Definition of literary review

Literary short reviews belong to literary criticism. Literary reviews refer to articles that analyze and evaluate various literary trends, literary schools, literary works, literary theories, etc. When high school students write literary criticism, they are generally only required to analyze and evaluate specific literary works and write a short literary review of more than 300 words.

Although this kind of literary review is short in length, it must also be an article with a complete structure, clear levels, clear viewpoints, fluent language, and short and concise articles. Literature reviews are also called appreciation essays.

Literary short review "Although a sparrow is small", it should have "all five internal organs". When writing, we should be guided by literary theory, based on the materials of the work, closely follow the work, and analyze the main content or main features of the original text in a targeted manner.

【Wonderful Study】

Read the following Song poem and write a short literary review of no less than 300 words.

Qingpingle Village Residence

Xin Qiji

The eaves are low and the grass is green on the stream. When I was drunk, Wu Yin was very charming, but whose old lady had white hair?

The eldest son is hoeing beans to the east of the stream, and the middle son is weaving a chicken coop. His favorite child is a scoundrel, lying at the head of the stream peeling off lotus pods.

Fragment 1: The thatched eaves of the thatched house are low and small, and the stream is covered with green grass. The drunken local dialect of Wu sounded gentle and beautiful. It was a pair of old people with white hair who were teasing each other.

The eldest son was weeding in the bean fields in Hedong, and the second son was busy weaving the chicken coops. The most joyful thing is the mischievous look of the child, lying in the grass at the head of the stream, peeling and eating the newly picked lotus pods.

Skill Insight: What do you think is the problem with this text?

[Clear] Restatement content - no comment. Only a simple translation of the original words and sentences, no opinions or comments.

Excerpt 2: Xin Qiji lived in the Southern Song Dynasty, when the country's mountains and rivers were broken and in turmoil. But the author hid in the countryside, mingling with the villagers and old men, forgetting the hatred between the country and the family, and relaxing his will to fight. Describing the beauty of natural scenery is also whitewashing peace.

Skill insights: Do you agree with this view? Why?

[Clear] Misinterpretation of the work - wrong review. In his later years, the author was rejected and attacked by the Lord Harmony sect, and he had no choice but to live in the countryside. This poem has a strong flavor of rural life, and the joy of living in the countryside is permeated between the lines. It objectively reflects the author's hatred of the dark officialdom. It can also be said that the peaceful, quiet, simple and comfortable life in the countryside inspired his patriotic enthusiasm to fight against the Jin soldiers, regain the Central Plains, and unify the motherland.

Excerpt 3: This poem describes the image of a family. The husband and wife are old and can no longer work. They can only drink some wine and talk. The eldest and middle children are very hardworking. One is hoeing beans and the other is weaving chicken coops. The younger son was still ignorant and was playing by the stream.

Technique insights: Reading it this way, this poem is bland and tasteless. What do you think is the reason for this "bland" taste?

[Clear] A brief comment from a dragonfly. Only grasp the surface impression and make superficial comments. If we understand it deeply, we can feel the wit in the words - "The sound of Wu is so charming when drunk", which reflects the harmony, warmth and comfort between elderly couples; "The most fond of children is scoundrels, lying at the head of the stream peeling lotus pods", It vividly depicts the child's carefree, innocent and lively demeanor. The word "lying" makes the whole word brilliant.

Learn to write short literary reviews PPT, part 2: Appreciation of examples and understanding of highlights

"Gently I leave, just as I came gently, I wave gently to bid farewell to the clouds in the western sky." After chanting three "gently" words in a row, the poet's fading figure appeared in my mind. Looking back affectionately is the instinct of nostalgia.

How much time spent with Kangqiao flashed between the fingers at the moment of gently waving my hand; how many days and nights of dreaming came into view at the moment when I looked back at the clouds. The poet departed in the clouds, quietly, coming and going, but never disturbed the quiet Cam River, and the Cam River was indeed silent because of the poet's departure. In other words, the poet and the Cam River are one, because only the poet's understanding and love of beauty can match the picturesque Cam River. Even if he has to travel far, he will have the most beautiful Cam Bridge in his memory to accompany his soul.

In the world of Kangqiao, the poet regards her as a "rare confidant" and "the source of life". On the banks of the Cam River, the poet is selfless. Otherwise, how could he have the courage to "willingly be a water plant"? Water plants are too simple and ordinary creatures!

It is far away from the sun, let alone the caress of the breeze, but so what? Because there is no better destination in the world than the soft waves of the Cam River, rooted in the soft mud at the bottom of the Cam River, listening to the singing of evening insects , look at the stars in the sky, smell the scent of wild flowers, and let the pure Cam River cleanse its mood forever. Be willing to forget human desires, be willing to throw yourself into the embrace of nature, and be willing to merge with the Cam River, even if it is a small, light and fluttering water plant.

Appreciation point 1: The target is focused, starting from the two keywords "gently" and "willingly", and pinpointing the poet's emotional point.

Appreciation point 2: There is no abstract and empty language, but mostly concrete analysis.

Appreciation point 3: Clear layers. The first paragraph comments on "gently", and the second paragraph appreciates "willingness".

Appreciation point 4: Point of view command materials.

【Simulation Practice】

Read the following short poem and write a short literary review of no less than 300 words.

Jiangnan smoke and rain

In this Jiangnan soaked by rain, / where are the peach blossoms and where are the willows? / The green leaves have all faded into smoke, / covering the faint red building in the distance.

Only swallows are like lost ink dots, shuttling back and forth in the drizzle, carrying wet spring on their wings, looking for a place for her to stay.

Oh, Swallow, don't chirp any more, / Spring has sown the fields with the rice, / You can't see the green color of the rice seedlings, / They have dyed the milky white cloud curtain through!

[Conceptual Guidance] Key points: ① The picture of the poem is beautiful, "light green" and "bright red" complement each other, and "emerald color" and "milky white" form a contrast and foil. ②Comparative techniques for evaluating poems.

[Example display]

Example 1: The poet is like a master of painting, his poetry pen is also a painting brush, and he paints freely. "Misty Rain in the South of the Yangtze River" is like a frame of clear watercolor, depicting the scenery of the early spring in the south of the Yangtze River, giving people a beautiful enjoyment.

The beauty of language is first of all the beauty of concreteness, and in the beauty of concreteness, the beauty of color is an important aspect. "The green leaves have faded into smoke, shrouding the faint red building in the distance." The picture at the beginning of the poem is composed of two tones, one is a large area of ​​light green, and the other is dotted bright red. The red and green contrast with each other. Chengqu is the so-called "a little red in the green bush". "Only the swallows are like lost ink spots, shuttled back and forth in the drizzle." On the light green and far red background, the black swallows are particularly eye-catching, and "You can't see the green color of the seedlings, which have turned the milky white "The cloud mantle is dyed through" is another color contrast and reflection between "emerald green" and "milky white", making the deserted scene of spring fields appear before the readers' eyes. The poet paid attention to the color beauty of language and used color adjectives in different positions in the poems, so that he could express the beauty of life in a colorful way and enrich the readers' feeling of beauty.
