The earliest monograph "Er Ya Shi Shi" explaining the meaning of words in China said: "I am also physically." In the pre-Qin era, "I" was the first person pronoun. Regardless of rank, everyone can call himself "I". According to Sima Qian's Records of the First Qin Emperor, after Qin and Ying Zheng unified the world, it was stipulated that "the son of heaven calls himself me." From then on, ordinary people can't call themselves "I".

The definition of "I" in Modern Chinese Dictionary is: "Before Qin Dynasty, it meant" mine "or" I ",and since Qin Shihuang, I have been devoted to being an emperor." However, there are two points to note here:

First, "I", as the first personal pronoun, is not equal to the first personal pronouns such as "Yu", "Wu" and "I" in the pre-Qin period. As Mr. Gu Jiegang and Mr. Liu Qigui pointed out in On Proofreading and Translation: "I-Oracle Bone Inscriptions only use the singular first person possessive case, that is,' my'." Such as "Shu Shun Dian": "You are worried about me." It means: "You are my official in charge of Yamazawa." "Da Dingyu" (bronze inscription): "Do not nullify my orders". It means: "Don't abandon my instructions." Li Sao: "My Emperor Kao Boyong." My father's name is Boyong. "

Some people may say that there is a saying "I won't break my word" in Shangshu Tang Shi. It means: "I can't keep my promise." Xu Shen explained "I" in Shuowen Zhoubu: "I also". Don't these all prove that the pre-Qin "I" can also be equated with the later "Yu", "I" and "I"? We believe that this book "Shangshu Tang Shi" is not the original, and it will be falsified by future generations. After the Qin fire, it is very likely that the Han Dynasty will be marked only by the dictation of Confucian scholars in the Western Han Dynasty. Xu Shen is a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so it is even more difficult to understand the meaning of the pre-Qin period.

Second, the word "I" has been a special word for emperors since Qin Shihuang. This is a common situation, but there is a special situation, that is, if the Supreme Queen Mother can also call herself "I". For example, Records of Shang Zhou in the Later Han Dynasty: "The Queen Mother said,' The emperor is regretful at his young age, and I will assist him in listening to politics. "

In the composition, the candidates usually draw up their own topics, which should not be too long or too short. There are two ways to raise a topic. First of all, you can go to Baidu to search for a composition topic, and you can find similar skills that the composition teacher said. Second, parents or candidates should turn over the bound volumes of Reader and Youth Digest in the last year, select dozens of wonderful topics according to the subject matter, and memorize them, so that they may be used in the exam.
