Reception of classical Chinese letters

1. Ask for a letter in classical Chinese, the content of which is written as a modern person to an ancient celebrity. Send it to brother Kong Ming in more than 250 words.

After decades of haste, I still read the book of sages under the cold window. On winter nights, when it is colder, you have to serve the ancients and get drunk in the humble room, so you can't drink well. You can only put a roll of sighs in your hand, but what about those who retreat from the enemy in the questionnaire? Right: So is Zhu Gekongming.

I read the Three Kingdoms, and I only love the light, because it is simple and only wise. I have a lot to say to my brother Wolong, and I cherish the separation between Yin and Yang, so I sent it from afar. I hope my brother can have a look and make a wish.

Brother's boldness of vision, ancient and modern, look at today's world, who can compare with you, we can only fish in the forest, and even if we can achieve it, it's embarrassing. In the distant past, my brother and the official worshipped the book, but they still did everything themselves. When they left Qishan to recover the Central Plains, their hearts were bright and filled with emotion, and their admiration was beyond words. Oh! With a sigh, my brother broke down from overwork, and Zixing mourned the fall of Wuzhangyuan, and the situation of heaven and earth changed color. After ten years of relative relationship with Xu, especially gave birth after death, which made him feel worse than sighing. This merit is nothing more than average.

There are tears in my eyes today, but I don't know, is it for my brother or for myself?

It's totally original I wrote a composition last week and got full marks. This is my abbreviated version for your reference.

2. Can you use the opening and closing words of classical Chinese in the letter body of vernacular Chinese? Letters in vernacular Chinese can start and end in classical Chinese, but the following principles must be mastered:

1, don't use too uncommon words.

As a style, letters have a long history and formed their own unique writing habits. Many opening remarks and closing remarks used by the ancients have always been used by people, and their meanings are well known. For example: mom's knee; Mr. Ming Jian; Don't go through the years when you are in your mind; Hope to reply; Save labor for the hope; Wait a minute. This kind of words, with clear meaning and emphasis on politeness, can be used according to the style of writing.

However, some words have gradually withdrawn from the epistolary style, and it is easy to cause unnecessary confusion to the recipient when used today, so try not to use them. For example, before stating things, the ancients like to say "crawl", which means to crawl on the ground and discuss the following things. This kind of word is so uncommon that few people can understand it and should be avoided.

2. Take care of the recipient's feelings.

The purpose of writing a letter is to express the writer's thoughts to the recipient, so that the recipient can understand it is the first requirement, followed by the need to show personal cultural quality, and the cart before the horse cannot be put. If the other party's ancient prose is of high quality, you can "write" some; If the other person doesn't understand difficult words, try not to use classical Chinese vocabulary.

3. The opening and closing remarks should be as consistent as possible with the style of the text.

The unity of style and language is very important. Even if the text of the letter is written in vernacular, there is a difference between written language and spoken language, and the main style of writing should be considered in the opening and closing remarks. If you speak English all over, you don't need classical Chinese for opening and closing remarks.

3. A letter in classical Chinese to my friend Fan Wenyu, a thousand miles to kowtow to Dong Xiong:

The residual wind outside reveals our clothes. In April, it is cool and cloudy during the day and night. At present, I feel very guilty. I haven't reported half a paper for several days. It's wrong to give. A foolish brother speculates thousands of miles, and a brother is entangled thousands of miles, and it is difficult to stop his arm. Look at his one-day trip, face to face with all eyes, and on this day he will be appointed to prepare his great talents for the people of Sri Lanka.

Taishigong reported the book to Ren 'an that year, and the article was handed down to later generations and enjoyed for thousands of years. Today, we have been friends for several years, and we are like brothers. We are earnest, and the truth comes from paper. Looking back at the beginning of the year, it was quiet and there was no class reunion, so I boarded the bus and went to the south. As for the river. Today, my brother stood slightly in Huining, and I dare not think about what my brother said. Every time you know something, it's like listening to your ears. Since the school was founded, I have been going back and forth between the library and the dormitory all day. Buried in reading at night, hoping to achieve something, often thought it was.

This year's promotion, policy mutation, the preface can be a sophomore, so it is like a bubble, and the promotion period is moved to the next year. The great pain of ambition is also sorrowful. A lady and a gentleman hesitate, and when they meet a stone, they will bend, not against their brother's words.

