Taorui: Do you want to listen to Chinese or English?
Jianwu: Both Chinese and English are OK, the more you have, the better.
Xixi: The modern Chinese dictionary explains: "Articles are used to express, expound truths or ideas."

Things: If you pick up sesame seeds, don’t throw watermelons, you can combine Chinese and Western cultures with each other. Learn more and feel much more comfortable.
Wenwen: Can we subdivide and subdivide so that we can see more clearly?
Zhengyu: How to subdivide the method, let’s talk about it?
Wenwen: The first realm of an article is shared with spiritual people; the second realm of an article is to correct the origin of thoughts and principles; the third realm of an article is to express praise or satirical; the fourth realm of an article is to express expressions and minds to relieve the psychology; finally, it is to entertain oneself, or to entertain the public.
Xuanxuan: It’s fine, I really envy you.
Taorui: The advantage of sharing with spiritual people is that it is obvious, but the surface is a bit narrow and can be more extensive.
Dongdong: The world is not peaceful, people's hearts are often impetuous, and it is necessary to influence them. In mild cases, cure diseases and save people, and in severe cases, scrape bones to heal injuries.
Xuanxuan: To cure diseases and save people, we must rely on the rule of law and medicine. Literature mainly plays the role of spring breeze and rain.
Zhengyu: I agree with your opinion. I take advantage of the situation and tend to be more beautiful. Some people praise good people and good things, while others catch bad people and bad things.
Xixi: When encountering troubles, articles can relieve worries. If you drink to drown your sorrows, you will be even more worried, and you will relieve your mental and literary worries.
Wenwen: Literature is a psychology master, with the effect of eliminating floating and abstaining from impetuousness. Psychological counseling is better than Du Kang, which is my experience.
Zhengyu: It is indispensable to entertain the public, relax when it is time to relax; it is also feasible to entertain yourself, and work and study more spiritually.
Jianwu: Your analysis makes sense. Writing a good article is a big deal. There are really many effects, so it is necessary to learn it well.
Taorui: The writing is about carrying the paths and moving deeply, but it is not enough to be seen easily. The spring breeze turns into rain and seedlings are strong, which inspires people to advance and promote development.
