Chinese shuangguan， is one of the linguistic forms invariablyloved by the Chinese people. Many Chinese thetoricians such asZhang Gong（ 1963 ） ，Chen Wangdao （ 1979） ，Ni Baoyuan（1980），Wang Xijie （1993） consider shuangguan， to be a veryeffective and useful trope and set a high value on it. Among them，Ni Baoyuan（ 1980：267-269）presents a detailed descriptionabout the various rhetorical functions of shuangguan. First of all， Ni Baoyuan points out that shuangguan is highly economical， because it can bring together two meanings by means ofa single word or sentence. The exploitation of shuangguan isconducive to the conciseness of lartguage style. This viewpoint is generaHy agreed upon among all the Chinese thetoricians. Second，Ni Baoyuan says that shuangguan as a prominent formof wordplay may function either to amuse or to verbally attack.When it is used to express praises， it can more often than not createhumor and vividness， thus enhancing rapport indirectly. Thefollowing example will suffice to illustrate this. ……
