Seek a better composition theme.

In recent years, new stories sometimes appear in college entrance examination compositions. The so-called new story compilation means that the author makes full use of famous books, famous books or texts, adapts them, examines the characters, story lines and ideological content of the original with a modern eye, and reflects on real life with the characters, story lines and ideological content of the original, thus revealing the main idea. Now, this way of writing is more and more favored by teachers and students. Only this question is discussed here.

First, relying on the original charm of famous works (articles)

1, be familiar with famous works (articles) and find the feeling of composition.

Familiarity with famous works (articles) is the premise of writing new stories. It is absolutely necessary to ask middle school students to read several literary masterpieces or masterpieces from middle school. The Chinese Teaching Syllabus for Middle School clearly lists 26 masterpieces that middle school students must read, such as The Journey to the West, Water Margin, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dream of Red Mansions, Resurrection and Hamlet. We believe that middle school students should not only regard reading famous books as a curiosity, but also learn to have an impulse to rely on writing famous books, that is to say, they should learn to link the famous books (articles) they read with their compositions and make them a subconscious and regular thinking activity. Please read an article entitled "Who cares? Who cares? The last part of the composition.

"My old martial arts high strength, but there is nothing I can do. What do I care? " Wukong bowed his head and meditated. "I don't care what you care about. I care if Miss Gao is still waiting for me? " Bajie daydreamed with her chin cupped. "I'm thinking about it, too, but I am born stupid and can't figure it out." Friar Sand also sighed.

"Wukong, Wuneng, Wukong, come here and let the teacher solve your's doubts." The Tang Priest, who hadn't said a word for a long time, smiled. "In fact, what you said is right and wrong, but you failed to understand why, so you are depressed. Fish care, people care; Fish cares about people, people care about fish, and the average person has a heart. My Buddha is merciful to all beings, with limited strength and infinite heart, and all beings can be saved! "

At the end of the speech, the three disciples were stunned, pondered for a while, and then relieved. A somersault cloud in the Monkey King stood in the clouds and said, "I see! I'm leaving! "

Although the ending here is far from the artistic achievements of the original work, it makes people feel cordial and fresh, thus achieving success. When we savor it carefully, we find that Bajie's sentence "I don't care about what you care about, I care about whether Miss Gao is still waiting for me" is more suitable for his character, while Friar Sand is much gentler, so the sentence "I'm thinking, I'm born stupid and can't figure it out" is also suitable for his character. The most amazing thing is the Tang Priest's speech, which not only has the language of Journey to the West, but also has the tone of Tang Priest's, and the characterization is very accurate. These, if you don't read more famous books at ordinary times and don't read them carefully, are simply impossible.

2. Search related classics (articles) according to the topic.

The new composition of the story requires finding one or several literary masterpieces from one's own memory in the specified topic, and thinking about its details, such as the plot of the characters, whether it is possible to connect with this topic. For example, 200 1, with "sincerity" as the topic, some students linked the storyline and topics in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, such as "Peach Blossom Bride", "Guan Yu went through five hurdles and killed six generals" and "Red Rabbit Horse", and wrote excellent new stories such as Liu Bei's visit to friends and the death of Red Rabbit Horse. The following excerpt is from the excellent composition Goodbye Kong Yiji in 2000:

At night, I fell asleep with a lot of confusion. In a trance, I came to Xianheng Hotel written by Mr. Lu Xun. Same as before: curved counter, little waiter who is busy pouring wine. The shopkeeper who is writing pink cards and the waiter who drinks six glasses are very lively! Huh? Isn't Kong Yiji standing in front of the counter in a shabby blue gown, carrying a plate of salted green beans, pouring himself and drinking, and popping up words like "wisdom, Hu, philosophy and leaf" from time to time? Yes, that's him. His eyelids are blue and white, his hair is gray and unkempt, his blue robe is full of oil, and his face is vicissitudes. That's Kong Yiji and Lu Xun's "unfortunate, angry and indisputable". I hurried forward and bowed respectfully. "Mr. Kong, how do you spell fennel?"

"oh? Anise wine? There are four kinds? Look at "fennel", ... "

"Then it's autumn. What happened to the leaves? " I asked another question.

