From the perspective of rhetoric itself, it is not necessary to use rhetoric to solve practical problems and clarify truth. The key lies in whether rhetorical modification conforms to the norms. Quezi, as a figure of the school of strategists, can put forward rhetorical thoughts that are contrary to the school.
