Features: When you want to persuade others but fail to express yourself clearly, what should you do? When you are mocked and speechless in contemporary times, what should you do? This book selects nearly a hundred successful examples of ancient orators and summarizes various rhetoric techniques from them. They were eloquent, masters of debate skills, and exquisite in the art of persuasion. With just three inches of unburnt tongue, they could either win without fighting or repel enemies at the gates; or stand firm like a pillar in a turbulent stream, turning the tide to ensure the safety of the nation; or resolve conflicts, turning swords into plowshares, saving countless lives from disaster; or subtly advise rulers to correct their mistakes; or skillfully respond to maintain personal dignity in public.
