Abstract:

Editing behavior derives from the editors’ internal cultural poetics imagination and intellectual conception.
An editor plays the role of a reader as well as a writer. The editor’s reading and understanding is prospective, correlative
and imaginative. Just like “ deviation” of annotation permitted by linguistic rhetoric, the unscrambling is to create an
editorial text; the editor extracts a certain element from the form or subject of original works so as to reach the symbolic
permutation and then constitute rhetoric between texts and reading. Due to the authoring language’s relativity, directive
functions of editing symbols present rhetoric nature with constraint, its “ indication system at the second level” is a wonderful embodiment of editing rhetoric.
