Abstract
The memorial to the emperor is a form of official document in ancient China.In the Southern Dynasties,under the influence of the general social mood and other literary forms,such memorials gradually assumed the tendency of antithesis.Burgeoning in Wei Dynasty,this process developed in Jin Dynasty,steadied down in Liu-Song Dynasty and reached its peak in Liang-and Chen Dynasties.This paper observes its evolution with the analyses of the 26 memorials taken from the Collected Works of Antithetical Proses from the aspects of distich,allusion,words and phonology.
