Key Points to Check for Composition
Original Text
It doesn’t matter whether you are clumsy or big at work [1], you must You must pay attention to check, if there is an accident [2], even if the wording is excellent, it is not the case. Senior Zonggong is also unavoidable. Ouyang Gong's "Renzong Yushu Feibai Ji" says: "I was about to go to Bo, and I took a false path to Ruyin, so I could read the book in Zilu's room. But the clouds were shining brightly, reflecting the sun and moon, and I bowed to him with a solemn look. Then he dared to look up and saw that Emperor Renzong's Yu Feibai [3] said, "Is this treasure house hidden in Huzi's room?" He said, "The emperor Yan gave it to his ministers." "Fei Bai, I am so lucky to have been given in advance." "Wu Youji Jun Shangchen Han [4] called each other "Yu", and also called Lu Jing's name? Also in "Dengzhenguan Yusuge Ji", it is said that Taizong Feibai also called himself "Yu". In the "Preface to the Collection of Foreign Systems", there were more ministers appointed during the reign of Emperor Qingli, and they were called Lu Yijian, Xia Song, Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan, and Fu Bi. They all used their names, and said, "Whoever I care about, I will choose him." "Gaoming", also known as "Yu Fang and Xiu Ancestor Story", there are seven who are called "Yu". This is not the case for Dongpo. Wang Hai also made this note, and his words go like this: "Therefore, the prince Shaofu and Prince Anjian are taboo about raising justice, and the ministers can't see him." This is called knowing the body.

Translation
When writing an article, regardless of the skill of the article, the key is to pay attention to whether the words are used appropriately. If the words are used improperly, even if the words and sentences used are very clever, it will not work. Calculate it. Articles written by previous masters cannot be avoided. Ouyang Xiu wrote in "Renzong Yushu Feibai Ji": "I was going to Bozhou and passed by Ruyin on the way, so I could read books in Zilu's room. And I saw the words of an article shining brightly, and the moonlight shone on it. I straightened my clothes and paid homage to him with a serious expression, and then I dared to raise my head to look at it. This was probably Fei Bai's calligraphy written by Emperor Renzong. I asked, "This is hidden in Baowen Pavilion. Why is it in your room?" He replied: "In the past, when the emperor hosted banquets for ministers, he would give me Feibai. I was lucky enough to be given it." How could there be any record of the emperor Chen Han calling himself "Yu" and calling him Lu Jing? Also in "Dengzhenguan Yusuge Ji", when it comes to Taizong Feibai, he also calls himself "Yu". In the "Preface to the Collection of Waizhi", he talks about the ministers who were more important during the Qing Dynasty one by one, calling them Lu Yijian, Xia Song, Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan, and Fu Bi by their first names. "I was responsible for this selection," he said, "I was in charge of issuing decrees at that time," and "I was participating in the compilation of the deeds of my ancestors." There are seven places where "Yu" is called "Yu". This is not the case with Su Dongpo. He once wrote such an article for Wang Hai, in which he wrote, "Therefore, the prince Shaofu and Prince An Jian refused to bring justice, and I was not able to see this person with my own eyes." etc., which can be said to be appropriate. .
Comment
The first sentence of the article puts forward the idea that whether the article is good or bad, the key is whether the words are used appropriately. The entire article discusses this point with examples. In the article, Hong Mai explained this point of view in detail through the use of "yu". Ouyang Xiu's "Renzong Yushu Feibai Ji" records that the emperor Chen Han mistakenly called himself "Yu"; in the "Preface to the Collection of Foreign Affairs", he also mistakenly used "Yu" when introducing ministers. But Su Dongpo did not make such a mistake, so he can be said to have used words appropriately.
In recent years, writing articles has become more and more popular, whether it is narrating historical facts or recording people's words. In some narrative articles, many of them are anecdotes about celebrities. Of course, there are many good works, but it is also common to see catchy works that describe inaccurate facts. This phenomenon is mostly due to the writing of articles. "Indiscretion" and confusing the audience with untrue content not only wastes readers' time and energy, but also unintentionally hurts others and causes trouble. In life, we see many lawsuits filed due to "improper behavior" when writing articles, such as Comrade Guo Xiaochuan's "anecdote" and so on. Therefore, when writing an article, you should not be too casual and should be more rigorous.
