What is "Spring and Autumn Calligraphy"?

The so-called "Spring and Autumn Calligraphy", also known as "Spring and Autumn Calligraphy" or "Outlining the Great Righteousness", is a historical narrative method and skill in ancient China, and an article writing method created by Confucius, that is, expressing the author's ideological tendency in the narrative of the article, rather than through argumentative words.

Features:

1, slightly.

Although the text is simple, the meaning is obscure.

3. Euphemism and taboo.

4, objective and detailed records, no deviation, no distortion, no concealment.

5, not only narrative, but also subjective evaluation, so that the name of good will go down in history and the name of evil will be remembered for thousands of years.

Extended data;

Just as Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Period, when he recorded history, he implied praise and criticism. Although he did not directly describe his views on people and things.

However, he euphemistically and implicitly expressed the author's subjective views through detailed description, rhetorical devices (such as word selection) and material selection. In order to clarify Confucius' thoughts, later writers specially wrote some works to explain the inner meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period, especially the details of some ceremonies.

Historians emphasize straight brushwork, but Confucius secretly increases his subjective views with obscure brushwork such as less obvious words.
