Ancient Poetry and Prose Composition Part 1
If my growth experience is a big river, then ancient poetry and prose must be one of its main tributaries. From them, I can appreciate the solitary smoke of the desert, the resentment of the Qiang flute; the boldness of Su Shi, the sighs of Lu You; the glory of the prosperous times, the smoke of the troubled times... Ancient poems and articles have brought me countless inspirations and thoughts, and they have led me to grow.
The heroic spirit of "going eastward"
I remember when I was in elementary school, I had a falling out with my best friend over a trivial matter. I came home depressed and heard a "bang" sound. The door was locked, and I accidentally opened "Selected Literature of the Ancient Dynasties". What jumped into my eyes was the sentence "Go to the east of the Yangtze River and hunt for all...". I watched with fascination and gradually began to recite aloud. Each magnificent and heroic swan song broadens my mind. The unhappiness just now was completely forgotten, and my chest was filled with only openness.
The joy of "ringing like a ring"
Once I went out to play with my mother. I was a little irritable because of my physical discomfort, and I turned a blind eye to the beautiful scenery on the roadside. When my mother saw this, she handed me a piece of paper. When I took it and took a look, it turned out to be Liu Zongyuan's "The Story of Little Rock Pond": "Go west to the hill and walk a hundred and twenty steps, across the bamboos, hear the sound of water, like a ring ring, The joy of my heart..." Words full of joy flowed into my heart like a clear spring, bringing me great refreshment. Liu Zongyuan was able to find the joy of living in beautiful scenery even though he was unappreciated for his talents. How could I ignore this beautiful spring scenery just because of a little discomfort?
The teachings of "Bo Le" and "Qianli Ma"
During a guzheng competition, I thought I was a superb guzheng player, but I didn't even pass the preliminary round. I suddenly became discouraged and my skills gradually fell into disrepair. . Until one day, I saw Han Yu's "Horse Theory", "There is Bole in the world, and then there are thousand-mile horses. Thousand-mile horses always exist, but Bole does not always exist." Can you give up hope easily? Then, I picked myself up again and finally passed the ninth level exam and became an excellent piano player.
Every piece of ancient poetry is like a stone, knocking on my heart. They not only broadened my horizons, but also pulled me back from confusion and frustration time and time again. Ancient poetry and prose are truly the best teachers to teach me how to grow. Ancient Poetry Composition Part 2
The "Learning Chinese Studies and Reciting Classics" ancient poetry competition was held in our school.
"It's begun! It's begun!" It's about to begin. The audience is looking forward to it, but what about the actors? So nervous again.
The first group of first-grade children performed so cutely. The second group of second grade children sang so seriously. An hour and thirty minutes later, we were finally here. The students in our class sang seriously, such as: Spring sleeps without waking up, and we hear birds singing everywhere... Seeing that it was almost time to get out of school, everyone sat outside all afternoon. The performance was still going on, and warm applause kept coming from the venue.
This performance reminded me of a saying: Ten minutes on stage, ten years off stage. Ancient Poetry and Prose Composition Part 3
The ancients often said, "The spirit of poetry and calligraphy comes from the heart." Classical poetry contains profound cultural heritage and emotional resources. The wonderful use of ancient poetry can activate language expression. Highlight the content of the article. Make the article exude a strong bookish and cultural atmosphere. This is undoubtedly an effective and convenient way for college entrance examination essays to be "outstanding" and "innovative". So, how to use ancient poems and prose to add color to your college entrance examination composition?
1. Use famous quotes from ancient poems and essays to make them stand out
This is the most common way in college entrance examination composition. Quotations can be divided into partial citations and full citations.

Quote famous lines from ancient poetry in the title of the article. It can make the title appear elegant and meaningful, full of literary interest, and make it eye-catching and encourage people to read. For example, the 20xx candidates from Fujian Province quoted the sentence from Su Shi's "Ding Fengbo" as the title, which is closely related to the selected historical figure. Appropriate and concise. He also made clear the title of the article and wrote about Su Shi's open-mindedness and detachment. It can be described as "killing two birds with one stone".
