PRC Bureaucratese — 中共黨政公文體
Transform text into PRC party-state bureaucratese (中共公文體, 黨政公文體) — the
distinctive institutional writing style of Mainland China's Party documents,
government reports, news bulletins, and leaders' speeches. The result should read
like a People's Daily editorial, a State Council notice, or a provincial Party
work report — abundant in formulaic phrases, parallel four-character couplets,
numerical slogans, and New-Era ideological vocabulary.
This is a stylistic transformation tool. It is not an endorsement of any
political program — the goal is to faithfully reproduce the recognizable rhetorical
texture of a real institutional register, in the same way this repo's other skills
reproduce Taiwan Mandarin, HK Chinese, or Classical Chinese without endorsing those
communities. Use it for creative writing, satire, historical simulation, rhetorical
analysis, or translation comparison.
A word on 黨八股
Mao Zedong's 1942 essay《反對黨八股》identified eight "crimes" of party writing:
empty talk, posturing, obliviousness to audience, tedium, alphabet-list structure,
irresponsibility, poisoning the party, harming country and people. Ironically the
very features Mao denounced — formulaic phrases, empty abstraction, posturing
grandiosity — became the defining texture of PRC institutional writing in the
decades that followed. This skill reproduces that texture. Readers familiar with
Mao's essay will notice the self-parody; it is intentional.
Arguments
$0 — (Optional) Path to a markdown or text file. If omitted, ask for inline text
or find the most recent text in conversation context.
Step 1: Load the Text
- If
$0 is provided, read the file.
- If no argument, find the most recent text in the conversation, or ask the user.
- The input can be any Chinese text (rewrite in bureaucratese), any language
(translate to Mandarin then transform), or English (translate to Mandarin then
transform).
Step 2: Apply PRC Bureaucratese Patterns
Apply the rules below systematically. Goal: at Medium+, every clause should carry
at least one bureaucratese marker — an adverb-verb stack, a parallel four-character
phrase, a nominalized abstraction, or a template formula. Bureaucratese is
maximally formulaic — unlike most registers, repetition and predictability are
features, not bugs.
This skill targets PRC 2010s-2020s New Era style as the primary register,
while covering continuous traditions from earlier decades. Heavy mode leans fully
into contemporary Xi-era discourse (新時代, 中國式現代化, 新發展格局).

Step 3: Produce PRC Bureaucratese Output
Apply the checklist to transform the text. Bureaucratese tolerates — even
encourages — redundancy and formulaic repetition; don't try to make it "tight" or
"clean". Lean into the stacked modifiers, parallel lists, and template closings.
Intensity Levels
Each rule is tagged with its minimum intensity.
| Level | Active Rules | Effect |
|---|
| Light | V1-V3 (基本動詞/副詞/名詞), T3-T4 (連接/強調套話基本款). No political ideology, no numerical slogans, no opening/closing templates. | 地方政府日常工作通知、部門內部紀要。官樣但不誇張。 |
| Medium (default) | Light + V4 (新時代詞彙), S1-S5 (排比/四字格/動詞堆疊/名詞化), T1-T2 (開頭結尾模板), 動詞+副詞頻繁搭配. | 部委會議紀要、省級工作報告、一般黨政公文。典型黨政公文風格。 |
| Heavy | All rules including V5 (數字化套語全開), V6 (意識形態序列), S6 (修飾詞堆疊), 完整開頭結尾模板, 多層排比. | 黨報社論、政府工作報告、重要會議通稿、經典黨八股。極度形式化。 |
If the user doesn't specify, use Medium.
Input-Specific Handling
Chinese input → Bureaucratese:
- Replace ordinary verbs with V1 action verbs; replace nouns with V3 abstract
nouns.
- Stack V2 adverbs before verbs.
- Add S1 parallel triples or S4 verb stacks at major transition points.
- At Medium+, insert V4 New-Era vocabulary where topically fitting; add S2
four-character couplets.
- At Heavy, open with T1 ideological framing and close with T2 patriotic formula;
include V5 numerical slogans and V6 ideological canon where topically justified.
Non-Chinese input → Bureaucratese:
- Translate to standard Mandarin first.
- Apply the transformation pipeline above.
Step 4: Output
- File output: Save to
_bureaucratese suffix (e.g., article.md →
article_bureaucratese.md). If no file was provided, output directly in
conversation.
- Show 3-5 representative sentence pairs comparing Original and Bureaucratese.
- List applied patterns: Note which major pattern groups (V/S/T) were most
active.
- Glossary / canonical terms: List any numerical slogans, ideological
terms, or template formulas used, with brief paraphrase.
Important Notes
- This is a stylistic transformation tool for creative writing, satire,
simulation, and rhetorical analysis.
- PRC bureaucratese is a real institutional register — the everyday writing
style of People's Daily, the State Council, and Party documents. The skill
reproduces the style faithfully, which means the output will sound exactly
like 黨八股 at Heavy mode. That's the intended output.
- Not a political statement. Using the skill to transform a text into
bureaucratese is no more a political endorsement than using
wenyan-xianqin
endorses Warring States philosophy. Treat the style as a cultural-linguistic
object.
- Numerical slogans are canonical — do not paraphrase. 四個全面, 五位一體,
兩個維護 have fixed forms. Reproduce them exactly or not at all.
- Comic/absurd outputs are expected when transforming trivial inputs
(recipe, personal diary, children's story). This mismatch of register and
content is one of the skill's most useful applications — for satire, for
teaching rhetorical analysis, or for demonstrating the compositional
hollowness of pure-form writing.
- Distinct from
roc-bureaucratese-classic (1960s-80s ROC official style).
That skill draws on Classical Chinese flavor (著即/仰即/爰/茲/台端/查照);
this one draws on post-1942 Marxist-Leninist party language. They share the
genus of "Chinese bureaucratese" but differ fundamentally in lexicon and era.
- Echoes of 毛澤東《反對黨八股》are deliberate. The ironic intertextuality —
Mao's 1942 critique becoming the very style this skill reproduces — is part of
the historical texture users should appreciate.
- When in doubt, think: "Would this appear in a People's Daily editorial or a
government work report?" That's the register we target.
