序,现在一般指书序。书序是写在一本书或材料前,说明该书或材料的来历、写作意图、主要内容、编次体例。阅读方法、作者情况等,起着介绍、推荐作用的文章。而赠序是表示对某人的推荐、赞贺、勉励的赠别文章。可见两者截然不同。与书序截然不同的赠别文章,为什么也叫序呢?其实赠序在其发展过程中,与书序有着密切的联系。 Preface, now generally refers to the book order. The book sequence is written in front of a book or material, explaining the origin, writing intentions, main contents, and sub-cases of the book or material. The reading method, the author’s situation, etc., serve as articles for introduction and recommendation. The gift order is a gift for someone’s recommendation, praise, and encouragement. It can be seen that the two are completely different. Why don’t the gift articles, which are very different from the book sequence, be called order? In fact, the gift order has a close connection with the book order in its development process.