Kong Yiji's eyes lit up when someone noticed him. He put down his glass, narrowed his eyes, shook his head and said slowly, "That's a lot. Left, gone with the wind, fly, yellow ... Yes ... "

In order to complete the writing of the title "The answer is colorful", the author searched from the depths of his heart and finally found the plot of the word "fennel" in the text "Kong Yiji" that Kong Yi learned in junior high school. Isn't this a typical example of "rich and colorful answers"? So today we saw a new story, goodbye Kong Yiji.

For example, the appearance of the composition "My Opinion" in the 20)0 year college entrance examination is more representative. Candidates can recite a paragraph of Lu Xun's comments on A Dream of Red Mansions before the exam. In order to complete the composition "The answer is colorful", he boldly adopted the form of a new story and moved "Dream of Red Mansions" into his composition. Look at a fragment of this article, and you will understand how the author thought of writing in A Dream of Red Mansions.

From A Dream of Red Mansions, scholars saw the Book of Changes, revolutionaries saw fullness, Taoists saw obscenity, talented women and beautiful women saw lingering, and gossips saw the secrets of the palace. (Lu Xun) But what I see is anti-corruption.

Second, the words and deeds of the characters are roughly consistent with the famous works (articles)

In the new story composition, there is a problem worthy of the writer's attention: the words and deeds and thoughts of the characters should be generally consistent with the famous works (articles). If you don't grasp this well, the composition will be neither fish nor fowl, and it will be unrecognizable. The words and deeds of the original characters should be fully reflected in the composition, which makes people feel the feeling of revisiting the original or the original characters and stories at first sight. For example, 200 1 full mark composition "A New Story", please see its relevant paragraphs.

"Bang, bang, bang", the door of the Earth Temple opened very loudly, and someone outside called, "Ah Q, set up a factory. Go together, go together. " Ah Q quickly followed him and tripped over something without running a few steps ... so Ah Q woke up.

Now the country implements the policy of reform and opening up, allowing private enterprises to develop. So I came to Zhuang to set off a factory fever. Wang Hu and Xiao D both set up their own factories, being bosses, hanging BP machines around their waists and holding mobile phones. The scenery was so beautiful that they saw Ah Q didn't even lift his eyelids. At the thought of this, Ah Q became angry: "Shit, isn't it just a factory?" My old Q will also run one! "

Ah Q is a man with a business mind. When he saw Wei Zhuang men and women washing their hair, he put something sticky and green like bird droppings on their heads. He didn't know it was called shampoo until he asked. Ah Q found business opportunities and quickly registered a daily necessities company, specializing in the production of shampoo.

Ah Q built his factory on the Weihe River next to Weizhuang. The river was originally crystal clear, with a lot of fish and shrimp. Who knows that a few years ago, a fake foreign devil and Uncle Zhao set up a paper mill in partnership, and all the wastewater was discharged into the river. Now the fish and shrimp in the river have long since disappeared, and the river has turned dark green. Ah Q chose the site here just to take local materials and use this pool of green water as raw materials.

Soon, the factory was built. Ah Q hired Wu Ma and a little nun as workers, Wu Ma carried water, the little nun mixed washing powder into the water, Ah Q sprinkled some spices into it, and a tube of shampoo was ready. Ah Q can't help feeling smug about his cleverness.

Ah Q went abroad to buy some shampoo bottles, and then put the "products" produced in the factory in bottles and sold them outside.

At first, Ah Q's shampoo was neglected, and the product backlog was serious. Ah Q then used his brain again.

Ah Q went to the TV station to advertise, claiming that the brand-new green bottle produced by Wei Zhuang Q Company is soft in texture and ensures that your hair will be shiny and moving, black and elegant.

The effect of advertising is really amazing. Soon, A Q's products became bestsellers. Ah Q's pocket is bulging gradually.

Who knows, it won't last long. Within a few days, Q Company came to block the factory and fined AQ200,000. The reason is that Ah Q made fake and shoddy goods, made false advertisements and deceived consumers, which violated the principle of commercial integrity.

Ah Q is bankrupt. Every time he went to Wang Hu and D's factory, he saw the fire and said angrily, "Mom, one day, the green armor police will arrest you and behead you, Chen Wenjing!"

