Methods of argumentation. Yes: causal arguments, reasoning arguments, metaphorical arguments, and contrastive arguments.

In everything we do, we must consolidate the fundamentals, and when we look at the problem, we must find the source of the problem. This is the biggest inspiration for us. When you see some social phenomena, you should not go to the surface of these phenomena, but go deep into the roots of these problems, think about its ins and outs, and then come up with targeted measures to resolve the problems or crises.

The meaning of this phrase is that in order for the tree to grow tall, its roots must be strengthened, and if the water flows far, its springs must be dredged, and the method of comparative argument and example argument is adopted.

Causal argumentation, seeking the elders of the wood, must consolidate its roots, and those who want to flow far away must dredge its source is the method of causal argumentation.

Using an example, the translation means that I have heard that if you want a tree to grow, you must stabilize its roots, and if you want the spring water to flow far, you must dredge its source. If we want the country to be stable, we must accumulate morality and benevolence.

This is the causal argument method. Where there is a cause, there must be an effect, and where there is an effect, there must be a cause. All things are mutually reinforcing. Okay, that's all for today's lesson.

Wei Zheng Introduction: Wei Zheng (580 February 11, 643), the name Xuancheng, Julu Quyang[1] people, Tang Dynasty politicians, thinkers, writers and historians, because of his outspoken advice, assisted Tang Taizong to jointly create the great cause of "Zhenguan Zhizhi", was called "a generation of famous ministers" by later generations. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan (643), Wei Zheng fell ill and died.

The official is the doctor of Guanglu, named Zheng Guogong, and his nickname is "Wenzhen". The funeral was simple. In the same year, he entered the Lingyan Pavilion.

He is the author of the preface to the Book of Sui, the general theory of the Book of Liang, the Book of Chen, and the Book of Qi. His remarks are mostly seen in "Zhenguan Political Leaders". One of the most famous and handed down is the list of admonitions ---Ten Thoughts of Emperor Taizong".

Wei Zheng's mausoleum is located in Liquan County, Shaanxi Province.

The background of the creation of "Ten Thoughts of Emperor Taizong": Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, followed his father Li Yuan to fight bravely and live a frugal life when he was against the Sui. In 627 A.D., Li Shimin ascended the throne and changed the concept of Yuan Zhen.

In the early years of Zhenguan, he learned from the lessons of the fall of Emperor Yang of Sui, further maintained a frugal and prudent style, and implemented many policies that were conducive to the national economy and the people's livelihood. After more than ten years of governance, the economy has been developed, the people's lives have become richer, coupled with the consolidation of border defense, there is nothing to do inside and outside, Tang Taizong gradually forgot his luxury, overhauled temples and palaces, sought treasures, traveled around, and worked hard and lost money. Wei Zheng was extremely worried about this, he clearly saw that there was a hidden crisis behind the prosperity, and from March to July of the eleventh year of Zhenguan (637), "the four sparse frequently, with Chen gains and losses", "Ten Thoughts of Emperor Taizong" is the second sparse, so it is also called "the second sparse on current politics".

Tang Taizong suddenly woke up when he saw it, and wrote "Answering Wei Zheng's Edict", saying that he had changed his ways. This article was put on the desk by Taizong and enshrined as a motto. In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Wei Zheng published "Ten Gradual and Unrestrained Final Sparseness", pointing out that Taizong's behavior in ten aspects was not as cautious as in the early stage, and was written by Taizong on the screen.
