Old Chinese Criteria
1. The current general words for persuasion are shuì 說 "persuade of a point of view or a course of action" versus quàn 勸 "persuade someone to engage in a certain course of action he or she was not originally planning to enage in". 2. Jiàn 諫 refers specifically to remonstration or dissuasion of a superior. See REMONSTRATE. 3. Fěng 諷 refers to persuasion of a superior by subtle indirect means. NB: Practical "persuasion" of the quàn 勸 kind differs from quàn 勸 "to encourage" in that it contains a clear element of intellectual persuasion that it is right to do what one is encouraging someone to do.
