Playing the pipa is the application of reverse thinking in writing and an important method of innovative application of composition materials. The so-called "reverse thinking" is also called "reverse thinking" or "reverse creative thinking". That is to say, when using materials, we should do the opposite, break through the mindset, cut in from the opposite angle of conventional understanding or even the angle that is easily overlooked or forgotten, show the plot and elaborate new ideas, so as to find new ways, create new realms, and receive the effect of turning decay into magic and giving people surprises.
First, turn affirmation into negation, or turn negation into affirmation.
Everything has two sides. Since positive writing is the mainstream and the choice of most students, we should not play cards according to the routine, start with the negative material, start with its negative side, explore and explore, break the shackles of habitual thinking and traditional concepts, and jump out of the old box of conformism and rut, so we can often win by surprise and write wonderful works.
For example, the writer Ma Ying wrote in an article published at the financial fair, "Is diligence a virtue?":
When I was five or six years old, I once went to my grandmother's house. I was surprised to see her cooking for us after dawn, so I asked, how do you eat during the day? Grandma also felt very strange and asked: You don't eat during the day, are you in the dark? I said: We eat two meals a day in the dark. Grandma cried when she heard this, and lamented, Look at this world! I confused the doll this morning. When she said, "I can't tell if I feel dizzy in the morning," she meant the state of our life at that time. My parents dug on the terrace or dam beam of the production team before dawn and didn't come back until midnight. We children can only eat one meal at four or five in the morning and another at midnight according to the routine of adults. After a long time, I thought it was strange to eat all meals at night and during the day.
Of course, as people often say, there is a reward for giving. My mother was rated as a model worker this year, and the captain came to my house with a certificate of commendation and said a lot of praise to the effect that your mother is the most hardworking woman in the village, and you should learn from her when you grow up. But strangely, my mother is not happy at all. As soon as the captain left, she hugged me and cried. After crying, she said, don't listen to his nonsense! How diligent! Why is he not diligent?
From then on, I know that there are two kinds of people in this world: one is hardworking and the other is not hardworking; And some people's efforts are not good for themselves. As an adult, I am alert to all preaching that people "work hard" and "work selflessly" and thank life. In my opinion, if a kind of labor can't reflect the value and dignity of workers, then it is only meaningful to leaders. On the premise of not hurting others, a person is willing to sacrifice his enjoyment to do a very necessary and valuable career, which is essentially different from a person who is driven by a stick to complete a job within his power to make a living.
Diligence is a virtue, which we have been vigorously promoting and popularizing. However, after reading this part, we can't feel the author's praise for the virtue of "diligence". Especially "Mother's Cry" makes us feel that the article is a criticism of "diligence" and an alternative view, that is, diligence that cannot "reflect the value and dignity of workers" is not only a virtue, but also a departure from human nature, novel and unique. The expressive effect of the work lies in the author's clever use of reverse thinking and pipa rebound to express the material in life, not from the perspective of others, but from the perspective of workers themselves, which is different from people's long-term hard work and fixed thinking mode, so the content it covers can be clearly presented, which will naturally produce unexpected effects.
Second, empathize and explore ideas from the opposite side of materials.
Everyone has a fixed idea. Faced with the same material, people are often influenced by traditional habits, knowledge and experience, forming a habitual or herd understanding of the material. Using empathy, starting from the results, sides or opposites of material things will suddenly make things that were common in the past strange and fresh, thus opening a completely different field of thinking and naturally bringing out new ideas.
For example, in view of the social phenomenon of road traffic jams, Yu Jian wrote in Southern Weekend that people are passing by, not cars:
When talking about traffic jams, the media only mentioned traffic jams, never mentioning that bicycle lanes and sidewalks were blocked by cars. Pay tribute to the high-end machine and make way for the distinguished motor. Pedestrians have the least dignity. They are often splashed with sewage, sucked in exhaust gas and swallowed crazy ash by cars. The speaker ordered them to get out of the way, as if they were just untouchables who swallowed their words and occupied the road for nothing. The narrowest road has the most people. Our rules are based on the convenience of cars, and pedestrian traffic is also based on the priority of cars. Public opinion always blames pedestrians when talking about traffic. Actually, the most overbearing thing on the road is the car. Isn't it?
If the traffic rules are not simply based on traffic lights for cars, but consider pedestrians, the elderly, the disabled, students, children, bicycles and electric cars, how can they pass? Their communication with the car is not a kind of communication, and their lights can't be solved by one lamp. If the traffic rules are just the rules of cars, thousands of pedestrians, old and young, will have to take advantage of the loopholes in the traffic rules for themselves and modify the traffic rules more humanely by using the loopholes ... I wonder why traffic lights are always ignored most of the time, which is probably not just the quality of ordinary people. Do people have human qualities? Traffic lights don't consider other people's qualities at all.
Here, when talking about how to control the social phenomenon of congestion, the author adopts the method of reverse thinking and playing the pipa, which breaks through the traditional views and understanding. Starting with setting traffic lights and road traffic rules, he analyzed and discussed this material from the perspective of pedestrians, swept away the viewpoint of criticizing the poor quality of pedestrians, and explained that setting traffic lights should consider "people" rather than "cars". His novel and unique views will naturally attract readers' attention and appreciation.
It should be noted that "Playing the Pipa" is not played casually, nor can anything or opinions bounce back to seek differences. The use of this technique must be reasonable, master the sense of proportion, stand up to scrutiny, and take the premise of not violating public order and good customs. Such a rebound will make the composition fresh.
Fanwenyin road
Rich people only borrow one dollar.
A Jew walks into a bank in new york.
"Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you?" The loan manager asked, looking at the newcomer in a suit and tie.
"I want to borrow some money."
"Ok, how much do you want to borrow?"
"A dollar."
"A dollar? Just borrow a dollar? " The loan manager looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, I just need to borrow a dollar. Is that okay? "
"Oh, of course, as long as there is a guarantee, you can borrow as much as you want." The manager shrugged and said politely.
"all right." The Jews then took out a stack of stocks and bonds from the luxurious leather bag and put them on the manager's desk. "Can these bills be used as security?"
"Of course, of course!" The manager counted it and said, "Sir, the total amount is * * * 500,000 dollars, and the deposit is enough. But ... sir, do you really only borrow one dollar? " The manager looked at the weirdo in front of him doubtfully.
