Editor's review

Now in its third edition, this textbook on official document writing is distinguished by its close alignment of writing training with civil service examination requirements. The first half explains each type of official document with annotated sample texts so readers can understand the standards through comparison; each section is followed by basic knowledge exercises and simulated training to strengthen practical skills. The second half adds fundamentals of the essay-style examination (shenlun), answering techniques and methods, linking course study with exam preparation. The third edition updates cases and documents and improves the answers to end-of-chapter exercises for self-study. The structure is clear and combines instruction with practice, suiting readers who need to master official document formats and standards in a relatively short time while also preparing for the shenlun exam. Practice-driven reading works best: review the sample texts first, then write imitations.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Students majoring in public administration, secretarial studies, and related fields at universities who are taking official document writing courses
  • Exam candidates preparing for the civil service examination who need to train both official document writing and essay (shenlun) skills
  • Newly hired staff in government agencies, enterprises, and public institutions who need to quickly get up to speed with official document writing

Not a good fit for

  • Research-oriented readers who wish to study official document theory or the history of official documents in depth
  • Senior secretaries who have already mastered official document writing and seek only advanced stylistic improvement

Reading tips

  1. Read the sample documents and commentary first, then close the book and write imitations based on similar prompts, and finally revise against the answer key.
  2. Complete each section's exercises as timed training to simulate exam pacing and build writing speed.
  3. Read the shenlun section alongside the official document section to identify similarities and differences in structure and language between the two genres.

FAQ

Is this book suitable for self-studying official document writing from zero?
Yes. The book explains each type of official document one by one, with sample documents and commentary, and includes basic exercises and simulated training after each section. The third edition has improved the exercise answers, so readers starting from zero can read and practice, check their own work, and gradually master the basic essentials.
Can the shenlun content in this book replace a dedicated shenlun textbook?
Not entirely. What this book adds is basic shenlun knowledge, answering techniques, and methods; its focus is on strengthening the practicality of the official document writing course and its connection to the civil service examination. It can serve as introductory and supplementary material, but for systematic exam preparation, a dedicated shenlun textbook is still recommended.
What are the main updates in the third edition compared with previous editions?
According to the publication information, the third edition updates the latest cases and documents and improves the answers to the end-of-section exercises, making the sample documents closer to current official document standards and the exercises easier for readers to use for self-study and self-checking.

About the author

淳于淼泠 Author

Publicly available information on the author writing under the name Chunyu Miaoling is limited. At present, only one work, Official Document Writing (3rd Edition), is known to be included in the catalogue, and it is commonly classified under exam preparation. Judging from its subject matter, the book is likely a practical textbook aimed at learners and candidates who need to study official document writing, and the designation of a third edition suggests that the content has been revised and updated, indicating the author's continued involvement in this area. Because there is no confirmed information about the author's biography, institutional affiliation, or research focus, it is difficult to provide further details about their academic background or personal experience. Readers interested in the conventions of official documents, key writing techniques, and exam applications may refer to the book's specific chapters and structure. Overall, Chunyu Miaoling participates in organizing and disseminating knowledge of official document writing through textbook compilation, and the work occupies a place among exam-preparation titles, though a fuller picture of the author remains to be supplemented by more public information.

冯春 Author

Feng Chun: public information about this author is limited, and details such as nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background are not clearly recorded. Nevertheless, the twelve works held in the collection sketch the basic profile of a translator and editor whose work centers clearly on Russian literature, especially Pushkin and Turgenev. These include the twelve-volume Collected Works of Pushkin, the two volumes of The Complete Lyric Poems of Pushkin, and the verse novel Eugene Onegin, as well as Turgenev's A Sportsman's Sketches and Collected Works of Turgenev, along with such classics as A Hero of Our Time and Mitya's Love. Feng Chun's work is marked by systematic organization and complete translation; the renderings strive to stay close to the rhythm and emotional tone of the originals, offering Chinese readers a relatively comprehensive entry into nineteenth-century Russian literature and exerting a lasting influence on the translation and popularization of foreign literature.

祝伟 Author

Zhu Wei is a Chinese book author about whom limited public information is available. At present, he is known only as the author of one work, Official Document Writing (3rd Edition), which is classified under the examination category. Based on the available information, Zhu Wei's writing centers on the practical field of official document writing, aimed at readers who need to master document formats, writing norms, and composition skills, especially those preparing for examinations or working in administrative affairs. The appearance of a third edition indicates that the book has been revised and updated and has some continuity among similar examination-oriented titles. Official Document Writing (3rd Edition), as his representative work, reflects the author's attention to the practical teaching of official documents. Because reliable records of his birth and death dates, nationality, and professional experience are unavailable, this introduction is based solely on the in-house work information and book classification, without additional speculation about the author's life.
