Abstract
It is necessary to point out that linguistic practice is a vital issue in Chinese culture (and actually all cultures in the world) not only because culture cannot be separated from language but because the discourse on ming and shi itself exemplifies linguistic practice. Thus, the following three chapters will make a more detailed analysis of this issue by discussing three dimensions of discourse: speech, argument, and dao.