In this article, the author shows us a vivid Ah Q, whose thoughts, words and deeds are not far from the real Ah Q story ... For example, the author uses many oral expressions of Ah Q, such as "Mom's", "Chen Wenjing" and so on, as well as "Come with me" and "Old Q", which are also classic expressions in the original work. The author is well aware of the ideological connotation of the original work, so the written Ah Q seems to be the Ah Q in The True Story of Ah Q, which is the character we often say to write the original work.

Third, carry forward the original flavor of famous books (articles) and look for the modern flavor of famous books (articles)

1, according to the topic, associate relevant points in real life.

Finding the relevant points with the original in real life is the bottleneck of new story composition. That is to say, when writing a new composition, our composition must reflect real life, and the characters and story lines in the original work coincide with some phenomena in real life, thus either exposing the dark side of reality or praising the bright spot in real life. If this is done well. Then the article will have depth, not just staying on the surface of the original, but inheriting and developing. The appropriate method is to criticize the reality by satirizing the past, to warn people and to sound the alarm for the world. Please see the relevant paragraphs in 200 1 Use Your Gentleness, Flattery and Background.

Yes, you are famous for Luxun, a master of modern literature in China. In today's literary world, right and wrong, many people believe in authority and put aside honesty, style and personality for the time being ... At this time, when you come to our society today, you can trust your brilliant background and write some memoirs (of course, you don't have to write, this can be done by your secretary. Recall the world and human feelings of that year, and recall Lu Xun of that year. Your memoirs may be unpleasant. But please don't worry about the price drop. Because there are always some senior critics in China, turning a sentence into an article will take care of Lu Xun's face and flatter you.

Now your memoir, it's time to be popular. Then you can go to the officialdom to mix officials. Although our society is now a socialist society, there is always a chance to gain a foothold. For example, you can make use of your speeches at various conferences, make friends with celebrities and dignitaries, and take advantage of opportunities to "shoot" various "people" extensively, so that you can rise to the top. Comrade ah q, it's good to be such an official. I think, before Comrade Cheng was arrested, the official road was excellent! However, this flattering official road may not go far, because our party is paying close attention to it!

Of course, if you want to marry a wife, you'd better be a singer, as long as you put on a cool stage and have a somewhat hypocritical personality, and do some lip-synching. Are you afraid that girls will not be crazy about you? Honesty in music will never be as popular as pop songs.

You can finally do business with your gentleness. Don't laugh, now business pays attention to honesty, and there are experts selling dog meat everywhere. At that time, the hat of the richest man in Chinese mainland was not a lie. You use your gentle smiling face and cunning deception, but you are still worried about getting rich?

The author invited Ah Q from The True Story of Ah Q, and gave him suggestions on the future direction of life, such as writing memoirs, hanging out in officialdom, seeking a wife, and doing business with Lu Xun's fame, but they were all circuitous suggestions, but it was these suggestions that were everywhere in real life, thus satirizing the real society. At the end of the article, the author said: "Comrade Ah Q, please think twice about Mei Qin's contribution, but reply quickly. Our party has been built for 80 years, and the dishonest and dishonest plots above may not last long. " It is the sublimation of the theme of honesty.

2, according to the famous works (articles), into the atmosphere of life.

It is inconceivable that a college entrance examination composition has no breath of life. The breath of life means that you can find the shadow of life in the original text, instead of talking, talking there, having content, reflecting life and revealing the connotation of life. This composition appears to have weight and depth. This is also a point that must be paid attention to in the new composition of the story. Almost all new stories are like this. Such as 200 1 college entrance examination full score composition "Zhu Gui opens a shop" fragment:

Zhu Gui then pulled away his legs. He first asked Sun Erniang, the most experienced hotel owner. Mei Feng picked it up in two years, put it in Zhu Gui's ear, and spit out a word: "Rape!" Zhu Gui thought for a moment and nodded thoughtfully.

Zhu Gui went to consult Lu, who often stayed in this hotel. "Flower monk" listened and said casually, "Zanjia, with all due respect, what this shop wants is beauty and fragrance, and nothing else."

Then, Zhu Gui went to find some brothers. Chefs come from the palace, and young ladies have pink faces. But the price is too high: a glass of palace jade wine,188; Lamian Noodles, the imperial capital, spent 999. On the first day of opening, the income was 18 thousand, and the situation was gratifying.

