《国语》和《左传》是我国先秦时代两部很有史料价值和文学成就的著作。二者相比,在思想内容上大体一致,都具有以民为本、崇尚礼仪、揭露暴君丑行和颂扬爱国壮举的思想倾向。在表现形式上则不相同,《国语》是以记言为主的国别体,语言风格较为质朴;《左传》是以记事为主的编年体,语言风格较有文采。 “Mandarin” and “Zuo Zhuan” are two works of great historical value and literary achievement in the pre-Qin period in our country. Compared with the two, they are generally identical in ideological content, and all have the ideological orientation of taking people as the basis, respecting the etiquette, exposing the tyranny of the tyrant, and praising the feat of patriotism. In terms of manifestations, “Guoyu” is a country body mainly composed of memoirs, and its language style is rather rustic. “Zuo Zhuan” is a chronological body mainly composed of memoirs, and its style of writing is rather verse.
