Semantic harmony principle in rhetoric is worthy of further research. Rhetoric must take the principle as a foundation, but
doesn't need to follow it strictly. The phenomenon of semantic disharmony exists frequently, but this kind of semantic disharmony does not create understanding obstacles, instead, it strengthens language expression effects. This is because, in rhetoric, we can carry on compensation to semantic harmony principle by some mechanisms as construction suppression. The semantic harmony principle should be understood broadly. It is, in rhetoric, a kind of overall accommodation.
