Who can stop talking except the dumb? Some people say it at this time and don't say it at that time. Some people say this place, but not that place. Someone told these people, but not those people. Some people talk a lot, while others talk a little. Some people like talking, others don't. The mute didn't say anything, but there was Yiyi's voice, gesticulating. Talking is not an easy task. Talking every day does not necessarily mean talking; Many people have talked all their lives and never said a few words. The so-called "debater's tongue" and "three-inch golden tongue" are evidence that things are rare; Scholars pay attention to "spit genus", so it is. We don't want to be debaters, lobbyists and literati, but life is nothing more than words, except words. The so-called worldly wisdom, half is talking. It is said in the ancient prose "Shangshu" that "only words are good, and soldiers are encouraged." The influence of a sentence is sometimes unexpected, and there are a lot of examples in history and novels. Speaking is never easier than writing, if not more difficult. Some people will say that they can't write, and some people will write and can't say. A speech is like a flowing stream, you can't scrutinize every word, and there are inevitably omissions and sloppy places, so it is better to write carefully. But those flowing nature are by no means ordinary articles and. -the article can reach such a state, it is simply empty talk theory, no longer an article. But what an elusive realm it is! Although there is a standard of "taking pen as tongue" in our articles and philosophy, how many people can really "take pen as tongue" in ancient and modern times? But the article is not very natural, but it can also become a skill, and it is impossible to speak; If you have skills in speaking, you think it's really worth seeing! I can't say how many words there are. It is slightly different: speaking to everyone, explaining and even telling books is one kind, holding meetings is one kind, public-private negotiations are one kind, court trials are one kind, and talking to reporters is one kind; -these can be called formal. Small talk between friends is also an informal conversation. You don't have to lengthen your face formally, but there are many times when you lengthen it. Such words are fragmented and sometimes prepared in advance. Only by chatting, you can go up and down from ancient times to the present and mix a meal; It is said to be mixed, natural and fragmented, except for fragments. Small talk is not preparation, it is full of conversation and improvisation. Wouldn't it be a big joke if we were going to talk later? This kind of conversation has some formulas, even small talk-"weather" is often the beginning of small talk, for example. But the formula is dead, it is not enough, and you still care about people. What you can say will make you happy, and what you can't say will make you confused, even if it is the same meaning or even the same sentence. People in China have been paying attention to their words for a long time. Zuo Zhuan, Guo Ce and Shi Shuo are our three classic stories. One is diplomatic rhetoric, the other is national talk, and the other is public talk. Look how tactfully they speak, and every word hits people's hearts. There is also a dream of red mansions, in which the dialogue is relaxed and beautiful. In addition, the name of Jia Junfang in the Han Dynasty is "the quip of the world", but unfortunately only this praise is left to us. Liu Jingting's storytelling in Ming Dynasty is very famous, but unfortunately we can't appreciate it either. In recent years, the new literature has Europeanized the vernacular, borrowed many vivid and delicate expressions from foreign languages, and hinted that we will chew some old expressions again. This gives our language a new flavor and new strength. Combined with the difficulties in speaking these years, ordinary newspapers have become smart and know how to express themselves in a sideways, negative and crevice way. This is an inevitable good training for readers; They are more and more sensitive, and only sensitive people can appreciate the subtle taste of chewing. The art of speaking has indeed made great progress in this period. On the writing of speaking art, it seems that only Han Fei's "Speaking South" is famous in the past, which is a carefully analyzed writing. However, now we have many clever police works, such as Lu Xun's Debate. This can prove that what I said is quite progressive. China people have the highest attitude towards talking, but if Zen "teaches" people to "hang their mouths on the wall", talking is inevitable. Secondly, be cautious, taciturn and speak slowly. There is a difference between these three: being careful in speaking means being careful in speaking, and naturally speaking less and making fewer mistakes. Silence means talking less, which is a deep or quiet character or moral character. Speaking too slowly is unable to speak, which is a vigorous and upright character or moral character. These two kinds are mostly generated. The third is rhetoric or rhetoric. A sincere gentleman, the power of personality penetrates all the haze, needless to say, and speaks without modification. Only pay attention to decoration, full of hype, and the spear and halberd in the belly are looming, which is the so-called villain; He is too good at dressing up, which is unbelievable. His trick will be exposed one day. We are ordinary people in between. Without that great courage, we won't forget ourselves. We just can't ignore the world. We look at time, place and people, and modify our words with courtesy and interest. There is no strength here, only wit; Real power can't be gained by decoration. All we can hope is: talk less and talk more.
