Features: Writing is a sustainable activity. In terms of the entire training process, there is no need for instruction; it gradually progresses from simple and brief to complex and profound, which is continuous development. In terms of completing a piece of work, it can also be continuously refined. The classification and itemized learning of writing can be divided from multiple perspectives. This series of books classifies writing based on the form of expression training, including: imitation writing, continuation writing, expansion writing, rewriting, refinement writing, and skillful writing. Training is conducted accordingly. This is a new series of training approaches. The characteristics of this classification training lie in its ability to provide targeted guidance and exercises based on different needs at different stages of writing development. This series of books is essentially a guide for students to seek further improvement in the continuous development of their writing. These classified and itemized training sessions cannot be conducted in isolation, so they are integrated into the entire work; sometimes, they inevitably overlap during training or require a comprehensive application. According to the above, this series includes six parts: rewriting, continuation writing, imitation writing, refinement writing, expansion writing, and skillful writing, compiled into three volumes, with two parts per volume.
Volume 1:
- Upper Part: Rewriting
- Lower Part: Continuation Writing
Rewriting focuses on training the spirit of re-creation in writing, exploring various changes and adjustments in expression from multiple perspectives.
Continuation Writing discusses the extension and expansion of works, essentially aiming for deeper, more rigorous, comprehensive, and harmonious expression.
Volume 2:
- Upper Part: Expansion Writing
- Lower Part: Skillful Writing
Expansion Writing introduces expansive training in writing, emphasizing the need for innovation in thinking, emotions, and language based on the original text.
Skillful Writing elaborates on the key principles and methods for writing with flexibility, requiring writers to break free from the constraints of "formulaic" writing.
Volume 3:
- Upper Part: Imitation Writing
- Lower Part: Refinement Writing
Imitation Writing focuses on guiding the correct use of imitation techniques in writing and continuously exploring innovative paths during the imitation process.
Refinement Writing addresses issues such as verbosity, clutter, and redundancy in writing, seeking methods to achieve conciseness and refinement.