After parting from your son, you will feel bored again. I went to my mother's school, and then I went to Philip Burkart. Scholar Lei, with a short life of three feet, has no talent of latitude and longitude, and has no gorgeous appearance. He is quiet and shy, doesn't like to travel, doesn't admire Li Rong, and laments that he is unlucky, that life is not with him, that he is alone in the world, and that he is poor in the vast sea. It's fun to often read articles to amuse yourself, which is also people's ambition.

The deceased is like this, time waits for no one, half a year is approaching, and the legacy is getting less and less. Brother, let's talk about politics, study academics and prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. Why don't we make progress? My brother has this idea, but in the humble room, he is afraid that there is no convenience for his brother, so he has to step up. This is also a backward person, studying.

The candle is exhausted and the lamp is withered, only leaning on books and dreaming. Goodbye.

4. Classical Chinese letters, explaining sudden words ... in a hurry.

Jiang Zaibai is his elder brother in the same year of engagement. The seventeenth.

This sentence means that it starts with Han Jiang and has content in the middle. The content is to thank Han Jiang. It turns out that the thing now is to thank him. This is in a hurry, which means I was in a hurry and didn't have time to talk.

Not declaring means not telling. Jiang Zaibai is his elder brother in the same year of engagement.

The seventeenth. This is the last sentence of the letter, that is, call Han Jiang again, and then the time is seventeen.

I'm sorry ... nothing. Before the stage, I made a suggestion.

This is Mi Fei's Gan Hui Post (sitting in a book with Si Jiantai). I think it means don't write.

White of Xi: If you don't judge, how can you respect your body? This is the white line in Wang Xizhi's "He Ru Tie": What about not judging the body? Tell me later. Cold hooligans in the middle of semantics.

Looking for white. Xi's white.

Wang Xizhi told me: I wonder how you are recently? Talk about (this matter) later. I can't do anything because I'm sick with a cold. I'll let you know after exploring.

Xi's announcement White is a usage when writing letters, similar to Wang Xizhi's colon and the colon when we write letters now.

If you translate it, just translate it into complaints. No trial means I don't know.

There is also a pause after the word "non-trial", which is a form of honoring books, such as empty words and holding to show respect. These three are ancient letters, invitations and the like. Search the original picture to see, mainly to appreciate calligraphy.

To know the specific meaning, we must combine the writing background and writing habits at that time.

6. The writing format and words of China's ancient letters: title, opening remarks, text, conclusion, congratulations, signature, postscript, supplement 1. Nomination is a word attached to a title to improve it.

Raising the title means honoring the trustee, which means, for example, sending a bachelor (On Du Tan by Wang Anshi), a public seat, a gentleman's guide, a mother's guide, a good brother, etc. Some titles not only promote the title, but also invite the trustee to read this letter, such as "teaching a lesson" and "learning from others".

There are many appellations commonly used in China's traditional letters, so we should pay special attention to the coordination with appellations when using them. Second, the opening remarks are the opening words of the letter, or greetings, or reminders to write.

The joint notice pays tribute to "honorific words", which means: "I respectfully tell you the following things." The opening remarks are divided into two categories.

(1) means that the writer sincerely invites the receiver to read this letter. (2) according to the specific situation, or make a polite greeting, or prompt to write a letter, etc.

Third, the text of the letter, that is, what the writer said to the recipient, is the main body of the letter. The text starts from the second line of the letterhead, preceded by the word blank.

If the prologue is on a separate line, the text can be written on the next line of the prologue. The contents of the letter are different, so there is no need to unify when writing, and the principle is accurate expression and accurate meaning.

Four. Conclusion It is impolite to write a letter to tell a story and it will be over when it is finished. So, it's like chatting at a friend's house. Before you leave, you need to say a few transitional words, and then you can leave. In the letter, such as "I am eager to learn from books, I am waiting for good news", "Please forgive my late reply" and so on.

The honorific at the end tells the other party that the conversation is over, which echoes the honorific notice in the previous paragraph. Use "Zunqi" in front and "Zunben" and "Save Ben" in the back; If you use "I reply" in front, then use "specialize in this", "grass this" and so on.

A congratulatory letter is a phrase that expresses wishes, respect or encouragement to the recipient at the end of the letter, such as "Ode to Peace". Among them, the words "ode" are written at the end of the text; Words like "Jin 'an" should be written on a new line.

If there are many words in the greeting, you can write it independently, and you don't need to split it in two. If there is enough space under the stationery, or in order to highlight the congratulatory message, you can also write the words "Zhu", "Award" and "From here" in a single line, leaving four spaces empty, and write "An", "Good" and "Salute" in the other top box.

Generally, there is no punctuation mark after the congratulatory message written in the top case. Congratulatory messages should be appropriately selected according to specific circumstances.

