Deciphering The Simplicity Of Ancient Official Documents

The ancient official documents were simple and clear, and the articles were rich. For example, "Qin theory" is a masterpiece of Jia Yi's political essays. In his middle story, he only used 18 words, "Qin Zhou and Zhou sacrifice", and he was also a princes in the sea. The whole history of Qin's unification of six countries was completed, and the three verbs were "destroyed" and "combined". Another example is Liu Bang's three laws: "the murderer dies, hurts and robbed." Only three words with legal meaning are put into the world in 10 words. The language is straightforward and smooth, and passes through word of mouth.

There is no doubt that the author in Sichuan Jiajiang thousand Buddha rock, see worthy of learning two concise. Document Inscription on a tablet. One is the Ming Dynasty's "marriage proclamation monument": "show Yu, military and civilian people," and so on. In the future, they must be married to the age of fifteen and above six years old. All the hospitals are showing. This document contains 47 words and the contents are issued by the censors. The responsibility is clear, concise and comprehensive, with the binding force of enforcement. Not only the father and brother of the early marriage are the main responsible persons, but also the local (insurance, a) are included in the joint and several liability, which is very deterrent. After the publication of this article, the early marriage of Jiajiang has been effectively controlled.

The other is "stone inscription of the king of the hall". The full text is as follows: "the king of the hall is strictly forbidden to set up factories and build stones at the upper and lower levels." This document is even shorter, with a total of 18 words. There is no room for negotiation. After the publication of the proclamation, at least in the Qing Dynasty to Jiaqing to the Republic of China, it played an effective role in protecting the relics of thousand Buddha rock.

Why did the ancients use such simplicity? Writing style I believe that official documents are issued by statutory organs or organizational systems. They represent the intention of statutory organs and organizations, and have binding effect on statutory effect and enforcement. They must be plain and clear, so as to achieve the purpose of letting everyone know clearly.

Now, the Central Committee has asked for a short meeting and a short essay. We might as well study and read ancient documents and learn some useful nutrients from it.
