Spring and autumn brushwork? Please give an example (classic is required).

It refers to the combination of praise and criticism with tortuous writing, without directly indicating one's attitude. BACKGROUND The main purpose of Confucius' writing history books in the Spring and Autumn Period is to be taboo for the respected, the relatives and the sages. Confucius wrote books to record the behaviors of people he didn't like in history. But people always have shortcomings, even those respected by Confucius and his relatives and sages, but there are also disgusting behaviors. If Confucius wrote down all these behaviors regardless of the willy-nilly, people's respect for "venerable persons", "relatives" and "sages" would be greatly reduced when they saw these behaviors. Therefore, saying what you should say also has a proper noun, that is, straight pen.

When Confucius wrote Spring and Autumn Annals, he originally wanted to scare the rebels with a straight pen, but after writing, he wrote so many "bent pens", which shows how difficult it is to write with a straight pen! The spring and autumn brushwork is actually a compromise and a helplessness! The history books written in this way set a precedent for writing history to serve politics, which increased the difficulty for later research.

Example: "The heavenly king was born in Heyang, and the imperial court was in the dynasty" is a typical example (see the twenty-eight years of Xi Gong in Spring and Autumn Annals). According to the understanding of the Spring and Autumn Annals, of course, the king of Zhou went hunting in Heyang, the State of Jin, and Jin Wengong immediately went to Heyang to pay tribute to the king of Zhou's palace. He wanted to follow in Qi Huangong's footsteps and "hold the emperor to make the princes". In 632 BC, he led the troops of Jin, Qi and Qin to defeat the combined forces of Chu, Chen and Cai, and then he met with the governors of the world, held a "union of practicing soil" and then a "warm meeting". In order to strengthen the two alliances, he specially recruited Zhou Wang, collected the "celebrity effect" and made himself.
