About this title

Synopsis

基于多种原因，中国古代的人们提笔书写自我：让亲人知道自己的近况，记录旅行中的经历，为自己辩护、鸣不平，表达对自己能力的骄傲或对生活的失望，抑或说出自己著书立说的缘由。许多写作者会用幽默的语言描述自己的缺点，而那些为子孙后代写作的人则往往采用严肃的语气。一些人用诗歌表达自己的情感，另一些人则用散义。 此书选取了西周至清末3000年问的50篇关于“自我书写”的作品，分列在29个话题之下。这些作品讲述的故事，往往生动且引人人胜。它们的作者包括男性和女性，既有名垂青史的人物，也有普通百姓。有些相当简短，另一些则要长得多。这些作品将引领读者走近他人的世界，并激发大家对各种问题的讨论，包括自我意识的觉醒、与他人的联系、家庭生活的情感基调，以及各级官员的关心照顾，等等。每个话题均有一篇导言和拓展阅读书目，可以帮助读者们更好地理解这些作品。
