My house collapsed from the top, and the system just came?

Yilin Forum.

Because of the holding of the "Chinese Prose Contest" and the publicity and promotion of Douyin and other platforms.

In the past few days, the number of active IP addresses on the forum has exceeded one million every day.

Especially today, because many collaborators have published their entries one after another, it has attracted waves of netizens to come and worship.

now.

On the forum, netizens are still enthusiastic.

Some netizens have deep literary knowledge, so they act as commentators and comment on the prose of some well-known writers, so that other netizens can better understand the articles.

"Knowing the clouds and knowing the rain" is such a person.

He was commenting on the famous writer "Tang Zhili"'s prose "Proud Plum Blossoms": "Facing the heavy snow, blooming wantonly in the cold winter... To be honest, I have read many essays praising plum blossoms. But none of them are like Teacher Tang's. The writing is beautiful and the meaning is profound. A small plum blossom becomes lifelike in his writing, making us seem to see the pride of the plum blossom and smell the fragrance it still sends out in the ice and snow. Such prose is indeed enjoyable to read. A cleansing for the soul.”

On the floor, there was a chorus of praise.

"After reading your review and then reading the article, it is indeed a new feeling."

“The reviews are really good.”

"Brother, are you a Chinese teacher?"

"..."

Then someone asked: "Brother, why do you only comment on the prose of authors and not the articles of Internet writers?"

In a rental house.

A young man in his thirties was sitting in front of the computer, looking at the questions from netizens.

Judging from the name of the account logged in on the computer, this young man is "Knowing the clouds and knowing the rain."

When I saw someone asking why I didn’t comment on online writers.

Zhiyun Zhiyu's eyes showed a hint of ridicule, and he said to himself: "Internet writers? You don't even know what level these Internet writers are? Except for a few writers who came from a certain point, literature Apart from having pretty good skills. Not to mention writing good prose, 99% of the other Internet writers are not even sure about the structure of the prose, and there are even a lot of sentences that don’t make sense. How should I comment on this kind of article? Comment on them, It’s a complete waste of youth.”

Originally, when the "Chinese Prose Contest" just started, he had great expectations for online writers.

Do you think that the Internet is so big that there will always be one or two great writers?

However.

The reality was that he was extremely disappointed.

The level of these online writers was almost beyond his imagination!

In his opinion, the writing skills of many so-called Internet writers are not as good as those of primary school students. I really don’t know what confidence the other party has to call himself an online writer.

Just when he wanted to reply to netizens, saying that he would not comment on online writers.

Suddenly several posts popped up.

"Damn it, Xilou has uploaded his work."

"He is the most talented person in Douyin."

"Go and see what prose he wrote."

"..."

Seeing these posts, Zhiyun Zhiyu let out a sigh.

West Building?

How could he not know this name if he was always on the Internet?

The two "Poems to Encourage Learning" written by Xilou are now the motto of many parents. As for the two poems "Happy Meeting", they are regarded as classics by many poetry lovers.

However, can such a poetry master write prose well?

Be skeptical.

Zhiyun Zhiyu also clicked on Xilou’s works along with netizens.

""Praise to Baiyang?"?"

When he saw the title of the essay, the image of a poplar tree subconsciously appeared in his mind.

As a veteran who often comments on prose, Zhiyun Zhiyu does not mean to underestimate Bai Yangshu. He knows that what some writers like to do most is to suppress first and then promote.

So, although the title and the beginning seem cheesy.

But Zhiyun Zhiyu still watched patiently.

After seeing the second paragraph and admiring a long paragraph about the northwest scenery, he finally showed a happy expression and nodded secretly: "Although the plants chosen are a bit cliché and the overall text is a bit bland, my literary skills are indeed good. It surpasses other online writers who are just trying to gain fame."

Many people think that prose must be presented in beautiful words.

But in fact, truly top-notch prose can show delicate emotions and philosophy through simple and unpretentious words. Rather than just a pile of rhetoric.

Now.

This piece of "Praise to White Poplar" gives Zhiyun Zhiyu a simple yet extraordinary feeling.

Read on.

The appreciation in Zhiyun Zhiyu's eyes gradually turned into surprise.

He thought of a way Xilou would use to praise the poplar trees.

The following words indeed use symbolic techniques to praise the hardworking people and the great heroes who protect their homes and country through the artistic image of poplar trees.

But what he didn't expect was that even though he was praising poplar trees, Xilou's writing was still extremely simple.

Beautiful writing? No!