Embed poems and lines at the beginning of the article. This leads to the whole article. It can make the language appear concise and incisive. It allows the markers to immediately "see" the author's cultural heritage and humanistic qualities, leaving them with a better first impression. For example, the beginning of "Searching for Happiness, Wonderful Life" written by candidates from Shaanxi Province in 20xx:
"Walking on the path with slowly falling leaves in autumn. I couldn't help but chant: 'The endless fallen leaves are rustling, and endless sadness is rolling in. '. Lamenting the sadness and misfortune of fallen leaves. In fact, the life of fallen leaves may be just to be luxuriant in spring and colorful in autumn. Gong Zizhen once said, "Falling red is not a heartless thing that turns into spring mud to protect flowers." 'Well! We should rejoice and enjoy the colorful autumn scenery."
This beginning is created by the scene. It is adapted from Du Fu's "The boundless falling trees are rustling, and the endless Yangtze River is rolling in". Naturally, it evokes the association of fallen leaves, and then quotes Gong Zizhen's famous saying. It appropriately explains the connotation of the philosophical topic "happiness and our way of thinking". This treatment makes the article seem profound at the beginning. Poetic and lively.

"'If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky. It rushes to the sea and never returns. If you don't see it, the mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and the morning is like blue silk and the evening is full. Snow. Time flies like water, and time passes like lightning. Perhaps, only history can make the words "full of words" on the head of the monument, and perhaps only history can best explain Zeng Guofan's desire to wear a yellow robe in Tianjing City. There is a sentence that expresses the mood of my life: The sky shines on the sea and there are countless flowers. The heart knows itself when the water flows high. ”
The three quotations are apt and natural. Make the article literary and elegant. It is a blend of emotion and logic, with far-reaching implications, and provides a dialectical and profound evaluation of Zeng Guofan, a historical figure. It is really a beautiful and powerful "leopard tail".

"What is loneliness? Once upon a time. Li Bai 'raised a glass to invite the bright moon, and made three people in the shadow'. Perhaps, loneliness is It's the bright moon in the sky, the wind is like water, and everything is silent. Once upon a time, empress Li said with emotion, "The moon is like a hook, and the lonely phoenix tree locks the clear autumn in the courtyard." Maybe, this is loneliness. It is the deep palace compound. The country is worried about the family and the people are also worried about the entanglement of love! Once upon a time, Chen Ziang lamented, "I have never seen the ancients before, and I have never seen the coming ones. I think about the long journey of heaven and earth, and I shed tears." Perhaps, loneliness is the fragrance. The grass remains the same, the end of the world remains the same, the empty state of mind is different! So I asked the moon. Chang'e in Guanghan Palace told me that loneliness is like "the shadow of the candle on the mica screen is deep, and the stars are gradually setting in the blue sky every night." Heart'. What is loneliness? I can't answer."
Quotes from five famous poems in one paragraph. Use this as the carrier of the emotion and logic of the article. "Loneliness" has a profound cultural connotation. It not only adds bright color to the article, but also enhances the persuasiveness and appeal of the argument. Make the article rich in content. Full of elegant poetry and rich humanistic atmosphere.

The article is titled with a famous quote from Su Shi. It is a very appropriate allusion to the topic of the composition "Emotional closeness and recognition of things"; it then quotes Cui Hu's poem "Last year, today, in this door, the human face and the peach blossoms reflected each other's red.

The ancients paid great attention to organization when writing poems and compositions. Each poem (piece) has its complete writing structure and writing context. In addition, ancient poems and essays themselves are concise and meaningful, with harmonious phonology, so ancient poems and essays are used to lay out the writing structure of the article. Not only can the article be layered and structured, but it can also give people an elegant and beautiful feeling, which can impress readers in the shortest time. at this point. The outstanding composition of the Hunan College Entrance Examination in 20xx "Pipa Xing: Parents Are Affection" set a good example. This composition directly applies the structural form of white poetry, directly extracts the verses related to music description in the poem "Pipa Xing", and weaves the whole text structure: "The turning shaft plucking the strings three or two times. There is emotion before the tune is formed." "The orioles are whispering at the end of the flower," "The big strings are noisy like the rain, and the small strings are like whispers. The noises are mixed, and the big and small beads fall on the jade plate." "The ice spring is cold and the strings are condensed. The sound will never stop. Don’t let sorrow and hatred arise. Silence is better than sound at this time.” "At the end of the song, the plectrum is carefully drawn, and the four strings sound like cracking silk", "Who among the seats cried the most. The pearl in the palm has wet eyes (the original poem is 'Jiangzhou Sima's green shirt is wet')". These verses in "Pipa Xing" themselves are key verses that connect the content of the poems and weave the lyrical context. It is cited as a language mark for the conversion of article writing. Not only does it cleverly connect some life details of my parents' care and education for "me" from childhood to adulthood. And it makes the writing structure of the article open and close. Reading has a different charm.
