How are quips different from records kept by Europeans and Asian societies at around the same time?

1 answer

Quips are typically short, witty or humorous remarks or comments made in passing conversation. They are not formal records or historical documents, but rather snippets of casual language. In contrast, records kept by Europeans and Asian societies at around the same time were typically formal documents that served as detailed accounts of events, transactions, laws, and other important information. These records were often written in a more formal and structured manner, and were intended to provide a comprehensive and accurate record of society at that time. Quips, on the other hand, were more informal and spontaneous expressions of thoughts or opinions.