On the second day of opening, it declined. Barely get by.

On the third day, you can't make ends meet-don't worry, this is a "bear market" and needs to rebound.

But the days passed by. The situation in this hotel is not getting better either. Zhu Gui is worried that he is "haggard" and his pants are thin. Think about it, but I don't know what's wrong.

One day, Lu Junyi came. This "Jade Kirin" used to be a big official, and he had a research on eating nature. Zhu Gui quickly ordered the food: just after a few bites, Mr. Lu frowned and looked around the deserted hotel. He understood seven or eight points in his heart and said to Zhu Gui, "I don't have any money today, so I'd better give you something!" " Zhu Gui's abacus rattled in his heart. Think of it as paying someone to write an inscription. Lu Junyi picked up a pile of ink, and then jumped to the page: Authentic, Honesty. Zhu Gui lost sleep that night.

The author skillfully let Zhu Gui of Water Margin open a modern shop through time and space, with the purpose of reflecting and exposing real life through the opening of this character. In real life, there are many "Sun Erniang" who run black shops. Their "perfidy" laid a curse for Zhu Gui's loss in opening a shop and became Zhu Gui's guiding ideology, which was just the opposite of "sincerity" and grasped the theme from the opposite side. But "Flower Monk" customers' heart "Beauty Fragrant Wine" is the management experience of many people in modern society, so Miss Zhu Gui is pink peach blossom, while "Palace Jade Wine, one cup188; The Imperial Capital Lamian Noodles, Consumption 999 "is a representation of real life and has a strong modern flavor. From this perspective, the new story composition must also have a strong flavor of life.

Fourth, several practical creative principles of new story writing.

1, the whole principle of "cloning"

When writing, the famous articles you have learned or read are directly used in the composition, thus showing the artistic charm of "cloning". 200 1 the copy of the ancient epitaph of the epitaph of the faithless shows the importance of honesty from the opposite side. Mr. Honest's clone obituary (a mourning style that records the deeds of the deceased before his death) praises honesty from the front; In 2002, Peacock Flying Southeast boldly cloned one of Yuefu's masterpieces, Peacock Flying Southeast, and achieved remarkable results. Please enjoy Huang Guangchuan's excellent work Guo Qing Lun based on the principle of cloning.

The collapse of the Qing palace was not due to lack of strength, but to lack of strength. Lack of skills, the road to failure. Or: "Do you complain about your incompetence when you are at peace?" He said: "Those who make peace complain that their technology is too poor. Beggars can't survive after repeated defeats and wars. So the disadvantage lies in poor technology. "

In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Taizong took control of the Central Plains by the battle of Salhu, and Taizong went to Beijing to be named Qing Dynasty, and the Eight Banners pursued him, making the Jurchen the world. When Li Hong worked hard. However, the feudal dynasty, the doctrine of the mean and the way of governing the country were not based on the skills of the people, so compared with Britain, it was not alone, and its materials and even cognitive benefits were quite different. From Emperor Gaozong to courtiers, they all closed their eyes and listened. Ignorance is like a person in a deep forest, but they don't know there is Britain, regardless of its technology. When the ship was built and guns were used to destroy the country, the dream of "going to China" woke up at first, looked up, saw monsters not in the dream, and heard terrible things unheard of in the dream. Although there was resistance, it was only a drop in the bucket and eventually fell apart!

It is common for military strategists to lose and win. I lost the first world war, but I can still win. What is there to be afraid of? However, the defeat of World War I made it difficult for the monarch and his subjects to sleep, tossing and turning, thinking about their own safety. A wooden boat with a blunt sword can't really strengthen the boat and sharpen the gun, so the more you think about it, the more afraid you are, and you don't lose. A certain amount of compensation, how weak the national strength is; Open a few places and the market is narrow; Divided into one place, sovereignty will be lost for a hundred years; Reduce taxes by tens of percent, and lose a lot of autonomy.

Oh! If all the advisers in the world are sealed in the land that serves Britain, and Britain's wealth is used to promote its own science and technology and fight imperialism, I'm afraid the British can't sit back and relax. Sad husband! Boasting that the empire is the oldest and splendid, I don't know that old people often think about the past, while young people often think about the future. Only thinking about the past will produce nostalgia, thinking about the future will produce hope; Only nostalgia is conservative, but hope is enterprising; Only the conservative is always old, while the enterprising is always new; Only the old skills are poor and the new skills are high.

