元末明初的文学家陶宗仪,晚年担任教育官员,还抽时间从事农耕,耕余憩于树下仍不忘写作,想起什么,见到什么或听到什么,立即摘取身边的树叶录之,回家后贮存在一种口小腹大的瓦罐里。就这样年复一年,10年之中竟积下10几罐。后来,他把瓦罐一个个打开,取出平时积累的树叶,一张张重新加以修改整理,一共抄录成30卷。这就是“积叶成章”、脍炙人口《辍耕录》。 这个故事告诉我们,写作虽在一时,而积累材料全在平时,没有经常的积累、丰富的储备,想 Tao Zongyi, a writer at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, served as an education official in his later years. He also spent time working on farming. He still worked under the trees and still forgot to write. He remembered what he saw, what he saw or heard, and immediately picked up the leaves around him. After returning home, it was stored in a large, small abdominal tank. In this way year after year, 10 cans were accumulated in 10 years. Later, he opened the jars one by one. He took out the leaves he had accumulated. He revamped them one by one and copied them into 30 volumes. This is the “leaving of leaves into a chapter,” and the population of “Tong farming record.” This story tells us that although the writing was done at one time, and the accumulated materials were all in peacetime, there was no regular accumulation and abundant reserves.
