Abstract

The writers of these modern letter textbooks possibly had a thinking that there are little motive for making effort to compose a seprate preface. The modern letter textbooks were practical books, even if there was no preface. A few prefaces of the modern letter textbooks reveal the commercial strategy to attract public attention.

The second stance was allowing and strolling the reader who had rare ability to read and write the letter in Chinese letter. The third stance was regretting and stimulating the level of writing letter. The writers of publicizing and exaggeratin stance stressed the effect of sending a letter. They said that a letter make many positive results, for example to dispel blaming, to conclude covenant etc. The writers of allowing and strolling stance stressed the cultural differences between premodern intellectual man and modern intellectual man. They said that the letter textbooks make the modern intellectual man writing the premodern letter in Chinese letter. The writers of regretting and stimulating stances stressed the intellectual man’s cultural literacy. They said that a high level of reading and writing Chinese letter ability is the precondition to be a intellectual man. However these three stances were deduced from commercial strategy.