At the end of the signature note, write the name of the sender and the time of writing. It should be noted that a self-declaration should be added before the name, and appropriate polite expressions should be chosen under the name.

7. Appellations and supplementary appellations are words with greetings. Postscript generally has two situations: 1. The writer greets the relatives and friends around the trustee, such as: ① Ask your father to pay a New Year call first (about the trustee's parents); Let your brother wait for you (about the trustee's brother); The writer greets the trustee on behalf of relatives and friends, such as: ① Guangping and knocking at the door facing the sea (about his wife and children); My father sends his regards (with a pen).

Supplement, that is, the words that need to be supplemented after the letter is written. Complements are usually prompted by "You Ji:" and "You Kai:".

Complement should not be too long. Remarks: prologue: refined and affectionate boxing.

Received calligraphy without rhyme or reason. I got this book yesterday and read it again and again.

I am very happy to read the imperial edict. Boxing is full of meaning, and I can't say anything.

I'm glad to take over this program. I haven't heard from you for a long time

I believe I have learned my previous letters. I am glad to receive your letter.

Thank you for your letter. I'm glad to know everything. If you see an old friend, take over.

Getting a book is a great comfort. If you get the pleasure of a book, you will see it again.

The number of calligraphy and the warmth of love are beyond words. It's a great honor to get your hands-on instruction and pay tribute to He Kang.

I haven't heard from you for a long time, but I hope everything is all right. I have been writing brush calligraphy for many days, and now I have a little leisure to write a few words.

Admiration: Looking forward to reading. I'm grateful for guidance.

This is a great TV play, and my heart is deeply hurt. I sincerely regret it and use it to dispel dust and confusion.

Read famous books and be amazed. Reading a good book is like hearing a good word from a stone.

I have been a great talent for a long time, but I feel thirsty when I think about it. Dehong was envious and admired again and again.

Thank you for your kindness and great work. I am very grateful to you. Missing words: I broke up for many days, hope that you are well? Years don't live, but the four seasons flow.

A few months later, it was deep. If you are not tired, what else can you think? The sea is in sight, and I can't wait.

Don't worry about it in the future, your heart will turn. The feeling of parting is still bitter today.

I'm worried about not coming for a long time. How's it going? Read it.

In my previous letters, I am sure I have learned a lot from you. I haven't seen polyphony, thinking and time accumulation so far. Greetings: spring is chilly, be kind to yourself and cherish yourself.

In the spring of March, Yan Yu carved beams, which must be refreshing! When this spring breeze warms up, I hope to be healthy both physically and mentally. Spring is a pleasant day. Have you made good use of it? Spring is beautiful, and the family must be healthy.

When you want to enter summer, you are willing to take care of yourself. The scorching sun, please be careful.

Gradually entering the cold, the bow is safe and sound. Autumn is cool, but I am lucky to take care of myself.

Sweat and summer are impermanent, and Fu Wei cherishes self-love. Self-report: I live a quiet life, but I can release my thoughts.

The house is safe, please release the suspense. The base body is safe at first, so it is difficult to ask for it.

The base is in good health and the family members are healthy. The minor illness has healed and the stubborn body is as good as before.

Congratulations: I'm glad to hear that.

I want to send you a few words of congratulations. Sincere congratulations.

Glad to hear that.

Sincere comfort, anxious to send this letter, sincere congratulations.

Apologize: Thank you very much for your understanding and apologize for your late reply. I'm sorry for the long silence.

I'm sorry I haven't written to you for a long time Conclusion: I apologize for writing this down in a hurry.

Please reply first and report later. Thank you for waiting.

I don't want to say anything when I am in a hurry. I would like to apply for figures to show my sincerity.

The book is not satisfactory, and the rest will follow. Nothing is old.

I want to express my gratitude. Please be long and short, don't force it.

If you think it's not enough, please be careful again. I'm busy in the future, so I won't say much.

Committed to restoration. This is my reply.

I am waiting for your reply.

7. Please refer to the prefixes and suffixes of letters in classical Chinese, and use them in classical Chinese letters. For example, Master Yun (Wang Anshi's "Talking about the Bachelor of Shangdu") and Brother Hong's 14-year-old family are very popular (Gong Zizhen's "Yu Shu"); For example, a gentleman is a teacher, a good brother can learn, and so on.

