The so-called "Spring and Autumn Calligraphy", also called "Spring and Autumn Calligraphy" or "Micro Words and Meanings", is a historical narrative method and technique in ancient my country. As the name suggests, it is just a writing method, or an art of using language. It is an article writing method pioneered by Confucius, which shows the author's ideological tendency in the narrative of the article instead of expressing it through argumentative words. Zuo Qiuming summarized it as "the subtle but obvious, the ambition but obscure, the euphemistic but not the chapter, exhaustive but not dirty, punishing evil and encouraging good".
As a tradition of Chinese historical narration, Spring and Autumn calligraphy is said to originate from the Spring and Autumn Annals. "Spring and Autumn", a history book of the State of Lu. According to legend, it was built by Confucius. Confucian scholars believe that every word used in it must contain praise and blame. Historically, Zuo Qiu Mingfa was the first to give an accurate summary of this style of writing: "Spring and Autumn" is called "Spring and Autumn", which is subtle but revealing, ambitious but obscure, euphemistically made into a chapter, exhaustive but not dirty, punishing evil and encouraging good. "Who but a wise man can cultivate it?" (Translation: The descriptions in "Spring and Autumn Annals" are carefully worded but have clear meanings, record historical facts but are profound and implicit, are tactful and logical, are exhaustive without distortion, warn against evil and praise good. Who else is it if he is not a saint? Can you write it? )
Because Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn", he implicitly praised and criticized the history. Although the writing did not directly explain his views on the characters and events, he used detailed descriptions, rhetorical techniques (such as vocabulary) selection) and screening of materials, euphemistically and subtly expressing the author's subjective views. In order to elaborate Confucius' thoughts, later authors wrote special works to explain the inner meaning of "Spring and Autumn", especially some details involving rituals.
For example, "Wu Gong killed him in anger and said: "Hu, this is a country of brothers. "What's the point of attacking Zi?" Since he has been killed (Guan Qisi), there is no need to use the humble address of people - "Zi"
