Requirements for writing literature and history materials

First of all, establish the mission attitude of ministers to educate people.

The literature and history materials of CPPCC have the unique functions of supplementing historical heritage, correcting historical mistakes, supplementing the lack of archives and assisting historical evidence. It can not only fill some gaps and deficiencies in party history, national history, local chronicles and historical archives, but also prove history from different sides and angles and maintain the true face of historical events and people. Making the past serve the present is our fundamental purpose in compiling history, which provides reference for socialist modernization, patriotism education, revolutionary tradition education and national conditions education. Literature and history materials can also "describe a person and unite a large area." It has played a role in turning spring breeze into rain and moistening things silently. By describing the great social changes in China since modern times, many people with lofty ideals fought bravely for China's independence, prosperity and democracy, we can unite more people to devote themselves to socialist construction, and at the same time educate future generations to inherit the revolutionary tradition, love socialism and love the land under their feet, so that they can cherish today's happy life, strive to become talents and make more contributions to social development and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Second, inherit the fashion that historians write directly with pens.

Writing straightly is a fine tradition of China historians for thousands of years. It is regarded as a moral standard to measure historians and historical works, so it is called "Shide". The value of this virtue lies in straightness, that is, no matter how great you are, you will never deny your achievements, and you will be outspoken about your achievements. Historians of past dynasties have left us many brilliant masterpieces of straight books. Sima Qian included Chen She, the leader of the peasant uprising, and Xiang Yu, the failed hero, in his family. At the same time, he did not hide the defect of Liu Bang, the emperor gaozu of Han Dynasty, who was greedy for money and lustful. Dong Hu, a historian, was born in the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was born in an age of honesty, frankness and integrity, and is famous for telling the truth. In the 14th year of Jin Linggong (607 BC), Zhao Chuan, the younger brother of Zhao Dun, the minister of the State of Jin, killed the fatuous and cruel Jin Linggong in Taoyuan. Dong Hu wrote in Historical Records: "Zhao Dun regicide". Shield said, "Otherwise." Yes, he said, "If you are a seme, you won't cross the line, but you won't ask for a thief. Who is it? " Confucius said, "Donghu has a good history, but calligraphy is not hidden." Later generations called the person who took notes directly "Donghu Pen".

Third, adhere to the narrative-oriented writing style

There are many narrative methods, which are nothing more than direct narration, interpolation and flashback, but they are only used to make a person or a thing clear. But as a historical pen, its task is mainly to record people and national deeds (that is, to introduce the process of the occurrence and development of events; Imagination and exaggeration are absolutely not allowed, so the method used is usually to tell stories directly. What I'm talking about here is highlighting a spirit, not emphasizing writing skills. This spirit seems simple and Gu Zhuo, but it embodies a spirit of historical writing. This spirit must run through the whole process of literature and history collection, textual research and writing. Only by firmly grasping this point can we faithfully inherit the brushwork of China historians. As for the use of narrative techniques, it is only a necessary means for historians to supplement historical materials or make their statements more attractive without distorting the facts. In fact, throughout all kinds of history, many articles have not been discussed or described. Only by telling the truth can a historical fact be written clearly.

Fourth, grasp the vivid and accurate language style.

The article genre of literature and history materials belongs to "historical materials", which requires the author to organize articles with the brushwork and language of writing history. First of all, don't make up, imagine and exaggerate, but insist on the authenticity of history. The characters and events in writing can be imaginary and fictional, while the characters and events in history must be well-founded, not mixed with the slightest fiction and exaggeration, let alone make up for the lack of historical materials with imagination and reasoning; The second is not to be too lyrical. Literary creation can be lyrical from beginning to end, even collusion, infecting readers with their own subjective feelings, guiding everyone to love life and look forward to the future, while historical writing can only be based on historical facts for calm analysis and concise comments; The third is not to indulge in description. There is no doubt that description can enhance the vividness and vividness of article language, including historical writing, which cannot be absolutely rejected. However, the mission of historical writing is different from that of writing. If the description is abused, it may hurt the "historical truth" pursued by historical writing. So historians generally use line drawing.
