The following is some information I compiled from the debate competition on whether eloquence is more important than literary talent for your reference.

The concept of eloquence

The explanation in "Modern Chinese Dictionary" is: the ability to speak nouns. An eloquent person speaks with characteristics such as: speaking with substance, speaking in an orderly manner, speaking with reason, and speaking with emotion.

Some scholars further define eloquence more clearly as: in the process of oral communication, the expressive subject uses accurate, appropriate, vivid, ingenious and effective oral expression strategies to achieve specific communication purposes and achieve success. The art and skills of oral expression for communicative effect? ??At present, based on the high-speed modern life, eloquence plays a more important role than literary talent to a certain extent. It is more in line with the pace of life in today's society and is becoming more and more popular among people. Pay attention to.

Shao Shouyi, a famous Chinese speaker, "pioneer of New China's speech career" and China's first professor of speechology, has a famous saying: "Talent does not necessarily mean eloquence, but eloquence must be talent." ?An eloquent person speaks with the characteristics of ?speaking with substance, speaking in an orderly manner, speaking with reason, and speaking with emotion? Some scholars further define eloquence more clearly as: in the process of oral communication, the expressive subject uses accurate, appropriate, vivid, ingenious and effective oral expression strategies to achieve specific communication purposes and achieve satisfactory communication effects. and skills?

The concept of literary talent

① Because of having cultural heritage and the ability to apply it to the extreme

②The ability to write poetry

The so-called dumplings are boiled in a teapot, and there is something in it that cannot be poured out. If you don’t have eloquence, no matter how much literary talent you have, you can’t express it. Therefore, eloquence is more important!

It is obvious that the words come first and the pen comes last;

There are so many talented people in Soochow that a few words can achieve three-thirds of the merit;

p>

Everyone is talking about it, this is even more terrifying. If you don’t have eloquence, no matter how much literary talent you have, you won’t be able to express it. So what's the use of having so many literary talents?

Why is it always said that showing communication skills is the key to success? This is closely related to a person's eloquence. I would like to ask the opponent's debate friends, among those formal In a debate, is it written with a pen or spoken? Isn’t this the role of eloquence? Without eloquence, what kind of debate would there be?

A person with eloquence must be People with literary talents may not necessarily have good eloquence. Literary skills are one of the basic skills of eloquence. Eloquence is the most direct and quick response to literary talents. Therefore, eloquence must be higher than just having literary talents, and it also reflects a person's mastery of skills. Language ability and overall quality, eloquence are of course more important.

Some people can talk endlessly without literary talent!! Can you say that they have no eloquence? Please note that eloquence is not for Pure debate is not about winning or losing a debate. Eloquence is about letting people understand your views, ideas and requirements, and accept your new ideas; it is not about being full of gorgeous words, gaudy and obscure! < /p>

II

The communication attribute of eloquence is that people directly affect people.

Wencai refers to the way people write poems in order to convey their opinions and feelings and give full play to their written expression talents. Therefore, the communication attribute of literary talents is that people act on things, and then act on people.

In terms of communication attributes, eloquence is more concise and effective. And eloquence is an important part of information-based social communication. Excellent eloquence can make communication more efficient, promote the further improvement of social division of labor and cooperation, and thus play a role in promoting social development.

1. Modern society is becoming increasingly close and social relations become more complex, requiring more and more positive communication between people (including face-to-face and on the phone, etc.), and eloquence has a stronger impact than literary talent. Timeliness, being able to respond reasonably to the changing reality in a timely manner, being able to demonstrate one's own characteristics more intuitively, and effectively being based on society. Just like once we encounter something critical, we will either meet or negotiate on the phone, and no one will just send an email.

2. The language communication method of eloquence is richer and more effective than literary talent, including the use of tone of voice and reasonable pauses in speech. Eloquence is more contagious and more effective than literary talent.

　3 Thirdly, those who want to be able to write must have ink in their stomachs, and those who want to be able to speak must not only have ink in their stomachs, but also have good expressive skills. For example, for a speaker, writing a speech well does not necessarily mean that the speech is well delivered. A real speaker must be good at writing as well as speaking, and must be both literary and eloquent, but in a sense, eloquence is more important than literary talent. If the speaker speaks in a haha, sloppy manner, with a long list of "this" and "that", then even if he has extraordinary wisdom and profound and extensive ideological content, it will not help.