3. Imitate the language of ancient poems and write brilliantly
Language is the first pass of the article. The language of college entrance examination essays must be as appropriate and accurate as possible according to the needs of the article. It should also reflect the color of personality as much as possible. If your classical Chinese skills are relatively solid. You might as well imitate the language of classical poetry. Use classical Chinese writing to express modern sentiments. This is undoubtedly a great way to stand out in college entrance examination essays. There are successful examples of this in college entrance examination essays over the years. For example, "The Death of the Red Rabbit" by Nanjing candidates in 20xx, "Admonition to Qu Yuan" by Jiangsu candidates in 20xx, "The Fool's Biography" by Sichuan candidates in 20xx, and "The Turning Point" by Beijing candidates, etc.
These excellent college entrance examination compositions draw lessons from the language of classical poetry. It shows the author's unique writing talent and profound classical literacy. And better ability to control language. Of course, classical Chinese is a product of the old era after all, and this method of language expression itself may not be worthy of promotion and encouragement. The content of this section is only a reference for candidates. You know. The success of these excellent compositions depends on "novel stories", "lofty intentions", "sophisticated language" and "substantial content". These are the keys to their success.

Good classical poems are full of inspiration. Simple in words but rich in meaning. It can arouse readers' endless associations and imagination through vivid images and tense expressions. Through the rewriting of ancient poems and prose. to convey your feelings about life. It can also make your college entrance examination essays show a charming color. Add a little poetry. certainly.

"Dongpo's Choice" written by Jiangsu candidates in 20xx was successful using this writing method. This college entrance examination composition adopts the artistic conception of Su Shi's "Ode to the Former Red Cliff" and "Niannujiao Nostalgia of the Red Cliff". It focuses on Su Shi's life experiences on a sentimental and broad-minded night in Chibi. Wrote Su Shi's "Choice of the Soul". It captures the charm of the original work. A new sentiment emerged.
Rewriting can be the use of artistic conception. Reproduce the scenes of ancient poetry. You can also look for "gaps" in classic classics and creatively transform the content.

The Chinese nation has been around for five thousand years, from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the starry sky of ancient poetry and prose is dazzling. I like to wander in the starry sky of ancient poetry and explore its unique charm.
I love the unique picture scenes in ancient poetry. Wang Wei, who was praised as "there are paintings in poems and poems in paintings", once wrote about the scenery of the frontier fortress, "The solitary smoke is straight in the desert, and the sun is setting in the long river." From this poem, I seem to see the floating mountains above the desert. A straight line of smoke rises, and a red sun slowly sets on the edge of the Yellow River. In Du Fu's "City in Spring with Deep Grass and Trees", I saw the scene of the country's demise after the An-Shi Rebellion. The capital was conquered, and the mountains and rivers were still there, but the prosperity of the past was no longer there, and the capital was overgrown with weeds. In the early morning of spring, looking at the houses under the moonlight, the footprints of pedestrians have been imprinted on the road covered with silver frost. This reminds me of "the sound of chickens in that cottage in the moonlight, and the frost on Banqiao". "The sky, clouds, mountains and water are all white." I saw the West Lake after the snow. The sky and the earth were completely the same. The white air was diffuse around the ice flowers. There was only a long embankment, a pavilion in the middle of the lake, a small boat and a few grains of people on it. Just a shadow. How can such poetry not make people intoxicated?
