Features: It is commonly believed that the rhetorical "art" was established in ancient Greece and has been passed down through generations in Western culture, while ancient China lacks this rhetorical "art." Chinese classics are argumentative in various senses, and studying them from the perspective of dialectics can be highly beneficial. Although China lacks a long-standing tradition of rhetoric, the Chinese people have extensively discussed the importance of language and the power of words. If we consider it as a valid alternative to Western rhetorical art and examine it in detail, it would be very worthwhile. Interpreting the He Guanzi from the Perspective of Dialectics provides both traditional and modern academic evaluations of the He Guanzi and acts as a "matchmaker" between the He Guanzi and "dialectics."
