Idiom story

Li Jing, the word Shi Hui. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was a scholar and a censor. He was very eloquent and well written. Seeing that the articles since the Six Dynasties were often flashy, he decided to write to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, hoping to change the style of writing at that time by issuing decrees. When he made up his mind, he began to write. Li Yan's "please write the text style book" was finally finished, and he read it again before playing: in the book, from Emperor Wu of Wei, Emperor Wen and Emperor Ming, they talked about their advocating the diction, not paying attention to the way of being king, but only focusing on the ornate diction. The following people follow them, make a great deal of fuss on the rhetoric, gradually form a style, and bring bad influence and harm to later generations. I hope the emperor can make a decree to change the style of writing. He felt that he had made everything clear. The next day, he handed over the memorial. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty read Li Xian's Memorial and kept nodding. When I saw that "a lot of articles do not appear in the form of the moon; the accumulation of cases is only the state of the wind and cloud", I thought: Li is right. Articles and cases of files can't talk without reciting the wind and the moon. It's really long and cumbersome. If it goes on like this, the worldly people, no matter they are noble or humble, will chant the romance, advocate the style of literature, and pursue fame and wealth! So he ordered to say, "praise Li Xian's memorial to the world. If later memorials are written, we should pay more attention to the style of writing and investigate them strictly. "
