Features: One of the series "Speech Culture in China and Foreign," this book is guided by logic, based on linguistics, and supported by famous and successful argumentation examples from ancient and modern China and the world. The author's fundamental approach is to elaborate principles, analyze examples, and teach methods, summarizing and refining dozens of argumentation techniques and arts. It forms a methodology reader that integrates philosophical depth, dialectical thinking, and entertainment, aiming to enhance readers' argumentation skills, artistic taste, and language expression abilities, thereby developing multiple intelligences and improving various capabilities. It is worth reading. Numerous argumentation examples from all over the world throughout history and modern times prove that whether it is logical cleverness or the skillful use of logic in fallacy, there is often "trickery" in cleverness and cleverness in trickery. Both cleverness and trickery are manifestations of wisdom and the creation of wisdom. Just like the humor technique in argumentation, it can violate logical principles to substitute concepts, misinterpret cause and effect, leading to absurdity, yet making the other party not perceive it as wrong but rather find it amusing, effortlessly achieving its argumentation goals and demonstrating the wisdom of the arguer.