High praise? No!

An exaggerated description? No!

There was only a direct description of the poplar tree, but it was this instant kill that gave Zhiyun Zhiyu a feeling of majesty, uprightness and perseverance.

"This way of writing..."

"Such a simple portrayal..."

"This kind of symbolism..."

Zhiyun Zhiyu was increasingly touched.

"Let those who look down on the people, despise the people, and stubbornly regress, praise the aristocratic nanmu (which also has straight and straight trunks) and despise the poplar which is very common and easy to grow, but I want to speak loudly Praise the poplar trees!”

After reading the last sentence of the essay.

His heart was already pounding.

"This prose!"

Zhiyun Zhiyu swallowed subconsciously.

He was wrong.

How wrong.

Who says online writers can’t write prose?

Who says that people who are proficient in poetry cannot be proficient in prose?

That's just your imagination.

It turns out that there are really geniuses who know everything.

I read "Praise to Topol" again seriously.

When he watched it for the second time, he found that his heart was touched even more than the first time.

The excitement, unyieldingness, and aspirational emotions revealed in the plain words almost filled his heart.

before this.

Zhiyun Zhiyu has always felt that prose must be beautiful to reflect its quality.

But it wasn't until this moment that he realized that simple and unpretentious words could touch his soul so much.

Swallowed.

Zhiyun Zhiyu returned his attention to the works of several authors and authors that he had just reviewed.

"Proud Plum Blossoms", "Rose Flowers in the Square", "Thin-leaf Cold Orchid"...

Half an hour ago he had thought of beautiful prose.

Now that I think about it, I don't know why it feels a bit more greasy.

The accumulation of rhetoric and the seemingly beautiful but bloated descriptions all made him feel stuck in his throat.

After a while.

Zhiyun Zhiyu gritted his teeth and deleted all the reviews he had carefully written before.

Take a deep breath.

He wrote a brief review under "Praise to Topol": "After reading this prose, I became confused for a moment and didn't even know how to comment on it. All I know is: after reading "Praise to Topol" , I deleted all other essay appreciations because my comments suddenly became so glaring.”

After finishing writing.

Click to send.

Just after the transmission was successful, Zhiyun Zhiyu's eyes suddenly widened.

Because just for a short while, the number of votes for "Praise to the White Poplar" actually exceeded a thousand votes.

The number of floors netizens are talking about has reached more than 200 floors.

How long has it been!

Zhiyun Zhiyu felt his throat was dry, but he soon remembered that he hadn't voted yet.

Because in order to limit vote brushing, Yilin Forum limits each account and IP to only one vote.

That's why he didn't vote. He planned to wait until everyone uploaded their works before he cast his precious vote for his favorite work.

But now, it seems there is no need to think about it.

Zhiyun Zhiyu voted for "Praise to Poplar" without hesitation.

After voting, the page refreshes automatically.

Then... Zhiyun Zhiyu was stunned again. In less than a minute, he found that the votes for "Praise to the White Poplar" had reached more than 1,200.

It seems that not only him, but also many people have resonated with "Praise to Poplar".

Zhiyun Zhiyu glanced at the floor comments.

Sure enough, netizens started a heated discussion.

"After reading "Praise to Poplars", I realized that ordinary poplar trees can reach such a height."

"Wow, as expected of my favorite Xilou, he has written prose that is completely different from other writers."

"I can't believe that a piece of prose can actually make my blood boil."

"I have read no less than a hundred essays in the past few days, but after reading other essays, I gained almost nothing. Only after reading "Praise to the Poplar", I already have a tall and tough poplar tree in my mind , lingering.”

"To be honest, with so many proses, I can only understand this "Praise to Poplar" by Xilou. Because the text is simple, I can understand it. On the contrary, I can understand the proses of famous writers you mentioned. In the fog."

"Hahaha, I feel the same way. When I read the works of those writers, I feel that they are superior. Only when I read Xilou's prose can I feel a sense of intimacy."

"When I read other prose works, I appreciate it, but when I read "Praise to Topol", I feel passionate and moved."

"..."

After all, the average knowledge level of netizens is limited, so they cannot tell how excellent Xilou's works are.

But their feelings are the most intuitive.

So they said "Praise to Poplar" looks the most comfortable, the most empathetic, the most touching, the easiest to understand, and the most relevant to the general public...

From these words, we can see many clues.

After brushing for a while.

Zhiyun Zhiyu suddenly frowned: "No! There seems to be something wrong with the number of votes?"
