This book challenges the misconception that there was no rhetoric in ancient China. It provides evidence from public speeches in Xia dynasty, oracle bone inscriptions in Shang dynasty, to public debates about government policies in Han dynasty to show that persuasive discourse and rudimentary rhetorical techniques existed in ancient China.
