First, when the famous writer Liu Shaotang visited abroad, a foreign reporter maliciously asked: Mr. Liu, I heard that your country is carrying out reform and opening up to learn the advanced science, technology and management methods of capitalism. Won't your country become capitalism? Liu Shaotang counterattacked: in this way, if you drink milk, you will become a cow.
Learning the advanced science and technology and management methods of capitalism will become a capitalist country, which is obviously a fallacy. According to this fallacy, Liu Shaotang set up a related fallacy that if you drink milk, you will become a cow. In this way, it constitutes a relationship that is the same and absurd as the other side's fallacy, which produces a powerful refutation power and refutes the other party at one stroke.
Second, in the autumn of 1982, at the Sino-American Writers' Conference held in Los Angeles, the United States, American poet Alan Ginsburg asked Chinese writer Jiang Zilong to solve a strange riddle: put a 5-jin chicken into a bottle that can only hold 1 jin of water. How do you take it out? Jiang Zilong said: I will take it out as you put it in. You obviously put the chicken into the bottle as soon as you said it, so I'll use the language tool to take the chicken out again. Ginsburg could not help admiring: you are the first person to guess this strange riddle.
I'll take it out as you put it in. In addition to the literal meaning I took out with the method you put in, this sentence actually implies another message. if you can't put it in at all, I don't have to take it out. In this way, a hot potato was successfully thrown back by Jiang Zilong.

3. Wang Meng-empty talk avoidance: in June 1986, Wang Meng became Minister of Culture. At a Chinese and foreign press conference, a foreign journalist asked him: what are the similarities and differences between Wang Meng in the 1950s and Wang Meng in the 1980s? Wang Meng replied: my name was Wang Meng in the 1950s and Wang Meng in the 1980s, which is the same. The difference is that I was in my twenties in the 1950s and in my fifties in the 1980s.
The questions of American journalists have ulterior motives. Wang Meng in the 1950s was a rightist, and Wang Meng in the 1980s was a minister. It is often easy to give people a handle when talking about such personal experiences and political destinies. Wang Meng knew it in his heart, so he seemed absolutely correct and relevant in terms of name and age, but in fact there was no exact and useful information about the problem.

4. Liang Xiaosheng asked: on one occasion, a reporter from a British television station interviewed Liang Xiaosheng and asked him to answer his question without hesitation. Liang Xiaosheng nodded his approval. The reporter's question is: without the Cultural Revolution, it may not have produced your generation of young writers, so in your opinion, is the Cultural Revolution good or bad? Liang Xiaosheng was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted and immediately asked: without World War II, there would be no writers famous for reflecting World War II, so do you think World War II is good or bad?
The tricky questions raised by British reporters are because Liang Xiaosheng is already very passive before he opens his mouth, and whether he says it is good or bad, he will end up in a dilemma. However, at a time when he was in a dilemma, Liang Xiaosheng quickly raised an equally ingenious question, using his spear to attack his shield. It's amazing how smart it is!

Sha Ye Xin Miao quotes the idiom: on one occasion, Sha Yexin was invited to visit the United States and had extensive communication and exchanges with all walks of life in the United States. At that time, someone suddenly asked Sha Yexin: do you think the United States or China is better? He calmly replied: although the United States is advanced in science and technology, it has its own disadvantages, and although China lags behind the United States in science and technology, it has its own advantages. Both the United States and China have their own defects, which is called lsquo; & rsquo;, the tense atmosphere suddenly becomes harmonious.
This is also a dilemma. When Sha Yexin took up the conversation, he impartially divided both China and the United States into two big boards, affirming the good side and pointing out the insufficient side, which is reasonable, fair and objective. The quotation of the idiom "imperfection in beauty" is really exquisite. This answer, funny and flexible, and dialectical analysis, Sha Yexin deserves to be a wise man with a smooth mouth of poetry.

Professor Lu Kanru, who has been president of Shandong University for many years, studied in France when he was young.
At the doctoral thesis defense meeting in 1935, a foreign examiner with wide eyes and deep eyes asked a tricky question: & lsquo; peacocks fly southeast & why doesn't rsquo;, fly to the northwest? People all looked at each other and looked stunned.
Peacock flying to the southeast is the starting sentence of "Ancient Poetry written for Jiao Zhongqing's wife". It uses Bixing technique and has nothing to do with the content. How can people answer it academically? But the handsome Mr. Lu thought for a moment, and Lang Sheng replied, "because there are tall buildings in the northwest."
There are tall buildings in the northwest, which are in line with the floating clouds! This answer comes from the "Nineteen Ancient Poems" of the literati's five-character poems at the end of the Han Dynasty, which is roughly the same as the Peacock Flying to the Southeast. Because there are tall buildings in the northwest, which are in line with the floating clouds, blocking the peacock's way to the northwest, it simply turns back and goes back to the southeast of Zhenyu!
Wonderful answers to tricky questions, people smile at each other, the field is full of charm. Mr. Lu's answer shows his alertness and wisdom in the face of heckles and his profound classical literary skills that he is familiar with ancient books.
Many years later, Mr. Yang Mingzhao, who laid the foundation for his academic career with the book Wen Xin Diao long School Notes, heard this anecdote and said with a smile: this answer can enter the new era, but without these five words, it is not enough to make the best of it!

7. When the poet and professor Chen Mengjia spoke the Analects of Confucius, he often entered the country. whenever he read about the late spring, the spring clothes were ready, five or six crowns, six or seven boys, bathed in Yi, the wind danced, and when they returned, they could not help waving their arms and robes with wide sleeves.
On one occasion, a student asked a strange question: teacher, excuse me & 72 sages of the disciples of lsquo; Confucius, how many are married? How many people are not married? & rsquo; this nonsensical question immediately caused a roar of laughter in the house and all the students were sweating for Mr. Chen.
Chen Mengjia stopped and came up with an idea and said in the poem: there are five or six winners, five or six get 30, so 30 sages are married; six or seven boys get 42, 42 unmarried, thirty plus 42, exactly 72 sages. There was another burst of laughter, which was full of admiration and admiration for Mr. Chen.
It is impossible to play out this wonderful match without a quick mind and a sensitivity to numbers. What is even more commendable is that Mr. Chen is a professor of liberal arts and is unambiguous in science.

8. Liu Wendan was a famous professor at Tsinghua University at that time. He taught his students and pursued strong academic nature, new content and unique language. He once said: I will not tell what others have said, and others have not said what I have said. Without profound knowledge, who dares to say so? The students of that time, the university classes of that time, were very open. If you dare to talk big, I will find out the truth.
Once, the student asked loudly, "do you have any suggestions on writing an article?" Liu Wendan responded, "good question!" Then read aloud five big words: Guanyin Bodhisattva. All the students were amazed at what it was!
Then, teacher Liu mysteriously explained: & lsquo; view & rsquo;, observe life a lot; & lsquo; & rsquo;, need to understand worldly and human feelings; & lsquo; sound & rsquo;, pay attention to phonology; & lsquo; Bodhisattva & rsquo;, should have a Bodhisattva heart that saves suffering and cares for sentient beings.
Sure enough, it is extraordinary, so that many students have never heard of it. If you think about it carefully, it is really a good idea to summarize the knowledge of writing articles to be both comprehensive and profound.

The above classic dialogue is a flash of inspiration for famous teachers who are knowledgeable and accumulated, because they have read enough books to achieve the situation of keeping ten thousand hui in the chest by huff and puff, and the belly is full of poetry and words, plus giving speeches in the ivory tower year after year. In the face of thousands of students with active thinking, they have honed their language wisdom, responsiveness, responsiveness and astonishing speech.
