What is a travelogue?

Travel notes, as the name suggests, are travel notes. That is, a record of a trip, tour, visit, etc. Here, travel has many meanings: travel, tour, play, excursion, visit, visit, inspection, etc. 2. Classification of travel notes Travel notes can be divided into many types. Those that focus on recording the itinerary are narrative travelogues; those that focus on expressing emotions are lyrical travelogues; those that focus on describing scenery and landscapes are landscape-type travelogues; those that illustrate a principle through travel notes are reasoning-type travelogues. However, no matter what kind of travel notes, they all achieve the purpose of recording, expressing emotions, and reasoning by describing the natural scenery, scenic spots, urban landscapes, and people and things in the landscapes. Therefore, when writing travel notes, you must have a record of "travel". Without "travel", there will be no "travel notes". 3. How to write travel notes. No matter what kind of travel notes you write, you should pay attention to the following points when writing: 1. Clues in travel notes. Some people say that writing an article is like a string of beads. There is no clue to connect the various elements. The article will be fragmented or disorganized. This is especially true when writing travel notes. There must be a reasonable clue running through it. This clue can also be said to be the order of writing. In travel notes, probably the most commonly used writing sequence is whereabouts. That is to say, it is written in the order of tour. For example, if you write a travel diary about a visit to the zoo, you can describe it one by one in the order of the visit. In addition, the organizational relationship and orientation relationship of the scenery are also used as clues for travel notes. We suggest that when you first learn to write travel notes, you must use certain clues to organize the article, so as to develop a clear writing habit from the beginning. 2. The subject in travel notes refers to the person or group that does the thing. Since it is a tour, there must be a main body of the tour. In the writing of travel notes, if there are no people, it is almost the same as expository essays or scene description prose. There are many different ways to point out the subject in the travel notes, which can be pointed out at the beginning. For example, at the beginning of a travel note, an author wrote: "Today, the students in our class were invited by the head teacher, Mr. Li. "We visited Peking University under the leadership of the teacher", and pointed out that the main body of the travel note is "the classmates in our class and Teacher Li"; in addition, the main body of the travel note can also appear naturally during the writing process, or it can be pointed out at the end of the article. 3. Scenery description in travel notes The description of scenery is also an important part of travel notes. People are the subject and scenery is the object. Scenery descriptions in travel notes should be written selectively and focused according to the needs of writing. The description of the scenery in the travel notes should best match the theme of the article. For example, when a classmate wrote an article about visiting the Great Wall, he focused on describing the ancient grandeur of the Great Wall and the clean and tidy surrounding scenic environment, and closely combined the description of the scenery with the themes of cultural relic protection and environmental protection. 4. Places in travel notes When writing travel notes, be sure to describe the places to visit or visit, such as aquariums, prairie, science and technology museums, etc. 5. Travel notes should distinguish primary and secondary ones. Although travel notes are records of the tour process, they are not comprehensive records. I once saw a travel diary written by a college student. He started writing it when he got up in the morning, and then wrote how he had breakfast, how he went out and took the bus, what he saw on the road, what happened... he wrote them all one by one, until he finally returned home. Home. A travelogue, written with tens of thousands of words. But there's nothing impressive about it. This kind of writing is not a travelogue, but a running account, and no one wants to read it. In travel notes, important itineraries, distinctive landscapes, things that play an important role in expressing the main body of the article, etc., should be described in focus, and other things should be mentioned in one stroke, or simply omitted. Only articles written in this way will have clear priorities, prominent themes, and exquisite details.
