Text Chapter 20 The Momentum of the Text and the Shifting Text
The world sees lightning and knows that thunder is coming, and the battle requires an exciting call. Common sense is accompanied by thunder and thunder; What kind of teacher orders in the world will be what kind of morale and majesty. The so-called famous division aims to be the first to overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum, which is a long-standing magic weapon for winning wars in the world.
In ancient times, all the people of the Yu clan were soldiers, and they were united in their hearts and hated the same enemy. The Xia Hou clan had strict military discipline and unity of will within the troops. When Yin Shang went on the expedition, he only took an oath outside the military gate, while Ji Zhou's campaign was changed to an oath before the battle. It can be seen from this that during the period of the Five Emperors and Three Kings, all the agitation and call for war with soldiers was still an internal matter for themselves, and they were not aimed at foreign opponents. When King Mu of Zhou was planning how to conquer the western dog Rong, his subordinate priest Shi Gong Mou Father suggested that in ancient times, there was a strategy of saluting first and then soldiering, that is, to list the enemy's crimes clearly, inform the other party, and then carry out the conquest. This kind of challenge to inform the other party of the guilt is the earliest document. In the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the princes ignored the authority of the dynasty and began to fight frequently, but they were afraid of each other's constraints, so they were keen to become famous. As a result, the texts were flooded everywhere, trying their best to expose the mediocrity and decay of others on the one hand, and on the other hand, they tried their best to whitewash sophistry for their own martial arts. For example, in the 13th year of Zhao Gong, it is recorded that Liu Xiangong, the secretary of King Jing of Zhou (Ji Gui BC?-520 25 years of the reign of King Ling of Zhou), said, "Tell him to be a martial artist." That's what it means. Therefore, before the Duke of Qi Huan conquered the Chu State, Guan Zhong put forward the reason that the Chu State did not pay tribute to the dynasty on time; When the Duke of Jin Li was crusading against the Qin State, LΓΌ Xiang reproached the Qin State in advance for burning the Ji and Gao of the Jin State. Like these two documents, which provoked the princes' conquest, this is the role and significance of the current documents. In the Warring States Period, the easy-to-understand genre, style, or format of "ζͺζ" was produced.
What is it? The original meaning of "ζͺ" is derived from the word "η¦", that is, white and bright; That is, in the broad daylight, it is obvious. For example, Zhang Yi's "Telling Chu Xiang for the Text" is said to have been written on a one-foot-two-inch-long slip and displayed to the public. Because of this style, the inscription at this time was also called "Lubu", and its purpose was to expand its influence. Therefore, if a war is fought with soldiers, although it is to settle disputes or stabilize the world, it should not be arbitrary and arbitrary. According to this reason, even if the Son of Heaven is personally on the expedition, it will be called "Gong Xing Tian Punishment" (the will to carry out the heavenly punishment). When the princes sent troops, they declared that "Su will punish the king" (eradicate rebellion for the king of heaven). When the ancient generals went out on the expedition, the Son of Heaven not only transferred the military command scepter outside the royal city to the general, but also personally sent the military vehicle outside the city. In addition, the so-called promotion of being famous is not only the pursuit of the courage and tenacity of the same enemy, but also the creation of a momentum of showing off the might. Therefore, in terms of wording, it is required that the text must be sonorous and stern, as fierce and mighty as a storm, and must have the signs of a comet in the sky, and on the one hand, in order to arouse the high fighting spirit of the army and the people to fight bravely against the enemy, and on the other hand, it must expose the enemy's self-destruction. Therefore, the text points out that all the sins listed are deep, and they must all show that the enemy's strength is exhausted; The menacing force is enough to terrify the enemy. Only in this way can we further enhance our confidence in victory, and it is also possible to let the enemy's hundred-foot chariot be defeated by the size of the chariot; Let it be ten thousand miles of the city, and break through a piece of paper.
