古代王莽当政时期流传一句民谚:“力战斗,不如巧为奏。”这句话的意思是:打仗再卖力,也不如报告写得巧。在中国历史上,“巧为奏”的事是很多的。《修辞趣谈》记载这样一件事:曾国藩部下李次青,虽读过兵书,但不懂兵法,上战场屡吃败仗。曾国藩大怒,拟奏文要弹劾他,文中有“屡战屡败”一语。有个幕僚为保李次青,便在奏文递出时把“屡战屡败”改为“屡败屡战”。皇帝接到奏文一看,颇为感动,说:“屡败尚能屡战,精神可佳,真不愧为忠君之巨。”于是,李次青便免遭治罪。“巧为奏”之巧,功能之大,由此可见一斑。不幸的是,今天善于“巧为奏”者大有人在。其表现形式,也可谓五花八门,远胜古人:有的人不干实际工作,把主要精力花在如何写报告上,明明某地区某单位面貌依旧,却要编出“几大变化”;明明工 During the reign of Wang Mang an ancient folk saying goes: “The power to fight is not as good as skill.” The meaning of this sentence is: fighting hard again and again is not as clever as writing a report.

Zeng Guofan furious, intended to play the text to impeach him, the text has “repeated defeats” phrase. There is a staff member to protect Li Zijin, it was delivered in the memorial to the “repeated defeat” to “defeat”. The emperor received a reading, quite touched, saying: “repeated defeat still able to fight, the spirit of good, really worthy of loyalty giant.” “Clever as a play,” the clever, the function of large, we can see. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who are good at “cleverness” today. Its manifestations can be described as varied, far better than the ancients: Some people do not do practical work, the main focus on how to write the report, obviously a certain area of ​​a unit still looks, but to compile “several major changes”; Clearly workers
