There has been a kind of error correction paste since ancient times, which used to be called yellow paste system. In other words, the imperial edict of the Tang Dynasty was written in yellow paper. When there are mistakes in official documents that need to be corrected, the same yellow paper is used to cover them up. This system has been used for several generations.

Sticky yellow system, also known as sticky yellow and mortgage yellow. It was the first official document error correction system in Tang Dynasty. Ye Mengde in Song Dynasty wrote in Misty Rain in Shilin: "Changing the Tang system and pasting it with paper is called pasting yellow. Cover the book with yellow paper, and the sticker will be yellow paper. "

Main information:

The yellow paste system originated in Tang and Song Dynasties and flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, the yellow paste system was very popular and became a supplementary explanation to the throne. Until the early Ming dynasty, there were still names such as rhubarb, yellow, inner yellow and outer yellow, and the number of words even exceeded the memorial itself.

In the Qing Dynasty, both the ordinary edition and the punishments edition presented by local governments were pasted with yellow stickers, but only the punishments edition was pasted with yellow stickers. Sticking to the theme of "sticking to the general idea of this edition and summarizing it as yellow stickers" is actually the brief content of this chapter.

The number of words is generally around 100 words, written in black and white, and the font is the same as the title book. The Chinese version of the general edition is handed over to the Chinese version room of the cabinet. Usually, the Chinese version is translated into Manchu by the Chinese version room. After full room review, it is copied into the original Manchu and attached to the Chinese part of the general edition. So that the emperor can read.