I love the beauty of sincere and simple human feelings in ancient poetry. Wang Lun invited Li Bai to be a guest. Before Li Bai left, he suddenly heard singing on the shore, "The water in Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep, and it is not as sincere as Wang Lun's love for me." During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Shi endured loneliness, drank happily, and issued the best wishes of "I hope you will live long and travel thousands of miles to visit the beautiful lady". Han Yu went to court in the morning and was demoted to Chaozhou, eight thousand miles away in the evening. However, he still did not change his concern for the country and the people, and dedicated his remaining years to the country. He had the spirit of "wanting to eliminate evil things for the sage, and he is willing to cherish his remaining years." loyal heart. There is also the idea and spirit of Ouyang Xiu who held a banquet on Langya Mountain in Chuzhou to drink and have fun with the people.
I love the philosophical sentences in ancient poetry. It can be seen from the sentence in "Traveling to Shanxi Village" that "there is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers". It can be seen that the road is endless, and there will eventually be a glimmer of hope. I still remember Wangwan’s saying “The sun is rising and the night is dying, and the spring is entering the old year.” It tells us that time changes and new things will eventually replace old things. Fan Zhongyan said: "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself." Don't be happy or sad because of changes in the external environment and your own situation. Looking back at the bleak place, when you go back, there will be no wind and rain and no heart. Wind and rain in the world are normal.
I love ancient poetry and the implications in it. Ancient poetry and prose make me intoxicated. Ancient Poetry Composition Part 5
Yesterday’s ancient poetry competition is something I will never forget. Looking back on the past few days, we were very tired, but I am very happy that we were able to perform on stage.
We entered the venue and saw a sea of ??people, crowded and cheerleading teams everywhere. Some people shouted "Come on", and some were clapping their hands. I looked at all this and felt very nervous. Because I saw other classes performing wonderfully, I felt a lot of psychological pressure.
Let’s talk about the second class first. They were directed by Wei Xinran and sang very well. It was our turn. My heart was pounding and I went up to the stage. I sang "Spring Dawn" loudly. People in the audience were talking about it. It sounded like I was praising us, but the situation was not good. I sang "Spring Dawn" halfway through. , we forgot to sing it again, we sang out of order, but we quickly calmed down. At the end, the teacher took us to make up for the song we had just forgotten, but we still lost to Class 2.
Although we lost, we were still very happy. Ancient Poetry Composition Part 6
For many students, appreciation of ancient poetry and selected classical Chinese essays seem to be difficult points in the exam. But to me, they are not so much "enemies" as they are friends we have never understood, because I am willing to walk into them and into that "paradise" sealed by history.
Once upon a time, I gradually fell in love with ancient poetry. Under the guidance of my parents, I can recite many ancient poems, but they always seem to be just words. I can’t remember when, those mysterious words that were always in the clouds and unclear, seemed to gently open my heart to me, and opened the door to their world. Although it was just the tip of the iceberg, I did get a glimpse of the beautiful scenery on the other side. I began to greedily expand my horizons in various ways. From books to TV shows, anything related to ancient poetry would attract my attention.
Finally, I entered the wonderful world of ancient poetry. There, I got to know the unappreciated Li Bai, the caring Du Fu, the ambitious Xin Qiji, the graceful and delicate Li Qingzhao... Every line of their poems and every line made me obsessed, and I gradually became intoxicated, not knowing where to go. . There, I experienced the lofty mountains, the lonely smoke in the desert, visited the Fenghuo Border Pass, and the misty Jiangnan. Gradually, I changed from knowing nothing about ancient poetry to being able to understand the meaning of the text, and to understand the emotions of the poets.
Now, I regard ancient poetry as a part of my life. When I have nothing to do, walking on the road and reciting a few poems, my mind will fly into another world, chatting and laughing with the ancients. In the examination room, if you read classical Chinese a few times, each story will appear before your eyes like a slide. When reading the poems to be appreciated, the picture of the poet writing becomes extremely clear, as if he experienced it personally. This is a song with words that only I can hear.
The world of ancient poetry is not out of reach. As long as you are willing to open that door, it will definitely bring you an unprecedented wonderful experience. Ancient Poetry Composition Chapter 7
On Friday afternoon, our school held an ancient poetry contest.
