Features: Utilizes the humor method, which can be used to write about people, narrate events, depict scenes, and describe objects; it can also be used to express opinions, convey emotions, or create stories, including fables, fairy tales, fantasy stories, and "newly" stories. In recent years, primary and secondary school students have also used the genre-borrowing method to write humorous essays. The genre forms they borrow include letters, diaries, plays, news, application essays, and expository essays. However, these essays are not genuine letters or diaries but rather borrow these forms to highlight their respective characteristics, known as letter-style, diary-style, play-style, news-style, and innovative application essays. Due to the dissonance between content and form, or even absurdity, these essays exhibit humor, such as A Letter to Confucius, Jin Yong's Martial Arts Heroes Advertisement, and Tao Yuanming's Online Life Diary.
This book differs from any other humorous writing book on the market. It summarizes some linguistic patterns and genre rules of the humor method. It introduces the genre characteristics of humorous literature such as absurd stories, satirical sketches, humorous stories, essays, and devil literature, and summarizes a series of clever techniques. For example: dissonance, absurdity, surprise, satire, exaggeration, metaphor, puns, parody, irony, adaptation, and genre borrowing—techniques that generate humor, allowing us to truly understand the secrets of creating humor and making our language instantly more entertaining.
