Abstract:

Based on the existing researches on basic editing rules, the paper discusses four aspects of the editing rules, that is, research scope, theoretical definition, quantity description and language description. It argues that the research scope should be confined to the editing activity; the basic editing rules are universal for all editing activities, as general principles, they govern sub-rules, and are embodied in the concrete form of editing; it is too arbitrary to claim  that“there is only one basic editing rule”, which is not conducive to the further study of the basic editing rules; the best way to describe the basic editing rules is the“content +rule”pattern.