This afternoon, the teacher took us to the square. We found our seats and sat down to listen quietly. We waited and waited. The first grade passed, the performances of the second and third grade also ended, and finally it was time for the fourth grade class to perform. We quickly went backstage and practiced again before going on stage. Liu Yongqi recited "Man Jiang Hong" vividly in front, and we harmonized in the back. After reciting "Man Jiang Hong", we started singing "Tomorrow's Song". Wei Xinran was conducting from the front wearing a red tuxedo. We successfully finished singing the song, and there was warm applause from the audience.
The next one is "Wandering Son's Song" performed by the third class, which is also very outstanding. I also saw Yue Fei played by Jing Tao from the fifth team, who was like the Qin Shihuang in ancient times.
The most exciting time came, and we were all very nervous. In the end, our class won the first place, and we shouted loudly: "Yeah!" Ancient Poetry Composition 8
"Why should I cut the candles from the west window, but talk about the rainy night in Bashan?" "When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky with wine" and "Guan Guan Sui Dove, on the island of the river." These famous sentences through the ages are all written by ancient predecessors. Chinese poetry culture is quite profound. Every time I linger in it, I am deeply impressed by it. The graceful words constitute a beautiful picture that I will never forget. But among the vast number of poems and essays, I like "Shuo Ai Lian" the most.
"The Theory of Love of Lotus" was written by Zhou Dunyi, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty. This ancient poem expresses Zhou Dunyi's noble character of not being interested in fame and fortune. When I read this ancient text, I was only six years old. I saw that he used lotus to describe himself, "It can come out of the mud but not stained, and it can be green without being evil." He also used peony to describe the world's pursuit of fame and fortune, following people's influence, and lamenting those things. Like a chrysanthemum, a hermit who escapes reality for the sake of purity. I couldn't help but feel a little curious: Wouldn't it be nice to look like a chrysanthemum? How beautiful would it be to find a paradise and spend your life leisurely and carefree? Peony is the king of flowers. Although it is a bit gaudy, you can still live a peaceful life! Why does the author prefer to love Lian? I had some doubts in my heart, but I was still young at the time, so I didn't have any lingering thoughts about it, and I gradually forgot about this little doubt.
This summer vacation, I encountered "The Theory of Love and Lotus" again. In order to solve my confusion at that time, I looked through ancient poetry collections to find the background of Zhou Dunyi's writing of this article. Finally, I found the image of this text in a book "Newly Compiled Ancient Poems for Middle School Students". It turned out that when Zhou Dunyi wrote this article, due to the corruption of the officialdom in the Northern Song Dynasty, corrupt officials abounded, and many people spent a lot of money to gain official positions. , and even worse, flattering in front of the boss. Some people who were upright but did not have a high status could not manage the corrupt people in the court, so they became hermits on the side of the mountain. Some upright people with strong personalities also tried to persuade the emperor. However, due to the situation at that time, "the emperor was not in a hurry, but the eunuchs were." The emperor was also greedy for pleasure and ignored government affairs, so these people had no choice but to withdraw from the political stage. Zhou Dunyi is one of them. After he resigned, he spent one day enjoying the lotus with his friend. He thought that the characteristics of the lotus were very similar to his own situation. He felt deeply in his heart, and with a stroke of his pen, he wrote the eternal song "On the Love of the Lotus".
After understanding the background, I read "The Theory of Love of Lotus" again, "It is straight in the middle and straight in the outside. It has no vines or branches. The fragrance is clear from a distance, and the pavilion is clean and planted. It can be viewed from a distance but not played with." "As I read, I couldn't help but think about it. I seemed to see Zhou Dunyi standing by the lotus pond, admiring the lotus. The lotus was in full bloom, and the white snow was as white as snow, as if fairies in white were falling from the sky. , quietly adding a delicate fragrance to the world; the red ones are like plum blossoms in the snow, blooming spontaneously in the hot summer... What a snow-white as fairy, fierce red as plum blossoms! Zhou Dunyi saw the lotus and praised the lotus in his heart, so he composed the quatrain "Love of the Lotus"...
I was so obsessed with thinking that I didn't notice that the sun had turned westward, and this classic poem accompanied me all the way. My walking has a subtle influence on my literary quality. I will encounter classic poetry again and take my writing level to a higher level!
