撰文著书,为今人向往之举,所以有不少人热衷于著述而不辞辛苦地爬格子、敲键盘,学者、作家、诗人以及编辑等职业,一般也较为受人尊重。但同古时候相比,则相差太远了。古人把“立言”,即著述,看得与“立功”“立德”同等重要,著书立说历来被视为极神圣的事业。其重视的程度,如今一般读者是想象不到的。 Writting books is a longing for people today. Therefore, many people are keen on writings and worked hard to climb the plains. Typing keyboards, scholars, writers, poets and editors are generally respected. However, compared with ancient times, it is far behind. The ancients regarded “Liyan”, that is, the book, as equally important as “meritorious service” and “Lideau”, and the writing of books and records has always been regarded as a very sacred cause. The extent of its importance, today readers are generally unimaginable.
