Is it only traditional literature that is the right way, and online literature says rouge gouache is shoddy?

This question is far-fetched. The questioner must think that traditional literature is the right way, and online literature is an embroidered pillow. To tell the truth, I am a fan of traditional literature, so far I have never read a complete online novel, short story or prose. Generally speaking, traditional literature has been edited by many people. Although I am pursuing efficiency now, good articles can still attract people. In order to improve the popularity and attract people's attention (rather than attracting people), online novels often do something contrary to common sense, engage in some fancy things, which are almost the same, so that the platform will be on, so most online novels are shoddy, and there are some fine works, but few, which lowers the overall image.

You can't generalize, let alone ask questions in general.

Readers are good literature.

There is no difference between traditional literature and online literature. It can't be said that Maotai is good wine and beer is rubbish. After a few years, some fine works of online literature may change from popular to classic.

Song Ci, for example, has long been a classic of traditional literature. At first, it was despised by literati and called "poetry" and "Tao", which was unsightly. Liu Yong, a professional lyricist, was looked down upon in those days. What's the future of writing lyrics for singers? But people can't bear to like it! "Where there is a well, there is Liu Ci", which shows the popularity of Liu Yong Ci. Now, Liu Yong is a professional composer of pop songs, much better than Lin and Fang Gang. The "pop songs" of that year have already become classic literature. Therefore, we should look at literature from a developmental perspective.

In elementary school in the 1980s, I borrowed Jin Yong's Legend of the Condor Heroes from my classmates. It was like doing underground work at that time, sneaking around. In order to read a novel, I even ran to the toilet with a book. Because in the eyes of teachers and parents, Jin Yong's works are idle books, even bad books, and he feels guilty when reading them.

Now you are reading, Jin Yong's books are juxtaposed with traditional literature such as Ordinary World and Don Quixote, and become recommended reading materials for middle school students. Nowadays, children no longer have to worry about watching the legend of the condor hero being beaten by their parents.

As a new literary form, online literature will inevitably go through a period of disorderly development and barbaric growth. There must be a lot of shoddy work. But not all works are weeds, and there may be small flowers in the middle. Moreover, with the increase of the number of creators and the improvement of people's reading taste, those mindless cool articles will be gradually eliminated, and high-quality online literary works will increase day by day. Maybe many years later, just Song Like's ci and Jin Yong's martial arts, the fine online text will become the traditional literature now.

Is it only traditional literature that is the right way, and online literature says rouge gouache is shoddy? I must consider how to answer your question. ...

We put aside the classification of traditional literature, serious literature, popular literature, network literature and so on, and all of them are collectively called "literature". So how to evaluate a literary work, whether it is good or bad, high or low, high or rough? Can you judge a tall one? Of course, just like any high-end and branded mobile phone, there must be some people who are not convinced at first. Why can't domestic cottage phones work? Many people have used fake mobile phones for several years. I've never seen a fake mobile phone disconnected all the time. So why is it that the cottage mobile phone must be worse than the brand mobile phone? Why do mobile phones have to be divided into high-end and low-end There are more than 5,000 millet phones and 2,000 to 3,000 red rice phones. Look at the configuration, such as Redmi K50 9000, 2K screen, 120W fast charge. These hardware configurations should not be worse than Xiaomi's flagship mobile phone, so Redmi K50 can only be sold for about 3,000 yuan.

When we evaluate anything and any product, we have a "universally applicable" criterion, which is recognized by most people, and that is quality-

The quality of a mobile phone is judged by fluency, speed, performance, etc., as well as the degree of complete functions, the beauty and ugliness of appearance, the sense of grip in hand, the overall delicacy, and the length of time to maintain this overall quality. For example, some mobile phones are easy to get stuck in less than one year, some mobile phones will not feel stuck in two or three years, some mobile phones will feel old-fashioned after one year, and sometimes they will look good after several years.

So what does the quality of literary works include? There is no classification, no hierarchy, no matter what tradition or modernism, no matter what serious literature or popular literature, I personally think that the following points can be used to judge the quality of a literary work:

1, the wonderful degree of the story, including the wonderful degree of the main story, the wonderful degree of the specific plot, the wonderful degree of the branch plot, and the completeness and wonderful feeling of the whole story content of the book.

2. The overall level of characters, including the shaping of main characters, non-main characters and minor characters, and the reasonable distribution of "walk-on" characters. The so-called characterization includes whether the details of the character's behavior are delicate enough, whether the character is outstanding, whether the mood is full, whether the words and deeds are reasonable, and more importantly, how much the characterization contributes to the plot's advancement, turning point and ups and downs. The number of wonderful characters can also reflect a writer's ability to control novels. The reason why A Dream of Red Mansions and War and Peace are known as the century-old classics is directly related to the large number of characters they created. If there are not many wonderful characters in A Dream of Red Mansions, the overall charm of A Dream of Red Mansions will be greatly reduced, especially war and peace. I have always appreciated the four classical novels "Water Margin", mainly because it created a number of wonderful characters, not just a few, such as Lin Chong, Song Jiang, Song Wu, Lu, Shi Jin, Ruan Shixiong, Yang Zhi, Gu Dasao from the vegetable garden, Li Kui jy, Yan Qing, Lu Junyi and so on. Almost all of them are wonderful, all have distinct three-dimensional personalities, and all have independent "biographies".

