China had written characters as early as the Xia Dynasty, the first dynasty of slave society, and it gradually matured in the Yin and Shang Dynasties. After the appearance of writing, it is mainly used to record major events, retain experience and give orders, which can also be said to be the bud of literature. In ancient society, people had to engage in agricultural production in order to survive. Therefore, people are extremely concerned about astronomy, meteorology, experience of agricultural production activities, water conservancy knowledge and the richness and deficiency of their times, and are eager to know. In order to increase their knowledge and ability in this field, people recorded various natural phenomena observed and formed some earliest notes on agriculture, water conservancy, astronomy and meteorology. Obviously, literature, as the most abstract and rational representative of human civilization factors, is the product of the development of civilization factors at a certain stage. The knowledge and content recorded in literature not only accumulate huge information resources and cultural heritage for human beings, but also provide people with rich experience in understanding society and nature, thus gaining development, which will inevitably lead to the preservation of people's ideas and the accumulation of consciousness. As Japanese scholar Ando said: "The reason why a civilized society is called a civilized society lies in that people can preserve the original information as the source of' human memory' after it is used, and play a role in new creative activities and social development repeatedly." The original historical documents of human society (such as Oracle Bone Inscriptions's books) are produced under the guidance of this understanding. According to historical records, in the rooms of the Yin royal family in the 3rd century BC/KLOC-0, there were specialized literature institutions and places to preserve literature and history materials. In the Zhou Dynasty, with the improvement of state institutions and management systems, a relatively complete document system and document historical data storage institution-Tianfu appeared. At that time, the imperial edict stipulated that Tianfu was responsible for receiving and keeping all the precious treasures of the country and important historical documents of the imperial court, counties and counties, and regarded them as national treasures, and moved with the capital of the dynasty. Laozi, the philosophical ancestor of the Taoist school in China, was the Tibetan keeper in charge of Tianfu in the Zhou Dynasty, that is, the official who managed the documents and archives. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucius, a great cultural saint in China, went to Zhou State to borrow documents and files from Lao Zi. At the same time, he also made use of the historical documents preserved in the old countries of Shandong, Qi, Song and Ping, sorted out and deleted six famous works praised by later generations as "Six Classics", which made outstanding contributions to the development of China culture.

The history of literature development shows that it is always in the process of constantly adapting to the needs of human political, economic and cultural development, that is to say, "the change and development of secretarial work are always closely linked with the times." Whether in slave society or feudal society, the development level of literature can reflect the development of social productive forces and culture, science and technology to a certain extent. China culture has several main stages of development. In fact, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the first period of great changes in China's cultural exchanges, and this period was the most brilliant page in the cultural development of China. Most theories in the contention of a hundred schools of thought are closely related to literature and classics. At that time, due to social changes, original documents and classics were stored in the Zhou Dynasty. Some of them are scattered in vassal States, but most of them have been scattered among the people. The "scholars" who wrote books and founded schools are more actively engaged in the collection, collation and compilation of literary and historical classics. "History" has a history of literature and promotes writing, so there are various private institutions that collect and preserve literature and classics. At the same time, the vassal States also set up literature institutions, forbidden rooms and other literature and history museums to collect all kinds of literature and classics. The royal family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Lu, Chu and Song were all cultural centers at that time, so the documents were complete and the literature and history books were preserved the most. This can be seen from Laozi's extensive use of literary and historical classics of Shandong, Song and other countries and Confucius' work of compiling and studying Shang and Zhou cultures. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is an important period for the development of China culture, as well as for the development of ancient documents. The situation in which a hundred schools of thought contend not only promotes the prosperity of social culture, but also creates conditions for secretaries to remain serious and sprout the idea of "historical rights" in which good and evil are hidden.