What a person expresses is what he thinks in his heart, and speaking clearly and logically is a manifestation of strong logic.

But a person with literary talent may not necessarily be eloquent. If this is the case, even if what he has in mind is the best solution but cannot express it, sometimes it will be in vain, especially at the negotiation table.

To sum up, we believe that eloquence is more important than literary talent!!!

Summary

In the current social life of human beings, the relationship between people and The relationship between people and society is very close, so social contacts are also indispensable. As the opportunities for people to cooperate with each other increase, eloquence has become a factor that determines the success or failure of a person's life and career. What a person says every day can determine his or her daily work and life conditions, as well as his daily happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy.

There are many people who fail at eloquence in their lives. The value of what we say when we come into contact with others is easily assessed by others. (Think of examples)

Having good eloquence and speaking fluently will make people trust you with important tasks. A person who speaks fluently is very popular. He can make many people who did not know each other join hands. He can also make many people who are not interested in each other understand each other. He can help people resolve disputes and eliminate barriers between people. It can heal the sorrow and depression of others, and make everyone live a better and happier life.

Human life has reached a point where it is impossible to survive alone, and the role of language has shown that it is indispensable. No matter what environment you are in, it is impossible to avoid interacting with people, so you have to rely on talking as the medium of communication.

What is the world lacking most? Talent.

What do talents need? Eloquence.

In today's society, the competition between people is the competition of comprehensive quality. Having good eloquence also has the starting point for success. If not, how can the affirmative pass the preliminary debate? Being able to write but not speak is the biggest failure of China's English education. If you can't speak, what you learn is just a waste. Those who can write may not be able to speak, such as Han Feizi; those who can speak may not be able to write. Many people who rely on words may not necessarily be good at writing. Those who can write and speak, such as journalists and speakers, may not necessarily have top-notch literary talents. Eloquence is mostly learned through practice. Wherever one needs to speak, one needs eloquence. Wherever you need to write, you need literary talent.

May I ask whether more people need to speak or write?

May I ask whether there are more opportunities to speak or to write?

From In terms of expressiveness, whether it is "eloquence" or "literary talent", it actually reflects a kind of expression ability. In today's society, more and more people need us to "blurt out". For example, Li Yang promoted "Crazy English". Can be counted as one.

Generally speaking, people with good eloquence will not be far behind in literary talent. Therefore, good eloquence has a certain inclusive effect on literary talent. You can ask if we are debating here today. If you are As a well-educated Keba, what do you think your chances of winning are? The first impression others have of you is your appearance and your conversation. People with good eloquence will have great advantages in this regard. Literary talent is not that bad, and people with good literary talent may not necessarily have good eloquence. For example, history is the embodiment of literature. Only when it is recorded can it be spread. And speaking without proof is your weakness! Don’t say? We are debating? Such words are very detrimental to you! Debate, what kind of eloquence does it rely on? Scholars and scholars are worthless. What is more important is the recording and description of events. effect.

Chairman Mao said: "Society is a big dye vat!" and "Reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles." Eloquence is a spoken language, while literary talent is a silent language. Language. Nowadays, people communicate with each other interactively. Good eloquence is easier to arouse the enthusiasm of others, or is more persuasive. No matter how talented you are, you will just be buried if you are not able to promote yourself. However, it is different for people who are very eloquent. , is the focus of the group at any time, and can attract more envious eyes. Do you think it is literary talent or eloquence that is more important? There is no doubt that it is the latter.

Eloquence Story

Eloquence is not a natural talent, it is acquired through hard training. Throughout the ages, those who have excellent eloquence are not inferior to ordinary people. How can we write a poem in seven steps and write it into a chapter? In ancient times, Confucius traveled around the world, today we have Zhou Enlai’s great diplomacy, and Martin Luther King’s liberation of black slaves. Have they been orators since childhood?

He practiced his eloquence on trees, tree stumps, and rows of corn.

