“文辞”一语最早见于《左传》,是作者借孔子等人对于聘问之礼中行人之辞所作的积极评价,从具体语境来看,其本义为应用于礼仪场合的合乎礼义之言,这样的解释也合于《左传》及《论语》对“文”、“辞”的分用之例。“文辞”是礼制社会、礼仪活动的产物,礼义是其内在蕴含,与文章著述、文章风格等后世文章观念无关。 “Dictation ” was first seen in the “Zuo Zhuan”, is the author by Confucius and others for positive comments on the words of the pedestrians in the engagement ceremony, from the specific context, the original meaning is applied to ceremonial occasions The ritual words, such an interpretation also coincides with “Zuo Zhuan” and “The Analects of Confucius” on the “text”, “Ci ” the division of cases. “Dictation ” is the product of the ritual society and ritual activities. The righteousness is its inherent implication, and has nothing to do with the later essay concepts such as article writing and style.
