized by society as a good writer and good book writer. Although he is not as famous as Han Han and Guo Jingming, his book However, the sales volume is better than them all, the writing is humorous, and the wisdom is revealed through laughter. The "In the Grass" trilogy, "I Am Your Son, Will He Grow Up", is a top-notch read, especially for young people at the same time. It can easily arouse the excitement in your heart and is most suitable for cultivating young writers with writing skills. 3. How to improve writing skills when writing novels
Writing skills are a hard skill for creators, just like martial arts practitioners who have to squat on horseback every day. There is only one way to practice hard, and there is no shortcut. You think: If you get the secret of martial arts but don't practice it diligently, what's the difference between not getting it and not getting it? Hard skills require hard practice!
Regarding writing training, I have tried a method, and the learners responded well, saying that they can feel clearly after two weeks. For your reference:
1. Choose a book of ancient Chinese. , such as "Guwen Guanzhi", "Four Books", "Historical Records"... etc. Each article is not long and can be studied in about a week. This book will be your study textbook for the next six months, one year, or two years (the time depends on your study plan).
2. Choose one article to read every week. Remember: you cannot read the translation (you may choose to buy an untranslated ancient version)! Try to rely on your own strength to understand the article through annotations, dictionaries (if it involves literary and historical allusions, it is best to look up relevant information. These allusions may be the subject of future creations), etc. This can enhance the understanding of the meaning of words. After reading it, write an opinion about this article.
Don’t mind the word count, just try to express your thoughts in precise words. After you finish writing, you need to revise it again and again until there are no words left to change. This trains your word usage. Writing and rhetoric do not require gorgeous words, but "accuracy" in word choice, so that the words can "faithfully" present your ideas and convey them to readers.
Although all kinds of talents need to be cultivated from an early age, "diligence can make up for clumsiness", even the stupid Guo Jing can master the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. As long as you are willing to work hard, from the moment you see this answer, immediately draw up a study plan and strictly implement it. There will be some success in a few months!
ps. Different types of novels require different styles of writing, which involve the concepts of reader understanding, reader preference, work tonality, work positioning, contemporary nature, and conventions. What type of work needs to be presented and how it needs to be presented is another subject and is beyond the scope of this question. Skipping the question of the type of work, once you know what style of writing the work needs to be presented in, and you already have the foundation and are proficient in the basic movements of swordsmanship, then the myriad of changes can be made with one mind; the changes in various writing styles are only at the palm of your hand.
Novel writing is a long road, the road is broad, but you have to walk it steadily. Readers will not know how much effort and sweat was spent along the way. But when you look back along the way, you will see your profound footprints! ***Mianzhi! 4. Recommend a few authors with excellent writing styles
1. "Zhu Xian" Author: Xiao Ding I won't introduce the content. There are probably not many people who are in the Liangquan original area who don't know this book.
The author's description of the male protagonist's love is very good. The plot development now is confusing.
Baguio has been dead for a while and has not come back to life, and new enemies have appeared. The author dug the hole deeper and deeper.
How does Xiaofan choose his love? Personally, I still prefer Baguio 2. "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" Author: Ben Wu Tian Xia Ba Sing The experience of a tomb robber.

This book is very excellent, with a complete system of cultivation. The author has a deep knowledge of language, and the characterization is very good. A few sentences can express a character's unique personality. The fourth volume of Haikuo Elegy describes the scene where Dan Zhen sacrifices himself to rescue A Niu from the Seven Great Sword Sects of the Righteous Path. Dan Zhen's deep feelings for his disciples and his insistence on his own right path without regrets are the most interesting things I read in this book. The most touching place.
This kind of master-disciple relationship is not found in other novels. In some places this book surpasses Piaomiao and Zhuxian.
4. "The Misty Journey" Author: Xiao Qian This is a very famous book. It is no exaggeration to say that it created an era of cultivation novels.
This book establishes the basic system of cultivation novels, which is the most successful aspect of this book.
