All the deep feelings in writing come from the accumulation and reflection of half a lifetime of mountains and rivers.
After traveling for decades, I watch my hometown with the eyes of a wanderer, and record the world with the sincerity of a writer. This is an original and systematic theory of local literary creation with 300,000 words. It is also the first complete book on literary thoughts and techniques that Langzi Wenqing has been working on for many years.
The book is based on the rural background of southeastern Hubei and real life experiences, and comprehensively dissects the creative logic, writing skills and polishing methods of the three major literary genres of poetry, prose and novels. It explains in detail its unique writing system: the regretful aesthetics that restrains blank spaces, the realistic narrative without villains, the genealogy of regionally specific images, and the simple white-line drawing technique that eliminates flashy.
There are no routine writing tutorials here, only real insights gained from years of working at the desk. From inspiration capture, material recovery, outline structure, detail research, to text deletion, emotional selection, rhythm control, and stylistic symbiosis, the entire process of the birth of a full-length work is completely reviewed.
He does not beautify the countryside or pretend to suffer, but always writes about the fate, regrets and perseverance of ordinary people in the era of urban-rural migration with an attitude of looking at the world. With the mountains and fields as the root, pen and ink as the crossing, the life experience of half a lifetime of wandering and half a lifetime of looking back has been condensed into literary chapters that can be traced, understood and used for reference.
The lights in Langshan never go out, and the original intention of writing is still fresh.
It is written to all writers and dream chasers who are rooted in reality, revere words, and write silently in the world of fireworks.
Purpose: This book is based on the local life experience of southeastern Hubei, and systematically sorts out the creative techniques of poetry, prose, and novels in the form of creative notes. Adhering to a writing stance that pays equal attention to the countryside, he abandons the two tendencies of beautifying the countryside and deliberately suffering, and explains his creative concepts such as the aesthetics of blank space and regret, the construction of regional images, and the restraint of line drawing. Reviewing the complete thoughts of the long text, recording the thinking and introspection of local writers, and providing a reference practical model for the creation of local literature.
