【 Improving Writing Style: Everyone Talks 】 Although seemingly ordinary and extraordinary, it is easy but difficult to achieve

2025-06-27   

The articles of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song dynasties have been passed down through the ages, and the Song Dynasty is particularly famous for its emphasis on literature, with many experiences and discussions. Wang Anshi's poem "Inscription on Zhang Siye's Poetry" states: "Suzhou Siye's poetry has an old reputation, and the Yuefu is full of exquisite and divine words. It may seem ordinary and extraordinary, but it is easy but difficult to achieve." The poems praising Zhang Ji are clear and simple on the surface, but have profound connotations, highlighting the dialectical relationship between the surface ordinary and the internal extraordinary in poetry and prose writing. Success may seem easy but requires hard work, which is inspiring for today. Zhang Ji was a poet of the mid Tang Dynasty, known as Han Zhang along with Han Yu. He was skilled in Yuefu poetry and was known for his simple and straightforward style of poetry. His famous poem "Paying Homage to Zhu Qingyu" depicts the beauty of the Yue women picking lotus flowers, while "Ode to Jiefu" suggests that Jiefu should understand her own intentions, but both have implicit meanings. The former praises Zhu Qingyu's fresh and bright poetry, while the latter contains the intention of politely rejecting the temptation of the feudal lords, which is easy to understand and thought-provoking. This is because Zhang Ji has a personal experience and profound feelings about the matter he is discussing, so the metaphor is appropriate and admirable. It can be seen that good works must have a rich accumulation, derived from the feelings of life or the accumulation of literature. Another example is Wen Yiduo, whose "Miscellaneous Discussions on Tang Poetry" consists of several essays that are narrated in a beautiful and captivating manner, completely different from some current papers that are dull and like chewing wax. Some people think that his essay "Du Fu" was purely based on the poet's talent and imagination, but little do they know that behind it lies years of hard work on Du Fu's poetry and his life and social literature. An article should be appreciated and loved by readers, as it is influenced by various factors. Styles can be diverse, but they must all have substance and evidence to support them. Both narration and discussion should be targeted, heartfelt, and have genuine emotions. The so-called 'root affection Miao Yan Hua Sheng'. On the contrary, some articles are empty, complaining without any reason, or have confusing logic and lack clarity. The reason for this situation is mostly due to the author's lack of thinking and insights on the issues being discussed. They can only talk nonsense, deal with things, and even pile up language and show off their knowledge, forming a very bad atmosphere. (New Society)
