Writing style can be understood as the style of the article or the atmosphere of the article. Style is what literature pursues, while atmosphere is often what literature needs to change. A mature writer is marked by the formation of their personal literary style, which is a popular trend within a certain period of time. From a broader perspective, all articles should pay attention to style and writing style. Good writing style should be advocated and learned. What impressed me the most was the preface written by Ye Shengtao for "Xidi Shuhua", which recorded his youth working and browsing bookstores with Wang Boxiang and Zheng Zhenduo in Shanghai. Wang Boxiang purchased common academic books, while Zheng Zhenduo sought rare and valuable ancient books. Ye Shengtao described Zheng Zhenduo as "often flipping through books in the bookstore, only to find nothing. He was a little angry and murmured, 'Damn it, there's not a single book!' A shelf full of books didn't seem like books to him." He vividly portrayed Zheng Zhenduo's characteristics as a book collector and scholar, as well as his personality traits. Ye Shengtao's classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese maintain the same style. Ye Shengtao also wrote a "Book Nest Record" for Wang Boxiang's study "Book Nest", describing Wang Boxiang's diligent collection of books: "Like magpies carrying branches, like swallows carrying mud, not feeling tired." He also wrote a "Preface to the Index of the Thirteen Classics", which is also in classical Chinese, with a similar style. I am also engaged in the work of ancient books, and I sincerely love these three texts by Ye Shengtao about book collection and indexing. The writing style is so simple, although the two articles are in classical Chinese, they read like vernacular Chinese. I often need to write articles introducing some book collectors from different dynasties, but they are in the form of textbooks and cannot leave a lasting impression on readers. I strongly feel that the current academic papers have formed an unbreakable so-called standardized style, which I call the "journal style". It goes without saying that this "journal style", after undergoing numerous trials and tribulations, is very useful for expressing scientific research results. However, as a writing style, it is monotonous and lacks individuality, resulting in a lack of aesthetic function and inability to attract readers to read. It can only be used as a reference for scholars when writing papers and works. I once recommended Wang Guowei's paper "On the Purification of Frost and the Purification of Fields" to students. This paper argues that the "July" poem in the Book of Songs depicts the scene of "September's purification of frost and October's purification of fields" in the autumn of September, with a clear and refreshing atmosphere. 'Su Shuang' and 'Di Chang' are both connected words and have nothing to do with their literal meanings. At the end of the article, it is said that he came from the south to the north. "At the turn of the ninth month, the sky is high and the sun is shining, and all the leaves of the trees are falling off, because he will have the wonderful language of 'clearing frost' and 'cleansing the field'. This not only observes reality from a scientific perspective, but also elevates literary style from a literary perspective, giving people a sense of aesthetic enjoyment. I hope we can build such a realm of scientific research papers, a beautiful academic realm. (New Society)
