Read the file

I'm on the line to read the file. When there is a meeting in the unit, I try to read documents. Because I don't have enough concentration, I can't sit still and sometimes I'm sleepy. I take everything I want to win over, whether it's important or not, I take it very seriously, no matter how long and boring the text is, I don't drink water in the middle, I don't clear my throat, and I don't miss my words. It is said that the method of learning documents in the workplace has been preserved from the war years to the present day, and it is a contemporary tradition. At that time, there were not too many literate officers and soldiers in the army, and the superiors sent down important documents, and asked people who had read the books to read them, and the general meaning would be clear, and then one or two discussions were organized to memorize the main points of the documents. Habits are formed, and that's a good point.

Documents are official documents and are meant to be seen by the public. Private reading is called letters, and when a person writes a letter, he can write it however he wants, and he can also draw ghost characters. As long as the person who reads the letter is willing to read and can understand it. Kumon is about rules, but this rule is broken, not inherited, not inherited. Once the son of heaven and a courtier, a dynasty has a dynasty's official document writing, and even in a dynasty, because the emperor has changed, the writing style of official documents is quite different. Kumon is not a trivial matter, in an era, how the people live is the foundation of the people's customs. What kind of official documents are written is the "birthplace" of the style of writing. In fashionable terms, folk customs are popular culture, and literary style is elegant culture. The folk style and the literary style are combined, when it is fresh, it is called the atmosphere of the times, and after a hundred years, it is called the brand of the times.

Looking at the literary style of a dynasty, whether it is simple or exaggerated, look at the chapters, holy decrees, laws, lawsuits, and the words of the historians at that time, you can basically see the outline. The most remarkable "award speech" to praise a writer is to say that he is "ahead of the trend" or "the style of writing of a generation", which means that he is not quite consistent with the style of writing of this era.

The earliest official document is the oracle bone inscription, and it is also the most concise official document with the most concise penmanship, which is the real "complex and simple", the concise, the highly condensed text is forced to do so, because it is engraved on the back of the turtle and the bones of the beast, and is limited by the "hardware". At that time, "divination" was also a kind of official document, and the sorcerer was the spiritual leader and the court official. Divination is profound and difficult to understand, it is a book from heaven, and the monarch cannot read it. The layer of fog on the head of the "divination" is the job bowl of the wizard, and if everyone sees through it at a glance, the wizard will have nothing to eat.

The style of writing in the Qin Dynasty was mixed, which can also be called a diversity of styles, the kind of unformed and amorphous, which stemmed from the fact that the most important work of the culture of that period was the unification of the script. The literary style of the Han Dynasty is remarkable, Confucian, and simple and atmospheric. "At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the anti-Qin Dynasty rested with the people, everything was simple, and it was forbidden to be sparse. "The Records of the Historians and the Book of Han are representatives of the literary style of the Han Dynasty, and they are both God-given masterpieces. Needless to say, the first paragraph of the first chapter of the opening volume of the "Book of Han" is a little bit "romantic": "Gaozu, a native of Zhongyangli, Peifengyi, surnamed Liu. When the mother tasted Daze, she dreamed of meeting God. When the thunder and lightning are obscure, the father and the princess look at it, and see the dragon on it. has already had a pregnancy, and then gave birth to a high ancestor. "It's really not good to be dissatisfied with the old man Bangu, it's really extraordinary. wrote about Liu Bang's mother's affair and divine intercourse, which his father saw with his own eyes. The real Spring and Autumn penmanship, the evidence is "conclusive", who dares not to believe it, please ask Gaozu's father.

The Wei and Jin dynasties emphasized literary brilliance, emphasizing form and craftsmanship, and most of the official documents were "talented and emotional". In the Tang Dynasty, "the decline of the eight generations of literature", advocating the simple beauty of ancient literature, and removing the beauty of the Wei and Jin dynasties, "the literary style should not hurt the narrative". The Yuan Dynasty attached great importance to sacrifices, and many of these kinds of texts remained, and they were open and expressive to read. What the leader attaches importance to will prevail in a period. In the Yuan Dynasty, the "song" was prosperous, and the song was high but the harmony was not lacking. The national characteristics of the Yuan Dynasty were to fight the world, not to rule the world, and to have a romantic spiritual temperament. Thinking back to the great khans at all levels, they opened up their territories and were majestic. Soldiers should also have an amateur life, Mongolian people are experts in singing and dancing, military friendship, and the foundation of "song" is solid.

The Qing Dynasty made many cultural contributions, the inferior contribution was the literary prison, and the good contributions were the Kangxi Dictionary and the Siku Quanshu. The dynasty that made a good dictionary was the Great Dynasty. "Kangxi Dictionary" was compiled in 1710 and completed in 1716, with 47,035 Chinese characters, and the hosts were Zhang Yushu and Chen Tingjing. "Siku Quanshu" from the 38th year of Qianlong (1773) in February formal editing, lasted 20 years, 1793 finished, is the largest "cultural project" in Chinese history, more than 3,500 kinds of books, more than 79,000 volumes, nearly 1 billion words, by Ji Xiaolan, Lu Xixiong, Sun Shiyi as the chief compiler. "Kangxi Dictionary" and "Siku Quanshu" are a collection of two large warehouses, one is the font library, the other is the library, and it is still the pride of culture. Both the Yuan and Qing dynasties were dominated by ethnic minorities, with the Mongols ruling the Yuan Dynasty and the Manchus and Mongols jointly governing the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty existed for a long time, and the high emphasis on culture may be one of the reasons. More than 10 years ago, I had a rare opportunity to "take the opportunity" to look through the files of the Qing Dynasty marriage criminal case for a month. From a modern point of view, some conclusions are too conservative and contrary to natural principles, and some are even very funny. However, the writing is rigorous, the narrative of the case is simple and clear, and a case can be explained clearly in a few hundred words. Our official documents today are really embarrassed to compliment, and clichés, empty words, and empty words are all the rage. I once read aloud a document on "planting trees", the core of which talks about why to plant trees, the meaning of tree planting, environmental protection, as well as the cultivation of human sentiments, the growth of young people, and the implementation of the spirit. But there is not a single word to plant a tree alive.

The modern translation of ancient Chinese is also a style that is too bad today. We also do this kind of thing, and Taiwan also does it, but we do too few of them rigorously. A few words in an ancient sentence are "translated" into dozens of words. If the "Siku Quanshu" is to be translated like this, we will really enter the era of "knowledge explosion".

Looking at the newspapers and documents of the "**" period now, the intuition is ridiculous. It is sad for a person to live to the point of being ridiculous, and if the style of writing in a period is ridiculous, it is even more sad. I don't know how future generations will evaluate our official documents during this period in another hundred years.