Piaomiao is like a cultivated version of Diablo. The protagonist encounters a powerful enemy and cannot escape, encounters various adventures and obtains a powerful magic weapon.
Defeated the enemy. Continue to encounter stronger enemies and continue the cycle.

8. "The Record of Dust Tribulation" Author: Red Army A Chinese mythological story with a very Chinese flavor. The author sets up a very large world view.
The first part has been completed, and the second part is being serialized, but it is very slow. I don’t know if this Red Army is the Red Army of the New Alliance.
Judging from the style of writing, it is very likely. If they were the same person, it would be too fierce. 9. "The Fantasy Dream Trilogy" Author: Tianyin Silu The three-step works all tell the same theme, which is to transcend reincarnation and reverse the way of heaven.

5. Looking for an author whose writing style is similar to Gu Man's
"I'll Steal a Cup from You" is written by Feng Lin'er. Her writing style is humorous and delicate, and she can compete with Gu Man~~
"Guide to Growing a Young Master" and "Traveling through Peace and Peace" are written by Li Jinyin, an author I like very much. If you have read her articles, I guarantee you will fall in love~~
"KAO, was infiltrated!" 》Full collection (Holy crap! I was lurked!) Author: King Kong Barbie, the scheming male protagonist and the innocent female protagonist, a bit like Gu Man's "Shan Shan Comes to Eat"
"My College Life" The original name on the Internet is "Beast Teacher". Author: Stein. This article is very hilarious and the plot is a bit abrupt, but it does not affect your ability to hold your stomach and laugh non-stop no matter how many times you read it~~
琐吤瀬萱Please read these articles first~~These are the ones I personally selected and found to be the best after reading them~~I also like Manman, I hope you like these articles~~ 6. A classic novel, at least it is comfortable to read and the writing is smooth
2 emails have been sent. Please take a look. The following are the selections
If you have any other genre preferences, please "ask" me. If you have other packages, don't use "question supplement" I can't see it
The writing is good, the ideas are beautiful, the characters are wonderful, and there is less nonsense! It's a must! ! ----They are all the kind that I have watched several times and am still not tired of them. I can’t recommend them even if I only read them once (I really don’t think there are any fantasy online games that are good enough to be recommended)
I have tried my best to recommend various genres in no particular order:
"The First Chaos in History" - Author: Zhang Xiaohua is a hodgepodge of historical figures that travels backwards through history. It is a very, very, very hilarious and interesting work that may seem like a novice. In fact, the author is quite knowledgeable. It shouldn’t be ranked first, but it made me lie in bed and read the article that made the bed tremble.
"Pilgrimage (The Overlord of Western Chu vs. Aliens)" - Author: Don't be fooled by the name Feitian Yexiang. He is a very serious and bold author of apocalyptic science fiction. Males are better at historical physics. I had to finish it all night long
"7 Truth" series - Author: Yuexia Sang Supernatural Suspense The suspense of the first part of a relatively mature novel is particularly unexpected
"Record of the process of correcting another mistake that resulted in uneven quality of space and time" - Author: Hydrozoa Less The article about traveling to Troy has interesting lines and a bit of European style dialogue and sharp dialogue
"The Beauty Tribulation" - Author: Ge Zhiqin The heroine is the daughter-in-law of Zhao Ji and the man is a noble of the Kingdom of Jin who fights against the Jin rebels. .
