Fame and Accomplishment Survive Through Writing
美好的名聲借助文章而顯揚，偉大的功業(yè)通過文章而流傳。“騰”“飛”，在這里都是傳揚的意思；“聲”指“德音”，是與德行相隨的美好名聲；“實”指成就，是循道而建的功業(yè)。南朝劉勰立足于古人所說的“三不朽”（立德、立功、立言）的人生最高目標，既視“立言”（文學創(chuàng)作）為傳揚功德的手段，又視“立言”本身為一種功德，將寫作文章的目的與文章自身的意義提升到“三不朽”的高度而融為一個有機整體。

Good reputation is spread through writing, as is great accomplishment. Here, both teng and fei stand for "soar high" and "spread far." Sheng alludes to "fame achieved through virtue," while shi refers to "accomplishment, especially that made by pursuing the correct way." Liu Xie of the Southern Dynasties championed the "three highest attainments in life" as advocated by ancient Chinese sages, namely setting moral examples, performing great deeds, and spreading noble ideas. He regarded spreading noble ideas, or literary writing, not only as a means of promoting virtue, but also a virtue in itself. Thus he elevated the act of writing to the height of virtue, on a par with the two other attainments in life.
