What 讲 means
It means talking, explaining, or discussing. 讲 is the simplified form of traditional 講; both write the same Mandarin word. The form was included in mainland China’s 1956 character-simplification scheme. In 讲道理 it can mean reason with someone; in 讲价, bargain over a price.
Texts from ancient China’s Warring States period use 講 for ending hostilities. The Eastern Han dictionary Shuowen Jiezi glosses it as “make peace.”
Neutral alone; the surrounding words set its tone.
讲道理 may tell someone to be reasonable, not just to talk.
