prose not rambling

This may be the best era of stylistic theory.

The consumption imagination implicit in the style, let people search according to this, or let the algorithm recommend according to this, and promote a more detailed classification system, prose, such as travel essay, food essay, novel, such as science fiction, detective novel, pure (literature) Novels, literary styles and their respective communities, with their voices, have become the target (IP) of gamification and film and television, which is an inevitable trend in the era of online consumption.

Consumption imagination implies the accumulation of aesthetics and turbulent works. When style becomes an aesthetic object, it is bound to be defined and evaluated. On the characteristics of writing that are most conducive to judging style, poetry can be branched, novels can tell stories, scripts can talk, and prose likes everything and can do everything, but there is no unique specialty, literary awards increase the anxiety of definition, prose is a permanent project, in addition to facilitating review There are few restrictions on the number of words. It can be like Yang Mu’s approach to poetry and Liu Zijie’s approach to novels. The flexibility of the technique has become the most frequently mentioned point of the judges, but it is not enough to define. Events, in terms of style, highlight the ambiguity of the definition and evaluation system of prose, and its ambiguous ethical needs. It can only be self-examined and cannot be written. In this way, is it reasonable for prose to become a genre? What's more, based on the number of articles, in the Huayi online journal system and Taiwan's doctoral and master thesis system, "Poetry" ranks first, "Fiction" is the second, "Drama" is the third, and "Prose" is the third. At the end, the number of articles is 15 times worse than that of "poems". Is prose not enough literature? Not enough to be a research subject?

According to Wei Yi, the term "prose" can be found earlier in Song "Helin Yulu", referring to non-rhyme works, the concept of "san", Keshuo and the ancient prose movement led by Han and Liu in the Tang Dynasty, are opposed to The "parallel" popular in the Southern and Northern Dynasties was used to advocate the tradition of scattered travel in the Pre-Qin and Han Dynasties. The New Literature Movement gave "San" a new meaning. The vernacular is not rhymed. Yu Dafu said that prose is equivalent to "the translation of the foreign word Prose", "It is somewhat similar to Essay, it is a genre other than novels and dramas...with a name Speaking of the characteristics, it is absolutely impossible to do.”

In the face of prose, most of them adopt the strategy of "outside", not enough poetry, not enough novels, not enough drama, not enough essays, that is, prose. This may be a contradiction brought about by history. Today, after the New Literature Movement, most of the writing is in vernacular non-rhyme, and modern poetry does not even need rhyme. Are all styles of writing prose? Huang Jinshu gave a beautiful view of this period of history. After the New Literature Movement, classical poetry was no longer the mainstream, and prose replaced it. The literary connotation of classical poetry, with the method of "revitalization", created "meaning beyond words", which was inherited from prose, which is the so-called "Chinese". "Lyric Tradition", Huang Geng attempted to expand the "Lyric Tradition", a consensus in Sinology, prose, not only "beautiful prose" headed by Zhou Zuoren, but also "powerful prose" headed by Lu Xun, which can "release anger and express feelings".

The core of the prose, starting from historical coincidence, interacts with Essays in the West, and in recent years, such as Tong Weige and Hu Shuwen's attempt to edit "Ashes of Soul", and Non-fictional (non-fictional writing), into The core of oral dictation, biographies and memoirs has become the author’s subjective consciousness. Zhou Fenling’s so-called “big self”, the author’s self in writing is different from the novel’s pursuit of narrative skills, and the poetry’s pursuit of branching (musical) and writing skills. Drama pursues the art of conflict, prose is not art, its definition is its core, it should not be defined in an "outside" way, the evaluation method of prose, appeal to the author's consciousness, and the application of prose features, such as In the prose collection "The Rain and the Flower", Zhou Fenling uses fictional techniques, branches of poetry, and various prose features "in between" to talk about the regrets of her life, and her reconciliation and non-reconciliation.

Good prose, as Zhou Fenling said, requires "a thousand tempering of personality", which is why Huang Jinshu pays so much attention to prose ethics (personality cannot be fabricated) in "On Trial Essays". The "scattering" of prose, starting from non-rhyme prose, to vernacular prose, to the "wen" (the core of prose) that completes the following by means of "between", is never loose, it is only those who write bad prose, often. He is an idolized essayist born in the age of consumption.
