French writer Buffon very aptly remarks, "the style is the man himself."（文如其人）

1. Diction：choices of words

2. Purity: use words that are reputable, national and present

3. Propriety: use words in their proper sense

4. Precision:

Six kinds of style

(1) dry, (2) plain, (3) neat, (4) elegant, (5) florid, (6) bombastic.
