Fourth, the "Classic of Poetry" in the use of fubi Xing technique not only let the literary works have a color and the spirit, but also can be borrowed to our speech, to increase our language euphemistic persuasive! Some words can't be stated directly, then it may be better to use the technique of "ratio" to compare this thing with the other thing, and some words can't be stated directly, then it may be better to use the technique of "Xing" to say the other thing first in order to cause the said thing, so that it is easier for the other party to accept.