The description of the hatred of the country and the family, the displacement of emotions, is relatively subtle and serious. The helplessness of small love in the big era is a tragedy
"The Charmer Has No Boundaries"--Author: Half-conscious and half-asleep *** The story of an ancient killer, a series of events, so Although it is not available yet (Part 2), you can still watch it
"Wild Fire" author: Zhang Dingding travels through YY but is quite capable. The evolutionary history of a bandit leader who is a novice and disguises himself as a man. Men have never The man who surpasses her is quite cute
Author of "Three Rescues of Marriage": The miserable male protagonist is saved by the female protagonist through laughter, but the relationship is stable after going through hardships
Author of "The More the Better": Mr. Xishan travels through time and doesn't want to follow the crowd. He only wants to be independent and never call the storm. It's just embarrassing on the way
In addition, if you want me to recommend excellent BL, I can recommend many, many:
"The world of mortals is lucky enough to know paintings" - Author: A Du. The calligraphy and painting industry is very rigorous. Professional apprentices and entry into the industry. The writing is very good. It feels a bit like Li Bihua's "Farewell My Concubine"
" "Rootless Strategy" - Author: Dian Qianhuan, co-written by two people, one is responsible for strategy and the other is responsible for eroticism. There are many highlights
"Song of Pegasus" - Author: Carmen alludes to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the bloody horses of the Huns in the surrounding areas. The stories that have arisen include his "The Oil Seller and the Madam", which is based on the story of the oil seller and the courtesan, which has a relatively realistic plot arrangement and is quite rare, and "Love in Love" about Li Yannian
"The Landing of the King" "Shi Fang" and "Killing Rats" - Author: Shi Fang's very, very distinctive photographic style. The first chapter of "The King of Shi Fang" is about an obstetrician and gynecologist who traveled back to the Iron Age to treat "boys and girls". "Killing Rats" is a short fan story about Seven Heroes and Five Righteousnesses. The author has also written some fan stories about Journey to the West, which are very interesting
"The Glass Forbidden City" - Author: Hong He is a very interesting modern cat-and-mouse artist. The bold and arrogant mischievous mouse and the cat who is always tormented by him. But the cat is always the natural enemy of the mouse (in my opinion, this is a good text that is closest to the original work in character control but breaks out of the ancient circle without having to fill in the omissions in the original text!)
"Greek Myth of Convulsion"--Author: Grace Lin's time travel respects the original characters and has a European style
"The Attack of Rebirth"--Author: Rebirth of Hidden Demon and Interpol Rebirth It’s not YY when you see a gang boss who is in trouble with his bad debts. It’s a heart-warming story that carefully solves a mystery. 7. What writing methods are generally used in novels
(1) "Cross-cutting suspense, flashback events" method This refers to the author’s attempt to avoid straightforward narration. , in the first paragraph of the novel, a suspense is set up that raises the whole story and covers the whole text, deliberately creating doubts for the readers in order to arouse the readers' interest and continue reading.
For example, the article "A Pair of Bright Eyes" published by "Hubei Daily" on July 5, 1964 adopted this method. The beginning of this article is: The night is so dark that I can’t see my fingers.
I (the protagonist in the article) went to a production brigade. Since it was my first time to go there, it was so rough, and the sky was cloudy, there was no moon, no stars, and I didn’t bring a flashlight, so I was really anxious.
At this moment, I met a commune member who happened to live in the brigade where I was going, and he led me there. Along the way, he said for a while: "Comrade, pay attention, there is a ditch ahead!" After a while, he pointed to me: "Comrade, pay attention to the pond on the left!" Finally, after entering the village, he pointed to an alley and said: "Inside Our captain lives here and he will greet you.”
But early the next morning, I came out of the captain’s room and saw a strong middle-aged man carrying a bucket and humming a light tune. , walking towards the weir pond next to the rice farm. When he came closer, I took a look and thought, Hey, what a good man, why is he blind? Just as I was thinking about it, I saw that he didn't care about carrying water from the underground pond.
I was shocked and shouted: "...it's a pond, don't fall into the water.
He turned around and blinked, as if he saw me: "Aren't you the comrade I led you to last night?" "...Seeing this, readers must not be able to help but ask themselves: Is he blind? Why can he lead people away at night so neatly? Why is his "eyes" brighter than those of people with eyes? This is called "cutting into suspense" ”, what follows is waiting for the author’s “flashback story” - readers will have to read on.
(2) “Unexpected, reasonable” is a saying of the French art master Chaplin Quote: “I always strive to create the unexpected in new ways. If I believed that the audience expected me to be walking down the street, I would jump into a carriage and go. ”
(Quoted from the book "Chaplin - The Great Tramp"), this tells us that the creative structure must be clever, first of all, it must be "unexpected", which is the first step. But more The important thing is that the plot described must be reasonable.