3. Ideological understanding of the connotation of emotion.

Why are Jin Yong's martial arts novels considered by most people to be higher than today's online texts? In addition to being better at stories and characterization, Jin Yong also has a clever approach, which is to incorporate some "specious" historical content into his novels. Reading Jin Yong's martial arts novels, even I occasionally get a little misunderstanding, and I will question that some of the plots involving history are wrong. History books are not written like this, but in fact, you don't have to question the authenticity of their historical content, because it is meaningless. Jin Yong only used historical content as seasoning, and it doesn't matter whether it is true or false, because they are novels, not history books, but their "seasoning" flavor gives readers a lot of aftertaste, such as the regret over Qiao Feng's non-Han problem, the relationship between Genghis Khan and Guo Jing, and the relationship with the Central Plains, and so on. Readers will inevitably associate it with how to write history books. This is a ...

Good and evil issues, emotional love issues, an excellent novel writer will inevitably integrate these issues in his novels, and the level depends on how much you integrate? The depth of integration? How these words are perfectly integrated with other words presents a global balance and charm. The beginning and process of Jin Yong's lovers Huang Rong and Guo Jing, and their promotion of the whole story, can be said that Jin Yong has mastered a certain level of traditional realistic writing, which makes his martial arts novels generally have low taste. However, you will always feel that this kind of emotional relationship is abnormal and not extreme. And finally, Jin Yong made the relationship between Huang Rong and Guo Jing uncontrollable to the traditional relationship of "opposing the woman" in China.

4. Fine and full details.

Some people say that the art of fiction is the art of detail. Novels are made up of details. No matter how the plot is interpreted, how the emotions are rendered, how the characters are shaped and so on. It depends on the presentation of paragraph details. Without details, there is no novel writing. If the above three criteria for judging the quality of novels belong to "retreat", then the details belong to "pragmatism". After all, a novel is made up of countless details.

At present, there are millions and tens of millions of long online articles, but why haven't they been highly praised? Many people are criticizing the Internet for being too watery. What do you mean? For example, the description of the same character, a high-level writer used nearly a hundred words, while someone used nearly a thousand words, but after reading it, readers may still think that the description of the character written by that writer is more delicate, but the description of nearly a thousand words does not give people a delicate feeling at all, but it feels very rough. This is the standard, details can't rely on piling up words, otherwise pupils can write novels:

How to make your detailed words accurate and just right, every word can be "used on the blade", and at the same time, the combined sentences and fragments can be meaningful and lasting appeal, which does not mean that they must be "picturesque". Many novels don't need to describe details like poems, but they should be accurate, concise, meaningful and lasting appeal. At the same time, how to make a detailed text appear substantial is also one of the important indicators of the quality of detailed text. I used the opening words of Jin Yong's Legend of the Condor Heroes, Mo Yan's big breasts and fat buttocks, and Lu Yao's Ordinary World to illustrate the problem. I won't extract it here, but I'm interested in watching it online. Savor these words carefully. If you have a certain ability to appreciate novels, you will distinguish between high and low and style, especially the criterion of "exquisite and full details" Then go and find the opening words of one of the most famous online articles to read and compare.

I'm talking about writing novels, not stories. We often regard online novels as novels. The subject is obviously angry that many people always belittle online novels, so he asks this question again: Is it true that only traditional literature is the right way, and online literature is called rouge gouache, which is shoddy?

First of all, you shouldn't call other literary works outside the Internet "traditional literature". You must first define the word "tradition". The classification of contemporary literature, including literature within the system, literature outside the system, popular literature and serious literature, should not be called traditional literature. Tradition is relative to "current", otherwise it will lose the significance of dividing tradition. Secondly, the writing style of realism can be divided into traditional and contemporary, because the mainstream realistic novels in contemporary China, especially those after 1980s, are very different from Tolstoy's and Balzac's novels, including the so-called postmodern novels, in fact, many of them are written in the way of contemporary realism. At least I don't see any innovation in the writing techniques of online literature. Basically, they are written in a realistic way, and basically describe the characters on the basis of the content of the story, which is the so-called three elements of time and place of the characters.

If you completely ignore the classification and writing style, then the only criterion for judging a literary work is the quality, and the quality of the novel is ultimately limited to the above four points: If you are interested in judging, you might as well read Mo Yan's Breasts and Buttocks, Lu Yao's Ordinary World, and Jin Yong's The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and then find an online article with the highest writing level and read it again:

Personally, if I divide it, Breasts and Buttocks can only be considered as first-class, Ordinary World can only be considered as second-class, Legend of the Condor Heroes can only be considered as third-class or fourth-class at most, and any online text can only be considered as a product between seven and eight.

If classified according to nine grades, most serious literary novels can be classified into three grades, and the best novels of famous martial arts novels such as Jin Yong, Gu Long and Liang Yusheng can be classified between four and six grades, while all net texts can only be classified into seven grades or below.

Don't say that the right path is not the right path. Today's literature does not exclude popular literature, popular literature and genre literature for a long time, and there are hundreds of millions of online readers. Personally, I appreciate that the form of online text will appear in China. I am writing novels in my spare time now, and I will send them to a literary website after I finish writing them. I will also become a member of the net family, maybe a street fighter or a successful person. At my age, I don't care anymore. It's mainly my hobby, so I can take it as my goal to enrich my life, although my daily life is full enough, haha! After all, China's new era is only thirty or forty years, especially when it has completely followed the world trend and even integrated into the mainstream society of the world. Many new things have a shorter history, and the history of online writing is only 20 years, and the time for great development is even shorter. Therefore, for the time being, there are still a large number of people with shallow writing skills entering. Many net writers are not really interested in literature, and their net writing level is definitely not high. There are also many net writers who are interested in literature, but they are mainly interested in stories in literature, such as Tang Jiasan Shao, so their writing level is not high. However, in a few years or longer, there may be more real lovers of literary writing, even professional writers. By then, the overall level of online works will be close to or even equal to mainstream literature, which should be expected.

Therefore, there is no need to be angry and resentful for someone who belittles the net. If you are interested in writing online articles, and if you are really dissatisfied with some people's belittling online articles, let's start writing online articles with higher quality.
