There were two changes in official documents in the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties.The first official document reform is Su Chuo's style reform,which is a top-down reform and belongs to Yuwen tai's Retro reform,aiming to establish Yuwen's Orthodox status;The second change was the popular style of writing in the Southern Dynasty brought by Yu Xin and Wang Bao,which made the style of official documents change consciously.The first stage is the early stage of the Western Wei Dynasty,which continued the Northern Wei Dynasty and pursued magnificence;In the second stage,after the reform of Dagao style,the official documents imitated the style of Dagao and advocated simplicity;In the third stage,after Yu Xin and Wang Bao entered the north,the style of official documents was updated and tended to be gentle.In the whole reform of official documents in the Western Wei and Northern Zhou Dynasty,the content of official documents was always convenient for the time,which also reflected the article concept of being practical in this period.Yu Xin's and Wang Bao's official documents are numerous and of high quality.Their official document creation has changed significantly since they entered the north.They pay more attention to the practicality of content while paying attention to the beauty of language form.The official documents of local writers in the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties also reflect the changes before and after the reform.Looking at the official document reform of the Western Wei and Northern Zhou Dynasty,we can find that it always maintained a simple and realistic tone,which is related to the Xianbei regime of the Western Wei and Northern Zhou Dynasty and its strong praise of Confucianism.The Xianbei regime of advocating Confucianism gave a strong force to the society at that time,and also reversed the trend of official documents to be gorgeous and floating,which promoted the late official documents to have both quality and quality.In fact,the reform of "Da Gao style" is a reform of official documents,which has no influence on pure literature.Although it was stipulated at the beginning of the reform that both "Wen" and "Bi" should be changed,only official documents were reformed in the process of implementing the reform,which shows that people began to consciously distinguish literature and official documents at that time.The Western Wei,Northern Zhou and Sui and Tang Dynasties came down in one continuous line,and the official document reform can also be regarded as the beginning of the literary style reform and the ancient prose movement in the early Sui Dynasty.
