Recently, I read a doctoral thesis of Shaanxi Normal University-the cultural connotation of five figures in Historical Records. The title is very attractive, and I can't help thinking: What is the cultural connotation of the five-body number in Historical Records? What is the value of this paper? What can I learn from the author's formal skills in writing papers? How to write a good paper?
Historical Records records a history of more than 3,000 years, from the time of the Yellow Emperor in the ancient legend of China to the first year of Emperor Wudi's Yuan Shou. The book includes twelve biographies, thirty families, seventy biographies, ten tables, eight books and one hundred and thirty articles.
This paper puts forward his own views on Sima Qian's arrangement of the number of articles in Historical Records. The paper consists of two parts: one is the proposal and possibility of the five-body digital cultural connotation of Historical Records, and the other is the speculation of the five-body digital cultural connotation of Historical Records. The two parts are subdivided into several small problems, and then subdivided. The author didn't elaborate too much, cut to the chase, and put forward what he wants to discuss first, which makes people clear at a glance. She listed the understanding of the cultural connotation of the five figures in Historical Records put forward by Sima Zhen in the Tang Dynasty and Zhang Shoujie's Justice in Historical Records. They all think that the numbering of five historical records, such as Historical Records, Ji, Biao, Shu, Shi Jia and Biography, has profound meanings. Furthermore, the author mentioned that Sima Qian himself only explained the reason why he was a top 30 family in Taishi Gongxu, but did not clearly and completely explain the meaning of the number of five bodies, so she put forward the opposite view on this mysterious statement, and Wang Ruoxu's Wenzi Prison and Shen Tao's Historical Records reprimanded the first two statements as groundless. Different figures in the past dynasties have been arguing endlessly about the cultural connotation of the five figures in Historical Records, but the author thinks that the truth is often becoming clearer and clearer in constant confrontation. Although there were people who opposed Xiao Sima and Zhang Shoujie in all previous dynasties, the academic circles never stopped believing that the five-body number in Historical Records contained mysterious meanings, until Mr. Zhu Ziqing once again put forward a similar understanding to the real chapter in modern times. The author uses strict words, and the cited examples also effectively support his point of view.
Then, the author mentioned the possibility of compiling five styles by numbers in Historical Records. China has a long tradition of emphasizing and using numbers in ancient culture and literature. For example, China and the West attach importance to numbers, and "the whole universe is also a number, which should be a tune". Give the mysterious meaning of numbers in Tao Te Ching and Zhouyi, and the special significance of the arrangement of numbers in Lv Chunqiu, Yi Zhuan, Zhuangzi and Mencius. After accepting his father's wishes, Sima Qian even claimed to be the third cultural saint after Duke Zhou and Confucius for 500 years, and was determined to write a great book. The author thinks that Sima Qian will naturally absorb the essence of predecessors' culture and art, and the mysterious figure with rich cultural connotation is essentially the same as the profound content and spirit of Historical Records. How could he give up? The author thinks that Sima Qian's arrangement of five articles in Historical Records has special significance, which is closely related to his time environment, family background and mentoring relationship. He narrated in turn, step by step, with clear thinking and clear conditioning.
The second part is the author's speculation on the cultural connotation of the five-body number in Historical Records. I think the author is a modest and rigorous person in his studies. This part only begins to state the special significance of the arrangement of five articles in Sima Qian's Historical Records, and gives examples in turn, such as the twelve in the twelve chapters. Firstly, the author explains the importance of three and four numbers, which are bound to become real numbers of yin and yang of heaven and earth. 342. Due to the real product of the number of heaven and earth, 12 has a unique symbolic meaning that other numbers do not have, and has been endowed with an extremely sacred meaning of "days". Later, the author cited many examples to prove that Twelve is "the symbol and patent of the right of the son of heaven". Twelve is the symbol of the emperor. The other thirty schools, seventy biographies, ten tables and eight books are also roughly the same.
After reading this paper, I first felt the author's profound cultural background, profound and extensive understanding of literature, and the cited examples are also very in line with the viewpoints discussed. Moreover, the author's article has clear framework, clear conditions, clear thinking, orderly sentences, progressive layers and strong logic. The author knows exactly what he wants to demonstrate, what he wants, and the goal is clear. I think the author must have put a lot of effort into writing this article and consulted a lot of materials. Her rigorous and serious learning attitude is worth learning. Be sure to read more books, enrich your knowledge, cultivate your logical thinking ability, learn to think, learn to innovate and apply what you have learned. In addition, it is not a day or two to learn more excellent articles and write excellent works. This is a step-by-step process, and the important thing is persistence.
Finally, the author draws a conclusion: by examining the five figures in Historical Records one by one, it is found that the number of individuals taken by Sima Qian is an ancient mysterious number, a large number or an extreme number in a certain period or field, and the cultural connotation of each number is intrinsically related and consistent with the profound meaning given by its corresponding person and Tai Shigong. It is this "meaningful form" that embodies Sima Qian's broad mind and broad vision as a historian, is a hidden weapons that realizes the unity of five bodies and the harmony of the whole structure, bears the feelings and value orientation of Shi Gong, and is a link between man and society, nature and the universe, thus becoming an important part of his deep structure of Taoism. This is the significance of the author's elaboration of this article.
The article is the bearer of the author's thoughts and an excellent paper. I think the author needs the approval of readers and the public to let readers know what he wants to convey. An excellent paper is well-founded and clear-headed, which can gain readers' recognition and promote their own research.