The so-called "reasonable" refers to this kind of "unexpectedness", which is consistent with the development of the characters in the novel, in line with objective laws, and consistent with life. Logic. It is not absurd or made-up.
It is both twists and turns, and it is also natural. This is done very cleverly in "The Gift of the Magi" by American writer O. Henry. p>
The novel tells the story of a loving couple preparing to give each other gifts on Christmas Day in the United States, and each wants to buy something unexpected. The wife sees that her husband has an ancestral gold watch, but without a watch chain. So he cut off his most cherished blond hair and sold it, and used the money from selling the blond hair to buy a watch chain.
What about the husband? He saw that his wife had beautiful blond hair, but she lacked a suitable set. Luxury comb, so he sold his ancestral watch, which he always kept with him, and which he cherished very much, and used the money from selling the watch to buy a set of beautiful and luxurious combs. As a result, when the two met, the husband took the new one given by his wife. The watch chain is gone; the wife is holding a new set of combs given by her husband, and her long blond hair is gone!
Here, although there is a relationship between the protagonist and the reader. "Unexpected", but it is all within reason, because their love as a couple exceeds their feelings for "blonde hair" and "watch chain".
In the capitalist world where "money comes first", the love of the lower class is more important. For a small character, it can only have such a spicy ending. (3) The creative method of "downplaying the plot, dispersing the form and gathering the spirit", on the surface, has no unexpected plot, no fierce conflicts, and the narrative is straightforward. It is a light atmosphere.
However, in this straightforward narrative, there is an emotion that surges into the soul; in this light desolation, there is an indescribable charm of life, which is often more "ruthless". When there is love, silence is better than sound. For example, "Gleaning Wheat" written by Zhang Jie is about a little girl in the countryside. Her family is very poor. When harvesting wheat every summer, she always carries a basket to the threshed wheat field. Gleaning wheat ears.
At this time, an old man selling maltose came. Other children exchanged the wheat ears for the old man to eat, but the little girl was reluctant to give up. He would often give her candy for free. Others would laugh at her and say that she would just marry this old man.
She didn't understand much about it, and the old man didn't think it was a big deal. Everyone was just joking. She never mentioned it again. But she, this little girl, was waiting at the end of the village when the old man didn't come to sell candy again... What was she waiting for? Was it just to eat the old man's candy? No, there is an indescribable smell in it, a kind of faint sadness, an emotion that can be communicated between people... This is called "Xingsan Shenju", which is a "structureless" structure, using a A "complex" style woven by the inner spirit.
(4) "Kill two birds with one stone, two sides with one stone" method When writing novels, the author, like a director directing a play, often lets the characters on the stage hold props of one kind or another. A good director will use this "prop" to make not just one character, but many characters have a relationship with this "prop"; not just one party, but both sides of the conflict will deal with this "prop".
In this way, the character's spiritual world can be excavated from this "prop", the essence of life can be revealed, and the author's aesthetic thoughts on this discovery can be completed. This is the case in the short story "Twenty Shillings" by contemporary British writer Stan Barstow.
We see that the "20 shilling silver coin" itself is a prop of the author. The author took advantage of this prop and first asked the rich Mrs. Marston in the article to deliberately put it into a suit of clothes, and then asked her servant Mrs. Fursdike to send the suit to the laundry, but asked One sentence, before sending it to be washed, you have to dig through the pockets of your clothes.
Forsdyk is a poor man, his husband is paralyzed, and he is in urgent need of money. How much joy this silver coin should bring to her: she can buy fruit, cigarettes, and a bottle of wine for her poor husband; she can also buy some necessary clothes... And Mrs. Marston hopes that Firth Dyke secretly concealed the silver coin and spent the twenty shillings, and then she asked Versdyke to hand over the money.
If Versdyk cannot hand over, her purpose will be achieved, proving that the poor are despicable and inferior, and she.
