“修辞立其诚”这一命题对中国修辞学界产生了深远的影响。中国修辞学界对“修辞”与“诚”关系的主流解读是“诚”是“修辞”的前提和基础,“修辞”必须从“诚”出发,不能妄加修饰,要求修辞必须出于真诚。然而,在修辞实践中,建立在“诚”基础上的“修辞”并不一定奏效。本文从西方修辞的视角对“修辞”与“诚”之间的关系进行重新解读,以期为中国修辞研究提供一个新的视角。 The proposition of “rhetoric establishing its integrity” has a profound influence on Chinese rhetoric. The mainstream interpretation of the relationship between “rhetoric” and “honesty” in Chinese rhetoric circles is that “honesty” is the prerequisite and basis of “rhetoric”, “rhetoric” must start from “honesty” Can not improper modification requires rhetoric must be out of good faith. However, in rhetorical practice, “rhetoric” based on “honesty ” does not necessarily work. This essay re-interprets the relationship between “rhetoric ” and “honesty ” from the perspective of western rhetoric in order to provide a new perspective for the study of Chinese rhetoric.
