Basic information:
Ancient Chinese has two meanings in our country. One meaning refers to the characters in ancient books before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, mainly the characters in ancient books such as The Book of Changes, The Analects of Confucius, The Spring and Autumn Period, Shangshu, Zhou Li, Lv Chunqiu and Xiao Jing, which are relatively early characters. Another meaning refers to the general name of classical Chinese before 1954 (generally excluding "parallel prose"), which is a kind of prose with strange sentence patterns and no dual temperament.
Classical Chinese:
Classical Chinese refers to classical Chinese before 1954 (generally excluding "parallel prose"). Compared with parallel prose, it is a kind of prose with strange sentences, single lines and no dual temperament. Parallel prose prevailed after Wei and Jin Dynasties, paying attention to duality, neat syntax and gorgeous words.
Su Chuo opposed the flashy style of parallel prose in the late Northern Dynasties, and imitated the style of Shangshu to write Dayu, thinking that the article was a standardized genre, called "ancient prose", that is, writing articles in the prose language of the pre-Qin Dynasty. Later, in the Tang Dynasty, Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan and so on. It is advocated to restore the tradition of rich content, free length, plain and smooth prose in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, that is, to call such prose ancient prose.
Ancient prose: Ancient prose of Confucius, the so-called biography of teachers. The difference between ancient prose and written prose is geographical difference. Ancient prose is a book in the wall, and the ancients respected classics, so it was placed before essays, and its age was not necessarily earlier than essays. Xu Shen said: "Up to the Six Classics of Confucius, Zuo Qiuming's Spring and Autumn Biography is an ancient text." He added: "The calligrapher in the wall, King Lu Gong (BC 155 ~ BC 129) destroyed Confucius' House and got The Book of Rites, The Book of History, The Spring and Autumn Annals, The Analects of Confucius and The Book of Filial Piety." The Book of Rites is a work in the late Warring States period. Ancient books and records are made of bamboo slips. After countless times of reading and copying, they were "three unique skills in Wei's compilation and three unique skills in lacquer calligraphy", and their use time was not long. In the thirty-fourth year of Qin Shihuang (2 13 BC), books were ordered to be burned, but there were not necessarily early manuscripts hidden in various places, and they were all popular books at that time. Even if there are six classics written by Confucius, it is only 500 BC. Xu Shen said that the materials he used were called Meng Shi in Yi, Kong Shi in Shu, Shi Mao in Shi, Zhou Guan in Li, Zuo Shi in Spring and Autumn Annals, and Xiao Jing. About all of them were copied by Confucian classics in Han Dynasty. Different from Biography, Xu Shen used more than 500 words, about118 in Biography. The characteristics of ancient Chinese, such as one or two poems, add unnecessary decoration, ceremony and etiquette. Making gifts, giving up and boldly simplifying are not the original forms of Chinese characters, but are produced in line with the needs of the times.
