A typical example of analogy argument is actually seen by many people: "Fish, what I want, bear's paw, what I want. You can't have your cake and eat it. You can't have your cake and eat it. Healthy. That's what I want; Righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both, and those who give up their lives are also righteous. "

This passage comes from the eloquent Mencius in the Warring States Period. In order to prove the truth of sacrificing life for righteousness, Mencius compared the relationship between fish and bear's paw with the relationship between life and righteousness. The similarity between the two is "giving up light and taking heavy", which leads to the truth of "giving up life for righteousness"

Therefore, analogy argument is an argument method to prove the argument by comparing known things with things with some similar characteristics. Because we need to find the same characteristics, we suggest that you often practice this method in your daily writing, so as to make an appropriate analogy in the exam.

2. The legend of "God of Luck"

There is a story in the Czech Republic that St. John Nepomuk is a penitent of King Vences Routh IV. Because the king suspected that the queen was having an affair with someone else, he went to Nai Pomuk and asked him to tell the secrets revealed by the queen in her prayers. But Nai Pomuk obeyed the canon and refused the king's request. The king was very angry and ordered the soldiers to throw Nai Pomuk from Charles Bridge into the river.

Legend has it that when Nepomuk was submerged by the river, five twinkling stars suddenly appeared miraculously in the sky above, as if mourning his departure. From then on, in the eyes of Czechs, Nepomuk became a hero who sacrificed his life to keep secrets and protect good feelings. Be regarded as the god of luck.

brief introduction

Analogy argument is an argument method to prove an argument by comparing and analogizing a known thing (or case) with something (or case) with some similar characteristics.

Among them, "the same characteristics" is the premise of this argument method, without which analogy cannot be made; "Comparative analogy" is the fundamental symbol of this argument method. Without this reasoning process, the purpose of proving the argument cannot be achieved; "Known things" is an important condition of this argument method. It is an object that serves the main thing to be discussed. Without this condition, analogy can't be obvious, can't be easily accepted by readers, and can't achieve the purpose of proving the argument in some cases.

By comparing the same characteristics of object and subject, this method of argument compares the nature of object with that of subject, thus revealing that subject and object have the same nature, thus achieving the purpose of proof and argument.

In Zou Ji's Irony, the author compares Zou Ji's nature of being deceived by unrealistic praise to Wang Qi, which vividly proves the argument that "Wang is ignorant". It can be seen that the object plays a role in proving some properties of the subject in the argument, and then proves the argument. So, in essence, these are some special arguments.
