Definition of Personalized Writing

First of all, it should be pointed out that there are theoretical deficiencies in many of the current analyses and definitions of the phenomenon of privatized writing, and the most important is the confusion of theoretical standards. For example, some people call private writing a new state of literature (the new state itself also lacks a clear theoretical definition, the so-called description of a new state of the present), and some people say that the characteristics of private writing are a natural extension of the life of the family, and the characters, the narrator and the family themselves become one in a state of freedom. The key issue here is that the definition of privatization must be contrasted with publicization.

Private refers not only to the way of experiencing or writing, but also to the type of experience or the content of writing. The core of privatization lies in its strict opposition and distinction from the public and the collective, not from anything else (just as the opposition and distinction between the private and public spheres). In this way, we can distinguish private writing from specious things such as the so-called new state or the writer's current emotional state, as well as from concepts such as artistic style, artistic personality, etc.

The writer's current emotional state is not necessarily a personal emotional state; In the same way, the new state is not necessarily a personal state of emotion or experience. It is entirely possible that they are all public, collective, and social at the same time. For example, if the new state refers to a fairly general (and therefore very public) socio-cultural state in Chinese mainland in the 90s, such as marketization, secularization, globalization, etc., as some commentators have suggested, then the state of expression and identification is precisely the loss of private rather than the acquisition of privateness.

Similarly, if some of the writers' works that are considered private (how to do it) express a radical identification with the current business discourse, then this identification also reflects the loss of privatization (because the current business discourse is undoubtedly a fairly generalized and public strong discourse).

One is to read more. It's easy to understand. If you read more books, you will have goods in your stomach, and only when you have goods can you have the capital to write, and you can take them out whenever you want to.

Mr. Ji Xianlin said that if there is more water, there will be urine, and he said it very vividly. There is also a special emphasis on reading, to read more classics, read more famous works. For some classical essences, it is best to memorize them.

I don't know how many people in our group can memorize the "three hundred thousand". Don't underestimate these enlightenment books, if you can memorize them backwards, it will be very beneficial to your writing and even self-cultivation. Of course, this is a requirement for young people, and older friends are no longer suitable for rote memorization.

The second is to walk more. The ancients said that reading 10,000 books and walking 10,000 miles is true and even reasonable for people who are determined to write. Throughout the ages, almost all accomplished writers have also been travelers.

Li Bai, who has hardly returned to his hometown since leaving his hometown when he was young, has been looking for and traveling. Mr. Yu Qiuyu used to be a scholar and the dean of Shanghai Foreign Language University. Later, he resigned from his official position and resigned to travel all over the country and even around the world.

This is why there are famous works such as "Cultural Journey", "The Long River of Frost and Cold", "A Sigh for a Thousand Years", "Notes on Mountain Dwellings", and "Looking for China". I wouldn't have been able to write my own prose travelogues if I hadn't been there. Of course, "walking more" should also be done according to one's own situation, and not all people who like to write have to resign and resign.

The third is to think more. Confucius said that if you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die. This is to show us that only by combining learning and thinking can we learn something that is truly useful.

Some friends read a lot, but they always feel that the harvest is not very big. Why? It's just that when you read, you swallow dates, you don't think enough.

Let's take a small example. When I read Mr. Yu Qiuyu's "Asking Divination China", I began to not understand this topic, why does China still ask Divination? After I read it several times, my eyes suddenly opened up, and I have to admire the author's cleverness!

The article is written about Yinxu, and the most important discovery in Yinxu is the oracle bone inscription. The oracle bone inscription was originally asked by the ancients. Using "Asking Divination China" as the title to indicate the fate of the Chinese nation in those stormy years, it is really an outline, in one sentence!

In this way, my reading has unconsciously taken up a new level.