In order to pronounce accurately, he corrected the position of his mouth and tongue in front of the mirror, being serious and meticulous.

eloquence is more important than literary talent, question

1. A word can tell a wise man or a foolish man. Words are spoken all the time, but articles are not written at any time. Articles need to be carefully considered, but eloquence is still an art of blurting out. Which one can highlight a person's literary heritage more? < /p>

2. Lawyers are a good example. If they only write well, how can they win over the other party and seek their own interests?

It is true that lawyers have to write defense drafts, but in court, more is done on the spot. When defending, which lawyer only reads manuscripts?

3. When heads of state negotiate, eloquence represents the strength of a country, but others will not appreciate your literary talent

4. If you have good eloquence, you must already have good literary talent; but if you have good literary talent, you may not also have good eloquence. Only with good eloquence can you show good literary talent. If you have good literary talent but without good eloquence, no one can understand your literary talent. Good eloquence is essential in real life.

5. Wang Xifeng in Dream of Red Mansions, she has no education, her family has raised her as a boy since she was a child, but she has a great mouth and excellent eloquence. Lin Daiyu is talented, but can she speak eloquently and deal with all the big and small things in the house?

6. People with literary talent may not be able to speak, but those who can express literary talent must be a person with literary talent

p>

7. Literary talent and eloquence are two different ways of reflecting people’s thinking. There is no premise or basis for who is who.

The basis of their unity should be thought and wisdom. A person without thought and wisdom, no matter how good his literary talent is, will only write romantic and meaningless moans. On the contrary, a person who is profound in thought and well-read, even if he does not have literary talent, can hit the nail on the head with just a few words and make people enlightened. Therefore, literary talent has never been the basis of eloquence. The two are related to each other, but this relationship is not mutually based.

8. History is recorded in words, sounds, pictures and images, not just literary talent. Literary talent is not the most important criterion for judging excellent historical books. The most important thing for recording history is authenticity. Before there was writing, oral narration was also a kind of historical inheritance. With the advent of writing, literary talent only adds beauty to historical classics. It is writing that inherits history, not literary talent!

Excellent books are the wealth of mankind, but the reason why they are passed down by future generations is not mainly because of their His literary talent is outstanding, but it is because of his profound thoughts. Secondly, how do we know these books?

The inheritance of history should actually be the result of the simultaneous effect of eloquence and literary talent. The two complement each other and are indispensable. Therefore, the role of literary talent cannot be expanded one-sidedly and Reduce the role of eloquence. Secondly, pure historical records do not equal literary talent, writing is just a carrier.

9. Fu Lei’s family letters and Zeng Guofan’s family letters are highly praised because the ideas they contain are good; but this does not mean that their expression methods are necessarily good. If you don’t believe it, if every parent buys a family book for their children to read, will the children naturally become sensible? Not necessarily. Moreover, even if Fu Lei and Zeng Guofan wrote such good family letters, their children are not all successful and famous throughout the ages, right?

10. The sales copy is only equivalent to an outline. Just imagine, if the salesperson just reads or memorizes the copy once when facing potential buyers, what will be the result?

11. Literary talent has never been the basis of eloquence. If you want to speak meaningfully, you need to have thoughts and experience, but you may not necessarily need to be talented in literature. The two are related to each other, but this relationship is not mutually based. There are many examples in history of poor literary talent but outstanding eloquence. Li Linfu is an example of a sweet talker and a sword. He has little reading, poor writing, and often pronounces in white characters. As for text messages and QQ, I think they confuse the concept of literary talent. Not everything expressed in written form is literary talent. In fact, text messages, QQ, etc. are just a form of expressing our oral communication and a reflection of eloquence. If literary talent can be considered as long as it is written in black and white, then "Quotations from Chairman Mao" does not reflect Chairman Mao's literary talent, right?

Questions that need to be refuted:

1. In a debate competition, if the debaters do not have excellent literary talents, how can they think carefully before speaking and overwhelm the opponent with reasonable logic and powerful facts?

4. Misfortune comes from the mouth. Where does the saying come from? It means that talking too much will eventually get you into trouble. Even if you are very eloquent, a wise man will make mistakes if he thinks about it. If you lack literary talent and just focus on eloquence, you will make mistakes

5. Anyone who has given a speech knows that when a person first When giving a speech, you must first write a manuscript and then be brought to give a speech. Then it is obvious, which is more important, eloquence or literary talent? Without good literary talent, your eloquence will not be good at all. play.

