According to the Book of Expulsion, Qin Shihuang was encouraged by some courtiers at that time, thinking that all foreign talents would consume Qin like Zheng, so he issued the Order of Expulsion. At this time, the sleek courtier Reese couldn't sit still. Obviously, he tried his best to find a teacher to learn politics, climbed to the emperor's side, and was about to be kicked down. Reese disagreed, so he wrote to the emperor. The emperor was also shocked by this hit the nail on the head article and abolished the "marching orders".
? Li Jian resisted gold and was dismissed; Han Yu advised the emperor not to win, and the so-called Buddha bone was also relegated. And how charming is the book of exhortation and expulsion, enough to make the suspicious Qin Shihuang withdraw the expulsion order?
At the beginning, "I heard that officials said they would expel guests, but I thought it was too much." I blamed the mistake on the official to avoid being killed. Qin Shihuang took "filial piety" and "benefiting the king" as examples to appoint talents to achieve the emperor's career, and emphasized Ke Qing's contribution, which was in a dilemma. Then it discusses that the treasures and beauties popular in Qin dynasty came from different places, but Qin Shihuang couldn't put them down, but refused them with both hands, which made the emperor feel the "double standard" of his positive and negative arguments. The metaphor of "Mount Tai" and "River" shows that the emperor's expulsion of guests violates the way of nature and is very unfavorable to the accumulation of national strength. Finally, the threat of "stealing food with soldiers" in disguise will enhance the strength of other countries, weaken the strength of their own countries, point out the harm of expelling guests, and make Qin Shihuang, who values national interests, have to agree. Reese's last record completely convinced the old emperor.
This article has to be applauded, which also shows that Reese has a unique method in writing letters. A little carelessness will lead to fire, and this article just avoids the thunder point. The narrative is not verbose, and there are not many complaints and personal feelings. From the emperor's point of view, it is reasonable to see the problem, pay attention to national interests, and have an appetite for Qin Shihuang. By using examples, comparisons and analogies, this paper highlights the importance of Hakka ministers and writes about the harm of brain drain, which is related to which emperor is indifferent to state affairs. After this action, it will be "step by step"
I think this perfect technique can also be applied to our daily writing, that is, our articles are no longer boring, but rigorous and smooth, catching people's attention. The language art in our daily conversation, comments and debates can also absorb the essence of the skills in the book of exhortation and expulsion, and we can also "spit lotus flowers" when encountering "leverage" to convince people.
In a word, The Book of Persuasion and Expulsion is a rare and good article in Qin Dynasty, and it is a logical and clear argumentation template. Recognizing the language characteristics of classical Chinese and learning skills from it is the success of reading classical Chinese.
