Improving Writing Style: A Exemplary Writing Style for Literary Masterpieces

2025-01-08

The value of literary classics is not only reflected in the literary level. From the perspective of writing, those peerless literary classics are often examples of excellent literary style, which is the basic element for them to become classics. As far as the four well-known classics are concerned, some useful inspirations for improving writing style can be obtained from them. One is to appreciate both the refined and the popular. Whether it is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," "Water Margin," "Journey to the West," or "Dream of the Red Chamber," it can be studied in depth by professional scholars or enjoyed by general readers, benefiting readers from different cultural levels. Appreciating both elegance and vulgarity is a basic requirement for a good writing style. Writing is a sharing of knowledge and thinking, and the more people read it, the greater its impact. Some people use specialization as an excuse to make their articles obscure. In fact, even professional academic monographs can be appreciated by both the refined and the popular, such as Zhu Guangqian's "History of Western Aesthetics" and "On Beauty", which focus on theoretical aesthetics but are still written in a clear and concise manner. The second is appropriate simplicity and complexity. Dragging an article is certainly not good, and being too brief is also not good. It is not easy to strike a balance between complexity and conciseness, and to grasp the appropriate degree. The Four Great Classical Novels provide a model in this regard, such as the scenes of Lu Tixia punching Guanxi, Lin Daiyu entering Jia's mansion, and Liu Laolao eating pigeon eggs. Although the events are not big, the author spared no effort in writing and painting, achieving a level of poverty and completeness. The scenes are as vivid as before, which is complex. When it comes to Jian, he cherishes ink as precious as gold, like Daiyu burying flowers. The author did not provide a detailed description, but instead wrote briefly, ending at the point and using the reader's imagination to recreate this poetic and picturesque scene, leaving a deep impression. The same goes for writing articles. It's not necessary to fill everything up, leaving a moderate amount of blank space is more interesting. Thirdly, the language is vivid and lively. Literature is the art of language, and the authors of the Four Great Classical Novels are all masters of language. For example, "Dream of the Red Chamber", although it mostly depicts daily life, the authors use their skillful writing to fill the corners of the world with interest, and read it without feeling long or dull. The language of the characters is vivid and lively, and seeing their conversations, one can see the images of the characters in front of them. The other parts are the same. The canal is so clear that there is a source of living water. Excellent writing style is a reflection of the author's character and also a manifestation of their academic upbringing. Reading and appreciating literary classics such as the Four Great Classical Novels can not only bring aesthetic pleasure, but also learn writing methods and be influenced by good writing style. It can achieve multiple goals at once, why not enjoy it? (New Society)