6. Eloquence emphasizes the ability to respond to situations, while literary talent emphasizes the ability to be realistic and prepared. How can there be so many sudden situations in real life? There is no luck in success, and people who are opportunistic will only run counter to success.

7. This debate question itself is also a bit confusing. It is easy to argue that literary talent is just literary talent. You must know that literary talent is not literary talent. Both literary talent and eloquence require literary talent as the basis. You must stick to these three words. Definition, if the definition is not grasped accurately, and the other side catches the flaw during the debate, and keeps biting it, it will be difficult for the opposing side to debate; on the contrary, if the other side does not understand it clearly, then it can also be used to counterattack

8. Excuse me Fellow debaters on the other side, if eloquence is more important than literary talent, will your exams each semester mainly test your eloquence or literary talent?

13. I would like to ask my fellow debaters, if you don’t have any accumulation of literary talent, how can you use your eloquence? How can you speak clearly and clearly? How can you convince people? How can you gain the respect of others?

14. Literary talent is very important. As the saying goes: "A great talent has a great strategy" without a good ideological realm, good psychological cultivation and cultural level. If you only have "eloquence", you may only have the title of "eloquence". Does the opponent's debate partner just want to be an "eloquent master"?

15. Literature is the inner part, and eloquence is the expression. If there is no such thing as literary talent, Basics, how can you express your thinking if you only have eloquence?

16. Ask the other debater, when you go for a job interview, does the recruiting unit look at your resume first or listen to your speech first? I Let me tell you, if you don’t have a resume as a stepping stone, you won’t even have a chance to get an interview, fellow debater.

17. I would like to ask the other debater, mutes can’t speak, right? If eloquence is more important than literary talent, are people like them useless? If you are a fool or a mute, which one would you choose?

18. I would like to ask the other debater, how many literati have left beautiful chapters since ancient times, and how many of them have accomplished things by just talking about it?

19. Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, Jiang Zemin’s ?Three Represents? The thoughts of these three generations of national leaders have promoted social development. These are the manifestations of literary talents, so they are great men. I would like to ask my fellow debater, who has become a great man by virtue of his eloquence?

20. You always say that good eloquence can play an important role in the sales industry, social communication, speeches and debates, etc. Then, what is it about working in the newspaper and magazine publishing industry, secretarial industry, writing field, literature field, academic field, etc. Is literary talent more important or eloquence more important?

21. Have you heard from the other party’s debate friends? A gentleman should not criticize others’ faults, and he should not speak his words. , sleep silently, there is also a famous saying in Buddhist saying: disaster comes from the mouth, silence is golden, right? This is the limitation of eloquence, friend of the other party.

22. Writing blogs, trolling online forums, writing online novels, etc. are all popular in today’s society. If literary talent is not important, how can you write about it, fellow debater? How can you keep up with the trend of the times? ?

23. From a long-term perspective of cultural inheritance and social development, literary talent is more effective and more convincing than eloquence. Can the other debater ask a person to use his eloquence to persuade others for ten thousand years? , do you want to give a speech that will last ten thousand years?

24. Ask the other debater, in order for Marx, Engels and other great men to spread their ideas to every corner of the world, why didn’t they give thousands or tens of thousands of speeches? Instead of giving a speech, should you write a book?

25. Fellow debater, if eloquence is more important than literary talent, in order to teach others your thoughts, do you have to travel to every corner of the earth and learn everything in the world? Do you speak another language?

26. At large-scale job fairs in recent years, many people are very articulate and eloquent when introducing themselves, but when asked about their professional knowledge, they immediately become speechless. Having said that, I handed in a test paper but couldn’t write it by hand. Can the other debater still say that eloquence is more important than literary talent?

27. The importance of something lies in its value, and judging its value is It lies in its influence. If the other party cites Lu Xun and Hu Shi, who are very influential people who rely on writing or very influential books (from the perspective that the most influential ones are their authors, but the other party will definitely say that if there is no literary talent , how to spread the great ideas and talents of these people) How to refute this? How to start from the influence of eloquence?
