"Article Writing" is a composition course written by Xia Chuzun and Liu Xunyu for middle school students. In this book, two educators explain the basic concepts, precautions and specific writing techniques of narratives, expository essays, argumentative essays, essays and other genres in chapters, covering the content of today's primary and secondary school composition classes. Using Chinese and foreign classics such as "A Dream of Red Mansions", "Water Margin", "Resurrection" and "Education of Love" as composition materials, one book can simultaneously improve reading and writing skills.
The prototype of this book is Mr. Xia Jizun's composition class lecture notes when he was in Changsha First Normal University and Baima Lake Chunhui Middle School. It was later revised and improved by Mr. Liu Xunyu in teaching practice, and was first published by Kaiming Bookstore in 1926. This composition course written by two educational pioneers nearly a hundred years ago still has great guiding significance for today's primary and secondary school students. This edition is based on the revised edition of Shanghai Kaiming Bookstore in November 1930 and revised according to the "Modern Chinese Dictionary". To help readers understand, the editor has also added corresponding notes.
Reader comments
This is a real, practical and meaningful tool book. When I was learning how to write, I read best-selling books that taught people how to write. Now, in my opinion, the word "best-selling book" has gradually become derogatory. Most of the so-called best-selling books are boring to read. You can't refute that the content is unreasonable, but after reading it, you will finish reading it. What does it say? I don't know, I know every word, but what kind of superficial book have I read...
This book gives me the feeling that everyone has taught me everything, but I am afraid that I will not be able to learn it or understand it. Thank you to Teacher Xia Chuzun.
The teacher worked hard and hard. Although it is now 2025, the Year of the Snake, you can still feel the author's tireless pursuit of accurate expression of text. A few points to gain: you need to have a sense of language; writing well requires effort, and one word can twist and turn several stems, whether it is the wording or sentence making in the title or content; learn to observe life from different angles, and grasp the space like a painting; the main body of the article must be consistent and consistent; 6W theory, six elements of narrative; practice essays starting with essays, etc. In short, I feel that the threshold for writing is very low, but it takes a lot of hard work to write expressive works.
A must-read for the study of mind.
I spent some time reading this book, and it didn't leave a deep impression. However, it taught me how to use words to express my inner thoughts. The most important thing to write a good article is to have a certain observation ability about the environment. When composing, it is best to focus on one place to write.
This book is really useful! It explains the writing skills of different genres such as narratives, expository essays, argumentative essays, etc., And combines the materials of famous books to simultaneously improve reading and writing skills. I particularly like the character settings in it. It is very interesting and the content is easy to understand. It feels like chatting with friends. It is also very helpful for college students like me who have just graduated and are still looking for a job!
Good looking. Support. Come on.
Maybe the writing time was a little longer than modern times, and there are many very useful things, and at the same time, I can clearly feel the characteristics of the times at that time. It depends on what you like.
Sir, my teachings are like a trickle. I am very grateful.
