| Abstract |
The organization of writing is the way to present the logic structure of a literary work. Such a structure corresponds to the “binary confrontation” between masculine (Yang) and feminine (Yin) attributes of the universe that contributes to a detailed, complicated, and varied logic system. It also reflects the process of creation and gestation of all things on earth. Based on the binary relation, all things bear Yin and embrace Yang. Accordingly, the organization of writing, when refers to natural rules, will form a conceiving logic structure that brings out a sense of beauty characterized by gradation, implication, unity and harmony. This article explores two basic structures of the organization of writing from related theories; namely, “the generic/the specific” and “foreground/background”, and concludes four primary types of conceiving structure in literary works: Yang conceiving Yang; Yang conceiving Yin, Yin conceiving Yin and Yin conceiving Yang. The author also demonstrates the subtleness of conceiving structure by exemplifying from Su & Xin’s Lyrics to explain their esthetic concepts.