Hey, I'm the only one who will eventually destroy this country!

The author attributed the failure of the Opium War to "technical poverty", which is not completely accurate, but it also partly reveals the essence of the problem. He not only found the material of his choice, but also developed it. This style is novel, the language is unique, and the simple form of classical Chinese is adopted, which shows the students' profound knowledge of classical Chinese and their ability to master the language. This is commendable. This student is a rare "all-rounder", with a wide range of knowledge, strong induction and generalization ability and sophisticated language. At the end of the article, the discussion style of young chinese is applied, which is very unique and can't help but make people applaud. However, it should be noted that this kind of cloning can not be imitated casually, and it can only be used with considerable cultural accumulation and extraordinary language expression ability.

2, the principle of reverse thinking

When the story is newly compiled, we can use the principle of reverse thinking to think, so as to design an ending that is contrary to history or inconsistent with the original ending, thus showing the author's own unique personality. Works in this field produce excellent works every year. Please look at the story fragment of the 200O-year college entrance examination masterpiece "New Gong Yu and Wisdom Fight":

When he got home, Yu Gong called his family for a meeting. At the meeting, he put forward a wise old method. The whole family thought it was wonderful after listening to it, and they split up the next day. It turned out that Zhisou suggested using these two mountains to develop resources and introduce funds, which not only saved manpower, but also produced economic benefits. Isn't this a good way to kill two birds with one stone? No wonder home is called Miao.

In the next few years, Gong Yu personally went up the mountain to explore resources and found many rare animals and plants on the mountain. So Zhisou went to the town to apply for establishing a nature reserve. Gong Yu's son came to town again and invited an engineering team to build a road leading to the mountain. Everything is ready, you should know that they are going to open a nature park. Finally, I have to give it a name. Zhisou thinks that Gong Yu has a high reputation, so it is better to call it "Stupid Garden", and the name is settled. Finally, Zhisou asked the advertising company to help him advertise. After so long, the "Idiot Park" finally opened. This time, Zhisou really contributed.

People in the city were surprised to hear that Gong Yu had used the palace and Taihang Mountain to open up a park. They all want to see it. When they get there, it's really extraordinary, towering green hills, birds and animals, so that you can approach them at will. Gong Yu and Zhizuo personally greeted the tourists and took photos with them. These mountains are not as quiet as they used to be. The city is connected with mountains. Gong Yu couldn't help sighing: Actually, it's good not to move mountains. What are you afraid of with such roads and "stupid parks"?

Gong Yu moved mountains and rivers, which really showed his perseverance, but things should be considered from many angles. Just like Gong Yu in our story, didn't he achieve his goal by not moving mountains?

When we were in junior high school, we studied Yugong Yishan, and we were deeply moved by Yugong's persistent belief and strong perseverance. However, the author of this paper adapted the original work by the method of reverse thinking: instead of moving mountains, he let Yugong come to modern society and built a "Yugong Park" on Taihang Mountain and Wuwang Mountain with the help of Zhizuo. The full text is full of environmental awareness and people's commodity awareness under the market economy, which is actually a picture of modern life. The success of this paper lies in that the author did not stick to the traditional view of Yugong Yishan, but made bold innovation and reverse thinking, which made this paper successful. In 2002, there were many excellent stories written with reverse thinking. Among them, the choice behind the hill is an example. Look at one of the clips:

"To pay YaoQin heart. There are few bosom friends, who will listen to the broken string? " I thought of Li Gang, the mayor of Bianjing. I defended Bianjing, but was rejected by the court and died on my way home. I thought of Zong Ze and tried to recover lost ground, but I shouted "crossing the river" three times in my hospital bed and died of grief. I thought of myself, how will the court treat me? Prison or strangulation? I died in battle, and I fought in battle in shining armor. For whom? The ancestral motto "Don't let others sleep beside the couch" has long been softened by singing and dancing. What's the use of such a fatuous monarch protecting him? Withdraw! Withdraw! I can't help being angry. However, how can Zhao Can's exquisite pod painting be better than the golden thief's iron boat? A swift horse, too fat to walk, how can it become an opponent of Land Rover soldiers? I seem to hear my widowed mother crying, as if I saw a body lying on the ground, and my mother was pointing at my nose and scolding me. I broke out in a cold sweat and shouted, "Zhong Jun!" "yes." He's a sturdy northern guy. I patted him on the shoulder and said, "command, pull out the village and March!" " "

