Recently, you may often hear many people talking about the term underlying logic. I think this may be attributed to “[Underlying Logic: Seeing the Trump Cards of the World]” written by Liu Run, a well-known business consultant from the other side of the Taiwan Strait. gn=ap-202403)” and “[Underlying Logic 2: Leading you to upgrade your thinking and explore the business treasures contained in numbers](https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products /0010969169?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202403)》Given. Since his two books were published in Taiwan, I often hear people talking about the underlying logic…

So, what exactly is underlying logic (Underlying Logic)?

The so-called underlying logic refers to the basic laws of how things operate. It is the commonality between different things and the fundamental reason that can explain and predict the development of things. It is like the foundation of a building, which determines the stability and load-bearing capacity of the building.

In my opinion, the underlying logic has at least three characteristics:

• Universality: The underlying logic is universal and is not limited by time, space and things. For example, the compound interest effect is the underlying logic in the financial field, but it is also applicable to other fields, such as learning and growth. *Essence: The underlying logic is the essence of things and the fundamental reason for the development of things. For example, [Demand and Supply](https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/Demand and Supply) is the underlying logic of the market economy, which determines the price of goods.
• Stability: The underlying logic is relatively stable and will not change easily. For example, the law of the earth’s rotation around the sun is the underlying logic of astronomy, and it has not changed in millions of years.

By learning to master the underlying logic, you can gain the following benefits:

• Help us see the essence of things clearly: The underlying logic can help us jump out of the appearance, go deep into the inside of things, and grasp the essence of things. For example, in the business field, if we master the underlying logic of [Business Model](https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/Business Model), we can clearly see the core value and profitability of a company.
• Help us solve problems: The underlying logic can help us find the fundamental solution to the problem. For example, in the field of learning, if we can master the underlying logic of learning rules, we can formulate more effective learning strategies.
• Help us improve our cognitive level: The underlying logic can help us establish a systematic way of thinking and improve our cognitive level. For example, in the field of history, by mastering the underlying logic of historical development, we can better understand the development process of human society.

So, how can we grasp the underlying logic?

• Learn more and think more: If you want to master the underlying logic, you need to accumulate a lot of knowledge and experience. We can improve our knowledge and experience through reading, thinking, and practice.
• Be good at summarizing and summarizing: In the process of learning and thinking, we need to understand more about how to summarize and summarize, find out the [commonalities] between things (https://dict.revised.moe.edu.tw/dictView.jsp?ID=75798&la=0&powerMode=0), and refine the underlying logic.
• Draw inferences from one example: After mastering the underlying logic, we must also learn to draw inferences, lateral thinking and quote from other sources, and apply it to different fields and things.

All in all, underlying logic is an important way of thinking, which can help us understand the world faster and more comprehensively, solve problems, and thereby improve the overall cognitive level.

After seeing this, I believe you already understand the underlying logic. Next, I want to talk to you about the underlying logic of writing.

Simply put, the underlying logic of writing refers to some basic principles that must be followed when writing. These rules are like a writing operating system and are an important basis for ensuring the quality of the work and the smooth logic of the writing. If you can master these basic principles, your work will have a good structure and internal logic, attract readers, and effectively convey your ideas.

What principles should be included in the underlying logic of writing? I think there may be no standard answer, but all the principles of thinking and organizational structure that need to be paid attention to or followed when writing articles can be considered to be in the category of underlying logic. These principles include how to arrange your thoughts, organize your paragraphs, use appropriate logical sequence and connections, and ensure that your content is clear, coherent, and persuasive.

The underlying logic of writing mainly includes the following aspects:

• Clear theme and central idea: Before you start writing, I hope you need to determine the theme and central idea of the article, which will help you clarify the content direction and writing structure of the entire article.
• Well-structured paragraphs: Each paragraph should have a clear topic and develop content within the paragraph. There should be bridging arrangements between paragraphs to ensure coherence throughout the article.
• Logical sequence and relevance: The content of the article should be organized in a reasonable order so that readers can smoothly understand the development process of ideas. In addition, the connection between paragraphs and sentences is also important to avoid jumping transitions.
• Appropriate evidence and examples: When expressing opinions or arguments, you need to provide specific evidence and examples to support your opinions. The evidence should be reliable and convincing.
• Clear and precise expression: Use clear, precise and specific words to express ideas and avoid vague expressions to ensure that readers can accurately understand the message you want to convey.

For example, let’s say you want to write an article about environmental protection. At this time, you can follow the following steps to conceive:

• Set a theme: For example, you set the theme to “The Importance of Environmental Protection” and then start collecting writing materials.
• Planning paragraphs: The first paragraph can introduce the background and significance of environmental protection, and each subsequent paragraph discusses a specific environmental problem and solution.
• Logical order and relevance: You can arrange the paragraphs according to the severity of the problem or the difficulty of solving it to ensure that your thoughts are laid out and developed in a hierarchical manner.
• Evidence and case support: cite relevant environmental data or cases in each paragraph to support your viewpoint.
• Clear and precise expression: Use clear, specific and vivid vocabulary to describe the problem, and preferably to propose a solution.

In the process of learning writing, it is very important to master the underlying logic. By following a few basic principles, you can make your writing more structured and persuasive, and write a powerful article that attracts readers and communicates your ideas effectively.

As a writing coach, I hope to help you improve your writing skills and create more outstanding works! From now on, bravely show your unique thinking and bring more positive impact to the world!