Commonly used appellations between friends are as follows: The first step was originally used as a courtesy address for subordinates to superiors in ancient times, and later it was mostly used among colleagues in letters. Ancient mirrors, such as vertical mirror, vertical mirror, jun mirror and stage mirror, have the meaning of deliberation. Used as the address of a letter, this is a polite reading. Hanging means condescending. Giving is giving. Hook, in ancient times, used hook pottery to describe national politics, and later called eunuch hook. Lessons from the past, lessons from the past, are often used in letters to people who are old and virtuous. Honorable titles can be used to show respect for elders or peers. Taijian is widely used, and "Tai" means "Gao", which can be used by familiar or unfamiliar elders and peers. Great, English, great and elegant, with noble, beautiful, extraordinary and ordinary meanings, should be used in letters between friends. "See you later" means to enjoy reading, but its semantic component is lighter than that of "giving to see you", which is suitable for ordinary letters, and teachers can also use it as a courtesy to independent junior students.

Writing seats, writing seats, and historical seats are all honorifics for scholars, and they are often used interchangeably among scholars. Writing is writing. History refers to the history of works handed down from generation to generation.

The opening words are the opening words of letters, or greetings or reminders to write letters. The opening remarks should be part of the letter. Because this kind of fractal has become a series of idioms in the old letters, it can often be seen in the present letters, so it is put forward separately and divided into two categories for reference:

(1) means that the writer sincerely invites the receiver to read this letter. For example, the writer claims to be a respectful person, indicating the following words, such as "Dear Mother, kneel down". Respectfully, the writer, as a respectful statement, is very humble and asks the other party to allow him to say what he wrote below. It can be used for the peer and the next pair. Sincerity means prudence and solemnity. Used of companions. The meaning of path is very direct, which is very common for both public and private letters. People who worship enlightenment worship and pay tribute. Used for communication between friends. Beginners are used for peers, indicating that the following message will write the content of asking for help from the other party. Hereby, here, now. Here, I intend to make a statement here today. Attitude is objective and peaceful, and there is no obvious respect. A letter used by an enlightener to talk about something.

(2) according to the specific situation, or say hello, or prompt to write a letter. Such as memorizing Chinese notes and knowing everything. Suddenly, I was taught by hand and learned that one was. I long for the imperial edict. You got a grand performance and Jing gave you something. Thank you for your letter, if you meet your old friends. Fortunately, enlightened religion, enlightened. Recite the ruler to show my gratitude. My calligraphy is deeply loved. I'm glad to see this letter. After reading Flowers, I'm glad I can't violate it. I am very happy to read German. Teaching by hand is respected, and its meaning is profound and beautiful, inspiring. Tangent thinking, worthy of Hua Han, happy and inexplicable. Holding hands, it is a great relief to know Kangtai. I am grateful for this book and gave it a big book. If it is a river, I will be impressed. I'm sorry I didn't reply because of my complicated affairs. Taiwan Province's letter was read for many days, but it was not repaired immediately. I hope it will be buried in the sea. I learned from you, please forgive me. Thank you for your letter and good news. After reading the calligraphy, I know that you are ill and unsafe, which is very suspenseful. For a long time, Mu Caihong took the liberty to write a teaching book. I hope you are all right. I haven't seen you for a long time. I really appreciate your kindness. I haven't seen it for a long time, and my fist is extremely yin. When you ask a long question, you are in your mind. Farewell to the years increased my thoughts. I wrote a letter the other day. I'm afraid it's time. I think I have read the previous letter.

The ending is generally equal to "farewell" and "sincere farewell" to show courtesy and respect. Such as Sima Qian's "Report to Ren 'an", and finally "There are endless books, but Chen Gu is a little thick. I am willing to worship again. "

8. Writing format of classical Chinese letters The text of a letter, that is, what the writer says to the recipient, is the main body of the letter.

The text starts from the second line of the letterhead, preceded by the word blank. If the prologue is on a separate line, the text can be written on the next line of the prologue.

The contents of the letter are different, so there is no need to unify when writing, and the principle is accurate expression and accurate meaning. Generally speaking, talk about each other's affairs first, show concern, attention or gratitude and respect, and then talk about your own affairs.

After the text is written, if there is any omission, it can be added at the end; Or write it in the blank at the bottom right of the letter, and add the words "other" and "you" before the postscript; Or write the words "friendship" or "enthusiasm" after the postscript. The conclusion, that is, the conclusion of the letter, should belong to a part of the text.

However, similar to the "opening remarks", a series of commonly used concluding remarks have also been formed in old-style letters, which are still frequently used in books and slips of people from all walks of life. I might as well list some here for your reference.

Books are short and long, so I won't repeat them one by one. Forgive me one by one.