In the long narrative poem Yue Zhuan and related historical books, Yue Fei did not resist the order of the twelve gold medal squadrons to return to the DPRK, but went back and was finally killed in the Fengbo Pavilion on charges of "unwarranted". But in this paper, the author thinks backwards and adapts the original story. Yue Fei's spiritual choice is biased towards "pulling out the village and marching into the army", which is different. So when we watch movies and TV in the future, don't make a fuss when we see that some stories are not true. Because it is art, not history.

3. Expand the plot principle

Sometimes, we can spread out a story in the original work and then write a composition with other related stories in the original work. This is another important principle of the new story. Let's take a look at the fragment of the 200 1 college entrance examination perfect composition "The Death of a Red Rabbit":

Ma Zhong led Bob back to the house and went to the trough. He saw Red Rabbit lying on the ground, sobbing. Everyone is puzzled, but Bo likes to know. Bo Xi shrugged off the soldiers, stroking their backs and sighed, "Once upon a time, Cao Cao wrote,' Although turtles live a long life,' an old horse crouches in a tiger, aiming for a thousand miles. "Martyrs are full of courage in their twilight years. I know you miss General Guan's kindness and want to study underground. However, when the White Gate Tower in Lv Fengxian died that day, he also saw how interdependent you were. Why not take such suicide today? "

Red hare hissed and sighed: "Taste it,' A bird is dying, and its song is also sad; When people are dying, their words are very good. "I was lucky to meet Mr. Wang today, so I can tell you my heartfelt words. I was born in Xijing and was later acquired by Dong Zhuo. This man was arrogant and killed Shaodi and Wolong Bed. He is really a Chinese thief, and I hate it. "

Bo Xi nodded and said, "I heard that Marotta proposed to dedicate you to Lu Bu, who was the first brave general in the world. Everyone says,' Lu Bu in the crowd, Red Rabbit in the horse pile', and I want to live up to your ambition. "

Red hare sighed and said, "It's not fair. Lyu3 bu4 this person is the most treacherous, killing Ding Yuan for honor, stabbing Dong Zhuo for beauty, taking Xuzhou for Liu Bei, marrying Yuan Shu, and beheading his marriage envoy. Being as famous as such a dishonest person is a great shame in my life. Later, he returned to Cao Cao, and his men were like clouds, but no one was a hero. I'm afraid I'll only be humiliated by slaves and die in the gutter. -Later, Cao Cao gave me to General Guan; I have seen Hulao Pass's bravery and kindness on the White Gate Tower before, and I have admired him for a long time. General Guan saw my great joy and thanked Cao Cao. When Cao Cao asked why, General Guan replied, "I know this horse travels thousands of miles every day, but it is a good thing now." . If I know where my brother is tomorrow, I can see him in a day. He is so honest, as the saying goes:' Couples fly far away, and people are virtuous and of high quality'. I dare not repay peace with death? "

Bo was very happy when he heard this. He sighed and said, "Everyone says that the general is an honest man. This is indeed what I heard today. "

Red hare sobbed and said, "I have tasted the lofty meaning of not eating Boyi and Shu Qi in Zhou Su. Jade can be broken without damaging its whiteness, and bamboo can be broken without destroying its knots. Scholars die for friends, people live for sincerity, and I would like to eat Wu Su and live in the world? " With these words, he fell to the ground and died.

We know that there is a plot in Chapter 77 of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms: "After the death of Guan Yu, Ma Zhong was given the right to ride a red hare. His horse died without feed for a few days. " The author of "The Death of Red Rabbit Horse" borrows this story about Red Rabbit Horse from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, develops its story reasonably, and reveals that everyone should have honesty in real life. The author of this paper also designed a dialogue between Red Rabbit and Bo Xi, who is proficient in horse language, and used the horse's mouth to contact the relevant stories in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is also a very important link and worth learning.

I wonder if there are any good ones. If so, remember to give points! ! !
