In the process of conducting research on the overall rhetorical structuring and internal discourse structuring of texts written in English (120 texts) and in Chinese (120 texts)by experienced and novice writers on the basis of prompts designed to elicit one of four discourse modes (recount, argument, explanation and classification), I reviewed
literature in a number of areas. One of these areas was contrastive rhetoric where I found a number of works that seemed to be based on misunderstanding and/or
misrepresentation of the Chinese philosophical/ rhetorical tradition. This short article begins by providing a brief outline of some critical aspects of that tradition, identifies some of the ways in which it has been misinterpreted and/ or misrepresented in literature in the area of contrastive rhetoric and discusses some of the potential
dangers associated with misinterpretation/ misrepresentation of this type, dangers that include the creation and promotion of stereotypes based on unacknowledged value judgments.
