The so-called "Spring and Autumn Calligraphy", also known as "Spring and Autumn Calligraphy", is a historical narrative method and technique in ancient China, first created by Confucius.
In other words, the author implicitly praises and criticizes when narrating history. Although he did not directly describe his views on the characters and events, he cleverly and subtly expressed his subjective views and opinions through detailed description, rhetoric (such as word choice), and material selection.
The "New Book of Tang" and "New History of the Five Dynasties" compiled by Ouyang Xiu of the Northern Song Dynasty used a large number of Spring and Autumn writing techniques.

Later application of Spring and Autumn style of writing:
1. Euphemism becomes a chapter
Euphemism is a big taboo. The Spring and Autumn Period is a unique phenomenon in ancient China. It began in the Zhou Dynasty, reached the Qin Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and became more complete in the Qing Dynasty. It was abolished after the founding of the Republic of China. The literary prison of the Qing Dynasty is well known.
2. Complete but not dirty
Objective and detailed records, without deviation, distortion or concealment. For example, in "Remembering Liu Hezhen", "Enter from behind, pierce the heart and lungs diagonally" four bullets, one of which is a pistol, jump immediately. One is that the pistol showed police involvement in the attack and massacre. It is organized and premeditated.