In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Kui Huan's article "Moving to the Counties and Countries" listed Wang Mang's three major crimes of "going against the sky, against the earth, and against people", which was concise and capable, and the semantics were detailed and simple, which was enough to show that the scribes of Longxi had completely mastered the essence of the main points of the text. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chen Lin wrote "Yuzhou for Yuan Shao", which not only was sonorous and powerful, but also poked at the enemy's soft underbelly; not only scolded Cao Cao for being the adopted son of a eunuch, but also shook out the ugliness of digging graves and digging gold, although he was too mean. Even with such a straightforward and scathing inscription, it did hurt Cao Cao's prestige and self-esteem, or the facts were conclusive due to the situation, although Chen Lin belonged to Yuan Shao's henchmen, he was spared. In addition, Zhong Hui of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, wrote the article "Moving Shu Generals and Soldiers" to conquer Shu, giving examples of obedience and disobedience, which is even more aggressive and easy to understand. Subsequently, Huan Wen's "Hu Wen" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty lamented the country's split and changed customs, and its sonorous voice of crusading against the north was indeed reasonable and strong. These works are all examples of magnificent prose.
The purpose of writing the essay is to proclaim the righteousness and light of our side with great fanfare, and at the same time to expose the sins of the other side even more vigorously. By enumerating the advantages and losses, strengths and weaknesses, advantages and disadvantages of the right time, place and people, the ultimate effect, conclusion and purpose sought is to be as if the good fortune has been verified by divination, and it is exactly the same as the prophecy of the Mandate of Heaven indicates that our side will win and the enemy will lose. Therefore, although the content of the text should be well understood, it does not exclude the soldiers and does not get tired of deceit, so it is often a treacherous and quibble hidden in the show of martial arts, and it is better to be good at using flashing words to justify it. Points like these are the tenets that this genre cannot violate. As for the formal requirements of the text, it is necessary to root the purpose and main points of its content in the high-spirited rhetoric, and the tone and attitude must show resoluteness, decisiveness, fortitude and tenacity, just like giving a brave horse wings to soar quickly; The most evasive thing in the middle is dragging mud and water, even if it shows signs of timidity, it is not only a failure, but a complete loss, or even a place to die. Therefore, the formal characteristics of the essay are to show the public public, to be clear and understandable and taboo to be ambiguous, to present facts and strong words, to be domineering and categorical. Some of these characteristics are important to complement the content of the text. It can be seen that the use of tactful metaphors to show interesting writing methods is not suitable for the style of writing. However, there is a kind of document for the recruitment of officials in the prefecture and county, which is also named "ζͺ", but the use of this style contains the meaning of "openness, clarity, and notice".
What is shifting? It is easy to move; It is to lead the change, from here to the other. The so-called change of customs is to lead the direction through instructions or seasons, and then the people's will and customs will be followed. For example, in the early Western Han Dynasty, Sima Xiangru's "The Father of Difficult Shu" expounded the reason why the natural danger was passed, which was not only clear but also profound, and fully possessed the style of moving and writing. There is also Liu Xin's "Book of Dr. Yi Taichang" in the late Western Han Dynasty, which discusses the source of modern and ancient literature, which is not only clear and conclusive, but also conclusive, which can be called the crown of the transformation of literary and artistic atmosphere. In addition, Lu Ji of the Western Jin Dynasty wrote "Shifting the White Official" (deceased), which is simple and simple, and should be a model of military management.
Looking at the function of the text or the transfer of the text, it can be said that it is urgent and practical to take into account the civil and military affairs. Once used for warriors, against hostile forces, the text must be immediately in the first place, and do not give in; If it is for internal management needs, the text should be the first word, aiming to change customs. Whether it is a text or a text, if it is like spring breeze and rain, the purpose is to cleanse the hearts of the people; Or like a covenant oath, in order to guarantee the unity of will. Although there are subtle differences between the two, they are exactly the same in terms of their fundamental purpose. Therefore, the key points of the uneven interaction between the text and the text will not be repeated.
To sum up: the net is open on three sides, and one side is chaotic; Nine crimes should be punished, and the explanation comes first. The text is shifted, such as a mirror, such as occupying; The soldiers and horses did not move, and the victory or defeat was clear. The text is turbulent, sweeping away all the enemies of the southern and northern wars; The text is attacked, and all trees and flowers are born.
