The history of human speech is a part-history of oral expression At the same time, it is also the history of how eloquence developed.
Ancient China is full of stories of extraordinary success arising from eloquence: Tang Ju, Mao Sui, Zhang Yi, Yan Zi, Zhuge Liang, all of whom made a name as successful lobbyists or diplomatic envoys by managing to defend or reverse an unfavorable situation in war through their tongue. But how does one make language more effective? How to communicate more efficiently? How can those unfamiliar with the Chinese language make use of the wisdom within it to better integrate into Chinese society?
In this episode, we invited Wu JianPeng, the founder of ZheJiang ShuGeHuiYu Eloquence Course, Wei Wei, a presenter for ShaanXi Television’s “Super Teacher”, and Jiang Fan, the chairman of the Professional Committee for Children’s Eloquence. Together, they discuss the functional aspect of language and what they believe eloquence should look like.
