《文心雕龙·定势》
近来的作家，大都爱好奇巧。推究这种新奇的作品，是一种错误的趋势造成的。由于作家们厌弃过去的样式，所以勉强追求新奇；细看这种不正当的意向，表面上好像颇不容易，其实并没有什么好方法，不过是故意违反正常的写法而已。
自近代辞人，率好诡巧，原其为体，讹势所变，厌黩旧式，故穿凿取新，察其讹意，似难而实无他术也，反正而已。
Recently, writers mostly love novelty. Studying this kind of novel works is caused by a mistaken trend. Because writers detest the past style, they therefore force themselves to pursue novelty; looked at in detail, this improper intention, seems to be difficult on the surface, but in fact there is no good method, and it is nothing more than intentionally violating the normal writing method.