The motive of the development of China's ancient historiography is to consolidate the position of the rulers, but historiography has played an important role in the formation and development of China's ancient civilization. Once historiography rises, it is closely related to literature. "The official history of ancient dynasties in China is basically based on documents and archives and their secondary processed documents, such as Ju Ju Zhu and Shi Lu. And the conferences and' ten links' of past dynasties are based on documents and archives, and some are even collections of documents and archives. " Due to the close relationship between historiography and literary historical materials, the compilation of China's historical works in past dynasties, the compilation of large-scale series and books, the collation of historical documents and the publication of poetry collections will all lead to the increase in the utilization of historical materials, thus promoting the continuous improvement and development of China's secretariat institutions. The Tang Dynasty is another important period for China's political, economic and cultural development, and also the heyday of China's ancient historical research. Among the Twenty-four Histories, Jin History, Northern History, Liang Shu, Chen Shu, Northern Shu Qi, Zhou Shu, Sui Shu and Southern History were all written in the Tang Dynasty. The historical books compiled in this period are also quite rich, such as Records of the Emperors, National History of the Tang Dynasty, biographical Tang Li, Tang Chunqiu and so on. In order to compile historical works, the secretaries in the Tang Dynasty greatly surpassed their predecessors in imperial edicts, drafting imperial edicts and collecting, sorting and compiling historical documents. According to historical records, in order to do a good job in secretarial work, the Tang Dynasty made a number of legal provisions on clerical work, clearly pointing out that the central and local departments must submit abstracts of documents and materials such as policy formulation, institutional setup, social economy, public security and justice, foreign tribute, astronomical calendar and natural disasters to the central government for the record. At the same time, the imperial court also set up clerical officers such as "Zhang Gu" and "Dian Shu", who were responsible for sorting out, editing and copying historical documents. Therefore, the achievements of clerical work in the Tang Dynasty reached its peak. The development of clerical work was not only the result of the dedication and diligence of secretarial staff at that time, but also closely related to the high development of social politics, economy and culture at that time.
Throughout the ages, literature and classics have been used for extensive cultural research and academic exchanges. As early as the Zhou dynasty, official learning rose, and Taishiliao, a secretariat institution with a large number of documents and classics, was the learning institution at that time. The ruling class uses the literature and classics accumulated for many years as teaching materials to educate their children and let them learn cultural knowledge and experience in governing the country. This is the ancient saying that "learning is in the official" and "the integration of officials and teachers", which represents the basic characteristics of China's early social education. Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Western Han Dynasty, ordered the construction of the "Shiqu Pavilion" to collect the literature and classics of the Qin Dynasty. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "Oriental View" was specially set up to collect and keep the current documents and materials of the central government. This is the place where Confucianism recognizes the Five Classics, collates books and writes books. Historians such as Confucius, Li and Liu Zhiji who collect central documents and classics of the Tang Dynasty often come and go here. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Dabentang, Houhu Huangce Museum, Ancient and Modern Library, Huangshibi and Cabinet Museum were all world-renowned institutions of dynasty literature, and the high level of academic research was praised by the world, especially the Cabinet Museum, which "collected the strategies of past dynasties and sealed the case files". Here, the Qing Dynasty organized a huge academic team, which not only compiled and published masterpieces such as Integration of Ancient and Modern Books, Sikuquanshu, General Examination of Imperial Examination, Clear Rules, General Records of Past Dynasties, General Records of Past Dynasties and General Records of Qing Dynasty. The compilation of these books is mostly based on documents and classics, especially the compilation of general plans, which is entirely based on the documents formed from the beginning to the end of a military operation. There are eleven strategies compiled by Qianlong at one time. In the Qing dynasty, I published a large number of historical works; He made outstanding contributions to the development of ancient historiography in China. On the one hand, it reflects the court's emphasis on historical research, on the other hand, it also shows the richness of royal documents and the high level of research.
Under the specific political and economic conditions in ancient China; The documents and classics of imperial court and local government are scattered in folk and temple views and collected, which has become an important system for the accumulation, preservation, collation and dissemination of social and cultural products. Like the government, they not only collect ancient books, but also organize, write and publish them. They are responsible for cultural exchange, information dissemination and preservation of ancient documents, and have made special contributions to the development of China culture. Taking the literature and classics collected in temples as an example, the descendants of translation works such as astronomy, mathematics, architecture, sculpture, painting and medicine in Buddhist books have promoted academic exchanges between China and the outside world. In terms of language and literature, the declarative learning in Buddhism and its elegant letters have played a powerful catalytic role in the emergence of China's phonology. It is the "second thoughts" and "burning thoughts" in the spread of Buddhism that make the tumbling Buddhist scriptures become catchy China pop songs. In this regard, even modern scholars such as Liang Qichao, Zhang Taiyan and Liang Shuming have made detailed studies. As for the Taoist literature collected by Taoist temples, it enriches the spiritual treasure house of medicine, chemistry, medicine and geography in China. It is on the basis of the collection of temple documents that China's profound Buddhist and Taoist thoughts have exerted considerable influence on neighboring countries such as Japan, Korea, Singapore, Vietnam, Europe and America.
To sum up, we can generally understand that China's ancient documents have a great influence on the development of China culture. Brilliant ancient documents not only enriched human culture, but also realized the exchange, inheritance and innovation of documents through the dissemination and utilization of ancient documents, literature and history classics and their networks and media, which played an irreplaceable role in the cultural development of China.
