Verification and Validation
实效和验证。王充（27—97？）特别重视“效验”。王充认为，举出实效和验证是判断言论是非的唯一方法或标准。人的认识是否正确，不能凭说空话或聪明才智来判断，必须通过“效验”来证明。王充对言论是非的“效验”，并不只是依赖于感觉经验，还需要理性思维对感觉经验进行加工推理，从而获得正确的认识。
This term means testing for verification and validity. Wang Chong (27-97?) felt that verification and validation is the only method or standard for determining the correctness of an argument. Whether or not an idea is correct cannot be determined solely by empty words or cleverness; rather, it has to be proved through "verification and validation." To Wang Chong, the "verification and validation" of an argument should not be based only on sensory experiences. Correct ideas can only be arrived at by using rational thinking to draw inferences from sensory experiences.
引例 Citation：
◎凡论事者，违实不引效验，则虽甘义繁说，众不见信。（王充《论衡·知实》）
凡是论说事情，违背事实而不引用实效与验证，那么即便意思美好、论说繁多，人们也不相信。
In any discussion, if one contradicts the facts and does not use verification and validation, then no matter how lovely the contents or elaborate the arguments, no one will believe them. (Wang Chong: A Comparative Study of Different Schools of Learning)
