Qi Ruhong: The wonderful sentences in it Phoenix City Qi Ruhong Someone asked me that speaking requires skills, so doesn't writing require even more skills? The answer is of course yes. When writing an article, you must pay attention to beautiful words, words, and sentences, and you must pay attention to beautiful expressions, successions, transitions, clear paragraphs, and meticulousness. However, composition can be carefully crafted and reviewed repeatedly, especially long-form essays. It is like manual art, where slow work is done carefully to ensure a refined product. When speaking, time conditions do not allow for slowness, and must be blurted out in seconds; in social situations, whether you speak first or answer questions, you must not hesitate or equivocate.因此，说话技巧优胜过写作技巧，有的人笔下洋洋洒洒描述千言，在对答时刻却张口结舌，哑口无言。 Analyze writing techniques to create short, concise prose that best displays the author's special skills. For example, ordinary short prose, or couplets of a few words, or poems of five or seven words, or profound riddles, some of them are very outstanding and brilliantly performed, allowing readers to understand the extraordinary meaning contained in them, which is really wonderful. The familiar phrase that often talks about "successful defeats" reflects the short and concise characteristics. Once modified, it has the opposite meaning. In the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guofan commanded the Hunan Army to fight against the Taiping Army and suffered successive defeats. He used this term in his report to the court. His subordinate Li Yuandu thought it was inappropriate. This tone meant that our army was poor and would be condemned. It should be changed to "repeated defeats and repeated battles", which would highlight the high fighting spirit and have a completely different meaning. It is really wonderful. Among the techniques of written expression, literati in the past usually expressed their opinions through the creation of couplets; in just a few words or a dozen words, the opinions stated by the couplet can be contained, and in response to the second couplet, one or two phrases can be used to reflect one's own opinions. When I was young in Vietnam, I often heard the elders talking about the story of Lun Wenxu in Guangdong and praising the couplet between him and Liu Xiankai. Legend has it that Lun Wenxu met Liu Xiankai when he went to Beijing. Liu looked down on the students from the south, so he wrote a couplet to respond, "Birds flying in the east and west, Phoenixes everywhere can't stand." The tone was obviously domineering, belittling Guangdong talents, Lun Wenxu knew that he was humiliating himself, so he showed no mercy He responded: "The southern lin leaps to the north, and all the beasts in the mountain bow their heads!" (Others say, "The southern dragon leaps to the north, and all the fish and turtles in the river bow their heads.") Here, both the upper and lower lines contain subtext, and the sentences contain mysterious artistic conceptions, which are incredible and show the wit of the user. At that time, the overseas Chinese in Guangdong greatly appreciated Lun Wenxu's eagerness and talent, and they often gave lectures on ancient materials after dinner. Lun Wenxu wrote more about Hu Yuan's poem about the picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix. Because the first two sentences of the poem are unremarkable: "One is born one after another, three, four, five, six, seven or eight." It is not only featureless but also a bit nondescript. Even though the following two sentences are very good, it shows that "there are so few phoenixes and so many birds. They peck all the people." Tens of millions of stones between them." could not restore the decline. The member was frustrated and complained about the waste of this famous painting by Su Dongpo. He asked for an explanation of those ambiguous numerical statements; but once the explanation was given, the member was amazed and exclaimed that it was wonderful. It turns out that the first sentence "one after another" equals two, the multiplication of three and four is twelve, the multiplication of five and six is ​​thirty, the multiplication of seven and eight is fifty-six, and the total adds up to exactly one hundred, correctly reciting the picture of "a hundred birds facing the phoenix". There are so many wonderful and mysterious works in Chinese literature in the past dynasties that it is impossible to describe them all. We can only talk about them within the scope of our knowledge, or selectively mention the more famous ones. For example, Cai Yong in the Eastern Han Dynasty passed by Cao'e's stele during his exile. He heard that the inscription on the stele was very good. He touched the stele and read it even at night. After reading it, he praised it so much that he wrote eight characters on the back of the stele: "Young woman in yellow silk, grandson Junjiu". At that time, no one understood its meaning. It was not until Yang Xiu solved the doubts that the yellow silk was colored silk, the young woman was a girl, the grandson was the daughter's son, and the mortar was a vessel for suffering. The whole sentence was "excellent and good." "褤" is an ancient word. Look! How wonderful! Not only in ancient times, but also in modern times, there are many witty sayings. As for riddles, some creations are very mysterious. In the early 1980s, the Red Cotton Program of the Central Broadcasting Station of the Republic of China in Taiwan once asked a "giant tree" riddle and guessed an idiom in the riddle project. I thought hard and found that the answer was "it comes naturally". I thought the creation was quite ingenious, and it was also wonderful.
