中国古人对于著文立言,一向重视。“左传”说:“太上有立德,其次有立言,其次有立功。虽久不废,此之谓不朽。”后人也有“文章千古事”的诗句。我看这些话并不算夸大。试看古今中外多少名文佳作,真是历千古而不朽。至于怎样写文章,古今人议论的甚多,而首先注重在“诚”。古人说“修辞立其诚”;又说“不诚无物”。“诚”是认真。所谓“诚心诚意”,就是认真。“诚”也相当代表内容。“诚”了,固然不一定就有内容;而“不诚”一定“无物”。毛主席指责党八股的第一条罪状是:“空话连篇,言之无物。”说空话写空文的人,必然是没有诚意的。“诚”是热诚和热情。文章要有感情,特别是议论文需要有感情。人们读到好文章,可以击节叹赏,一咏三叹;可以眉飞色舞,击碎唾壶;可以拍案而起,鬚眉皆竖;也可以低徊惆 Chinese ancients have always attached importance to literary works. “Zuo Zhuan” said: “There are rituals on the top, followed by rituals, followed by meritorious service, which will be immortalized for a long time.” The descendants also have the poem of “Essay on Era”.

The so-called “sincerely” is serious. “Honesty” is quite representative of the content. “Sincerity,” of course, does not necessarily have content; and “dishonest” must be “nothing.” Chairman Mao’s accusation that the first charge of the party’s eight shares is: “Empty talk, nothing.” There must be no sincerity in speaking empty words. Honesty is passion and passion. Article should have feelings, especially essay need to have feelings. People read a good article, you can hit the festival of praise, a chant three sighs; you can enraptured, crushed saliva pot; can shoot the case, the men are both vertical;
