Han Dynasty Zhao Qi's "San Fu Jue Lu": "It is not as good as Cui Du at the top, and it is more than Luo Zhao at the bottom." "Wren Fu" by Zhang Hua of Jin Dynasty : "Comparing what is lacking above to what is more than what is below." Initially it was about calligraphy.
Spring and Autumn Period·Laozi's "Tai Sheng Shui": "The sky is not enough to reach the northwest, and the lower part is higher to be strong; the earth is not lower than the southeast, and the upper part is low to be weak. If it is not lower than the upper part, there is more than the lower part, and if it is not lower than the lower part, it is weak." Those who are inferior are more than those who are superior."
The concept of allusions:
Allusions refer to allusions and anecdotes. "Cihai" and "Ciyuan" establish two meanings for the word "allusion": First, the ancient meaning of the word allusion is somewhat equivalent to the "allusion" in modern Chinese, which refers to ancient regulations and systems, old events and practices.
Of course, the allusion we are talking about today uses the modern meaning of allusion. The modern meaning of allusion is explained in "Modern Chinese Dictionary" as "stories or phrases in ancient books quoted in poems". The interpretations of "Cihai" and "Ciyuan" are similar to this, saying that they are "ancient stories and words with provenance cited in poems."
Wang Guanghan, a well-known linguist who studies allusions, pointed out in his "Research on Dictionary Issues - Correcting the Names of Allusions": The above statements are too general. First of all, the word "quote" is not used properly.
Quotation is quotation. Quotations in textual research and quotations in novel notes are all quotations. Are these quotations and quotations allusions? Aren’t textual research and novel notes considered “literary”? As for other quotations and textual research with annotated sources that can be called "texts", as well as large paragraphs of original texts of novel notes, they should be said to belong to the same type in essence, and these should obviously be distinguished from allusions.
