Abstract
As an outstanding thinker in the Eastern Han Dynasty of China, Wang Chong wrote many books during his lifetime, but all of them were lost except Lunheng. The purport of Lunheng is to reveal and criticize all kinds of "Xuwang（an ancient Chinese word, with the similar meaning of falsehood, fallacy, etc.）" in the society at that time. In our opinion, the ideological support behind Lunheng is Wang Chong's thoughts on argumentation.
